Trigger Happy - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you fancy yourself as the fastest draw in the West, then you’ll have a blast playing Trigger Happy. This rootin’, tootin’ western slot has plenty of visual pizzazz and some great bonus action including progressive jackpots and stacked wilds.

But this slot is all about the free spins with two free game bonus features on offer. You can either trigger the Trigger Happy Bonus with a choice of additional features or you can land the Lucky Spins feature at random. 

If you fancy some practice spins on this Realtime Gaming demo slot then you’re in the right place. You can play at Slots Temple without making a deposit.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

NetEnt’s Dead Or Alive slot really kicked off the interest in western themed games and this one is by no means the worst we’ve seen. 

We’re in the kind of one-horse town familiar from thousands of movies and TV shows, and there’s one happy Sherrif thanks to his two gorgeous deputies. The two cowgirls appear on either side of the reels and play a major part in the game, delivering plenty of wild and bonus action.

Other symbols include the Sherrif himself, his boots and his horse. His badge, the iconic star, plays the part of the scatter symbol. There are 6 royals on the reels, but at least they’re finished in a western font that integrates them with the theme. 

We really liked the soundtrack, though - like a kind of western tango with plenty of atmosphere, it fits the game to a tee.

How to Play Trigger Happy

Trigger Happy has plenty of visual flair and the user-friendly interface is highly intuitive - there’s even a tutorial on a splash screen before your spins start. If you’re new to slots and need an extra helping hand, here’s how to get started:

1. Before you start playing Trigger Happy, set up some time outs and choose a session budget. When the fun stops or you reach your limit, stop spinning.
2. Click on the burger menu at the right end of the interface bar - this looks like 3 horizontal lines on top of each other. A pop-up menu gives you the following choices:
   - Home
   - Info aka the paytable with more on paylines, symbol wins and special features
   - Settings to control music and view the interface tutorial again
   - History
3. If you prefer to speed up your spins, click the lightning bolt symbol to the right of the spin button to set up turbo spins. 
4. Before you can start playing, you’ll need to set a bet per line by clicking the + and - buttons on the left of the interface. You can also use the pile of coins icon to play at the maximum bet. 
5. Now you’re ready to play the game, and you’ll have two choices. Either click the circular arrow to the right of the spin button to select up to an infinite number of auto spins, or click the barrel-shaped spin button to play one game and reassess your strategy.

Trigger Happy Review

If you like western games then Trigger Happy should be on your ‘to play’ list. There’s plenty of bonus action and a clever twist in the free spins - your choice of cowgirl will deliver a random modifier to the reels in the form of substituting symbols or wild reels.

With progressive jackpots and the prospect of turning up to 4 reels wild at any one time, Trigger Happy will please most casual gamers. Risk takers should try some of the high volatility cowboy themed slots at Slots Temple.
