Railway King Slot Machine
Being the king of the road is all well and good, but being a king of the tracks is where it’s at with Railway King, a 5-reel, 9-win-line slot machine that is the ideal escape for all train enthusiasts.
This striking theme is one from Spade Gaming’s more classic offerings, which means that it looks less shiny and new when compared with some of their fancier titles, such as Master Chef. Although arguably not as attractive, this means that players who prefer a less intense theme will feel at ease when navigating the user interface.
Trainspotting was all the rage well before the film was released, and so those of us who have been frequenting stations across the globe, will find that this title satisfies our need to be close to these history worn modes of transport. They’re based, loosely, on trains we might find in many a station, but they’ve been turned into toy-like representations. Think of Railway King as your personalized railway track, only this doesn’t need to be tucked away in an attic out of sight.
All Aboard!
After collecting your trains, you need to make your way to the train and start the tedious process of finding an available seat, unless you’ve be smart and reserved ahead of your trip. You’re the type of person we aspire to be like… which probably means you’ll have no trouble selecting a bet that is within your budget.
Spade Gaming has provided an inexpensive starting point that most customers will be able to afford: 0.01 worth of coins, one of each placed on the 9 win lines. All you need to do is find the ‘Denomination’ display and accompanying buttons, and you can begin to increase the worth of the coins you play. This amount can be increased up to 20 credits.
Following on from this, the number of coins can be increased also (if the option is available in the game, we played the demo mode and it wasn’t accessible).
The Auto play options can begin very slowly, with only a 5 rounds option to ease players in, or you can have the reels rolling automatically for an infinite number of rounds. If it’s unlikely you’ll want to be clicking and manually spinning any time soon, then go for the highest number of games and let Spade Gaming’s software do everything for you. Be a bit lazy, you’ve earned it.
Should players want to choo choo along at a fast pace, leaving behind nothing but plumes of steam as they power on by, there’s the ‘Fast Spin’ option ready and waiting to be activated. This will up the pace and make everything a tad faster, not you’ll have to worry about being flung back in your seats, going at the speed of sound during your play through; even Spade Gaming hasn’t managed to harness that type of energy just yet.
Tickets, Please
You know what’s better than free spins? Infinite free spins. That is what you can get when you trigger the bonus round in Railway King. Basically, the brand likes gifting boundless rewards and options to you, whenever possible – first the automatic spins and now this!
To start off this delightfully enthralling process, you will need to locate over three bonus icons on the fifth or first reel, which will then lead to you selecting one of three trains. Whichever one you champion will reveal a specific number of free waves, followed by you then having to decide which tunnel your chosen train ventures down.
By completing this final task, you will be granted a random multiplier. Even when you’ve entered the re-triggered spins, the multiplier will still remain, meaning your bucks can soon be making their way up to the heavens with that final total.
King of the Tracks
We love being the king when we play this slot machine, you just get a buzz from it that you can’t get from cars, be that virtual ones or otherwise. Railway King lets us man several trains, play a carriage full of extra rounds, and the possibility of taking home the king of all prizes in the form a 10,000 credit jackpot.
The graphics may not be as crystal clear and as refined as some would like, but at this point it’s neither here nor there; a gaming experience goes beyond what you can see, it’s about what you feel. With Railway King, you feel a lot.
