Review: Greatest Train Robbery Online Slot by Red Tiger Gaming

Raid the online casino vaults with Red Tiger Gaming’s new The Greatest Train Robbery Slot.

How many movies and books have been written about the seemingly impossible (but fictitiously feasible) task of robbing a casino’s cash vaults? Aside from banks, where else would you expect to find such a colossal amount of money sitting around? And as such, you can expect Fort Knox security surrounding the property.

No, raiding the casino vault is not a plausible way to break the house bank. If you want to get your hands on any of that cash, you’ll need enough luck to win it. On the other hand, the daredevil bibliophile within so many of us would love to imagine undertaking such an adventure. What if you could do both – enjoy the virtual experience of robbing your way to fortunes, without committing any crimes, and still having a shot at walking away with all that wealth?

I’d like to imagine that was the creative genius behind Red Tiger Gaming‘s latest creation, The Greatest Train Robbery Online Slot. Or not. Maybe my own mind took the story a lot farther than their development team, who simply wanted to build a slot machine with a train theme, and integrate a common desire to match the popularity of Microgaming‘s famous Break Da Bank slots series.

Whatever the case may be, the crew over at Red Tiger did a pretty good job of building this new game. It’s got fantastic graphics and a comical old-west motif that many players are sure to find enjoyable. Built in HTML5, it’s compatible with all major desktop and mobile operating systems. As of last month, players can find it at all Red Tiger online casinos.

The Greatest Train Robbery Slot Review

The Greatest Train Robbery is a 5×4, 40 line slot machine that features a trio of bandits looking to rob the rails. Each reel is a railroad track with train cars traveling southward with each spin. The symbols include a fiery wild, gold bars, silver coins, large emeralds, and sacks of smaller emeralds, plus A, K, Q, J and 10.

Most symbols pay for 3 or more on a line, starting left to right. Wilds necessitate 5 on a line to pay the game’s largest prize, while gold bars can pay for as little as 2 on a line. Landing 3 or more gold cart bonus symbols on the reels will trigger free games.

When this triggers, all three of the bandits will appear to help steal the gold, and with the opening of each bonus cart, a number is revealed. The combined sum of those numbers is the amount of free spins won. During the free games, the bandits can randomly awards extra free spins to keep the feature rolling.

Random Bandit Features

Throughout the base game, any one or more of the bandits can appear on the reels at random. When this happens, the feature of the corresponding bandit (or bandits) will be triggered. They include:

Winning Respin: This bandit’s dynamite will explode on the reels, causing 2 or more to re-spin for a guaranteed win.

Mystery Symbols: This bandit’s dynamite explosion induces heavy amounts of smoke, which can spread across 2 or more reels. When the dust clears, all smoke-covered symbols will have transformed into the same random symbol, guaranteeing a payout.

Cloning Wilds: When the masked bandit’s dynamite hits the rails, it starts a fire than can spread to 2 or more reels, turning all burning positions into a flaming inferno of wilds.
