The modern five reel slots are video bonus slots and typically offer free spins, bonus rounds where players can play for instant credits and superb graphics. The pay lines are spread across five reels (hence the name) and can range from 5 pay lines up to a 100. Although the five reel slots are packed with entertainment, they are also the most expensive to play.

Are Online Casino Games Safe?

The best casinos are safe, but you still need to do your homework. Safe casinos use a 128-bit encryption, which is the same security your bank uses for online transactions. Your information should be stored on a secure sever using an SSL (Secure Socket Layer). To double check, look for a small lock pad icon. The icon should be available on the main website or in the casino lobby in the lower right hand corner. Click the icon, and the SSL certificate should pop-up. Safe casinos will use a certified RNG (Random Number Generator). These casinos submit to frequent audits thus ensuring games are 100% fair and random. Furthermore, many of the top casinos will publish the results of the audits on their website. If you can't find the audit, or it's not available on site, simply send the casino a request through email, and they should provide you with the information. Audits are typically performed by a third party, which can include TST (Technical Systems Testing), and PWC (Price Waterhouse Cooper).
