Vacation Station Online Slots Review
Nina
Vacation Station is a 9 reel online slot game with 8 paylines. Developed by Playtech, Vacation Station is available on mobile platforms as well. The reels are arranged 3 x 3 and the symbols are all related to some kind of travel. There is a bus, train, motorbike, submarine, hot air balloon, ship and an aeroplane. The background to Vacation Station is a map and the colours are bright and give that vacation feel to the game.
When new symbols are replaced on the reels a bright flash appears, as if a photo has been taken. Vacation Station’s paylines run both horizontally and vertically and gives the player more opportunities for winning than the usual 3 reel slot game. Players will also have better odds of winning as wins can be on more than just one line per spin.
