You’re looking out of the window of a carriage on the Orient Express, at the Eiffel Tower with clouds moving along in the sky. In the background some atmospheric music - very 1920...s, a bit of accordion, a bit of piano. It actually has a tune which makes a nice change from soundtracks accompanying some slots. Orient Express has a very well realised theme and is carefully conceived for a player's enjoyment. There’s even animation. So ten out of ten to Yggdrasil Gaming for imaginative design. The game has five reels and 20 paylines. But is it murder trying to win?

Scatter to the four corners of the globe
In keeping with the exotic travel theme, the scatter is a golden map. Three map scatters will give you seven free spins while five of them give you 30 spins. And when the round of free spins is over, you travel off to a new city. Each city has a convincing cityscape visible through the window. Every player sets off from Paris but to progress through the game, you need to get the free spins in each city - Paris, Venice, Belgrade and Istanbul.
So this is a slot with a bit of a challenge as well as a great theme. Once you get to destination Istanbul, you can pick your own city to travel to. Not only do you have to visit all the cities, but each city has a mode so you may find yourself winning via walking wilds, the use of 12 random wilds, multipliers, and wild reels.
Free spins
The free spins are madness because you can get up to 60 of them and all of the game’s features apply on each spin.
Wild cities
Paris features a walking wild in the guise of a ticket inspector who appears to doff his hat. You’ll get a free spin and he’ll walk off to the next reel, and the free spins will keep coming until “exit stage left” of the walking wild. But during the free spins new walking wilds can show up. Venice gives the weary traveller multipliers. These start at two times and can go up to five times. You’ll see these after you win.
In Belgrade things get wilder with wild reels. You’ll see the train drive across the reels and when it stops, that entire reel goes wild. Up to three reels can be turned wild in this way.
Reach Istanbul and things start getting a bit magic carpet. Postcards fly through the air on to random characters or symbols and they turn wild. There’s an ornate gold Orient Express wild that appears in all cities and modes, and then three other wilds which appear in Belgrade, Istanbul and Paris. And don’t forget the four random wilds which can turn from two to 12 characters or symbols wild.
So what’s the verdict? It’s a first-class ride all the way on Yggdrasil's Orient Express. Great to play on mobile and tablet, full of game features and really imaginatively designed. All aboard the free slots fun train!
