wild west duels slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

We couldn’t really write about Wild West-themed slots without talking about NetEnt’s Dead or Alive, but the game is getting a little long in the tooth now – even the best games get old eventually! Sure, we have Dead or Alive 2, and its enormous jackpot is likely to keep that in people's favourite lists for some time to come, but the feature set is looking a little dated in comparison to games such as Wilds of the West or Big Time Gaming’s recent Outlaw Megaways. So does the game need to be packed with features to make it worth playing? I would usually argue not, but spending a little time playing this release can make you doubt that view – all three of the special features in Wild West Duels are exciting, fun and provide a good amount of variety that should keep players coming back to this game for some time.

Great features then, but how does it pay? With 3,125 payways, there is only so much that a developer can do in terms of regular paytable wins. There are five high-paying outlaw character symbols, the most valuable of which will pay you 20x the total bet for a full payway of five of a kind. Two more share equal payouts of 10x for all five symbols, with the remaining two having equal values of 5x for a complete payway. The low pays include a cowboy hat, boots, canteen, bandana, and a wanted poster, and all five of them have identical returns at 1x for a five of a kind combination. 

Pragmatic Play has not fallen into the anti-player trap of limiting the available wager options in their slots (yet!), so you are free to choose any bet amount between the minimum of €0.20 and the maximum €100.00 per spin. There's a really good spread of stakes between these two amounts, so finding a bet size to play at that is comparable to your bankroll shouldn't be an issue.

base game & modifiers

The first thing you will see after loading Wild West Duels is a 5x5 reel set. This is on the large side for a regular payday-based machine and results in a huge total of 3,125 payways. That may not sound like much compared to a Megaways slot, for example, but this is still a rare configuration in the current market.

All symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. Whilst the numbers shown on the paytable may not seem immediately impressive, it’s important to note that not only do the symbols appear in stacks on all reels but their returns can also be multiplied by up to 100x if a wild symbol appears as part of the winning combination.
