Online gambling software developer Rival Gaming’s latest game release has a theme based on the steam-driven railroads of yesteryear, delivered with up-to-the-minute 21st century computer technology.
All Aboard is a 5 reel, 20 pay-line video slot in which players can wager up to 10 coins per pay-line in denominations from as low as 1c all the way up to 25c.
The well proven i-slot software is backed by colourful cartoon-style graphics depicting the famous engine driver Casey Jones, a vintage steam engine that is appropriately an expanding Wild, and a warning bell which heralds the bonus feature. Other ancillary elements of the age of steam trains include a jovial stationmaster, rail crossings, water tanks and steam whistles.
Enhancing the theme is a realistic set of sound effects which integrate with various aspects of the game; for example the sound of the reels spinning has been replaced with the characteristic chuffing sound effect of the steam engines of yore. Animations relevant to the theme appearing across the screen at key points also add an entertaining dynamic for the player.
Three of All Aboard’s Scatters trigger 10 free spins with a 2x multiplier; four will award the player with 20 free spins at 3x multiplier and five deliver a generous 40 free spins with a 5x multiplier.
Three or more of the bell symbol initiates an interactive bonus round in which the player searches through freight cars looking for credits, an opportunity which ends the moment an empty car is encountered.
