When online slots were first introduced, they took a couple of years to catch on but after that, there was no going back. Online slots took off and quickly became the most sought-after casino game.
There are many opinions on why slots are number 1. Some say it’s the gigantic prizes that attract customers, others claim that it’s the simplicity of the game. But what about the simplest of slots, the classic slot machines in pubs and casinos that won over people’s hearts back in the 20th century?
In this article, we present classic slots that are still popular today.
Cleopatra
You can tell this is a classic slot by looking at it. The Egyptian-themed game is monochrome blue, rustic and simple enough for any slot player. Cleopatra was one of the first slots available when casinos started offering slots and the game is still popular today. It has been updated and upgraded just enough to stay relevant but still keep its classic look and gameplay. RTP of 95.02%, 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines offer a well-balanced base game, but that is not all there is to Cleopatra. The slot benefits from features:
- Wilds
- Free Spins
Wheel of Fortune
A classic TV show makes a classic slot. Wheel of Fortune has been massively popular since its introduction in 1996 by IGT. People loved having a chance to win while playing a slot that reminded them of the TV show. Some people say that the Wheel of Fortune slot started the trend of branded online games.
The Wheel of Fortune has a range of mini-games, where you will be able to spin the wheel for a prize payout. The main prize in this slot is the jackpot, which is worth 250’000 coins! To sum up, these are the features included in the game:
- Wilds and Super Wilds (x5 multiplier)
- Triple action bonus
- Jackpot
Mega Joker
Mega Joker was a classic land-based slot machine that was often seen as the face of slot machines. Today there is a popular counterpart of the same name, produced by IGT. This slot has fruits, bells, 7’s and of course the Joker for winning symbols.
The 3 reel, 3 row and 5 payline slot is so simple there is not much to be explained about the base game. The features in the game are a whole different story though.
Supermeter Bonus can be activated by a specific symbol layout across the reels. During this bonus, all paylines will be active and you will have the possibility to bet higher sums than the base game permits. If you manage to land a joker during the Supermeter bonus, you will be awarded a mystery prize worth up to 2000 coins.
What is more to Mega Joker is a fixed jackpot worth £30’000! Match 3 joker symbols in a row to trigger the jackpot. According to the game developers, the jackpot is won once every week.
This slot also currently holds the title of the highest RTP in online games! Mega Joker scores 99% in RTP. Now that’s something you don’t see every day!
