The style of gameplay in a slot is often just as important as its graphics or presentation, and the Gold Train slot by Pragmatic Play illustrates that in a serious way. This game has been put together using an older format, but it's been handled in a way that gives players a lot of action and a high hit-rate. This leads to a game with a relatively low volatility but a ton of action, which is something most players can enjoy.

Classic Format

The layout of this game is one of the oldest ever used in the slots industry as a whole. It has three reels with three horizontal lines of symbols, and there are three paylines. Each horizontal line gives you one of the three paylines, so it's easy to see exactly what's happening on the reels after any given spin. While this format might turn some players off, if you keep reading, you'll see that it's handled in a way that makes a lot of sense and that provides a lot of action.

Betting is extremely flexible for a game with only three paylines. You can put between one and ten coins on each of those paylines, and those coins can range in value from $0.01 to $0.50 each. At the low end, players can bet as little as $0.03 on each spin, or they can wager as much as $15 on each turn. It's clear that this is a flexible betting scheme that will work for a lot of different players.

Progressive Free Spins Bonus Feature

The free spins feature in this game is based on the train motif, and it works out a little differently than most other free spins modes in terms of how it determines the number of free turns that you get. During regular gameplay, you'll see golden ticket symbols show up occasionally on the last reel. You'll collect these as you play, and they will add between four and ten free spins to what basically amounts to a free spins meter. Whenever you trigger the feature itself, you get to play through all of those free spins.

To actually kick off this feature, you'll need to pick up at least three of the silver scattered ticket symbols on the reels at the same time. To give players even more chances to win during this feature, each golden ticket you pick up during the bonus round itself will add four to ten more free spins onto your total right away. You won't have to wait until the next time you start the bonus feature to play through these, which means you can end up with a ton of free chances to win during the feature.

Wild Gold Train Symbols

This is the Gold Train slot after all, so it makes sense that a golden train would be the wild symbol. This symbol appears on all three reels, and three of a kind gives you a 500x win, which is the largest payout in the game. You can also score 5x for just two of a kind, which will often be a higher payout if you get a three of a kind win on a payline that would be higher than 5x.

There are seven other paying symbols in the game, and this wild substitutes for all of them. The only symbols it will not substitute for are the silver and gold tickets.

Paytable Structure and Prizes

Most three-reel slots only give you payouts for three of a kind wins. In this game, you'll get payouts for most symbols for just two of a kind as well. Three of the lucky sevens pay 30x. You can get 24x for three of the train conductor's hat, and it drops to 20x for three of the flags symbol. Bells are worth 15x for three, and triple bars are worth 10x. The double bars and single bars, which are the only symbols that will not pay for just two of a kind, pay out 8x and 5x, respectively.

It's worth noting that the wild symbols on the first and second reels in particular help out a lot because they make it so much easier to hit two-of-a-kind payouts. All you need is one other symbol to match up to hit these wins when a wild falls.

In Summary

We think the Gold Train slot by Pragmatic Play does a good job in bringing players a different style of play than what they normally get from classic slots. It goes to show that the three-reel titles of the past didn't really get as much excitement as they could have out of the format. It also shows that there is a lot of room left for innovation in all slot formats. Players who like a high hit-rate and a low volatility will find this game very enjoyable.
