All Aboard

All Aboard is a game about Casey Jones. For those who hear this name for the first time, he was a legendary train driver and an engineer in the USA at the end of the nineteenth century. He died trying to stop the train and save his passengers. His heroic death made him a hero of popular ballads. But no worries if had no idea who the chap was. For you, he is the driver of our slot train. 

All Aboard has twenty paylines and five reels. Play symbols are railroad crossings, handcars, lanterns, old-styled railway carriages, cars with a horse, water towers, conductors, train whistles and railroad spikes. Apart from regular pay symbols, there are also Wilds that look like steam locomotives, Casey Jones scatter symbols and a Bonus Bell symbol. 

The railroad spike symbol is the highest paid symbol in the general mode of the game. The lowest combination with the spikes is two of a kind in the line. Get two spikes, and double the win. Get five of them per line and your win will go up by 1,600. 

As for the rest of the symbols, you have to get at least three of them in the line to win. Get three Conductor symbols and have your stake multiplied 32 times. Don’t forget that all wins pay left to right except for the Scatters. Scatters pay any. 

Rival Games are widely known for their top game-graphic, tough All Aboard may seem a little below par. But maybe it is intentional, to bring back the good old retro atmosphere. 

Betting is quite regular for such slots. First you chose a payline or several of them, then you make a bet. The maximum wager per line is ten coins. Each coin is worth from 0.01 to 0.25. Thus, the lowest bet per spin equals 0.01, the highest is worth 50 coins. 

The Wild symbol is a steam locomotive and it offers a real treat. It doesn’t only substitute any missing symbol in a combo, it expands to fill in the entire reel. So if there are some winning combinations on any other active paylines and there is a symbol missing, that's your chance. But the Wild only appears on the first and the second reels. On top of that, all the Wild wins are doubled. 

The Casey Jones Scatter symbol triggers the Bonus mode. Get three of those anywhere across the reels, and you get ten free spins and a x2 win multiplier. Four Scatters will award you with twenty free spins and x3 multiplier. But there is more. For five Scatters you will receive forty free spins and your win will be quadrupled. 

There is one more symbol left unmentioned. The Bonus Bell. Get three of them on an active payline and find yourself in a bonus game mode. The All Aboard Bonus game is a variation of a good old pick-me game. In the bonus game a new screen will open, and you will be offered to pick out of nine boxes. Some crates award you with instant cash prizes, others may be empty. You may go on searching the boxes until you find an empty one. If you choose an empty box, you will return to the main game mode. 

What is more there to say about the slot? Everything seems pretty clear. It’s an easy and entertaining game machine from a trusted and well-respected provider. Some gamers might question the quality of the graphic-design, finding it rather lame and off-form. But the bonus modes are above expectations, and Rival can unquestionably credit themselves for those. 

Winning some nice cash prizes also generally stirs excitement among casino regulars. However, the average return from the game is around 95%. Slightly tighter than we all expect. But nonetheless, if you are ready for a win, get aboard before the last blow of the train whistle.
