Wild West 2 - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Place your order at the saloon bar, but make sure your pistols are close at hand as you search for success in this Wild West-themed slot from Spanish maker R Franco Games. Hope the saloon girls help you find your fortune with their expanding wild ways and that the free spins assist you in your dual with this sequel slot that follows in the footsteps of the popular Wild West game. Win up to 10,000x in a single spin and see if you can pick some prizes in the bonus game and as you spin the five reels hoping for the scatter, wild and standard wins to land on the 25 fixed paylines of the game.

Wild West 2 Theme and Storyline

Like the Dead or Alive slot, this game obviously has a Wild West theme. The logo gives you a complete vision of the theme with its pistols, arrows, dynamite and wagon wheel symbols. The action takes place in a dusty Wild West town where a cowboy and cowgirl oversee the spins accompanied by a thematic soundtrack. The latter has plenty of the Wild West notes you would expect but at times does sound like playtime at a spring factory with all its mechanic bouncing and twanging noises. You may want to know that the speaker symbol can be found by hitting the three-bar menu button. This is what you need to turn the soundtrack off!

Wild West 2 RTP and Variance

This game is the sequel to another choice of R Franco demo slots, the original Wild West game. We were unable to find out the RTP and variance for the follow-on, but the original game was low to medium volatility with an RTP typically above the industry average of 96 per cent. This may bode well for the sequel, but you should give this game a go in free demo mode to get more of a feel for how this game plays. Of course, short playing sessions cannot give you an exact RTP or variance - and no wins can ever be guaranteed with any online slot - but it can give you an idea of whether it is a good fit for you and whether or not you ever want to risk real money on spinning with this sort of slot.

How to Play Wild West 2

This slot has a great design, but thankfully the background detailing of the main screen doesn’t detract from the clarity of the user interface. If you do want to hit the ground running when you play, however, here are a few top tips to get you started:

1. Use the plus and minus symbols to choose your stake. The amount you choose is displayed below the reels, along with your playing balance and the amount of any prizes that roll in.
2. Always think carefully about how much you want to bet, especially if you are playing for real cash. Always set a budget and never stake more than you can afford.
3. There is an autoplay tab if this option is allowed in your jurisdiction. Click on this to choose how many lines you want the game to play without your having to press start.
4. The question mark button opens the paytable, which alters dynamically depending on your betting choices.
5. The three-bar tab opens the main menu. This is where you will find the sound settings, the full-screen mode and the game history.

Wild West 2 Bonus Features

The crossed pistols form the bonus symbol in the game. This only appears during the free spins game. If it lands on reels 1 and 5, then you will trigger the bonus game. This will transport you to the main street of your Wild West town and allows you to pick objects to win prizes. You stop picking when you run out of bullets.

The sheriff’s badge is a scatter symbol and pays out for matching combinations of symbols wherever it lands on the reels. If you are betting with the maximum stake, you could win 1,250 for five, 500 for four and 250,000 for three. The stagecoach is another scatter icon and appears on the central three reels. Land one on each of these and you will trigger the free spin feature. You will get between 10 and 20 bonus games. When these end, you will also benefit from an extra three special spins.

The bonuses do not end there either: the saloon girls are the wilds and appear on the central three reels. These are expanding wilds and can grow to fill whole reels. If two land any wins will be doubled. Land three and prizes will be tripled.
