6 in the chamber slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Wild West-themed slots have been a familiar sight at every online casino since the success of NetEnt’s legendary Dead or Alive and its even more insane sequel. Every developer you can think of has tried their hand at recreating the success of NetEnt’s classic title, and there have certainly been some excellent attempts – Wild West Duels from Pragmatic Play was a heavy hitter, as was their Wild West Gold Megaways machine, a little later on. The truth is, however, that slots have moved on significantly since the days of Dead or Alive – it’s still hugely popular thanks to its ability to throw out huge wins on a whim, but it’s undeniably rather basic in comparison to a typical 2023 release.

With only ten paylines, it's natural to assume that the paytable will be somewhat generous – there are three character symbols which I’ll be describing as the sheriff, the Indian, and the female – and those will pay you 100x, 75x, or 40x your current stake respectively for a complete payline of five of a kind. That’s not too shabby, but not the best you can get from a ten-line machine. In the middle of the pack, you’ll find stacks of cash and a bottle of whiskey, awarding 30x or 20x the total bet, respectively. Finally, playing cards are used for the low-paying symbols – the aces are worth 10x for all five symbols, whilst the remaining cards will get you 7.5x, 5x, 4x, or 2.5x for the Kings, Queens, Jacks, or Tens, respectively. If you were hoping for a big wild or scatter payout such as that offered by Dead or Alive, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you – this game doesn’t offer a premium payout for either.

The betting range is also surprisingly limited – there are minimum/maximum limits of €0.10 and €5.00 per spin respectively, which should be enough for most players but still seems a tad restrictive compared to other modern releases.

base game & modifiers

At a glance, 6 in the Chamber looks fairly similar to any other video slot – it utilises a standard 5x3 reel set, and with just ten fixed paylines, there’s no fancy Megaways business or anything like that to complicate the gameplay. That doesn’t mean that this is a simple game, however – every win results in a shot from your pistol, and if there are wilds currently shown above the playfield, you’ll aim for those to add extra wild symbols to the reels.

free spins

If you opt for the Rookie Free Games, the maximum amount you can win is limited to 20,000x the total bet, but you are also guaranteed ricochet wilds after your first two cascading wins. This option is labelled as a 6/10 on Lucksome’s volatility scale.

Go for the ‘elite’ spins, and your top prize rises to a massive 50,000x the total bet. All bounties are increased in this mode, and the developer labels this as being a 7/10 on their volatility scale. 

Finally, if you are playing in hunter mode, there is only really one option to take – the hunter free spins with a top jackpot of 100,000x the total bet! You would be mad to choose either of the other options if you have been playing at the higher cost per spin, but it’s worth bearing in mind that the insane 10/10 volatility of this feature means that you will often win very little – only a handful of players will ever receive those enormous jackpot prizes.
