Christmas Rush Express Slot Review

There are exactly 13 days until Christmas🎄 as I write this review for Rush Express slot🎰 from Quickfire. I live far away from any major city so Christmas shopping is a tad complicated.

Shopping malls are not something you find easily here🤷.

The closest town proper is an hour’s drive🚙 away. And to get to a real city takes over 5 hours to drive to. I could drive for an hour, sit on a plane🛫 for an hour, and be in a city after another hour from the airport, but it's a helluva shopping trip🛍️.

What I’m getting at is, I have to order gifts online💻 far enough ahead of time that they will still get delivered in a week or 2.

The only problem is that my wife shops online too. She went and ordered herself the same thing I got her for Christmas🤦. It arrived a week after my gift arrived and was safely hidden in my side of the garage.

I didn’t know this of course, so when I walked down stairs to see an identical box sitting by the front door, I started shouting asking who had dared to bring in the box and reveal my wife’s surprise Christmas gift🙄.

Now there is no time to order a new gift for her😡. And she has 2 of the same god damn thing. Needless to say, I told her I’m not buying her anything without her explicit instruction from now on.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.45% and is rated as having high volatility. You play on 5 reels, 4 rows, and 20 paylines to land winning combinations.

This is unfortunately only playable with fiat currencies with the exception of the Japanese yen and Russian ruble. You can bet as low as $0.20 and as high as $50, with plenty of betting options in between.

If you do play with the highest bet and manage to hit the game’s highest possible multiplier of 5,000x, you can win the biggest possible prize of $250,000.

On the reels, you’ll see high symbols include, a teddy bear, a sleigh, an elf hat, a gingerbread man, and a candy cane.

The Wild symbol is a Christmas tree that can stand in for any pay symbol to complete a payline with the exception of the Scatter, Rush Express, Bell, and Gold Train symbols.

The Scatter is a snow globe that can award 10 Free Spins if you land 3 at once. The Rush Express symbols only land on reels 1 to 4 and are a red, purple, blue, and green locomotive, plus a gold Present symbol.

The Bell and Gold Train symbols only appear on reel 5 and trigger the Rush Express Feature if at least one of the aforementioned Rush Express symbols land at the same time.

Features

FREE SPINS

Free Spins are played at the same bet level as when they were triggered. You can unfortunately not win any additional Free Spins during this feature, although the Rush Express feature triggers more frequently than in the base game.

When this feature is triggered by the Bell symbol, all Rush Express symbols on the reels are awarded.

If the Gold Train triggers this feature, then all the Rush Express symbols on the reels are collected to the gold train sitting over the reels, and the sum total of the collected prize can be awarded up to 10 times randomly.

The color of the locomotive Rush Express symbol can award a multiplier to the final prize or award one of the corresponding colour Jackpot. The green, blue, purple, and red locomotive symbols award the Mini, Minor, Major and Grand Jackpot, respectively.

• The Minor Jackpot awards 100x your bet.

Maximum Win

Bets range from $0.20 to $50, and the 5,000x top multiplier can award the game’s highest win of $250,000.

Conclusion

It seems like Crazy Tooth Studio struck a deal to use Quickfire Game’s Rush Express feature for this Christmas-themed train slot. That is to say that this is essentially a reskin of much older games.

I wasn’t a fan of the series when it was in the hands of it’s original makers, and I can’t say I hold this title in much higher regard. Although, I suppose the game does integrate the Christmas, and old train motifs better than some would.

The base game would be extremely dull if it weren’t for the Express Rush feature, that can return some pretty decent rewards if you’re lucky. You can only ever win 10 Free Spins at a time, although it is somewhat saved again by the Express Rush feature.

The game claims the Express Rush feature triggers more often than in the base game, but that doesn’t mean it will trigger every spin. You would have to have the luck of the all the Irish, and a boat load of your own on top of that, for that to happen.
