Slot Features
Wild symbol can substitute for all the other symbols in the game to help you form winning combos. Once a win is formed, with or without Wild, the symbols involved in the win will disappear and the remaining symbols will drop to the bottom to make room for new symbols.
Trail and Wins
When a new game starts the Wanted Poster will show up at the end of the trail above the grid. The award on the poster will be set as the new trail award that you will win if you complete the trail. Each winning combo will light up the Arrow on the trail, and the moment you land a non-winning spin the trail will reset back to the starting point, and if you reach the end of the trail, the award on the poster is yours.
It is possible that with every new game the trail length will change whereas the minimum count of positions is 2 and the maximum is 5 positions. The trail however will not be present during won features.
Trail Features
Wild Shot is represented by a gun on the Wanted poster and if won, it will add a number of Wilds to the reels. Once they all get added and wins are paid, there is a chance that the bonus will repeat. Wild Whip is represented by a whip on the Wanted poster and it will add Wilds in random positions while the reels are spinning.
Wild Dreams is represented by a cloud on the Wanted poster and it will pick a symbol that will turn all matching instances into Wild symbols. Wild Dynamite is represented with the dynamite on the Wanted poster that, when triggered, will explode and add a Colossal Wild to the grid.
Free Spins
Free Spins are also won through the trail, and once won the feature will start. Free Spins will have stacked symbols which will increase your chances of forming winning combos. Once Free Spins are triggered, you will get 5 spins and a chance of having the Cowboy shoot the trail making it shorter and enabling you to win additional 5 spins even faster.
Summary
A Fistful of Wilds looks fairly decent. It is simple but the artwork is really cool and sharp with some non-intrusive animation. In terms of gameplay, well let’s say it is fairly interesting and fun with a lot of pretty good opportunities to reach the max potential that goes somewhat over x9000 the bet. We would’ve maybe liked for this one to have a somewhat bigger RTP, but this certainly does not diminish the slot’s overall value.
