MicroGaming Classic Slots
Classic slot games are still popular, although it's the most traditional of the slot categories. MicroGaming offers a large assortment of this type of slot machines as well. Nevertheless, what separates classic slots from video slots? Both stakes and potential winnings are generally lower in the classic category, the graphics are usually simple, and there are practically always fewer paylines. Many a slot player still prefers this type of game, however, because of the simplicity and ease of use.
What kinds of slots are available in the MicroGaming software? There is a wide range of different machines, which can be divided into different categories depending on the number of paylines. The largest category is the single-payline slot - the most traditional of all slots. MicroGaming offers more than 80 different slots in this category. A second slot category has either 3 or 5 paylines, and although there are fewer slots in this category, the variety is large enough to satisfy most players. There are approximately 15 different 3-payline slots and around 30 5-payline slots.
I have chosen a number of classic MicroGaming slots with a varying amount of paylines to clarify how they work:
High 5
This singe payline slot machine is one of the most popular at MicroGaming, perhaps thanks to the combination of simplicity and a possibility of large payouts. There are 12 winning combinations and a jackpot that is second to none among the classic slots - 15,000 times the wager! You win this jackpot if you get three high-five symbols on your payline. The high-five symbols also work as wild cards, meaning you may combine them with any of the other symbols to produce a winning combination. If you manage to win with one of these symbols, your winnings are multiplied by five, and if you catch two wilds for a winning combination, your winnings are multiplied by 25.

Diamond 7's
If you're looking for an uncomplicated slot machine with obvious winning chances, you could go for Diamond 7's, which is the simplest kind of slot. With a maximum payout of 2,500 times the wager and only 10 winning combinations, this is a good choice for players who prefer the basics. You may still choose between small or large wagers, from $0.25 up to a $5 max.

1 Arm Bandit
MicroGaming also offers classic slots with three paylines. One of these is the 1 Arm Bandit - a simple machine with a nice backdrop. It has a Wild West theme and the objective is to catch three one-armed bandits and win the jackpot. The maximum wager is $5 and the largest possible payout is 4,000 times the wager. If you like straightforward design and a possibility of winning big, 1 Arm Bandit has all the prerequisites of becoming one of your favorites.

Jingle Bells
Finally, MicroGaming has a number of five-payline slots. Most of them are fairly similar and the winning possibilities are about equal in all of the different machines. If you have to pick one, it has to be Jingle Bells - a classic slot machine that pays out up to 6,000 times the wager, provided you play all five paylines. All of the bells are wild, and may be combined freely with any other symbols to make up a winning combination. The jackpot varies between 1,000 and 6,000 times the wager depending on how many lines you play.
