Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Players are invited to take a luxury rail trip, as Lucky Express has a transport theme and the action takes place in a plush railway train carriage. The game screen looks great, with very impressive graphics. The scene is set in a railway carriage, with the symbols on transparent reels in front of the window. Through the window we can see the landscape moving, giving the effect of the train travelling. As this is a luxury train journey, the reels have a rich and opulent look, with the ornate card symbols edged in gold and the character symbols appearing in embellished frames. There are some other rail passengers on the train and a train guard. There are some excellent animations, with the cascading reels particularly impressive and the changing expressions of the characters livening up the game.

The slot features some continental-sounding music alongside the chugging and tooting of the train. These factors combine to create a very atmospheric and entertaining slot.

Fans of transport-themed games will certainly enjoy Lucky Express and may also wish to try the Jackpot Express demo slot from Yggdrasil Gaming, which has a riverboat journey theme. We have a huge range of demo slots to choose from here at Slots Temple, from classic slot games to space themes and everything in between.

Lucky Express review: our verdict

Caleta has done a superb job - there is no doubt that Lucky Express looks fantastic and offers players a really enjoyable gaming experience. The cascading reels make the play really lively, even in the base game, but it is the two bonus features that really make this slot exciting. The guaranteed win in the Wild Event is a great addition and offers something a little different, but players will really want to trigger the free spins to land a 10x multiplier.
