All aboard, for a wild ride upon Wild Rails slot, a brand new game from the iGaming guru’s at Play’n Go, an online casino software producer famous for unique games and high paying jackpots. A fun-to-play title is added to by a different reel system, as well as a free spins feature that has the potential to award you with a much bigger than expected payout. The Wild Rails express is ready to leave the station, and we suggest that you hop on for a thorough review of what could be coming your way.
Play’n Go, like all software developers, have had a few misses in recent years when creating a theme for a new online slot, however we found this one quite enjoyable. It also received all the attention from the creative team as the graphics are up there with the studios most accomplished titles. The feeling we get is Murder on the Orient Express, with a few questionable looking characters adding to the passenger list. One thing you’ll immediately notice is that the symbols don’t spin downwards but rather sideways. The ends of each row is a train tunnel, and the symbols sit on rails going in one tunnel and coming out the other until they come to a grinding halt.
The most players will be able to win on a single spin is an amazing £243,000.00, which would be more than enough to see you taking a scenic steam engine trip in a carriage of luxury. To win this wonderful amount you’ll need to be wagering at the maximum bet of £90.00 per spin. The betting starts at the very low amount of £0.30 per spin, but it must be mentioned that wins betting at this amount won’t win you large sums. Play’n Go have made Wild Rails online slot available on iOS and Android for mobile play, while tablets also play really well, demonstrating the power of the graphics.
Play’n Go have kept the symbol selection fairly basic, using a standard mix of higher paying and lower paying icons, as well as a couple that will add a little extra coal to the steam engine’s fire. The first is the wild which is identified by its name, and this one substitutes all regular icons to create winning paylines. It can’t, however, substitute the scatter symbol which is the golden steam train, and carries the goods to get you into the bonus feature.
The regular symbols start with playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A which act as icons of a lower value, but will still pay handsomely if wagering high enough. The higher value regular symbols are passengers of the train, consisting of a suspicious man with an eyeglass, a creepy chap holding cards, a blonde dame and a lady holding a fan. The fan lady is the highest paying regular symbol at 1800x your bet.
Just like with the symbols Play’n Go have kept the bonus functionality simple, incorporating a free spins feature to help fill your pockets. However, these free spins can be extended far past the original amount you were awarded to make it feel like the feature never ends.
You’ll need to land 3 of the golden train scatters anywhere on the reels, at which point you’ll be awarded with 5 free spins. However, landing scatter symbols while in the feature will increase the number of spins you are awarded. During our review we got the free spins all the way up to 19, and although playing in free mode generated a superb amount of winnings just through this feature. You’ll also notice that a huge amount of wild icons land during the feature which make wins far easier to accomplish.
Play’n Go have gone the safe route by keeping with the traditional online slots formula of an interactive theme coupled with a reliable bonus feature in the free spins. There is, however, a bit more impetus in this free spins feature, paying more and lasting longer than what you’d find from free spin features in rival titles. The way the rows move is also a nice touch, and adds something fresh for seasoned players. Make sure your bags are packed and your tickets bought, because this train is loaded with cash and ready to leave the station.
