Train of Fortune Slot Review

If you've ever thought classic fruit machines needed a few more trains thrown into the mix, Zillion Games' Train of Fortune (released in September 2026) might catch your eye. It's a pretty straightforward game built entirely around a central collector mechanic, a setup you'll definitely recognize if you played their other recent release, Electro Strike.

The whole game really revolves around its one main feature: the Respins Bonus, a hold-and-win round. To trigger it naturally, you need a BOOST symbol on the middle reel and at least one bonus coin on both the first and third reels. I do like that the base game has a random feature that can magically drop the missing pieces you need to trigger the round: it keeps the base game from feeling completely dead. If you don't feel like waiting, you can just buy the bonus for 69x your bet. It's a flat rate, with no premium tiers or special bets to worry about.

Once you're in, the fruit disappears, leaving only coins, empty spaces, and your BOOST collectors. You get the standard three respins that reset every time a new coin or collector lands. The outer reels drop coins worth anywhere from 1x to 10x, plus four fixed jackpots that peak at 1,000x.

The coolest part of the bonus is how it handles multiple collectors. If you land a second BOOST symbol, it doesn't retroactively collect the coins already on the board. However, moving forward, both collectors will grab the value of any new coin that drops. So, a 5x coin dropping with two collectors on the board effectively pays 10x. Get a third collector, and a single coin pays three times.

I bought the bonus for 69x. I got off to a great start with a 25x jackpot and a 5x coin, giving my first collector a 30x head start. A few spins later, a second BOOST landed. When an 8x coin dropped after that, both collectors absorbed the full 8x.

The round ended with my two collectors holding 41x and 11x, paying out 52x total. I didn't quite make my 69x buy-in back, but returning about three-quarters of the cost felt fair. I could definitely see how the compounding collectors could really pop off on a lucky run.

To be completely fair to the game, it's hard not to compare it to its neighbors, especially since Zillion has been recycling this mechanic a lot lately.

As I mentioned, Electro Strike came out just a couple of weeks prior. They share the exact same stacking collector engine. The main difference is the math: Electro Strike uses standard paylines, has a higher 7,000x max win, and offers two bonus buy options. Train of Fortune opts for a 3-5-3 grid with a 96% RTP, tops out at a lower 5,615x, but slightly boosts the value of the three smaller jackpots (offering 25x, 50x, and 150x compared to Electro Strike's 15x, 30x, and 100x).

Zillion is reusing this engine in 3 Dragon's Pots, due on 8 October. That one drops the max win to 5,000x and raises the buy to 100x, but it adds fun modifiers like expanding rows and multipliers, which makes it feel a bit more dynamic. And if you look outside the studio, Playson's 3 Roaring Bells: Hold and Win, due on 15 October, uses this exact layout but pushes the max win to 10,000x by adding expanding grids and multiplier cells.

Train of Fortune keeps things very simple. It lacks the flashy multipliers or expanding grids of its competitors, relying entirely on the thrill of landing that second or third collector in time to make your coins pay double or triple. If you want deep, complex features, this probably isn't for you. But if you prefer a streamlined, easy-to-understand hold-and-win game with a reasonably priced 69x bonus buy, it's definitely worth a few spins.
