St. Louis 1904 (Blue Guru Games) – Review & Demo Play

St Louis 1904 Slot Overview

I went into St Louis 1904 expecting a quirky marathon romp, and it delivers that offbeat slice of Olympic lore. The 5x3 layout with 10 paylines sits on a dusty country road, while the gameplay leans volatile with a 10,000x cap. Wild Collector, Money Medals, Free Games, and a Feature Buy shape the race. The pace spikes in bonuses, yet the base game still teases with medal setups. It feels like chasing water on a scorching course, with sharp swings and memorable bursts.

St Louis 1904 Slot Information

A spin cost ranges from 0.10 to 50. Default RTP is 95.95%, with alternative settings of 93.99% and 85.97% at some sites. Hit frequency clocks in at 14.57%, and volatility sits very high, so bankroll drift can be choppy. Wins land left to right on 10 fixed lines, needing three or more of a kind from reel one. It runs clean on mobile and desktop. The backdrop mirrors the notorious 1904 course with heat haze, barn, cornfield, and insects circling.

Symbols in St Louis 1904

The low pays are water buckets, apples, thermometers, running shoes, and strychnine bottles, paying 5x to 10x for five of a kind. Medals sit in the mid tier: bronze, silver, and gold each pay 20x on a full line. Four runners make the best line hits, from 50x up to 200x for five. There’s no Wild in the base game. During bonuses, a Wild Collector arrives to substitute and tie the feature together.

Money Medal symbols can double as cash prizes in Free Games when they land with a Wild Collector. Values seen are 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, and a hefty 5,000x. In the base game they behave as normal pay symbols. Hit three Money Medals on reel one and reels two to five re-spin, fishing for extra medals to create instant cash prize paylines. That tease can set up a strong bonus entry.

St Louis 1904 Slot Features

Free Games trigger with 3, 4, or 5 Scatters for 10, 15, or 20 spins. Miss by one and you might get Second Chance Dogs moving Scatters down with a respin, or Whirlwind revealing a random Scatter. Before the round, modifiers can roll in: more Money Medals, more Wild Collectors, more Cars/Rotten Apples/Pack of Dogs events, an instant level 2 start, or Free Game +2. These touches set a foundation before the main collection loop begins.

Wild Collector appears on all reels in Free Games, substituting and collecting every Money Medal in view. Each Collector adds to a meter; every fourth re-triggers, adds spins, and hikes the level: 2x at level 2, 3x at level 3, 10x at level 4. The multiplier applies only to the re-triggered spins, so timing matters. End-of-round helpers can fire too: Pack of Dogs adding medals, Rotten Apples converting symbols into medals, or a Car adding extra Collectors when medals sit alone.

If patience runs thin, Feature Buy is offered in three bands. Pay 70x for 3 Scatters with a chance at modifiers, 145x for 4 Scatters with one guaranteed modifier, or 270x for 5 Scatters with two guaranteed. Average RTPs for these buys are 96.22%, 96.15%, and 96.16% respectively. I like the 145x option when hunting early momentum, yet the 70x buy can snowball if modifiers arrive kindly. Volatility stays high across all purchases.

St Louis 1904 Slot Verdict

St Louis 1904 plays like a sweaty marathon, full of dust, swings, and medal chases. I rate the synergy between Money Medals and the Collector, especially when modifiers load the reels and the meter steps up to the 10x tier. The max win sits at 10,000x, but the route is lumpy, so I manage stakes with the 14.57% hit rate in mind. For me, it shines in Free Games, while the base tick-over and medal re-spins keep the legs moving.
