Gold Strike Express Slot Review

About the Game

Wild Symbol

In the Gold Strike Express main game from Blueprint Gaming, Wild symbols can appear anywhere on the reels.

Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except the train, Scatter, and cash prize symbols. If three Wild symbols appear simultaneously on a single reel and form a winning combination, they transform into a Double Wild symbol for a visual effect.

Cash Prize Symbols

Cash prize symbols can appear anywhere on the reels in the main game.

Collect scatter symbols

Scatter symbols can appear anywhere on the reels in the main game, cash, and super spin features.

Train Symbol

Only one train symbol can appear on the reels at a time during the main game and feature wins.

Railroad Track

During each spin, a new set of train cars appears above the reels in the on-screen payout. These cars can carry one of the following prizes:

• Cash prizes from 1x to 500x the bet (main game and win feature)
• Cash prizes from 2x to 500x the bet (Golden Strike Express feature)

Empty train cars with no prizes may appear in the main game. If a scatter symbol appears on one of the reels, the prize from the train car located directly above that reel is awarded (if any).

Cash Prize Win Feature

Locating 6 or more Cash Prize symbols or 5 Cash Prize symbols along with one Train symbol on a reel in the main game triggers the Cash Prize Win feature. The Cash Prize symbols and Train symbol that triggered the feature remain in place for the entire duration. During the Cash Prize feature, only Train symbols, Scatter symbols, or blank symbols can appear on the reels. The player has 3 spins to trigger a new symbol on the reel. Each time a Scatter or Train symbol appears on the reel, it is locked in place, and the spin counter resets to 3. If a Scatter symbol appears on a reel, it transforms into a Cash Prize symbol of the same value as the prize in the train car directly above that reel. The Cash Prize feature continues until all spins are used or all reel positions are filled with non-blank symbols, at which point the player is paid the total amount of all Cash Prize symbols displayed on the reel.

Super Spin Feature

Filling 14 of the 15 reel positions during Cash mode triggers the Super Spin feature, in which only small, large, and large train cars appear on the tracks. During the Super Spin feature, only Scatter and blank symbols can appear on the reels.

Golden Strike Express Feature

A train symbol appearing anywhere on the screen during the cash round triggers the Golden Strike Express feature. The Golden Strike Express feature is only activated after the cash rounds and super spins have been completed and the total winnings have been calculated. Then, the Golden Strike Express trains begin moving along the tracks. Each Golden Strike Express train has a random number of cars with prizes. Up to five Golden Strike Express trains may appear on the tracks before the feature ends and the total value of all prizes is calculated.

Random Modifiers

Any Cash Prize symbols appearing on the reels in the main game are added to the Gold Strike Express logo. During any spin in the main game, the logo may randomly appear, assigning one of the following modifiers:

• Glass Stack – Scatter symbols are added to the reels at the start of a spin.
• Cash Prize Addition – Cash Prize symbols or a Train symbol are added to the reels at the start of a spin.
• Wild Symbol Addition – Wild symbols are added to the reels at the start of a spin.
• Express Spin – At the end of a spin, Cash Prize symbols or a Train symbol are added to the reels, triggering the Cash Prize and Gold Strike Express features.
