Game Overview
Brush off your stetson and saddle up as we’re about to ride into town with another Western online slot game. Providing the ammunition for this particular adventure is developer Pragmatic Play with their title, The Wild Gang slot. A quick rummage through the stats reveals this to be a 6-reel game with an initial 2,304 ways to win, an RTP of 96.02%, and a maximum win of 10,000x the bet.
We’ve got a bit to get through regarding the bonuses and modifiers, starting with the wild scatter symbols appearing on reels 2 through 5. When this lands in view in the base game, they will carry a random multiplier up to x4 in value. We have the Mystery symbols too. These can appear on all reels, and after a spin has ended, they will all transform into a randomly selected symbol from the paytable. Landing 3 or 4 scatters in view will trigger the Wanted Free Spins and Dead or Alive free spins, respectively. During these rounds, multiplying meters come into play, enhancing your winning combos and giving you a shot at hitting the jackpot.
It’s six-shooters at the ready as we’re set to join one of the meanest and most feared bunch of outlaws in the old gambling west. If you need a little target practice before we ride out, fire up our free The Wild Gang slot demo. It’s available to play below.
The Wild Gang Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
The Western slot niche is one of the most popular you’ll find online, with some of the best slots created to date appearing in this genre. You only have to think back to NetEnt’s Dead or Alive slot or Hacksaw Gaming’s incredible Wanted Dead or A Wild slot to realise these are games that seem to resonate with all types of players. Perhaps we’ve all thought about being Billy The Kid at some point. I know I had an obsession at one stage with watching Young Guns 2 constantly, so that’s my reasoning behind my love for the slot games, well, that and sticky wild features that just happen to be capable of paying massive returns of your stake. Okay, I’m going a bit off topic here, back to Pragmatic Play’s The Wild Gang slot, and how about we find out what this one is capable of paying?
We have a whole bunch of Western-related symbols over at the paytable, and it’s the Sheriff’s Badge that’s the highest payer with rewards of 7.5x bet for a winning combo of six. The Pistol follows at 3x bet with the Dagger next at 2x, a Whiskey Bottle at 1.5x, and finally, the Cowboy Boots awarding 1x bet for a completed line of six. We’ve got the traditional royal symbols making up the low pays, with the Ace and King sharing payouts of 0.7x and the Queen and Jack both awarding 0.6x bet for a six of a kind hit.
You’re spoilt for choice when you head over to the betting options with a huge range of stakes at your disposal. These begin at €0.20 a spin, reaching up to a maximum of €240, although you’ll struggle to find any online casino daring to offer stakes as high as that in fear of going bust.
The Wild Gang Slot Base Game
The Wild Gang slot has a slightly peculiar reel matrix of 6×3 in the base game, with 2,304 ways to win. This does increase in size for the bonus rounds, but more on that later. Hitting a win across this reel set-up will require at least three symbols to match on adjacent reels beginning from the leftmost reel first.
Wilds & Scatters
The cowboy character wild and scatter symbols appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 only. In the base game, whenever they land on reels 2 or 3, they function as wilds and substitute for all symbols. When they do, they also get a random multiplier of x2, x3, or x4. The multipliers will then apply to all wins from that spin. If there are 2 wilds, the multipliers will multiply each other. When 3 or 4 appear, they act as scatters and will trigger the bonus rounds.
Mystery Symbol
The Wild Gang walking into the sunset is the Mystery Symbol, which can land on all the reels. After a spin has ended, any instances of the mystery symbol will all transform into a randomly selected symbol from the paytable.
The Wild Gang Slot Bonus Features
The slot game has two bonus features, the Wanted Free Spins and the Dead or Alive Free Spins, which are triggered when 3 or 4 of the scatter symbols land in the base, respectively.
Wanted Free Spins Feature
During the Wanted Free Spins feature, the Wild/Scatter symbols are always wild and will not become scatters in any situation. The first time each of the wilds land, they will carry a x2 multiplier, the 2nd time a x3 multiplier, and from the 3rd time, no multiplier. The wild multipliers get collected in a meter that carries over the whole duration of the free spins round. The multiplier in the meter starts at 1x, and it gets multiplied by any multiplier that hits and applies to the total win of all spins. If all four wilds appear twice during the round, 2 more free spins are awarded.
Dead Or Alive Free Spins Feature
This bonus round plays exactly the same as the Wanted Free Spins feature, but the values of the multipliers increase to x2 and x4, and the playfield expands to 6×4 in size for a total of 4,096 ways to win.
Bonus Buy
Players who can access the feature buy menu can purchase the Wanted Free Spins and the Dead or Alive Free Spins Feature for 80x and 200x bet, respectively.
Pros
- Two bonus rounds.
- Good jackpot size of 10,000x bet.
Cons
- Trigging the premium bonus feature could be difficult without the bonus buy option.
The Wild Gang Slot Review Final Thoughts
There are certainly worse Western themed online slots out there you could play, but The Wild Gang doesn't really bring anything new to the table with regard to bonuses and modifiers. That being said, if you can build up a decent sized multiplier in either of the features, you have a good chance of hitting a big win.
