Wild Saloon - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Howdy cowboy, it is time to wet your whistle down at the old saloon! Wild Saloon lets you giddy-up and play on a five-reel, 10-payline setup. This is just one of the free Promatic slots we offer here at Slots Temple.

Released back in 2018, this slot has ten different symbols for you to match on the reels from left to right. The game has is supported by all major platforms and has been optimised for mobile so that you can enjoy the HD action on the go.

Theme & graphics

The theme is very much a Western adventure, similar to the Dead or Alive slot. It has realistic animations throughout, which have a slightly cartoonish feel to them but definitely make you feel like you have stepped through the doors of an old American saloon. Complete with random tumbleweeds, this slot has a great design and the theme is spot on.

Once you have got past the loading screen, you will be introduced to the reels. You will see a number of themed symbols, including the standard playing card icons that have been designed to look like old playing cards with bullet holes through them. To the left of the reels stands an ominous cowboy who looks ready for a shootout. The reels are set in front of a saloon, with the wooden columns acting as dividers.

RTP & volatility

Wild Saloon has an RTP of 96.20 per cent, which is about average for an online slot. It also has low volatility, which means you can expect wins to roll in quite regularly but they are not going to be spectacular.

Bet sizes & paytable wins

Bets start as low as 0.01 coins in Wild Saloon and go all the way up to 10 per spin. The bets are set at various increments in this range, although there are not that many values to choose from.

The aim of the game is to make a combination of the same symbols across a payline. Wins pay out from left to right on adjacent reels, starting on the leftmost reel for all active paylines. Only the highest win will pay out per payline. If you manage to land wins simultaneously on different paylines, these will be added together and paid out.

The paytable for Wild Saloon is simple because there are not that many symbols for you to match. Below is a run-through of the different amounts you can win by landing matching combinations on the reels:

- Whiskey bottle: 3 = 1.00, 4 = 3.00, 5 = 12.00

Wild Saloon bonus features

Scatter symbol

The gold-framed revolver acts as the scatter in Wild Saloon. This icon can substitute for every other symbol in the game except the bonus symbol. Landing three or more revolver symbols will trigger 10 free spins and pay out the corresponding amount for how many you have landed. If you manage to land three more scatter symbols during the free spins round, you will receive another 10 free spins.

Bonus symbol

When your free spins round begins, a bonus symbol will be randomly selected from the available icons within the game. This bonus symbol will then expand over three positions on any reel it lands on. It pays out in any position on the paylines and helps to land better prizes.

Our verdict

Wild Saloon is a very basic slot that may suit beginners who are new to online gaming. The limited betting options and serious theme won’t appeal to many. There is a distinct lack of bonus features, which could have spiced up the otherwise boring gameplay.
