Orient Express Slots is a wonderful and beautiful slot with a strong license that was made with so much love we are almost bursting at the seams while looking at it. It combines wonderful art and nice animations with innovative gameplay mechanics and things we haven’t seen any other slot do. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with it, mostly wishing that we had more hours in the day to play it. There’s not much we’d change about this game, being a new classic in our minds that we can recommend without hesitation.
If you’re looking for a new and innovative slot that pays well, plays well, and looks great, you’ve finally found it. Skip this review and take a ride on it now!
Premise
The premise of Orient Express Slots is the tale itself. This translates into a wonderful train and expressive cartoon themed slot that oozes with personality and character at every seam. They did a wonderful job realizing this premise, which seeps into all things, even the UI. It would have been easy to be lazy about this, but they spared no expense and we just loved every minute of it.
Presentation
Graphics in Orient Express Slots are good enough to frame. Everything is crisp, clear, colorful, and compelling to look at, which makes your time spent playing all the easier because of how easy they are on the eyes. It’s look playing a feature film’s concept work, over the backdrop of a mat painting from the film. Every pixel is perfect, the colors are pastel with hints of highly saturated color, and there isn’t anything we’d change about it on that front.
This is a very, very pretty game.
Mechanics
Gameplay in Orient Express Slots is great, innovative, and new, featuring things like walking wilds and rewards clock multipliers and other stuff you have to play to believe. At 5 reels and 21 pay lines, it does not break the mold there, chosing instead to keep things classy in ways we can respect.
Betting here ranges from a penny to $10, making this an accessible slot that anyone can jump into in hopes of winning a lot of money without worrying about necessarily breaking the bank in the process. Max bets cap out at $210, which tends to be how we rolled when we played it a bunch for our review. We love that we can bet high because we found ourselves lucky time and again with this game.

Who is the Game NOT For?
Although we enjoy this slot, it is not for everybody. In particular, it may not be your cup of tea if this describes you in any fashion:
* Averse to winning money online
* Looking for something truly innovative in the genre
* You find the theme in any way offputting
Is it Buggy?
In the time we spent playing this game, we did not encounter any bugs, problems, or errors. The same cannot be said for all slots of this genre, so we commend the developers for a job well done on that. We also encountered no issues in processing winnings or payments, and everything ran very smooth just like you would expect across many varied devices in a variety of ecosystems and operating systems.
Conclusion
Orient Express Slots is one of our favorite slots of the year. We don’t say that too often — once a year, in fact — but here we are with this gem of a game. It’s pretty, innovative, runs well, pays well, and you can bet as high and low as you’d like. It’s a checklist of what to do right, which they mark at every turn. We think you owe it to yourself to play this game, just be warned: it can be hard to go back to other slots after. This one’s so good that it makes all the rest seem lazy by comparison.
We can’t praise this game enough. 11/10 for us. Made our day.
