Loot the Train Slot Review
When I think of train robberies (which ain’t often, I must admit), I always imagine a bunch of outlaws on slavering horses chasing down their coal-powered adversary. Or maybe the outlaws are sitting in ambush, having shifted one of the lines so the train will derail.
In 1924, the Newton Gang were like: “Hell no; that sounds like too much work.” They traded in their horses for fast cars and even used homemade tear gas bombs (made with formaldehyde) to deal with any resistance. Now that’s innovation at work!
Let’s see how forward-thinking Loot the Train slot is from Mascot.
Gameplay
If your eyesight ain’t what it used to be, do I have a game for you! Loot the Train slot’s 5-reel grid is one of the biggest in the business. The reels form the coach of a train that’s rolling on the tracks in perpetuity.
Portrait mode isn’t the one I’d opt for if you wanna play on the go. Landscape is the shizzle, and it perfectly mirrors the view you’ll see on larger screens. When it comes to mobile play, this might be the slot to rule them all!
There are 20 paylines on this game that sadly only offers an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. of 95.02% (96% is the industry standard). The volatility rate has been set to high, though, and that means a max win worth €282,000.
The last bit of good news is that there are no currency limitations on this game, so go ahead and do your thang however you like.
Features
The Wild is a wanted poster, and this symbol replaces all other symbols except for the Scatter.
BONUS ROUND:
Bonus symbols unlock the Bonus game, but you’ll need at least 3 of them to kick it off.
You’ll be gifted 3 spins at the start of the feature, and you can re-trigger these by adding more Bonus symbols to the grid.
The Hold & Win style round plays out on a new set of reels with only the Bonus symbols appearing. As the new Bonus symbols land, they’ll bring multipliers with them that will be added to your overall win multiplier.
The bag of cash Bonus is a super multiplier Bonus, while the redhead cowgirl modifies the total win multiplier. As for the Native American babe, she’s an upgrade modifier and increases the number of Bonus spins by a factor of 1 (to a max of 5).
Now the question remains: what happens if you land winning symbols on all the open spaces during the Bonus game? If the spins haven’t all been used up, then the Bonus game ends (ironically), and the remaining spins will be used as a modifier.
RISK’N’BUY FEATURE:
This will be offered to you during the base game after each spin, and it doesn’t even matter if you’ve won or not.
The upshot is that you can either risk your current winnings and go straight to the Bonus game, or you can buy your way in for 60x your current bet.
Performance
This train chugged along through hundreds of spins, and wouldn’t you know it, it was more reliable than electricity in South Africa (Google it; you’ll see that we’ve had power outages since 2008!).
I tried this slot out on all my devices as well as on Safari and Chrome. It was glitch-free, so you shouldn’t have any problems while playing.
Maximum Win
Here’s a prime example of how game studios should set up their slots. Instead of burdening players with having to carry the cost of playing at the max bet (which arguably does allow for a more robust spread), how about jacking up the multiplier?
In Loot the Train slot, the max multiplier is the craziest, and most generous one I’ve seen in a long time: 70,500x! It means that you only need to bet at €4 (betting starts at €0.20), which is how it should be! But do remember that across 20 paylines, it can still get pricey.
And I almost forgot to mention once again that the max win in this game is a saliva-inducing €282,000.
Conclusion
I found that Loot the Train slot grew old very quickly. With only the Bonus round to offer entertainment and a better shot at bagging the big bucks, it became seriously same-same and that’s when I started drifting off.
Having said that, it’s a brilliant option for mobile play, as it looks amazeballs, and the simplicity means you’ll be able to keep track of what’s going on. Personally, I just wasn’t feeling it.
