Game Overview

Down the Rails is a high volatility slot game. All symbols pay from left to right on selected paylines. Respin wins are added to payline wins and all wins are multiplied by the bet per line. Only the highest win per line is paid, and all values are shown as actual wins in coins. The RTP value is shown in-game.

Symbols and Payouts

• Character and face card symbols pay for combinations of 3 or more, according to the paytable.
• The BONUS symbol activates bonus features when 3 or more appear.
• The WILD symbol substitutes for all symbols except BONUS and certain special symbols.

Random Spin Features

During the base game, the following features can trigger randomly:

• Tunnel Vision: Mystery symbols land and transform into the same paying symbol.
• The Big Smoke: Adds a 3×3 colossal symbol to the reels, which may trigger wins or the bonus.
• Wild Strike: Wild symbols are added to random positions.
• Shifting Stack: Shifting stack wilds cover entire reels with potential multipliers of x2 or x3.
• Bonus Blitz: Triggers the bonus round modifier randomly.

Bonus Features

Triggering Bonus

Three or more BONUS symbols activate a bonus feature or the “End of the Line” round. One of five possible features is selected randomly before the round starts.

Feature Gamble

After a feature is awarded, players can choose to play the current feature or gamble for a higher tier. If the gamble is lost, a direct money prize between 4x and 24x total bet is awarded instead. The gamble ends if a feature is collected or if a gamble is lost.

Bonus Rounds

• Pentonville: Awards 5 free spins with cluster wins and respins on new symbol combinations. Cannot be retriggered.
• Kings Cross: Awards 5 free spins. Wilds landing in marked spots expand into crosses of wilds. Cannot be retriggered.
• Buckingham Palace: Awards 8 free spins. A fully stacked vertical wild moves up or down to cover the reel, transforming character symbols. Cannot be retriggered.
• Canary Wharf: Awards 8 free spins. Random money values appear and can be collected by a collect symbol. Cannot be retriggered.

End of the Line Feature

A hold and respin round starts on a grid (initially 3×5) with possible expansion to 5×5. The round begins with 3 respins. Special symbols land and, each time one lands, the respin counter resets to 3.

Available Symbols:

• Money Symbols: Carry a random value from 1x to 2500x total bet.
• Extra Life: Collect 3 to gain an additional respin.
• Prize Boost: Collect 3 to upgrade all money symbols to the next highest value.
• Expand: Collect 3 to unlock an additional row (up to 5×5 grid).
• Multiplier: Collect 3 to apply multipliers of 2x, then 3x, then 5x, to all winnings at the end of the round.

The round ends when no respins remain or all positions are filled with money symbols. The sum of all money symbol values, multiplied if applicable, is paid.

Maximum Win

The maximum win is limited to 5,000x the bet per round or feature. Any round that reaches this value immediately ends, and outstanding features are forfeited.
