Dead Riders Trail Review

The backdrop is filled with masked robbers and rough-looking bikers, and it almost looks like an 80s action movie poster. Dead Riders Trail is a follow-up to the highly entertaining Dead Man's Trail, but the base game is more eventful this time. The tile-removing action reminded us of Temple Tumble 2, and the intro is equally impressive, if not more.

Symbol values are rather low though, but removing blocker tiles can increase the number of win ways up to 46,656. What you want is to remove all blocker tiles in view, as this gives you a spin on the all-important Feature Wheel. The bonus round is more of a consolation prize compared to the Bonus Trail, and you can win up to 50,000x in this installment as well. It’s a high-octane and hard-hitting sequel to say the least, and we recommend you check it out asap.

Dead Riders Trail Slot Features

The premium symbols, consisting of 4 characters and the game logo, pay between 0.3 and 1 x your stake, and the Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The wild appears on reels 2 to 6 only, and it holds no value of its own.

Winning symbols are removed together with adjacent blocker tiles, and this repeats as long as you keep winning. New and/or existing symbols fill the gaps each time, and this gives you a dynamic reels mechanic.

If you manage to remove all the blocker tiles via exploding winning symbols, you are rewarded with a spin on the Feature Wheel. This gives you either 4 or 7 free spins, the bonus trail feature, or the super bonus trail feature. You can gamble your free spins to upgrade to the bonus trail, and you have a 33 % chance with 4 FS and 52 % chance with 7 FS. Losing the gamble takes you back to the base game.

In the Free Spins round, you’ll see that some of the blocker tiles come with bombs attached.

These bombs go off when adjacent to a winning combo, and this turns all symbols on the relevant reel into a random matching symbol type. The symbol transformation feature always optimizes for the best possible win, and you get +3 extra spins if you clear all blocker tiles.

The Bonus Trail feature comes with a token that moves 1 to 6 positions along the trail per turn. You start with 3 fuel can lives, and a life is lost per turn. Landing on a fuel can resets the tally to 3 again, but this also removes the fuel can from the trail. Running out of lives, or hitting the win cap, means the feature ends.

Regular trail positions come with cash prizes up to 1,000x, and landing on truck positions gives you a bonus modifier. Silver trucks can give any of the below listed modifiers, while the golden truck always gives you the persistent or collect all feature. All cash prizes are multiplied by x3 if you make a full round, and this also upgrades the number of lives by +1. Here’s an overview of the modifiers:

• Cash - a prize of 25 to 50 x your stake is awarded.
• Sniper - boosts 3 to 6 cash prize positions by x2.
• Payer - increase all regular cash prize positions by +3 to +10.
• Two Knife - upgrades 2 to 4 random cash prize positions by adding +50 to +200.
• Refuel - between 2 and 4 fuel cans are placed in random positions.
• Shoot Back - a prize equal to your current total is placed on 1 to 3 positions.
• Collect - awards the value of the 4 closest positions.
• Collect All - awards the value of all regular cash prizes.
• Persistent Sniper - triggers the sniper modifier on each turn that follows.
• Persistent Payer - triggers the payer modifier on each new turn.
• Persistent Two Knife - gives you the two knife modifier on each turn.

In the Super Bonus Trail, you get a golden truck in the position that’s closest to the starting point.

It’s a silver truck in the regular bonus trail feature. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase a spin on the Feature Wheel for 50x the stake. The regular Bonus Trail costs 90x your stake, while the Super Bonus Trail sets you back 250x your stake.

The 200 Spins Dead Riders Trail Slot Experience

The almost 5-minute highlights video starts off with a bang, as you get to see a longer cascading win sequence which triggers a spin on the feature wheel. We won 4 free spins, and we didn’t risk gambling them away. We purchase the bonus trail feature right after, at 3:28 to be precise, and you can see it all for yourself by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

After watching the impressive cinematographic intro, we’re kind of rooting for Dead Riders Trail to become the first ever slot to movie adaptation. The game is action-packed and fast-paced all the way, and lengthy cascades happen on a regular basis.

Regular wins hardly pay that much though, due to the low symbol values, so you really need to trigger features to do damage in this game. That being said, anything is possible with up to 46,656 ways to win.

The visual presentation of the trail is a tad less impressive than it was in Dead Man’s Trail, but the feature is still highly entertaining. A full 3D world where the camera can swoop down to zoom in on the action would be next level, but you’re stuck with the bird’s eye view like before. The trail can be frustrating when things don’t go your way, but it’s also highly unpredictable. The right persistent modifier can close you in on the 50,000x potential, and this is another top notch Relax Gaming release.

Pros

• Cascading wins explode also adjacent blockers
• Remove all blocker tiles to get Feature Wheel
• FS w/ reel symbol bomb transformation
• 2 Bonus Trail tiers w/ 11 modifier symbols
• Win up to 50,000x your stake

Cons

• Very low overall symbol values
