Crazy Colt - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Crazy Colt Slot Review

America’s Wild West is a perfect setting for a video slot, as we’ve seen many times before. Crazy Colt is a JVL free slot that really embraces Western imagery with the blazing wild mustang of its title, although that doesn’t always carry through to the symbols spread across the 5 reels. That doesn’t matter as much when 50 paylines present lots of opportunities to win that are only enhanced by the thrilling bonus features.

The Open Plain

You don’t need cowboys and shootouts to create a Western. All you need is the iconic American West, the great expanses of desert interspersed with cacti and rocky cliffs. A soundtrack that could have been composed by Ennio Morricone helps. 

In the fading light of sunset, with dust billowing under the pink clouds, you’ll find the atmospheric setting of the Crazy Colt slot. This is the land where the wild horses known as mustangs, with their colts, run free. It's a very different world from the Sweet Bonanza slot and its in-your-face colours.

A Shining Diamond

That's not all that’s going on in the Crazy Colt slot. Yes, there is the colt of the title, his craziness literally setting him on fire (he’s the wild, of course), but he’s not the only symbol. There are also hints of a more classic theme, dollar signs, 7s, gleaming diamonds and other gems set among the card symbols that are so traditional in slots. It’s an interesting combination, but it does lead to a slightly disjointed feel.

Crazy Colt RTP and Variance

When we played the Crazy Colt slot, it had an RTP of 96.01%. If you stack that against comparable slots in the modern market, that’s a solid figure. We’ve been reliably informed, however, that 96.01% is not the only RTP available. This is one of those slots where casinos may choose to tweak the average returns higher or lower, so be alert.

Luckily, some of the risk is mitigated thanks to the medium variance. Providing a balance between size and frequency of wins, this should appeal to all but the most extreme players, especially if you’re playing in demo mode.

How to Play Crazy Colt

Are you ready to break this wild horse?

1. Start with the menu button over on the left. It will reveal a settings page with volume, background music, fast play and spacebar to spin, but it also has links to autoplay, information and history.
2. Back on the main screen, you’ll see your current balance, which should help you formulate a budget, before you reach the plus and minus symbols that can adjust your bet.
3. Spin is right at the centre of the screen, flanked by the fast play and autoplay buttons. There’s another mute option over on the right.
4. Autoplay is good because it allows you to set single win, balance increase and balance decrease limits as automatic stopping points. That means less effort for you.

• Limits and budgeting are all part of the general responsible gaming practices we recommend, along with regular breaks and starting in demo mode.
• Keep all of this in mind, whether you go to autoplay or just hit spin. We want you to enjoy it safely.
• Stay in control, keep it fun.

How to Win at Crazy Colt

There's no need to ride the horse or cross the desert. Just find winning symbols by matching them across one of the 50 paylines. As a 5-reel slot, 5 is the largest and highest paying possible sequence, but like most slots, payments start when you match three (or two for some high-value symbols). If you want to trigger the free spins bonus, you need the scatter symbol.

Top Wins

Payout potential for winning symbols depends on both the number of symbols and your bet. A win multiplier of x1000 applies if you manage 5 matches of the top-paying dollar symbol. Even the scatter has a 4x win multiplier on top of its special function. The max win available in a single session is x200,000.

Bet Range

The Crazy Colt slot has a bet range starting at 0.50 and going as high as 100.00.

Crazy Colt Bonuses

Now we’re entering the realm of the Crazy Colt bonus features, and if other slots from JVL are any indication, they mean a chance to increase not just your excitement but also your total win. Stacked symbols start you off, even in the base game, and then there’s the chance to trigger the free spins bonus round.

Stacked Symbols

When top-paying symbols appear on the reels, whether in the base game or free spins, they stack, meaning they’ll stand one on top of the other, filling a reel. That means more chances of a line.

Free Spins

The game logo is the scatter symbol. Finding it three times means you’ll be awarded 10 free spins. Find the scatter three more times, and there are another 5 spins on top of it. Making it even more exciting, an additional colt wild will be added to the reels to improve your chances.

Max-win 2,000x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 94.04%

Crazy Colt Review - Our Verdict

We’re approaching the end of our Crazy Colt slot review, which means it’s time to sum up our opinion. This isn’t a bad slot by any means, with exciting gameplay and features, but we do find the use of traditional gems and 7s a little jarring for the Wild West setting. A few more themed symbols wouldn’t go amiss and could elevate it from good to great.
