Transportation of goods by road is an integral part of our commercial networks. Truck drivers who do this are a hardy lot, as rugged as their vehicles. Some of the leading software providers have saluted this profession by developing online slot machines based on this theme. This article reviews such games from Playtech and Microgaming.

The Microgaming truck themed online slot game is titled Truck Stop. It is a 9 paylines slot machine with a wager of one coin per payline. The largest coin denomination is 10 credits. The largest total bet is 90 credits. The symbols are relevant to the theme and are crafted in a bold and colorful manner. The highest line payout of 1,000 coins is awarded by the red cigar-chewing truck driver. There is a female truck driver as well, indicating that this profession is no longer an exclusive male preserve. The purple truck driver completes the trio. An important symbol is the truck. Microgaming has added an Australian angle to the Truck Stop slot game by using the kangaroo crossing sign as a symbol. Truck Stop uses high value card icons for symbols as well. All symbols pay out only from left to right as is the practice in most online slots. But the thematic symbols start paying when only two are aligned together. Truck drivers are usually hard drinkers and the beer bottles serve as the wild symbol. This symbol does not offer line payouts nor does it multiply payouts. The truck horn is the scatter symbol and it awards scatter payouts when three or more appear anywhere on the reels. Truck Stop does not include any free spins round or bonus game on the second screen. Hence it is preferred by the old fashioned slots players. The slot game offers the complete range of Microgaming conveniences like auto play and expert mode.

The Playtech truck themed online slot game is titled Highway Kings. It is also a 9 paylines slot machine with a wager of one coin per payline. The largest coin denomination however is 5 credits. The slot game is given the appearance of the land based slot machine. The symbols are not very boldly crafted but are thematic in nature. The lower paying symbols include parts of the truck such as steering wheel, tire, piston, spark plug and battery. A nice effect is the pair of dice that truck divers hang in their cabin for good luck. The higher paying symbols are trucks of different colors. The trucks start paying when two symbols appear aligned on the reels. The largest payout is a whopping 10,000 coins. In a departure from the norm the symbols pay out on both left to right and right to left alignments. The big red truck is the wild symbol. It does not offer line payouts but it doubles payouts when assisting in winning combinations. The silencer is the scatter symbol and it awards scatter payouts when two or more appear anywhere on the reels. Highway Kings also does not offer any free spins round or bonus game on the second screen. However it includes the popular Playtech Dollar Ball side game. This is a lotto style game requiring a side bet and is played while the reels spin. It offers the top payout of a progressive jackpot.
