A 3x3 grid with three fixed paylines forms the base game of Gold Train, a video slot from Pragmatic Play that mixes Classic, Trains and Western themes. The paylines are the top, middle and bottom rows, and they pay from left to right. Two matching symbols on a payline are enough for a win. The golden locomotive is the Wild symbol.
Three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start the Progressive Bonus Feature, which reveals random cash-prize train carriages. Each session has at least 10 carriages and no upper cap. An UPGRADE on reel 3 in the base game banks 4 to 10 extra carriages for the next trigger. An UPGRADE inside the feature banks 4 to 10 more for this session.

Practice mode
Winner Casino expects you to look at the game before you put money in.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real Gold Train needs an account and the legal age of 18+.
Play now3 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 3x3 grid start the Progressive Bonus Feature, and how often that happens is not known in advance. One session can bring no trigger at all or several. The RTP of 97.16 per cent describes the long-run return, not the result of any single session, so a short session can finish well above or below it.
97.16 is the RTP version listed for Gold Train. Which version Winner Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so read them before the first spin and do not rely on the figure in this page alone.
A$240 is the highest bet allowed here, and the maximum win of Gold Train is a ceiling that is reached very rarely. Reaching it depends on random carriage prizes, so no session can be planned around it. Read the figure as a limit of the game, not as a target.
Know your stake
Useful before your first session, when you want the bets and the feature explained.
Gold Train takes stakes from A$0.03 to A$240 a spin. The paytable uses A$0.40 per spin, and the examples here go up to A$2. A$240 is the highest bet allowed here.
The paytable at A$0.40 shows what each symbol pays, so you can read the payouts before you choose a stake. The 3 fixed paylines run top row, middle row and bottom row, and pay left to right.
The Progressive Bonus Feature has no upper cap on carriages. Each session has a minimum of 10 carriages, and how far it climbs depends on random results nobody can know in advance.
Wins come from the 97.16% RTP over many spins. The bonus trigger needs 3 or more scatters anywhere on the grid. How often that happens, and how a session runs, cannot be known in advance.
Gold Train is for players aged 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can enrol with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a session budget in A$ before the first spin, and treat that amount as money you have already spent.
Write down the point where you stop before the first spin, and hold to it after a win as well as after a loss.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you open Gold Train, so the limits are in place before the first spin.
If Gold Train stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude with BetStop before you play again.
