Reel Outlaws Slot

At some point, “Betsoft Gaming” bent to produce slots with complex 3D animations and special features quite novel, but before that happened their games used to be a bit simpler, but no less attractive and interesting; just that I think it is the case of “Reel Outlaws,” a slot that attracts at first sight mainly because its theme is based on the Old West, and honestly, I think there are few the gamblers who refuse to the risk and raw emotions that normally you can see in movies and games of this genre.

As for the layout, this slot has 5 reels and 3 rows and it is provided with 9 paylines, a wild symbol that works as a substitute for standard symbols, and a bonus round where you have to shoot at bottles and which we can get access after getting 3+ special symbols identified with the logo of the game, and the rule is that such symbols can be anywhere on the reels as long as they are located on the same active payline in order to trigger the round; in this slot there are also scatter symbols that generate payouts according to the terms of the pay table, but don’t trigger any round. Moreover, this game lacks a round of free spins, and being objective, I believe that a feature like this would be convenient for a slot with so few lines like this.

I think “Reel Outlaws” is a slot of medium volatility, and the strategy used by Betsoft to make it a more dynamic game, has been set up most of its symbols to generate payouts for lines from 2 of a kind on, hence this game in any way should be considered as boring; however, achieving combinations of 4 and especially of 5 of a kind, it is a challenge, but if you do, the prize for any line of 5 of a kind is much bigger than the biggest prize you can get for your best bonus round, which does not exceed 11x your total bet.

Indeed, during my last session with this slot, I had a couple of big wins, the first came from a line of 5 of a kind achieved with seven symbols and the second also 5 of a kind with the symbol of cactus; both they were vital to leave the game with some profits in my pocket since profits made by shooting bottles were needed to help sustain my balance, but they were not exactly relevant; and frankly, it could not have been accomplished without these couple of hits of 5 of a kind; but as I was not finally defeated by the game, I think my concept of this slot is a little better than it would of an average slot, and ultimately, I think “Reel Outlaws” is a game that could be used to meet wagering requirements, and preferably always using low stakes because its performance seems to be better at these levels.

Reel Outlaws is a little, cute slot created in Wild Western style. This could be the prototype of the slogan ‘Its greatness in its simplicity’. It very reminds me of a video game from my childhood, especially the bonus round. Probably, this is one of the reasons why I like this machine – good, old memories. Anyway, no story, no animation, no cowboy depicting characters, just the game but it’s all right for me.

With sheriff badge, boots, gun, cactus symbols the game looks good and with Wilds players can get some profits too as it rewards maximum x2000. The little bonus game shows itself if 3 or more bonus figures are pulled out on an active line where players have to shoot the whisky bottles down. There are 6 bottles and one of them ends the side game immediately. During this stage, every successful shot are accompanying with the famous song from ‘The good, the bad and the ugly’.

5 Scatters are also can be a good boost for the balance when the total bet is multiplied by 500 times. This is the thing I’ve never seen, I don’t mean 5 of them but I didn’t see even 3 scatters. The slot doesn’t offer free spins feature.

I usually don’t play with the game too long. I barely spend more than a half hour here, rather I use it for rapid visits but sometimes it’s worth to pop up. I always diversify my bets from $0.90-$2.25 and from time to time I got some better paying 5 of a kind wins and gain $60-$80 that’s exactly usable for a little longer run on other games. My biggest win was a $150 prize when 5 badges formed a good line for $1.80.

It’s really a good, mini game with minimal style. Obviously, it can’t be expected from a 9-payline slot with limited features to be a rival for some big guns slots but those who don’t always want to or like the more complicated machines and don’t mind to not have a chance such incredible amounts like the others offers, Reel Outlaws can be a good choice.
