Slot Review: 5 Reel Drive

It’s a sad fact that drive-in movies are almost extinct in American culture today. This unique idea first shot to popularity during the Fifties, when the widespread trend of automobile ownership meant that many folks had four wheel and very few places to go! Everyone loves the movies, so some brilliant person decided to marry the two. Drive-in movies offer the latest features, experienced from the comforts and privacy of one’s own vehicle. The 5 Reel Drive online slot game pays homage to this lost experience, with colorful graphics and lots of fun!

5 Reel Drive is a five-reel, nine-payline video slot machine title from the casino software wizards at Microgaming. Coin values range from ten cents to ten dollars, with max coins set at nine. As is the case with virtually all Microgaming slots, you must bet the max coins (at any denomination) to have a shot at the top jackpot! Considering that the prize is a steep and satisfying ten thousand coins, we doubt that you’ll want to miss this one! At ten bucks a coin, that’s one hundred thousand dollars!

The images on the reels of this online slot game are pictures of teenagers, truckers, and some yummy-looking fast food, the likes of which you would get from a drive-in food court. The police car, hilariously, is the scatter symbol. (Get it? Because it makes the kids scatter!) The Winding Road is wild. There was a definite “feel” of fun when playing this game that tied in well to the theme of movies and mild juvenile delinquency. We liked this one, and think you will as well!
