Dead Riders Trail Free Demo: Feature Wheel, Trail Bonuses, and the Reported 50,000x Cap

Dead Riders Trail is Relax Gaming’s 2022 biker-gang slot: a 6x6 tumbling grid choked with stone blockers, a Feature Wheel that decides whether you get free spins or one of two board-game trail bonuses, and a ceiling reviews report at 50,000x. The ways count, the feature names, and the studio’s own “volatile” label come from Relax’s game page; the payout numbers do not, and that gap matters here more than usual, because the only RTP the studio does print is a reduced one. The demo below is the free way to learn the trail before any of those numbers costs you anything.

How the game works

The grid is 6x6 and pays up to 46,656 ways - “up to” because stone blocker symbols occupy part of the board on every spin, and Relax’s own page confirms both the figure and the blockers. Wins tumble, and any win adjacent to a stone block destroys it, the same clearing mechanic Relax runs in Temple Tumble 2. One review describes the wild as a Route 666 road sign substituting for all regular symbols, and base game pays as modest: the real objective of every spin is demolition.

Bomb every blocker off the grid and the Feature Wheel spins. Relax’s page is explicit that the wheel is the gateway to everything - free spins, the Trail Bonus, or the Super Trail Bonus, with a Gamble option on the way out. Reviews put hit frequency at a reported 24.61%, roughly one win in four spins, and grade the math 5 of 5 on volatility: long demolition stretches with nothing to show are the design, not bad luck.

The wheel, the bombs, and the trail

The wheel’s outcomes, per the review consensus: 4 or 7 free spins, the Trail Bonus, or the Super Trail Bonus. Land free spins and you can gamble them for the Trail Bonus instead - one review lists the odds at a reported 33% from 4 spins and 52% from 7 - but a losing gamble sends you back to the base game with nothing, and the Super Trail Bonus can never be gambled into.

Free spins keep the tumble grid but arm some blockers with bombs. A win next to a bombed blocker blows up the entire reel and transforms its symbols into one kind - Relax’s own page says the mystery symbols reveal “the best possible symbol” for the board. Clearing every blocker during the round adds a reported 3 extra spins.

The Trail Bonus leaves the reels entirely: a pawn rides a board-game loop, moving 1 to 6 steps per turn, starting with 3 fuel cans and ending when the fuel runs dry. Reviews itemize around 11 tile modifiers, including a Payer (reported 3x to 10x multipliers on tile values), a Sniper (doubles a reported 3 to 6 tiles), Two Knife (adds a reported 50x to 200x to up to 4 tiles), Refuel, Collect, and Collect All - with the Sniper, Payer, and Two Knife available as persistent versions that fire again on every subsequent turn. That persistent compounding is unmistakably the same studio DNA as the Money Cart in Money Train 3, rebuilt as a board game. Completing a lap is reported to add +3x to every multiplier tile, and the Super Trail Bonus swaps the silver prize truck for a gold one that only deals persistents or Collect All, which is where the reported 50,000x runs live.

Where buys are permitted, reviews agree on three prices: the Feature Wheel at 50x, the Trail Bonus at 90x, and the Super Trail Bonus at 250x, with buy RTP reported at 96.50%. Buys are removed in several regulated markets, including UK-licensed sites.

RTP honesty check

Here is the part we always verify before repeating: the only RTP printed on Relax Gaming’s own page for this game is a German build at 90.00%. The 96.2% default that every review quotes appears nowhere on the studio’s site, so we mark it reported - three independent databases agree on it, but none of them is Relax. This is the same pattern we documented on Money Train 3: the studio publishes the reduced builds itself and leaves the headline figure to third parties. A 90.00% build is not a slightly worse version of this game, it is a materially different one, and nothing on screen shouts about which build a casino runs. Before real money touches this game, open the info panel at your casino and read the number there - our RTP guide shows where to look and what the difference costs you.

The bottom line

Dead Riders Trail is Relax doing what Relax does best: a demolition base game borrowed from its tumble series feeding a persistent-modifier bonus that compounds like the Money Cart wearing a leather jacket. The mechanics are the appeal; the paperwork is the caution. The max win, the default RTP, and the trail odds are all reported figures, and the one number the studio does print is the 90.00% build. Learn the wheel’s rhythm here in the demo, browse the rest of the studio’s catalogue on our Relax Gaming hub, and if you take this one to real money, confirm the build first and treat 50,000x as the engine’s limit, not its promise.
