Manufacturers of video slots usually offer 3-reel or 5-reel slots to online casino customers. Such gaming machines seem to be the most popular. However users can come across models with one or more additional columns, which are used for special purposes. The images shown on them allow running various special bonus features, which make the gameplay more interesting and diverse.

We want to warn our readers in advance that this list cannot be considered as rankings. That’s why all models are listed randomly. Detailed reviews of all the games can be found in individual articles. Follow the links to open them.
Hot Safari
This game is offered by Pragmatic Play. Ten basic images and two special symbols are available on five reels. The sixth column shows multipliers, which range from 1x to 10x. An additional multiplier which appears in the middle is taken into account. It is necessary to determine the payout size for each of the formed combinations.
In addition, the sixth reel contains a special symbol. It triggers the bonus round called Super Wild. When you play it, wild pictures appear randomly on all reels. Details can be found in the review of the Hot Safari slot machine.
Fortune Hill
This 3D slot about characters of fairy tales was released by Playtech. Users may notice a wheel located from the right side of the five basic reels. It resembles a watermill. This wheel shows additional multipliers (2x, 3x, and 4x), and special images, which activate bonus features.

However some sectors of the sixth reel of the Fortune Hill slot machine are filled with symbols. In the middle users may notice an arrow. It indicates an element involved in the current round. When a multiplier comes up, it is used to calculate the payout for the formed combination. Other images can run free spins or trigger bonus rounds.
Steampunk Luck
Developers of Skillonnet released the Steampunk Luck slot machine, inspired by a science fiction genre called steampunk. This slot has an extra reel. It starts spinning when three or more scatters appear on the basic five reels.
