At one time the only way to travel across the American continent was the railroad. The trains would traverse plains, deserts and mountains, halting at quaint towns. All this is captured in Loose Caboose video slot from Realtime Gaming. You can play it at online casinos like Club World, High Noon and Silver Oak. Loose Caboose is a fairly old slot game, so the graphics are not as slick, but evoke the railway ambience in a slightly comic style.

The wild symbol in Loose Caboose video slot is the engine driver and the scatter symbol is the caboose. The wild symbol also awards the highest line payouts. If you land five engine driver symbols on an enabled payline then you win 5000 coins. The caboose symbol awards scatter payouts that are multiplied by the total bet. The other high paying thematic symbols are the locomotive, the conductor, the passenger, the ticket and the purse. Colourful playing card icons have been used as the low paying symbols. The graphics have been enhanced by win animations and sound effects.

When three or more scatter caboose symbols land anywhere on the reels, then the Cash Train feature is activated. It is a free games feature but the visual prelude is amazing. The Cash Train emerges and moves across the top row of symbols. Depending on the number of caboose symbols in the triggering spin, the train can move across the second and third rows as well. Each compartment of the train awards a number of free games, a payout multiplier or bonus symbols. The total of the free games with the total of the multipliers are played out as soon as the Cash Train departs from the reels. The gold bonus symbols act like additional wilds during the feature. The free games feature can be re-triggered.

Loose Caboose video slot has the standard 5x3 format with 25 selectable paylines. As usual, the right strategy is to play with all paylines activated. The coin denominations range from 0.01 to 5.00 and you wager one coin per payline. So the total bet can be varied from $0.01 to $125. Loose Caboose can be enjoyed by both low rollers and high rollers. The top line payout can be as high as $25,000 for maximum coin size. The online video slot also features the Realtime Gaming randomly triggered progressive jackpot, which you can win after any spin and with any bet.
