If travelling on the Orient Express is on your bucket list then it will now remain there. The luxury train that ran from Paris to Istanbul has been discontinued. But it can be relived through the Agatha Christie novel Murder on the Orient Express published in 1934 and through the movies and television serials based on the novel. The Yggdrasil Gaming online slot Orient Express coincided with the latest movie adaptation of the novel. The star-studded cast included Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer. The Yggdrasil game is not a branded slot game, but it closely follows the route of the Orient Express. It is live at online casinos like InterCasino.

The reels are set in a luxury coach of the type that you would have been in the Orient Express. Through the window you will be able to see the attractions of the cities that the train passed through. The high paying symbols are four passengers on the Orient Express. Players familiar with the whodunit may match the symbols to the characters, but Yggdrasil does not give any indications. The low paying symbols are playing card suits that are more frequently being used instead of the card values. The Orient Express logo is the wild symbol.

The Orient Express video slot passes through four modes, which are four important cities on the journey route. You start in Paris and move to Venice, Belgrade and Istanbul. In each city you have to complete a set of free spins. Subsequent free spins can be played in the city of your choosing. Three world map scatter symbols award 7 free spins, four symbols award 15 free spins and five symbols award 30 free spins. Each city offers some special features that make the free spins more attractive.

In Paris mode the train conductor symbol is a walking wild. It awards free respins and moves one reel to the left. The respins continue as long as there is a walking wild on the reels. In Venice mode a multiplier clock appears after any winning spin and awards a payout multiplier from 2x to 5x. In Belgrade mode, the train travels across the reels in each free spin turning reels into expanding wild. You can get up to three wild reels on each spin. In Istanbul mode, postcards land on random symbols turning them into wilds.
