Some slots which appear to have been around forever are the 3 Reel slots, and to be fair these were in fact the first slot machines to appear both online and in land based venues, and whilst offering a very basic type of game play you will still find plenty of them available to play.
The playing structure of all 3 reel slot games are simple to understand, with just three reels in play on each of them this reduces the number of paylines available and the very few 3 Reel slots which offer bonus type rounds have basic variations of these bonus games on offer.
