Wild Guns Slot Machine - Play Wild Guns Slot Free

Introduction

It’s time to saddle on up and head to the Wild, Wild West, in this 2017 slot from Wazdan. Taking on a Western theme, this offering has a 5x3 format with 5 paylines. The return to player is estimated at around 96.34% but the variance is actually variable, giving players control over adjusting between low to high volatility.

Below the reels is the user interface, with barrels and wood to make even this part of the game fully within the theme. The lines are to the left, followed by coin value and cash bet. In the middle is the spin button, with autoplay and max bet flanking either side. To the right is the balance, win amount, a barrel to set the speed, and volatility level.

Symbols include gold bars, revolvers, a gold star badge, TNT, whiskey and horseshoe, plus the lower value card symbols J, Q, K and A. The wild substitutes all symbols bar the scatter to help make winning combinations. What’s more, the wild doubles the line win when substituting.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Western is a distinctive genre and popular within films and, it seems, in the slot realm. Westerns are typically set in the latter part of the 19th Century within the Western United States, aka the ‘old west’. There’s a general picture that comes to mind with this theme, with cowboy boots, spurs, neckerchief bandanas, outlaws, ranchers, bandits, bounty hunters, lawmen, saloons and Stetsons commonly featuring. It’s every man for himself and it’s a wild, wild world out there.

With Wild Guns, you’ll find beautifully rendered 3D graphics that are more suggestive of a computer or console game than a slot game. In the background is the dusty Western scene with a store to the left and a cowboy out front sporting a bandana, hat and revolver. Animations breathe life into the game, with the cowboy gently moving and smoky sand whispering across the ground as the occasional tumbleweed blows by. The reels are set in a wooden surround and sound effects further draw the player into the cowboy fantasy.

Wild Guns RTP & Volatility

The RTP is decent enough at 96.34% RTP, being slightly on the better side of average. The variance is adjustable, which is an interesting aspect of the slot to set it apart from other themed games. In theory, both those who prefer casual gaming and those who prefer higher risk for bigger wins should be able to customise this slot to their personal preferences.

How to Play Wild Guns

1. To play, simply choose your coin value. The wager will be automatically calculated.
2. Choose your speed between normal, fast or ultra fast.
3. Choose your volatility level, either low, standard or high.
4. Autoplay for 10 to 1,000 automatic spins is also an option.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Coin value in the demo starts at 0.02 for a minimum 0.10 bet. The maximum is a 20.00 coin value for a 100.00 top wager.

The maximum win is around 20,000 coins. All symbols pay for three or more, bar the guns, scatter, gold bars and wild, which pay for 2 or more. The wild is the character in brown with a hat. The scatter is the woman in a white top. The wild is the most valuable, at 20x for 5-of-a-kind. The gold bar is next at 15x for 5, followed by the scatter at 2x for 5.

Wild Guns Bonus Features

In addition to the wild doubling line prizes when substituting other symbols, there are two other aspects to this slot.

Free Spins - 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the reels will trigger 10, 20 or 30 free spins respectively. These can be retriggered during the free spins round.

Gamble Feature - After a win, you can risk your prize for a chance to double it. You also have the option of taking half the win and continuing the gamble feature to risk only half the win. It’s a chance to go double or nothing. The gamble feature potentially has seven rounds.

Overall Review

The RTP is decent but the bonus features are pretty basic, with just free spins and the gamble aspect to keep things interesting. However, we appreciate the ability to retrigger the former, and the way in which the latter ups the ante. We also like the ability for the wild to give an automatic prize bump by doubling the line win. Those preferring higher volatility slots may find the top win, estimated to be around 20,000 coins, to be a little on the low side, but given the wagers and adjustable volatility we’d consider this reasonably generous. We like the ability for players to customise and adjust the variance to suit their style. It’s also rather novel to have a three speed adjustment for the gameplay itself, rather than a single turbo boost feature.

The graphics are stunning and reminiscent of a modern day computer or console game rather than a slot game. The animations are smooth and the soundtrack adds some energy, resulting in more atmospheric and engaging gameplay that’s very easy on the eye. Fans of westerns will likely be delighted by the theme and the way in which the gunslinging tension is created.

Keep a cowboy boot firmly in the action and check out the Dead or Alive demo from NetEnt. You’ll need to outrun the lawman on the reels as you play with 9 paylines, 12 free spins with lines paying twice the wager, and symbol values up to 2,500x.
