Play Dollar Express for Free

Back in the day, a train was a gold mine for a good old-fashioned stick up. The thing is, only the most wealthy in society could afford the life of travel and leisure and trains were the primary mode of transport for valuable goods and money. All in all, there was usually a lot of money on a steam train back in the day and some of the most famous train robbers include Butch Cassidy and Jesse James. If those bandits were to chase down and hop on board a modern day train, they'll probably find nothing more than an scrappy old Metro newspaper and a half-finished KFC bucket. And the robbers wouldn't get much from the travellers either since they have already been robbed by the price of a ticket!

This Xplosive Slots slot machine captures the action of a train robbery with 5 reels that are ablaze with peril and excitement. The 5 reels are set in front old steam train riding through a wall of fire with symbols that include whiskey, pistols and dynamite. Other icons reveal why it's all worthwhile with golden ingots and sacks of cash. All in all, the game is very well designed with its fiery appearance and 3D animations.

With 243 ways to win, punters might well be thinking that the prizes in this game are begging to be stolen. In actual fact, the medium volatility slot doesn't exactly throw prizes away and, when it does, they won't exactly be of the highest value when compared to other slot machines online. The biggest prize in the game is a 50x total bet multiplier that will be awarded whenever five “Dollar Express” scatter symbols appear on adjacent reels. After that, players will find a 40x total bet prize for five gold bar symbols, 30x for five sticks of dynamite or sacks of cash on consecutive reels.

Since there aren't any defined paylines in play in the game, players will be offered a set of total bet options that ranges from the minimum of 0.50 to 25.00 credits. Admittedly, the max bet in the game is not quite as daring as the theme since it limits players to a top jackpot haul of 1,250 credits. If punters are unsatisfied with the size of the prize, they can take matters into their own hands by playing the 50/50 card gamble feature for the chance to double the winnings from the previous spin.

The scatter icon in this game is not only valuable in terms of payouts, but it is also useful when it comes to bonus gameplay. That is because the logo icon will trigger a round of free spins whenever three appear on reels 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously. Before the free spins begin, punters will be allowed to effectively determine the volatility of the feature by choosing the quantity against the potential value of wild multipliers.

Here are the options: 25 free games with x2, x3 and x5 multipliers, 20 free games with x3, x5 and x8 multipliers, 15 free games with x5, x8 and x10 multipliers, 13 free games with x8, x10 and x15 multipliers and 10 free games with x10, x15 and x30 multipliers. Not only that but a whiskey symbol on reels 1 and 5 on any free game spin will award a total bet prize worth x2, x5, x10, x15 or x20.

While there are plenty of Wild Wild West slot machines online – Dead or Alive by NetEnt, High Noon by Nucleus Gaming and Heart of the Frontier by Ash Gaming spring to mind – there haven't been too many games which focus specifically on a thrill of a train robbery. Then again, there is the recent release from NetEnt which goes by the train-length name of Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist. Blueprint Gaming's Amigo's Gold also has a train robbery bonus feature.

There aren't many slot machines out there which glorify criminal activity, but those which do always make a bit of nefarious behaviour seem like good fun. Luckily Space Lilly Casino hosts this stunning slot, Dollar Express is a unique train robbery narrative which is filled with thrills thanks to its 243-way pay system and free spins with wild multipliers. Sadly, however, the game's low wagering limit does make it a bit of a bad lead for spinners who are after huge prize returns.
