With the premium we place on time, train travel has become a rarity, especially over long distances. At one time the best way to travel across the American continent was by rail. Two online casino software providers that cater to players from the United States have developed perfect train themed online slots.

All Aboard is from the portfolio of Rival Gaming and is live at online casinos like Bovada Casino and Bodog Casino. The symbols are in caricature style, the colours are soft pastel and the background audio includes train related sounds. The engine is the wild symbol, the engine driver Casey Jones is the scatter symbol and the bell is the bonus symbol. The reference to Casey Jones is poignant, because the man became a legend when he died heroically in a rail accident saving the lives of many passengers. The other thematic symbols are station master, lantern, water tank, rail crossing sign, box car and whistle. The engine is an expanding wild. In the win animation the entire reel gets covered with a rail track and the train chugs across it. The scatter symbol triggers the free spins feature. Three scatter symbols award 10 free spins at 2x multiplier, four scatter symbols award 20 free spins at 3x multiplier and five scatter symbols award 40 free spins at 5x multiplier. The bonus symbol triggers the pick an object bonus game on the second screen. You pick box cars for bonus credits until you find an empty box car.

Loose Caboose is a video slots game from Realtime Gaming and is live at online casinos like Club World and Silver Oak. The wild symbol is the engineer and the scatter symbol is the caboose. The high paying symbols are locomotive, conductor, passenger, ticket and purse. The low paying symbols are the usual playing card icons. The engineer symbol also awards the highest line payouts. Five of these symbols in an active payline award 5000 times the line bet. The scatter symbol triggers the Cash Train bonus game. The Cash Train moves across the rows of the reels. Each compartment of the train displays a number of free spins, a payout multiplier or bonus symbols. Then all the free spins won are played out at the total of the multipliers earned. The bonus symbols become additional wilds during the free spins. The free spins feature can be retriggered. Loose Caboose also includes the trademark Realtime Gaming randomly triggered progressive jackpot.
