This Ghost Train combines cartoon design with just a hint of horror - the backdrop to the reels have the look of a dungeon. Symbols on show include A to 10 playing cards as well as a bouncy castle, a demonic looking dodgem and a ghost. All 3 of these creepy symbols pay up to 20 times your total stake per payline.
The best of the standard symbols is the ghost train logo which can land fully stacked - land 3, 4 or 5 on a pay line and you’ll pocket 5, 20 or 25 times your total bet. The skulls symbol is the wild - this replaces all other symbols apart from the scatter and the 2 bonus symbols. It too awards payouts of 5, 20 or 25 times your stake.
The coconut is the scatter - land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these anywhere on the reels and you’ll win 2, 5, 20 or 100 times your total bet. You’ll notice an animated coconut next to the reels, dressed up like Dracula or Frankenstein’s monster. This can randomly change into a baseball player who’ll chuck a ball at the reels and turn random symbols into scatters. A new payout is then made. Fairground Fortunes: Ghost Train also comes with a pair of standard bonus features:
Ghost Train feature - land the Ghost Train symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 to trigger this round. You’ll be taken to a new screen where the train rides along a track and collects cash bonuses as it goes. When it reaches the end of the line, you’ll be given the pick of 2 tickets.
Once is a game over, you get to pick from 2 options to ride again. If you land 2 standard Ghost Train symbols and 1 gold ghost train on the triggering spin, you’re guaranteed 3 rides on the train. There’s up to 5 rides in total
Free Spins feature - this round is triggered by landing the bat symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5. You’ll then be awarded 10 free spins on a new machine which contains 50 rather than the usual 20 paylines. All wilds are stacked 5 high during the free spins round. You can re-trigger more spins here indefinitely!
It may have a light-hearted feel but Fairground Fortunes: Ghost Train can deliver some serious action. We enjoyed some great success during the Ghost Train feature, collecting 100 times our stake after a couple of ride arounds. Not bad for what’s essentially a picks round. The free spins were harder to come but also delivered nicely when they hit. We’d put the variance in the medium range.
Featuring impressive design and some entertaining features, a ride on this virtual Ghost Train is certainly recommended. I also suggest you try Golden Ticket from Play ‘N Go and Theme Park: Tickets of Fortune from Net Entertainment which have similar fairground themes.
