Grand Express Contest

The Grand Express Contest is an exciting event with sidebar progression and a unique roulette board mechanic. This contest requires players to be strategic and attentive in order to collect suitcases and progress through the stages. Below we will explain the contest rules, mechanics and bonuses in detail.

Contest Mechanics

Sidebar Progression

As in other sidebar contests, in the Grand Express players must collect suitcases that appear from under the king cards. The number of suitcases depends on the selected game:

• In Solitaire Social, for each king, the player receives 1 suitcase.
• In Solitaire 3 Social - 3 suitcases for each king.

Points are awarded according to a similar system as in other sidebar contests, including bonuses, streaks and x2 bonuses, which are also valid here.

Train mechanics

This mechanic includes a playing field where a train token moves and a roulette wheel, which the player spins to move around the field.
For each completed stage of the side panel, the player receives spins.

The roulette includes 4 colors. When a certain color appears on the roulette wheel, the player's train begins to move around the playing field to the nearest cell of this color. Each cell on the field gives a certain number of points, which the player collects by stopping on the corresponding cells.

Progress and stages

By collecting points from the cells, the player passes the stages of the upper progress. At each stage, the player receives a reward, including the final reward for the competition.

Special cells on the field

There are two special cells on the playing field that can significantly increase the player's points:

Cell x2: When stopping on cell x2, all points on the field are doubled, and the player spins the roulette again and receives double the points of the cell on which he stops.

Bonus cell: If the train stops on a bonus cell, the player gets a bonus spin of the roulette, after which he moves to the corner cell of the color that falls out. During this move, the player collects all the points along the way, moving through the cells.

Interaction of x2 and bonus

If after stopping on the x2 cell, a bonus spin falls out, then all the points on the cells are also doubled. This gives the player the opportunity to collect twice as many points from each bonus cell.

Bet

The mechanics of the Grand Express competition also include a bet. The player can choose how many spins to use in one move, and this number of spins will affect his final points. The number of points on the field is multiplied by this bet, which adds an element of strategy to the game - the more bets, the more points can be collected on each cell.
