Cascading reels are one of the dynamic features video slots designers add to games these days. When game designers look for features which add excitement and dynamism to a game, they’ll find few features as exciting or dynamic as cascading reels. With increasing frequency over the years, many of the most famous online slots offer the cascading symbols feature.

UK Reels Casino is powered by Nektan (Gibraltar) Limited a company registered in Gibraltar. Nektan is licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission (Number 000-039107-R-319400-015) for customers in Great Britain and licensed by the Gibraltar Government and regulated by the Gibraltar Gambling Commission (RGL no.054) for all other customers. The biggest difference is the fact that reeled slots play host to a physical reel that spins, while video slots often just project spinning reels on a video screen, much like how every online slot game functions. Reel slots are more classic and are the way in which slot games first came into existence.

Slots with cascading reels are more common than you would think. The problem is, different software designers call this feature by different names. Microgaming calls them “rolling reels”. NetEnt sometimes calls a similar game mechanic the “avalanche feature”. IGT and Play’n GO each call this feature “tumbling reels”. Cascading reels are a widespread concept with many different names. New players might not know what a cascading reel is, so I’ll provide a short description of this feature.

Roaming Reels Slot Machine

Roaming Reels is a 5 reel, 100 pay-line slot machine by Ainsworth Gaming. The game features a safari theme, with it's highest paying symbols represented as the map of Africa, zebras, emus and antelopes.

Spinning Reels With Trigger

The main feature in the Roaming Reels slot is a classic free spins bonus. Land 3, 4 or 5 Scatters anywhere on the reels and you will win 8, 12 or 20 free games respectively.

During the bonus, you get extra wilds and can re-trigger the game multiple times. The lion assumes the role of 'Wild' which lands on the reels 3, 4 and 5 during the base game whereas the acacia tree is the Scatter, which re-triggers the bonus.

Within the feature, Lion Wild symbols appear on the reels 1, 3 and 5 - these Lions substitute for all regular symbols and so you have a much better chance of hitting a big win. Whenever you land 3 or more Scatters during free games, an additional 5 free spins will be awarded.

During both the base and bonus game, the top paying symbol is the map of Africa which, if you get a 5-in-a-row, will award 1,000 coins. When you place 5 Scatters on the reels, you will win 100x your total bet. The maximum potential win on any spin is 100,000 credits.

Roaming Reels Pokies

Players from New Zealand and Australia can enjoy the Roaming Reels pokie in various online casinos. Though the term is different (pokie as opposed to slot), the game is absolutely identical to the Las Vegas version.

As for the UK market, Roaming Reels is referred to as a fruit machine or slot, and again, it comes with all the same gameplay and features as the Vegas version.

Clearly, it's not just the theme, or the shiny polished graphics and sound that makes the game (although these aspect certainly help), but the gameplay itself, which is about as good as it gets for what is a standard 5x3 slot game.

When I played this Roaming Reels slots game for the first time, it took me a little while to get into it, but then I hit the bonus and it re-triggered quite a few times. In that respect, it reminded me of Buffalo slots by Aristocrat (the best game ever)
