Casinos will over time remove games from the floor to make way for new and shiny options. However, that doesn’t mean that games disappear forever. Some casinos hold on to games as long as they can, but there’s a new way for games to be available nowadays!
Some have found their way onto online casinos, and with that shift brings these classic games to a whole new generation of players. Here’s 12 games from the past that we love, and are available online.
Black Diamond
Everi’s timeless three-reel, nine-line slot delivers a fun experience full of action. With two progressives awarded for getting three Black Diamond symbols at max bet (including the top progressive for doing so on 9 line), there’s some big win opportunities, but the mixed bars and 7s also ensure you’re getting paid along the way, with Black Diamond symbols also serving as wilds to help things along.
Buffalo
This Aristocrat classic continues to thrive on casino floors in various permutations and brand extensions, but the original still lives on both on casino floors and online. The big wins that are possible for lining up stacks of Buffalo, along with the wild multipliers in the bonus, are an enduring favorite for players that ensure a great opportunity every time you sit down.
China Shores
This Konami slot continues to be a favorite for many, in part because of the potential for so many free spins either on trigger or during a retrigger. The game is well known for having a bonus round that can go on for quite awhile, or you can cash out fast with the credit prize option. The original still can be found on casino floors, but it’s great that the game can be played online as well.
Da Vinci Diamonds
This IGT favorite features cascading reels, which allow for additional wins to fall in after the previous ones are paid. The bonus on Da Vinci Diamonds features top symbol scatter pays and the ability to retrigger for more spins, adding to the excitement. This favorite continues to live on in some casinos, but is readily accessible online.
Jumpin’ Jalapenos
This Konami workhorse, with wilds that nudge into place during the bonus, was one of their low volatility recommendations when we asked them awhile back. With a generous 12 free spins, the game can be quite fun when you get a bonus, but even the base game can deliver the goods. While various versions of this game have come out over the years, the original is what you’ll find online today.
Kronos
The original Kronos was a casino favorite when introduced, and has found its way to online casinos. With the ability for Kronos to pay left to right and right to left, the volatile game offered some pretty huge hits to those who got lucky. Even better, the online version retained the ability to select your line count, making the bet options more granular than most games allow.
Mustang Money
This Ainsworth classic is often found in low and high denomination formats, with an unusual bonus that incorporates a respin element when you get a symbol on reels 1 and 5 of the bonus that turn the reels wild during a respin. Along with other exciting moments that can occur both in the base game and free spins, this classic has stood the test of time.
Red Alert
Everi excels with these mechanical reel slots, but this one incorporates another element popular on some Everi games, the respin. Each respin will yield a win of at least as much as the spin before it, if not more, building to some pretty exciting moments when the wins get up there.
Thunder Cash
While Thunder Cash, an Ainsworth slot, is normally found in high limit rooms, a low-limit version is also on occasion found on casino floors. Online, you can effectively play the 20-line game in both formats, given the array of bet options. And with a sticky wild bonus that can get quite exciting, it’s a fun slot to play.
Wicked Winnings II
Aristocrat’s biggest games continue to thrive on the casino floor; Wicked Winnings II is one of those that has stood the test of time. More recently, it finally made the lead online, with its wild reel respins and frequent bonuses with retriggers.
Wolf Run
The wild stack of wolves has been a longstanding IGT theme, and the original still thrives on casino floors. So it’s natural the game has made the leap online. With free spins that can get incredibly big quickly with enough wild stacks showing up on the reels, it’s a game that hasn’t lost its excitement over the years.
Zeus II
The original Zeus isn’t one we’ve found online, but Zeus II, a deserving sequel, has popped up. With this, the reels grow to 5×4 and has a respin element when a stack of Zeus symbols appears on reel 1. The respin comes out more frequently in the bonus, and with Zeus paying for just two symbols, it doesn’t take much to rack up the wins.
