Wild Rails from Play'N GO

Wild Rails is a Game Changer

Superlatives are often ten-a-penny in the online casino world, but Wild Rails from Play’n GO is a brand-new slot which deserves as many as you can think of. The game is innovative, unique, gorgeous to look at, exquisitely executed and one of the best releases of the year thus far. We aren’t the only ones who think so, either. The game was very warmly received by industry attendees when it was unveiled at the World Gaming Executive Summit 2019 in Barcelona at the beginning of July, and the response from players who are discovering the title now that it is live at casinos is equally enthusiastic.

Return to the Golden Age of Locomotives

Wild Rails is a game which recreates the golden age of locomotives, and the first thing that will strike you about it is the stunning visual presentation. The game takes place on a railway track which spans a canyon, and the background gives you a stunning sidelong view of that track in all of its nostalgic glory.

The game technically has five reels and four rows, but the second thing that you will notice – although perhaps only when you actually start playing – is that the action scrolls horizontally, rather than vertically as in most other slots. This makes the symbols travel from left to right across railway tracks, like the carriages of a train.

The symbols themselves are beautifully designed to enhance that illusion. The most iconic symbol here is the golden WILD train carriage, which serves much as you would expect a wild to. However, an entire Wild Train can also appear, and it is possible to have as many as four of those trains on the reels at the same time, which would obviously be something to get very excited about.

Apart from the golden WILD train carriage, other symbols used in Wild Rails include a golden train scatter, four different passengers dressed in their finery and the lower-value playing card ranks of 10, J, Q, K and A, all of which are cleverly presented as items of cargo.

The soundtrack in this game is a gentle classical piece with a subtle locomotive rhythm, and you will hear the sound of the trains on the tracks every time you spin. Also, be sure to look out for the various discrete animations that are present, such as the smoke of the trains as they pass by the screen, the birds flying over the canyon in the background, and so on.

Wild Rails Free Spins

When you get three, four or five golden train scatter symbols on the reels at the same time, you will trigger a Free Spins round. This will award you five, seven or ten free spins, according to how many scatters triggered the feature. However many free spins you win, you are guaranteed one Wild Train on every spin, and an additional Wild Train and free spin will be added every time to get three more scatters on the reels. Should you collect four Wild Trains, you will get an additional three free spins and can receive even more by collecting more scatters.

On Track for Success

‘As a company, we love trying out new concepts and ideas,’ said Johan Törnqvist, who is CEO at Play’n GO. ‘We’re currently on track for our most successful year ever, and it is innovative games, like Wild Rails, that are going to continue that track and lead us into the future!’
