4 Horseman - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

4 Horseman review: introduction

Take the plunge straight into hell and experience chilling rewards. The developers at Spinomenal have made this possible this for you as you take on the apocalypse in 4 Horseman. This title is the second attempt at this slot, with more bonus features and better graphics.

Overall theme

The game takes place in the middle of hell, with smoke, ashes and even skulls behind the reels. The background has been well designed and has been animated to send a chill through you.

4 Horseman RTP and variance

The real let-down of this game is the RTP, which is hellishly low at 94.5 per cent. This will be a big disappointment if you are planning to play this game for real money. It also has medium volatility, so the stats are not very desirable for anyone looking to enjoy a prize-giving slot. For a more rewarding experience, you may like to try the Heavy Metal Warriors slot.

4 Horseman bonus features

- Buy feature

The buy feature can be activated at any time, enabling you to buy and immediately trigger the free spins round. Once you click the button, you will be shown a window in which you can change your bet to match the value you would like in the free spins round. The amount you have to pay will be set according to what you bet. This feature can only be triggered during the base game and won’t be available in the free spins round.

- Wild symbol

The wild symbol can substitute for any other symbols in the game apart from the free spins and bonus icons. Landing five wild symbols on a payline will multiply your bet by 1,000x. During the free spins round, a colossus wild can also appear on the second, third and fourth reels.

- Free spins

Landing three or more free spins symbols will take you into the free spins round. The free spins symbol can also be a colossus symbol on the second, third and fourth reels. During your free spins, only these reels can contain a colossus symbol.

- Bonus symbol

Land three or more wheel bonus symbols to enter the bonus round. You will have the chance to spin the wheel and will win the multiplier indicated by the arrow.

- Colossus symbol

Any symbol in the game can appear as a colossus symbol, which takes up three spaces on the reels. These symbols only pop up on the second, third and fourth reels, with a wild colossus symbol available in the free spins round.

- Mystery symbol

If the mystery symbol appears on the reels, it will be uncovered when the reels stop and reveal a symbol at random. This could be any symbol from the game apart from the bonus, wild and free spins icons.

- Nudge feature

If only two free spins or bonus symbols land on the reels, the nudge feature may activate to nudge another symbol across and trigger the round associated with the symbol.

- Gamble feature

Once you have triggered your free spins, you may choose to gamble them to win up to 50 free spins. You can choose to walk away with the free spins you already have or gamble a number of them to try to win more. If you carry on winning, you can win up to 50 free spins to use in the bonus round; if you lose, you will receive the number of free spins indicated on the losing coin.

Our verdict

Although the game has a great atmosphere and has been designed well, we are unable to recommend this slot to players. The strong visuals and bonus features simply don’t compensate for the terrible RTP.
