Play Gold Rush Express

While many gold mining-inspired casino games focus on pickaxes, hard hats, and rocks, the Gold Rush Express slot takes a slightly different approach. A solid gold train appears at the top of the screen, hauling a carriage full of nuggets with it, while a wooden bridge and mountains make up the rest of the background. It's worth mentioning that this train is animated and can move off-screen, allowing others to enter when specific bonus features are triggered.  

Gold Rush Express also comes with various locomotive sound effects, with the minimum stake size sitting at 0.20 per spin. As for the board layout, it features a total of 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 fixed paylines.  

This online casino game was created by Area Vegas, a small provider dedicated to releasing slots that exceed the expectations of players. Since its inception, Area Vegas has consistently been pushing the boundaries with its titles, which is evident when looking through its portfolio. Some of their standout games include Area Cash Heist, Bullet Train Bandits, and 5 On the Farm!

While the appearance in Gold Rush Express is rather modern, the symbols all focus on traditional aspects of mining-themed slots:  

Players can also find an array of scatter icons in this release, including a bell, a train made of gold, and sticks of dynamite. There are also four different coloured trains, each of which has its own bonus features, alongside fixed value symbols, shown as golden nuggets. Last but not least is the wild, displayed as the logo for the game, which can replace any standard or premium symbol.

All of the aforementioned scatter icons are linked to one of the three different bonus features in Gold Rush Express.  

Rush Express  

All four of the different coloured trains, which are shown in green, blue, purple, and red variations, alongside the fixed value golden nuggets, can be collected by either the bell icon or the golden train symbol. These collect symbols appear exclusively on reel 5.  

If golden nuggets are collected by the bell, the corresponding values on them will be totalled up and awarded to the player. Adversely, if one of the four trains appears at the same time as a bell, it will appear above the board, with each carriage awarding a fixed value based on the stake size. The final carriage can award a multiplier that will either display a multiplier or the jackpot of the corresponding colour.  

Should a multiplier appear, it will be applied to all potential winnings from the same train. As for the different jackpots, the green, blue, purple, and red trains can award the Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand jackpot, which sit at 20x, 50x, 500x, or 5,000x, in that order.  

It's also worth mentioning that if the symbols are collected by the golden train icon, the process is almost identical. However, all potential winnings will be multiplied by up to 10x before they're awarded.   

Free Spins Mode   

Landing three or more dynamite scatter icons will trigger the free spins round in Gold Rush Express. Players will start with 10 spins and the 'Rush Express' feature can trigger more often throughout the round.  

Jackpot Round  

If fixed value gold nuggets or train symbols appear without being collected, the jackpot round has a chance to activate. Should it trigger, 12 golden nuggets will appear on the screen with players being promoted to pick one.  

Each golden nugget will reveal one of the four jackpots and when 3 of the same are found, the corresponding potential winnings will be awarded. Players will then come back to the base game.  

You can find a wide range of other mining-inspired slots in our catalogue, with titles such as Heist for the Golden Nuggets, Miner Donkey Trouble, and Dynamite Digger Eureka standing out from the crowd!
