Wild West Express Slot Review & Free Play

Wild West Express: Go Train Robbing For up to 2,000x Jackpots

Novomatic is back with another old west ballad with steam engines carrying golden jackpots up to 2,000x your bet. The Wild West Express slot not only flaunts its trains but also brings respins, sticky wilds, wild multipliers, free spins, and a lock-it feature all to help you get closer to that 5,000x max win. I had the strangest case of deja vu even before I started playing, but here’s what I think of the game.

We start with the familiar five-reel and three-row setup powered by 10 win lines. Symbol pays also remain pretty reserved, with the lowest paying symbol getting you 0.20x for three matches, and the highest paying gold pile symbol bringing up to 10x returns over your bet. As is tradition, this setup got me between 0.20x to 1.20x returns for lower symbol combinations every three to five spins.

What struck me most here was the wild that could land anywhere except the first reel. The game was pretty generous with them, often dropping them every two spins, which helped me push some wins up to 4x my bet.

After a while, the train got impatient and dropped five bonus symbols to let me trigger the lock and win mini-game instantly. The round starts with six spins, and our goal is to land more trian symbols, which transform into cash symbols at the end of the round. I had almost half the screen covered with them by the time the round ended, but I only managed a 9.90x payout.

Scatters were the missing link, and no matter how long I spun those reels, I never saw more than one scatter. Just for perspective, my session was about an hour long. The round sounds promising with up to 5x sticky wild multipliers, but then again, the lock and win bonus had the potential for up to 1,000x jackpots, and I never saw them.

The Wild West Express slot by Novomatic is a pretty safe entry with nothing special to root for. The bonus game payouts are pretty subpar, and triggering them takes way too long to bother, in my opinion. I’d suggest checking out other Novomatic slots below for a better experience.
