Wild West Slots

With a name like this, you definitely know where you are heading. Wild West is a video slot game by R. Franco that will put you in charge of a typical frontier town somewhere out West. The stakes are high, and if you look close enough you could find some progressive jackpots that will make your stay even more interesting.

Wild West is home to 25 paylines, free spins and a medium volatility - not to mention a great visual universe inspired by classic cartoons and plenty of Far West references. What’s not to like here? Let’s find out all about Wild West in our complete review of the game to give you a better idea of what to expect.

Welcome to the Far West

Wild West is actually quite colourful and dynamic despite its somewhat basic graphic quality. The Far West universe is iconic enough to provide the developers with plenty of basic elements to work with. As a result, the action is taking place in the middle of the desert (vultures included), with cacti framing a large plank of wood where the reels are placed.

The devil is always in the details, and Wild West has plenty of fun visual elements that we will let you discover by yourself when you start gambling. We can assure you that despite being classic in style, Wild West delivers exactly what we would expect from a Far West slot game, plus a cool gameplay that we will examine next.

Sharp Shooter

The 25 paylines of Wild West stretch over 5 reels, with all the command buttons you can think of neatly grouped in the bottom part of the game screen. Use them to choose a wager and activate paylines manually, or just go all-in with a single click on the bet max button. The minimum is 0.25, while going all-in will cost you 125.00 a spin. Unsurprisingly, you will find the classic autospin mode available in Wild West as well.

Thanks to its medium variance and a RTP hovering just above 95%, Wild West is a very average slot game in terms of winning statistics. The fairly large paytable contains all the card icons you can think of, plus cards, cowboys and game logos worth up to 500 times your wager, if you are very lucky. To help you out a little, the developers have also included some interesting bonus features.

Stay on the Right Side of the Law

The sheriff stars will prove quite useful in Wild West. As scatters, you won’t even need to line them to win a few small cash prizes during the game. Besides, every win gives you access to an optional mini game. Pick the right colour for the next card to double your reward over and over, for as long as you dare play.

The bank safes are your key to the free spin bonus in Wild West. Line them up on the three central reels to win 10 to 20 free games, plus a x2 multiplier if you are lucky. Alternatively, pistols appearing on reels 1 and 5 at the same time trigger a shooting mini game. Eliminate as many targets as you can to unveil some extra cash prizes as you go.

One Large Family of Games

Playtech’s Rocky, a slot game inspired by the ultra-famous movies, is actually quite close to Wild West in terms of gameplay alone. Despite its relatively lower volatility, we thought that Rocky offered roughly the same chances and rewards as Wild West, with even a few more free spins available for the lucky gamblers.

Slot game with a Far West theme are anything but rare. If you are looking for one more example of the trend, check out Old West by Logispin. This simple and fun game has a low variance and a look very close to that of Wild West, if you think about it.

Classic Layout and Maximum Entertainment Value

Wild West is a classic and honest slot game with quite a few bonuses to offer. On top of it all, you may be able to unlock a progressive jackpot if you are willing to play all-in. And if you are a little ambitious, there is no good reason for you not to. Wild West has many ways to reward high rollers, after all.

Originality might not be the most prominent feature of this slot game, but we still had a blast testing Wild West, overall. The first rewards that you score might not be very impressive at all, but if you stick around and keep going long enough you are bound to unlock some fun bonus in the long term.
