Game Overview
You have to hand it to Blue Guru Games for coming up with a theme that not only has no other slot developer used but also one I knew nothing about. St. Louis 1904 refers to an Olympic marathon held in the state that has to go down as one of, actually, no, definitely the craziest of all time. Only 14 out of 32 participants finished, the initial winner was found to have cheated by getting a car ride, and the eventual winner was fed rat poison and brandy by his trainers to make it to the end – he was literally carried over the line. The St. Louis 1904 slot from Blue Guru Games pokes some fun at this event, so let’s get into what this 5×3 slot with 10 paylines, a 95.92% RTP, and a 10,000x maximum win has to offer.
At this point, I guess I should ‘run’ through the features you’ll come across on the St. Louis 1904 slot. Well, for starters, there is a re-spins feature that could help you line up Medal symbols across the reels. However, the most lucrative are the Money Medal symbols with values of up to 5,000x the stake you can collect during the free spins bonus. Collecting up those symbols also progresses you past milestones that trigger more spins and increase a win multiplier that applies to those medallions.
While it’s a marathon, not a race, you’ll want to try out the St. Louis 1904 demo slot below as quickly as possible. It has some exciting features and modifiers, an entertaining theme, and quality graphics.
St. Louis 1904 Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
I’ve come across a few Blue Guru Games slots in recent months, and I’ve been very impressed with the consistency of their quality. Aside from Terracotta Army, which received a low score here at Demoslots, most have achieved the opposite. One that sticks out is Aussies Vs Emus, a 7×7 slot that is among the best scatter pays slots I’ve reviewed this year. If you venture to our Blue Guru Games page, you’ll also find many other great slot demos to play.
As you’ll see in the paytable, a few famous runners in the hectic St. Louis 1904 marathon are the better-paying symbols in this slot. The Gold Runner is out in front with 200x up for grabs for a 5-symbol combo, while the Purple Runner is trailing in second place with a 100x return, and the Blue and Green Runners then both deliver a maximum payout of 50x. If you line up five of the Medal Money symbols across a payline, you’ll receive 20x the stake, while the Rat Poison and Shoes both reward up to 10x. Last over the finish line is the Apple and Bucket, both paying up to 5x, respectively, if five land across a payline. Also helping to create wins on the reels of this slot is the Wild symbol, which will substitute for all the above symbols.
Completing this part of the review, we end with the bet selection on St. Louis 1904, where you can choose to bet from as little as €0.10 per spin up to €50.00 if you wish, with plenty of intermediate bets between the two extremes.
St. Louis 1904 Slot Base Game
The St. Louis 1904 slot is played across a 5-reel, 3-row, and 10-payline reel configuration that rewards payouts when three or more (two or more of the Gold Runner) symbols match up across a payline from left to right.
Money Medal Respins
Money Medal Symbols can land holding cash values of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, and 5,000x the stake. However, winning those values is only possible during the free spins bonus. During the base game, you’ll receive regular line payouts when enough of these symbols land across a payline.
If three of those symbols appear on the first reel, it has a chance of triggering the Money Medal Re-Spins feature. The first reel is locked in place while all others re-spin. This gives the potential for Money Medal symbols to land on the other reels to create winning combinations.
St. Louis 1904 Slot Bonus Features
The free spins bonus on the St. Louis 1904 slot will trigger when three or more scatter symbols land in any position across the reels. Even if two lands, there is a chance to trigger the bonus thanks to the possibility of one of two second chance features randomly triggering.
Second Chance Features
Those two second chance features are as follows:
- Second Chance Dogs: The two scatter symbols already present on the reels move down a position and are held while non-scatter reels receive a re-spin.
- Whirlwind: This can reveal a scatter symbol in a random position on the reels.
Free Spins Feature
You’ll receive 10, 15, or 20 free spins depending on whether 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols triggered the bonus, respectively. Before those spins start, however, up to 5 random modifiers are selected for the bonus game:
- Increased Money Medal Cash Symbols
- Increased Wild Money Collector Symbols
- More Dogs, Cars, and Rotton Apples
- Starts the free spins bonus at level 2 and with a 2x Money Medal win multiplier
- Adds 2 free spins, which also add to any retriggers
During the free spins bonus, you’ll receive the cash values of any Money Medal symbols when they land on the same spin as a Wild Collector symbol. All are collected in a meter above the reels, and each time four or more have been collected, the bonus re-triggers with additional free spins and an increased win multiplier. There are four levels in total. You start on level 1, and the multiplier for each subsequent level is 2x, 3x, and 4x. Those values apply to any Money Medal cash wins.
If a spin ends with:
- Wild Collectors but no Money Medals: There is a chance the Pack of Dogs feature triggers to add more of the latter to the reels. Alternatively, the Rotten Apples feature can trigger to transform regular symbols into Money Medals.
- Money Medals but no Wild Collectors: The Car can add new Wild Collector symbols to the reels.
Bonus Buy
In permitted jurisdictions, players can avail of the following buy bonus options:
- Purchase 10 free spins for 70x the current stake.
- Purchase 15 free spins and at least 1 guaranteed modifier for 145x the current stake.
- Purchase 20 free spins and at least 2 guaranteed modifiers for 270x the current stake.
Pros
- A unique theme and entertaining gameplay.
- Good max win of 10,000x.
Cons
- Shares similarities with many of Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Bonanza slots.
St. Louis 1904 Slot Review Final Thoughts
I’ll admit, I was fully expecting the theme used on the St. Louis 1904 slot to be the standout talking point of this latest release. However, that, alongside the combination of solid features and modifiers, led to a quality of gameplay that left me mightily impressed. Sure, there’s nothing we haven't seen before, but I think most of you will enjoy what’s on offer.
