Orient Express (3Win8): tiger wilds and a ship multiplier

Orient Express is a lucky-charms slot: gold ingots, red paper lanterns, a bonsai in a blue pot, bowls of tang yuan, a square-holed coin, a peach marked 壽, a 福 pouch and a round-faced lucky doll. A tiger and a dragon sit on framed tiles as the special symbols. There is no train in sight despite the name.

A version also runs on 918Kiss; see Orient Express on 918Kiss.

Tigers, dragons and the ship

The help page headline is "WIN UP TO 16X PAYS". Here is how the three special symbols fit together:

• Tiger (substitute): only appears on reels 2 and 4. Stands in for everything except the dragon, and doubles the prize when part of a win.
• Dragon (scatter): pays anywhere, 200, 15 and 3 for five, four and three, multiplied by total bet. Three or more award 15 free games.
• Ship (feature only): during free games it may appear on reel 3, substitutes like the tiger, and multiplies the win by 2, 4 or 8. The multiplier is cumulative with a tiger in the same combination.

So the 16x is the ship's top x8 on top of the tiger's x2. The page doesn't say how often each ship value comes up.

The reels in play

In the hero shot the game is at 5 lines and 0.04 a bet, with a win of 0.80 showing. Above the reels: MINOR 600.00, RANDOM JACKPOT 16139.33 and MAJOR 1000.00.

At full lines, pictured above, 20 lines at 0.10 comes to 2.00 per spin. Line numbers 1 to 20 are stacked in coloured tabs on both sides.
