Play Runaway Train for Free

Trains are not the usual theme of 3 reel slots, let alone runaway ones. Slots software house Saucify has created a solid yet entertaining game based on this – with the tie-in to traditional slots being that the train is loaded up with the (gold) bars. Not only is the reproduction of a mechanical game very realistic, there are chances to win big too. The train symbol is wild, making up wins with any other symbol. If you get 3 of these across any of the 5 win lines, you’ll get a big pay-out, with the top prize 5000 coins for 3 trains on line 5.

The look of this game is dominated by the train graphic across the bottom part of the screen. Above this are the 3 reels. As is usual on most Saucify slots, a lot of care has gone into reproducing the curve and slight ‘bounce’ of the old mechanical games. Top right is a confusing looking grid of trains; this shows the different pay-outs for 3 trains over the 5 different win-lines. Below that is the regular pay table layout.

Sounds are shared with all of the Saucify 3-reel slots and include a distinctive background noise track on a continual loop. This recreates the sound of an old slots hall, complete with laughing, wins from nearby machines and chatter that is too faint to make out. This is a little crazy sounding for me, though I will admit it does add to the authentic feel of the game in its own way. The whirr of the reels, electronic beeps and satisfying ‘clunks’ when the reels stop are all very realistic.

Symbols are dominated by the bars in this game. As a nice touch, instead of being black the bars (single, double and triple) are gold – fitting in with the train coming from a gold-mine theme. Aside from the train, the only other symbol is the red 7’s.
