Loot The Train!

Loot The Train! Review

Relax Gaming have recorded a lot of success with their Money Train series, which even already had its third installment in Money Train 3 at the time of writing. It’s no wonder, then, that Mascot Gaming decided to draw some inspiration from their exploits. The slot that we now have in front of us is called Loot the Train!, and it does its best to remind you of the Money Train slots without directly copying them. So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at what’s on offer here, starting with the game’s playing field. It consists of 5 reels, 4 rows and 20 betways, so it’s quite classic.

The Wild West theme is in full swing in Loot the Train!, and we most certainly have to applaud the slot’s designers for how it all looks and sounds. The graphics are stylish and detailed, and it all feels alive as well, mainly due to the fact that the playing field is located in an animated carriage that’s moving forward at all times. All in all, Loot the Train! deserves top marks in this regard!

Loot the Train! Slot – Reels Screen

The mathematical model of Loot the Train! comes with a high volatility level, though its hit frequency is also high at 38.80%. There’s no official info about the slot’s jackpot, but big wins are certainly possible. The least that you can play for is then £0.20, while the slot’s max bet is £10. That’s nothing for high rollers, but we reckon that most players won’t care one bit. Unfortunately, the theoretical RTP of Loot the Train! is well below average, clocking in at just 95.02%.

Loot the Train! Slot Features

There are 10 pay symbols in Loot the Train!, and you can look forward to 5 low-paying symbols and 5 high-paying symbols. The low-paying symbols are just card ranks from Tens to Aces, and they can net you wins of up to 5x your bet at best. The high-paying symbols are thematic, on the other hand, and show pistols and four character symbols. Female characters are worth the most here, and a set of five female outlaws will net you a sweet payout worth 75x your bet.

The base game of Loot the Train! offers three special symbols - Wanted Poster Wilds, Safe Bonus symbols and Gold Bonus symbols. Wanted Poster Wilds are just classic Wilds that substitute for other symbols in winning combos, while the two Bonus symbols are there to trigger the all-important Bonus Game.

Loot the Train! Slot – Bonus Game

To get to the Bonus Game, you have to find at least 3 Bonus symbols, and they will actually transform over to the actual feature by staying on the board. The Bonus Game itself is essentially a Hold and Win feature of sorts, and you’ll start it with 3 respins. Each new symbol that lands automatically resets the counter back to 3, and there are plenty of special symbols that you can find here.

Safe Bonus symbols are Multiplier symbols that add to your total win, while Gold Bonus symbols work as Super Multiplier symbols of a higher value. The two top-paying symbols then work as Modifier and Upgrade symbols. Modifier symbols improve your overall win multiplier, while Upgrade symbols increase the capacity of your respins tally +1. You can improve your respins tally capacity to 5 respins this way – after that, all Upgrade symbols will work as Modifier symbols instead.

If you manage to fill the entire board with symbols during the Bonus Game, it will end and use the remaining number of respins as Modifier symbols, boosting your win even further.

Finally, there’s the Risk ‘n’ Buy feature that you can use in order to skip the wait for the Bonus Game. You can use it after any spin, and you can decrease its price by the spin’s payout.

Review Summary

At the end of the day, Loot the Train! is an intriguing Wild West slot that looks excellent and plays well, though it doesn’t quite reach the heights of the Money Train series. If you’re up for something similar or if you’ve already had your fill of those games, you should certainly check it out – its only objective minus is its subpar RTP that’s almost a full percentage point below the 96% industry average.
