The most interesting creation of this nature is we human beings. The way we work or take actions can’t be defined. Our every action is output of millions and billions of combinations of actions around the world. And this is what makes our life exciting. This whole thing happens because of one very simple thing that is called evolution. Everything that we humans start loving starts evolving. Be it technology, computers or our online casino games. 243 ways of winning was one of the very first steps of evolution of the online casino games. And yes, you can say 720 ways of winning is its next step.
Mechanism behind 243 ways of winning and 720 ways of winning
Now we all know that the basic slot games were all based upon the payline patterns. Every gambler’s all time favourite fruit machines used to have a number of paylines; it started from as low as 10 and gradually increased to as high as 100 paylines in games like Spartacus and Zeus 100. But it all got faded away in front of new 243 ways of winning.
Now 243 ways of winning and 720 ways of winning pays every time you get 3 or more same symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost to the rightmost reel of the game. Now you must be wondering how these big 243 and 720 ways are calculated. It’s actually very simple.
A game based on 243 ways of winning will always have 5 reels and 3 rows. The number of combinations that can be formed by the visible symbols will be 3 raised to the power of 5. This gives you 243 numbers of combinations that can be formed anywhere in any position. You must be wondering that how it can be possible, as 243 ways restrict you to left to right only. The simple answer to your innocent question is that the Wild symbol balances and makes sure that you get 243 winning possibilities.
On the other hand, a game based on 720 ways of winning has 3-4-5-4-3 reel pattern. This type of formation gives you 3x4x5x4x3 number of possible combinations for the seen 19 symbols at a time. By multiplying all you will get your amazingly cool 720 ways.
Pros and Cons of 243 ways of winning and 720 ways of winning
These two types of ways have lots of benefits. First of all, it makes very easy for us to evaluate our win. In case of payline based games, the player wonders after every spin whether he got a win or not. If yes then how, if not then why. There is no such kind of complication in the games based upon these all-way slots. Because every time you get adjacent symbols, you get paid.
Secondly, placing a bet is very easy in all-way slots. You can place a bet for all ways at once in amazing 720 ways games like Wheel of Fortune, Hexbreaker 2, Pacific Paradise, MegaJackpot Siberian Storm, Prowling Panther and Sumatran Storm and there is no such thing like selecting the number of paylines in these games. Selecting the paylines leaves players disappointed many times in cases when you get a win for a payline that you didn’t bet on. On the other hand, betting for all at once also acts as a disadvantage in all-way slots as it costs you more money than betting on few selected pay lines.
In the end, the choice is yours, whether you like to play a game with 243 ways of winning or 720! Keep gambling and keep winning!
