The new video slots have video reels and many of them also incorporate bonus rounds into the game. With this technology and design they do not have to use reel mapping so they are not confined to having only 32 physical stops on each reel. The game designers can incorporate any number of video symbols on each reel. Most of the new games have five reels but can pay numerous pay lines. The player decides how many lines they want to play and how many coins to bet on each line. The new technology used in Big Top Circus even lets the players pick symbols rather than lines. The new video reels have between 30 and 90 symbols on each reel. A machine with 50 symbols on each of the five reels would produce more than 312 million combinations. (50x50x50x50x50 =312,500,000) This is the reason the video slots can offer such large Jackpots.
Now you know the reel story behind the slot machines and how your chances of winning are related to teh symbols and reels.
