3 Reel Slots - Closer to the Real Thing
As technology improved and slots designers become more creative, slots fans have gradually made the transition to five-reel slot games that offer more combinations and chances to win. But the traditionalists among us still play the 3 reel slots games that call to mind the original one-armed bandit of many years ago.
Of course, these first mechanical machines (also known as fruit machines because of the images on the reels) were operated by a lever on the side. That’s where the one-armed bandit name came from.
