West Shot Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

West Shot is an exciting and immersive Skywind online slot packed full of rewarding bonus features.

The game is set in Asia, where a strong warrior and his white tiger await to assist you on a great quest to save the homeland and discover some hugely impressive rewards. The symbols are all inspired by Asian culture, with the ying-yang symbol offering the highest prizes alongside gold coins, traditional ornaments, Chinese letters, plants and more.

The game is jam-packed with bonus features to help you make the most of every spin. These include the infamous Skywind money shot respin feature and jackpot shot feature, giving you the chance to win free spins, multipliers, or one of the four jackpots.

To win in West Shot, all you need to do is line up three+ matching symbols along one of the 30 paylines, starting on the leftmost reel. The white tiger acts as the wild in this slot, substituting for any symbol except the scatter and bonus to help you land larger and more frequent winning combinations.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

West Shot takes an interesting approach to online slots with a simplistic purple background visible behind and through the reels. The game is set at night, with beautiful stars illuminating the reels from above. It is clearly inspired by Asian culture, with plenty of traditional symbols filling the reels alongside our warrior, who takes up two positions on the reels, and his white tiger accomplice.
The soundtrack really adds to the Asian theme of West Shot, with traditional music playing throughout the game in addition to the classic whirs and clunks of an old-fashioned land-based slot machine.

How to play West Shot

We always think it is a good idea to spend some time getting to know the rules and controls of a new online slot before we play. In West Shot, all the controls are found beneath the reels as follows:

1. The first thing to do with a new slot is to look for the ‘i’ icon to discover the game rules, paytable, paylines and bonus feature. In West Shot, you can find this icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.

2. Next, you will need to place your wager. You can do this by clicking the + and - buttons by the ‘coin’ heading near the left of the control panel to adjust your wager. You can then check the ‘total bet’ heading next to it to see how much you will be betting per spin.

3. Once you are happy with your wager, click the large green spin button to the far-right to spin the reels once.

4. If you prefer hands-free slot gaming, click the ‘auto’ button to enable automatic spins. These will continue until you turn them off.

5. Next to the ‘auto’ button is the ‘turbo’ option, which you can click to speed up the spinning reels.

6. You can keep an eye on your total balance in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. Always play responsibly.

West Shot bonus features

There are a few exciting bonus features in West Shot, which we will look at individually below:

- Money shot respins

Find six+ golden coin bonus symbols in any position to trigger three money shot respins. During this game, all symbols are gold coins, some of which offer cash values. Any coin containing a cash value that lands during this round will become sticky for the duration of the feature and award an additional two spins.

- Jackpot shot

Land 15 coins during the money shot respins to trigger the jackpot shot feature and spin the jackpot wheel for the chance to win one of the four available jackpots or multipliers up to 10x.

- Free spins

- Land three+ ying-yang scatters in any position to trigger 10 free spins with up to 4x multipliers appearing. Land two+ scatters to trigger an extra five free spins.

Conclusion

Overall, we found West Shot an incredibly rewarding and exciting online slot with some impressive bonus features and generous jackpots up for grabs. We did think the game theme could do with a little work, as there was no obvious storyline and we couldn’t quite tell what the game maker was going for other than to create a rewarding slot with plenty of bonus features.

This is not a wild west slot games, as we initially thought it might be based on the name! If you would prefer to play a Wild West slot that is equally rewarding, we recommend checking out NetEnt’s Dead or Alive 2 slot.
