Fast Track takes you into the middle of a race and it’s an Amaya slot machine. This slot has everything to do with racing and speed, using both cars and motorcycles to illustrate the point. Car and bike racing have a huge following, and even though we’re not dealing with Formula 1 level fans here (not as many of them look at motor sports as they do at F1), you’re still going to find that it’s a slot that every gearhead will be able to appreciate.
This 5 reel game from Amaya offers 9 paylines total, with their top prize being set to a more than decent $62,500 (enough to get a very fast car). The slot has a decent set of wilds and scatter symbols, with bonus games being one of the things you can get from them.
Features of Fast Track
Featuring one rather limited wild and a couple of scatter symbols, Fast Track does not impress in this area, but it doesn’t bring shame to the Amaya slot family either.
The Wild blue sports car will act in the role of the wild, a rather limited feature in this case, as it happens in many slots from Amaya. You can only use the wild to take the place of another racing vehicle, so it can help a F1 car or a motorcycle complete their combinations. It’s also a symbol that offers its own prizes, the top jackpot being among them (5 wilds required on the same line).
Two different types of scatter symbols are available, each one offering prizes on its own. In both cases you have the same maximum amount being awarded though, 2,700 credits. You need a minimum of three scatter symbols of the same type, to get the prize offered. One is the Speed Scatter, the other is the Mystery Scatter.
Track Pick Feature
The symbol responsible for the Track Pick feature is a trophy cup, with two checkered flags on both sides and with the word Bonus written in front. This is a limited scatter symbol, required to appear on adjacent reels (though the exact position on them doesn’t matter). At least three are needed to get the feature going, but if you have four there is a 2x multiplier involved, while five scatters will bring you the 3x multiplier.
The title of the feature will tell you what you have to do in this bonus game. You pick from among the race tracks displayed, and you keep doing it until you get the Collect message. If you get the Collect message with your first pick, you get all the available multipliers. Otherwise, each track will get you either 5x, 2x or 1x the value of the bet.
Betting options and jackpots
Fast Track has a total of 9 lines and the game allows for 1 to 5 coins to be used for each one. You only have to place the bet on the lines you want to have active, but it’s a good idea to use all 9 and get the wager up to 45 coins. The coin denomination has a huge impact on the bet you make, going up to $5. That means a maximum bet worth $225.
With such a big wager, you can expect the top jackpot to be at least decent, and Amaya doesn’t disappoint. You get up to $62,500 from the game, meaning 12,500 coins at their highest denomination.
Design and symbols
As you will find out yourself, the game tries to be as car related as possible, doing this by using exhaust pipes to decorate the area near the game logo, checkered racing flags for every single playing card and car/bike related objects everywhere else. There is a bit too much of the flag stuff on the reels, but other than that it’s going to be a pleasant experience for any car fan.
Symbols: Blue Sports Car (wild, 2,500x), Bonus Trophy (scatter), Speed Scatter (2,700x), Mystery Scatter (2,700x), F1 Car (1,000x), Yellow Motorcycle (750x), Ace (500x), King (250x), Queen (150x), Jack (100x) and 10 (50x).
Is It Worth Playing?
For a fan of fast cars and adrenaline, Fast Track should be a great choice. Its betting requirements are on the high side, but it tries to make up for it with its features.
You will find Fast Track at any online casino which chooses to use software from Amaya, playable either for free or for real money.
