Royal Express: Hold and Win is a straight-shooting slot that skips the fluff and gets right to the sticky stuff—literally. Set on a royal train decked out in gold and velvet, this game’s whole vibe is luxury on rails. The 5×3 reel layout with 25 paylines makes it super easy to follow, and everything is centered around one main mechanic: the Hold & Win bonus.
To get things rolling, you need to land 6 or more golden coins on a spin to trigger the bonus game. Once you’re in, it switches to the familiar 3-respin format where all triggering coins lock in place. Every time you land a new coin, it sticks, and the respin counter resets back to 3. It’s that classic tension-building loop that can go from “meh” to “massive” in seconds.
Coins can land with random cash values, or they might carry a Mini, Major, or Grand jackpot tag. I hit the Mini (30x) a couple of times, but I’m still chasing that Grand (1,000x)—fingers crossed. It’s not the biggest jackpot on the market, but it’s a solid target, especially when you stack a bunch of mid-sized wins in one round.
There are no wilds, no multipliers, and no free spins here—so if you’re looking for feature overload, this isn’t the stop. But if you’re into classic Hold & Win action with clean visuals and satisfying coin hits, this one delivers the goods.
The look and feel of the game are smooth—gold-plated design, train tracks in the background, classy symbols like crowns and gems, and a chilled-out soundtrack that feels like you’re riding in a VIP car. It’s not flashy, but it’s sharp.
The RTP is 96.11%, which is decent, and the medium-high volatility gives a nice balance of frequent base game wins with solid bonus potential. You’ll get plenty of teases with five coins showing up and begging for that sixth, trust me.
