OKEECHOBEEE, Fla (Gambling911.com) - It's about time another slot title hits the news following Dragon Link's domination of the headlines in recent months.
This time it's the Railroad Riches slots game at the beautiful Seminole Brighton Bay Hotel & Casino in Okeechobee, Florida that hit.
Granted, we're not talking the million dollar plus jackpots that have come from the famed Dragon Link across the U.S. It's still nice to see another slot title hitting.
The $48,203 jackpot paid out on Saturday, Aug. 22. This lucky player bet a mere $7.50 bet on a 10-cent denomination.
Railroad Riches is a relatively new casino-floor slot franchise from SEGA SAMMY Creation.
The current casino version is displayed on SEGA SAMMY's Genesis Atmos cabinet, which has a huge 55-inch 4K display. The basic attraction is a Hold & Spin feature involving colorful trains and credit prizes. SEGA SAMMY lists it as a linked-game product sold in the U.S.
The bonus tends to be one of this title's biggest attractions. Landing six gold coins triggers the Railroad Riches Spin Feature. Coins lock into position and you receive three spins; landing additional qualifying symbols can reset the spin counter. The train mechanics can then enhance the values being collected and potentially unlock additional rows/features.
Though SEGA SAMMY does not publish an RTP percentage on its public specification page,.some third-party sources place the modern game in roughly the 95–96% RTP range.
Railroad Riches Comparable Slot Titles Found Online
Online variations found at sites like Winaday and Slotland (both of which accept U.S. customers through their international gaming license) include Rails & Riches by Reevo, which is explicitly train/Wild West themed and has a published 95.58% RTP, although its mechanics aren't identical to Railroad Riches.
Other popular slot titles similar to Railroad Riches found online include Air Mail with its resin bonus plus progressive slot component, Buffalo Wild Wins with its mystery coin-pop ups and free spins along with an up to 3 times boost, and Gods of Eqypt, which incorporates multiple bonuses, a sticky/expanding wilds plus progressive feature.
Lightning Link High Stakes at Hard Rock Bet New Jersey is probably the closest U.S. state-regulated online substitute for the modern SEGA SAMMY Railroad Riches.
It launched online in New Jersey, as well as in Michigan last month, which is a significant development because Lightning Link was one of the original casino-floor franchises built around Aristocrat's Hold & Spin mechanic.
SEGA SAMMY, meanwhile, is reportedly moving towards an increased investment online in the future.
Its land-based footprint continues to expand. SEGA SAMMY reported 617 machines in Nevada (most of which are at Station Casino and Boyd's properties), 407 in California and 382 in Oklahoma as of this year with Florida and Connecticut joining the mix more recently.
