A 3x3 grid, with three fixed paylines (top row, middle row and bottom row), forms the board of Gold Train. The game carries Classic, Trains and Western themes, and wins pay from left to right. A win needs at least two matching symbols on a payline, counted from the left. The golden locomotive is the WILD symbol.
3 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start the Progressive Bonus Feature, which reveals random cash-prize carriages, at least 10 per session with no upper cap. An UPGRADE landing on reel 3 in the base game banks 4 to 10 extra carriages for the next trigger. Inside the feature, an UPGRADE banks a further 4 to 10 carriages for this session.
Less guessing
3 fixed paylines and a plain bet range remove the worry of not knowing what a click does.
A$0.03 is the lowest bet on Gold Train and A$240 the highest. A$0.50 and A$5 are the example bets here, so you can compare a small and a large round.
2 matching symbols can already pay on one of the 3 fixed paylines, the top, middle or bottom row, read left to right.

3 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 3x3 grid start the Progressive Bonus Feature. How often that happens cannot be known in advance, because each spin is random. The result of one session is also random, and the RTP only describes what happens over a very long run of play, not what a single visit will return.
A$100 staked is the basis of every RTP figure on this page. Crownplay Casino shows which RTP version runs for Gold Train only in the game rules, so check them before the first spin. Those rules are the place to confirm the figure that applies to your play.
A$240 is the highest bet Gold Train accepts here. The maximum win is a ceiling, and players reach it very rarely, so it is not a result to expect at any bet. Read it as the upper limit of what the game can pay, not as a target.

The size of a session rests on the bonus. Each Progressive Bonus Feature session reveals at least 10 random cash-prize carriages with no upper cap, and an upgrade banks 4 to 10 more. How often the bonus comes is unknown before the first spin.
The Progressive Bonus Feature has no upper cap on its carriages, so the top prize is not fixed before a session starts. Each carriage is a random cash prize. Whether and when the bonus triggers cannot be known in advance.
Gold Train accepts stakes from A$0.03 to A$240. The examples on this page use A$0.50 and A$5, so check the stake shown before each spin.
