Wild Rails

Wild Rails is a train-themed slot and the first to introduce horizontal reels, with a locomotive racing across a 5×4 screen. It was released on July 11, 2019, and you can hop aboard right away in the free demo with no sign-up.

How do the horizontal reels work?

Instead of spinning up and down like a typical slot, the reels move horizontally like a train running along the track. On the 5×4 screen, matching 3 or more of the same symbol along the 30 fixed paylines wins. As the official description says, it’s the first horizontal-reel title among Play’n GO slots, so even the viewpoint feels new. Just changing the perspective makes a familiar slot feel quite fresh.

What does the Wild Train bring in?

The game’s wilds are golden train cars, and the Wild Train carries them across the screen. Since it pulls in several golden cars at once, it can fill all five spots in a row with golden cars. Scenes with Wild Trains running on several rows at the same time can happen too. The train rushing in sweeps across the screen in a satisfying way.

How many spins does Ticket to Free Spins give?

Collect golden train tickets to open Ticket to Free Spins. 3 tickets give 5 spins, 4 give 7, and 5 give 10. The more tickets you collect, the longer the trip is guaranteed to be, so the moment you wait for the remaining reels after spotting the third ticket is the most nerve-racking. Even starting with 3 tickets, trains grow during the free spins, so there’s plenty to look forward to. Remember that the ticket count sets the length of the journey.

What changes in the Wild Rails free spins?

In free spins, at least one Wild Train is guaranteed on every spin, and scatters act as wilds. Each time you collect 3 scatters during the free spins, the number of guaranteed Wild Trains goes up by one. So the screen fills with more and more golden cars as the round goes on. With scatters turning into wilds on top of that, the free spins screen gets quite flashy.

What should I check first in the demo?

RTP is 94.58% and the max win is 5,000x your bet. Bonus buy is not available, so you have to collect the train tickets yourself to open the free spins. There is no official volatility figure, so use the demo to get a feel for how many cars the Wild Train brings in and how much the train count grows late in the free spins. The demo is also good practice for getting used to horizontal reels.
