Down the Rails Slot

Bojana Djordjevic

Down the Rails slot runs on 5 reels and 20 pay lines that are inspired by the London underground system. The Tube is the world’s first underground railway and in this slot, you will be hitting a couple of the well-known stations while meeting some familiar historical figures. The train is leaving the station soon, all aboard at any Pragmatic Play Casino for real, or here for fun.

How to Play Down the Rails Slot?

• Hit +/- buttons will slide up a panel to help you set your bets by increasing or decreasing either the total bet or the coin value and bet separately. 
• Spin button will get the reels moving.
• Autoplay opens up a panel that lets you choose the number of automated spins and whether and when you want them to end.

Slot Features

Wild symbol in the game can substitute for all the symbols to help form winning combinations, except for the Bonus and feature-specific symbols that can appear. Wild will land on all the reels.

Random Spin Features

During the base game, a batch of random features can get randomly triggered, and these include Tunnel Vision, the Big Smoke, Wild Strike, Shifting Stack and the Bonus Blitz.

Tunnel Vision holds a mystery Tunnel symbol that can appear during this feature, and it will transform all of them into the same paying symbol when it hits the reels. The Big Smoke will randomly add a 3x3 colossal symbol on reels 1 through 4. Wild Strike will add Wild symbols on the random screen positions.

Shifting Stack has a Shifting Stack Wild symbol that gets added to the reels during the feature spin. Once the reels stop all the Wild symbols will cover all the positions on the reel it lands, and can carry a random x2 or x3 multiplier that will apply to all the combos that include them. Bonus Blitz is randomly triggered by the Bonus Blitz feature modifier.

Bonus

When you hit 3 or more Bonus symbols on the same spin, the feature will get triggered, and there is a chance of triggering 1 out of 5 randomly selected features that include Pentonville, Feature Gamble, Kings Cross, Buckingham Palace or the Canary Wharf.

Feature Gamble will let you gamble the won feature for a higher tier one, and if successful, you will proceed to the newly won feature, or gamble further, but if not, you will get only a random money award that ranges between x4 and x24 the bet. It will end when you either reach the Endo of the Line feature or when the gamble is lost.

Pentonville awards 5 spins, and whenever a win cluster is formed the win symbols will get marked and the respin will ensue. At the end, all the marked symbols will add to the cluster, and the feature will end when there are no more cluster wins to form. Kings Cross also awards 5 spins where the middle reels spots are marked in a cross. Each time a Wild hits on any of the marked spots, the symbols in the remaining marked positions will turn Wild.

Buckingham Palace awards 8 spins during which you will be able to see a fully stacked Wild that can expand to cover all positions on the reel regardless of whether it lands full or partial. When this happens, all the character symbols will transform into the highest-paying symbol. Canary Wharf will also allow 8 spins with the Collect symbol that will appear on random spins to collect the randomly assigned values that range between x1 and x50 the bet.

End of the Line

This is the Hold & Respin feature that plays on a 3x5 grid that can expand up to 5x5 during the feature. The round will start with 3 respins and whenever special symbols hit they will reset the respins count back to 3. Money symbols come with a randomly assigned value between x1 and x2500 the bet. The feature ends when you run out of respins, but there are some special symbols involved to help you make the best of it.

You can hit the Extra Life symbol that will get collected to the meter and once you collect 3 you will get an extra life that will reset the counter back to 3 when you reach 0. Prize Boost will collect all the Money symbol values from the screen when you collect 3 of them. Expand will add 1 extra row for every 3 symbols collected. Multiplier will increase progressively from x2 to x3 and then x5 for every 3 symbols collected in the meter during the round.

Summary

Down the Rails has really decent and more than acceptable audiovisuals included. In terms of features, it is jam-packed with lots of interesting features and modifiers that will help you attain the max cap of x5000 the bet at high volatility with 96.51% RTP.
