All 30 paylines are open and ready for you to play on as soon as you start the game.

Overall Theme

As you can probably tell from the title of the game, Bandidos Showdown has a cowboy theme, taking inspiration from a town in the Wild West. There are a number of different themed symbols, including revolvers, sheriffs and bandits. Also featured around the reels are a few animated characters, including a Native American along with various cowboys who pop up as you play.

The visuals are lively, using fun graphics and animations. All of the reels are set on a backdrop of an Old West town in the middle of a desert, and the soundtrack matches the game perfectly. If you enjoy western-themed games and want to play something similar, you should try Sticky Bandits Slot.

RTP & Volatility

The return to player factor for Bandidos Showdown has been set at 94.8319%. This is a number that has been calculated by the developer and is slightly below the average for an online slot. Because the developer has estimated this number, it may not reflect your winnings based on spinning the reels 100 times.

Bandidos Showdown also has a medium to high volatility. This is because the wins don’t come round very often, but when they do, they tend to be for higher amounts of money. Players with lower budgets should be careful in this type of game because with the variance, you will end up having to spend larger amounts of money in order to land a win.

Bonus Features in Bandidos Showdown

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol is represented by the gold sheriff's badge. Not only does this offer you a 125-coin payout for landing five on the reels, it will also substitute in for any other icon in the game except for the bonus symbol. This allows you to create more winning combinations for better prizes.

Bonus Symbol

The bonus symbol is represented by the wanted poster, and it will only appear on the second, third and fourth reels. By landing these three symbols on the reels, you can trigger the mini game. During the mini game, you are thrown into an old-school, Wild West shootout with the bandits. Take hold of your revolver and shoot down each of the outlaws. Each hit you make is worth a different prize, and hitting all six targets gives you a great cash prize.

Gamble Feature

The gamble feature allows you to double your total winnings from a round. All you need to do is guess whether the next card shown will be red or black. If you’re successful, your prize money is doubled. If it is lost, you lose that round. If you lose up to five times, you lose all of your money earned in the bonus feature. The gamble feature has a maximum win limit of 10,000 coins.

Our Verdict

Overall, we thought this was a great slot. The theme has been well thought out, and the gameplay is fun. It has a similar feel to a lot of other western-themed slots, but the inclusion of a mini game makes it stand out from the crowd.
