Slots
Best casinos according to our expert reviews
Each slot review lists the game's studio, RTP, maximum win and stake range, with what the features do and how the game plays. Two numbers matter most when you choose: the RTP, which sets what the game costs over time, and the maximum win, the clearest sign of how volatile it is. Check the RTP in the game's info screen at your casino too, because casinos can run a lower version than the one we reviewed. Our guide to how slots pay explains both.
Types of slots
| Type | How it works | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | Three reels and a few paylines, fruit-machine style | Simple, usually modest maximum wins |
| Video | Five or more reels, paylines or ways to win, free spins and features | The widest range, from steady to very volatile |
| Megaways | The number of symbols per reel changes every spin, up to 117,649 ways to win | Usually high volatility; see Big Time Gaming, who created it |
| Cluster pays | Groups of matching symbols pay, wherever they touch | Often cascades and multipliers |
| Hold and Win | Special symbols lock in place during respins | Most of the return sits in the feature |
| Jackpot | Part of each stake feeds a fixed or growing prize | Lower base-game returns; the top prize is a long shot |
What jackpots don't do
A jackpot doesn't become more or less likely because it was won recently or because it has grown large. Each spin's chance is set by the game. Our article on progressive jackpots explains how they work and what they cost.
