Vacation Station

Vacation Station uses a nine reel, eight line format that was first seen online in 1998 when Slotland launched Golden 8. The name Vacation Station is quite fitting as the game is a quite a change from the normal three reel or even five reel slots. It also offers some of the widest range of betting limits online.

It comes in eight different coins sizes (1c, 5c, 10c, 50c, $1, $2 and $5) and you can choose to bet between one and three coins per line. This makes for a max bet of 24 coins per spin. We recommend playing three coins per line as the top jackpot is only 1,000 coins for one coin play. Still max bet at the penny coin size is under a quarter a spin. If you have a big budget you can go up to $120 / spin.

All of the symbols have a vacation theme with a cartoon like appearance. You will find airplanes, cruise ships, sail boats, hot air balloons, cars, bikes, trains and submarines. Editors Note : I have never taken my submarine on a vacation but I guess some do!

The is no wild symbol but there is the scattered suitcase that pays when four or more land. In fact the scattered suitcase symbols can pay up to 1,000 times your total bet if you hit nine of them or 500 times you bet if you hit eight - making it one of the highest paying symbols.

With eight lines you have quite a few ways to win on every spin. To win the 4,000 top three symbol jackpot you need to line up three airplanes on any active pay line. Because each reel spins independently from it's neighbors it is possible to get all nine reels to land on the same symbol.

This means the top possible payout is actually a massive 32,000* coin win. (4,000 x 8 = 32,000). Other top wins include three cruise ships which pay 2,250 coins and 1,500 coins for three sail boats.

Vacation Station proves that the excitement of slot can be increased by making games that are a bit outside the norm.
