The short answer would be – there is a time and a place for both. It also largely depends on your personal taste and goals from a game session. If you’re looking for excitement, better win potential and more features (free spins, multipliers, wilds, scatters, cascading reels), then your best bet is to go for a modern slot. However, if you want to relax with the classics and are nostalgic for a simple reel construction without anything too flashy, look into fruity slots from EGT or Novomatic.
