Majestic Express – Gold Run is a 5x4 video slot by Pragmatic Play with high volatility. Here are its figures, rounds and bonus modes before your first spin.
Pick this slot if you want a video slot with a mining, train and Western theme on a 5x4 grid. Wins come from matching symbols, and at least three matching symbols must land to pay. The symbols include the Old Prospector, the White horse, the Gold-ore mine cart, the Dynamite or powder barrel, the Pickaxe and shovel, and the A, K, Q, J and 10 cards.
Choose this slot if you want extras beyond the reel spin. Free Spins, Multiplier and Wild join the Money Symbol Collection mode. Its MONEY values run from 1x to 15x and TRAIN MONEY values from 1x to 8x, collected when a COLLECT or SUPER COLLECT symbol lands on reel 5. The mode can trigger in the base game or during free spins.

Majestic Express – Gold Run
Most worries start with not knowing where the money goes, so each step below shows it.
Choose a bet between A$0.10 and A$250 before the first spin. This page uses A$0.20, A$0.40 and A$1 as examples, so you can compare them with your own stake.
Watch reel 5 for a COLLECT or SUPER COLLECT symbol. When one lands there, the MONEY and TRAIN MONEY values are collected. Three matching symbols is the fewest that pays.
Learn the four features before your first spin: Wild, Money Collect, Multiplier and Free Spins. MONEY symbols carry 1x to 15x values, and TRAIN MONEY symbols carry 1x to 8x.
Watch for the Free Spins stage on the screen. During it, a COLLECT or SUPER COLLECT on reel 5 can still trigger Money Symbol Collection.
Set your loss limit before the first spin, since session results cannot be known in advance. If play stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Three Modes Explained
At Winshark Casino, each bonus is laid out in plain steps before you play it.
Keep an eye on reel 5. This mode starts when COLLECT or SUPER COLLECT lands there, and it can trigger naturally in the base game or during free spins. Collected values are MONEY (1x-15x) and TRAIN MONEY (1x-8x, MINI20x/MINOR50x/MAJOR500x/GRAND5000x).
Base gameCollected money values
Check the features before you spin. Free spins sit alongside the money collection. Money Symbol Collection can trigger during free spins, so one round can combine both features.
Regular spinsFree spin rounds
The Buy Feature is a paid feature that costs 100 times the bet. At the A$1 example bet it costs A$100, so the price moves with each bet size.

Before you buy the bonus, note the price is a set multiple of your bet, and the cash amount sits in the table.

| Buy Feature price in bet units | x100 · A$100 | – |
Before you pick a bet, the return to player tells you how much of each A$100 staked comes back over a long run. The version Winshark Casino runs is shown in the game rules.

Choosing a bet means accepting that nobody can tell you when the bonus round will arrive. How often Free Spins start is not known in advance, and it varies from one session to the next. The result of one session is random, whatever RTP version you play. A stated RTP does not promise a win on your next spin.
Choosing a version starts in the game rules, because they are the only place where the RTP version we run is shown. The name of the game does not tell you which version is live, so read the rules before you bet.
Planning around the top prize means keeping its odds in view: the maximum win of Majestic Express – Gold Run is a ceiling reached very rarely, not a typical result. The figure is x20,000 of the bet, so the maximum win grows with your stake.
You must be 18+ to play. If gambling worries you, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget before you open Majestic Express – Gold Run, and treat it as the most you will lose. A high volatility slot can drain it quickly.
Decide your stop point before the first spin and keep it after a big win. A win can tempt you to chase, so stop at your target.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you play. They cap what you deposit and lose, so you stay in control.
Take a break as soon as the game stops feeling fun, even with money left in your account. If you want longer distance, you can self-exclude.

Know what to expect
By the end, you know the bets, bonus, win ceiling and volatility before your first spin.
Pick a bet from A$0.10 up to A$250, the highest bet allowed here. The examples on this page use A$0.20, A$0.40 and A$1, so you can see what each stake means in money. Your bet size sets the money value of every win, including the maximum win.
Start with the four features: Free Spins, Money Collect, Multiplier and Wild. Money Symbol Collection can trigger naturally in the base game or during the free spins, so both features can land in one round.
Check the ceiling before you choose a bet. The maximum win is 20,000 times the bet, which is A$20,000 at the A$1 example top bet. At the A$250 highest bet, the same ceiling is A$5,000,000.
Expect big swings, because the game runs at high volatility. Large wins are possible, and so are long runs of small or no wins. Keep your stake in line with your budget, because a run of no wins can happen at any point.
Yes, the game lists a Buy Feature. Decide first whether its price fits your budget. The price is 100 times the bet, so it is A$100 at the A$1 example top bet and rises with a higher stake.
