Classic slots
Classic (or fruit) slots use a simple three-reel layout with few paylines and traditional symbols. They are straightforward and fast. See how to play slots.
Video slots
Video slots have five or more reels, rich themes, and many features like wilds, scatters and bonus rounds.
Grid and Megaways slots
Grid slots use a large symbol grid with cluster pays or cascades, while Megaways slots vary the ways to win each spin.
Choosing a type
Classic suits players who like simplicity; video and grid suit those who want features and variety. The paytable and volatility matter more than the type.
