A change from the usual 5-reel slots, we now come to a 3-reel slot game called Vacation Station, still available at Playtech casinos. Why I mentioned 'still available' is because quite a number of old less-popular slot games have been removed and replaced with newer games. The better ones, like Chinese Kitchen and Golden Tour for example, are still being retained, perhaps for a limited time frame only, who knows. Newer and better games are constantly being introduced, so sooner or later, the less popular ones would have to make way for newcomers. It would be quite pointless to retain low-revenue games when new ones would certainly generate a refreshing influx of revenue. Everyone would be curious to try them out, that's for sure! ;)
Vacation Station is an 8-paylines 3-reels slot game from decades ago, so looking at it now would not start the adrenaline flowing. Probably just a "hmmm..." True enough, the graphics are very simplistic, with simple colour tones for each symbol, and easy on the eyes, both vision-wise and playing-wise. Symbols for the game start with a bus, followed by a train, motorcycle, car, submarine (does anybody actually go on a vacation in a submarine? :D), balloon, sailing boat, ship and of course a plane. It's just a tiny plane...but who cares! This is a tiny game anyhow! No jumbo planes needed...no jumbo wins either! Hehehe. The top three symbols, the sailing boat, ship and plane, pays 1500x, 2250x and 4000x the line bet respectively for their 3-of-a-kinds on maximum play. Yes...there can only be 3-of-a-kinds in this 3-reels game, so getting that maximum payout for any symbol isn't that difficult at all! Maximum play is playing all 8 lines and betting 3 coins per line, but players have the option to play 1 to 3 coins per line, with a maximum bet of $5 per line, or $120 maximum total bet. Playing 3 coins at $5 per line ($120 total bet) can bring in surprisingly big amounts on cash. The plane, for example, would pay 4000x $15 ($5 x 3 coins), which equates to $60,000, whilst the ship would pay $33,750! High rollers would love this game because 3-of-a-kind is no big deal...and is in fact a lot easier to get than 5-of-a-kind! Think about that! ;)
On top of all those symbols, there is also a scatter symbol...taaadaaa!!! :D No, you don't get free spins with the scatters, just good old hard cash! 4 scatters anywhere on the reels pay 2x the total bet, 5 scatters at 10x, and all the way to 8 scatters at 500x and 9 scatters at 1000x total bet! Calculation again...click...clickety click...click...WHOOOOA!...$120,000 for getting all 9 scatters at $120 total bet!!! That's already a small jackpot win...and one which is far far more easier to get than any million dollar jackpot! Me? Oooops! No, I have never won that jackpot yet...cos I don't play the game that much, so how to get??? :D Yep! Vacation Station is an entertaining game. Simple, but fun! I once got 3 planes at $0.10 bet per line, got paid $400 for it, and I already went "Woooow!!!" Hehehe. But after that, the plane flew away! Hahahaha. You haven't tried this game yet? You are missing your "Wow"s my friend! :)
