Wild West is a colourful 10-payline video slot running on the NextGen Gaming software platform. The symbol featuring a Cowboy is wild and the Chipstack symbol is the scatter. Players can try this slot on this page for free or select any of the listed NextGen Gaming casinos to play the game for real money.
To join cowboys and cowgirls in their saloon, players should regulate their bet first. The coin value ranges from 0.01 to 2, which can be adjusted by clicking the red and blue arrows beneath the coin symbol. Clicking the coins wagers the maximum bet. To start spinning the reels, players should push the green triangle “Spin” button. To spin the reels multiple times without interruption, players need to click the green “Autoplay” button to its left.
Clicking on the chip button featuring the heart and clubs leads players to the Gamble round. If they guess the colour of the face-down card correctly, their sum is doubled. Guessing the suit quadruples the winnings. Wrong guesses, however, lead to the loss of the amount. To leave the feature on their own, players can press “Take Win” and save their winnings.
When the Cowboy symbol is in a win, 5 Free Games are activated. Re-triggered Free Games are played after the first round ends. Each Chipstack symbol that appears awards the Chip Prize.
To acquire larger winnings and multipliers, players can choose Super Bet, essentially multiplying wilds by x2 or x5.

Aah, what a nice peaceful cowboy town in the Wild West! No red Indians around, no gun-slinging outlaws to be found. Walk into the saloon and you'll see a cowboy, Mr Moneybag, sitting at a table, arm folded, his palm to this face, and looking at you as you walk in. By the Poker table, a horse is holding some cards in its hoof, smiling and looking very happy. Must be winning, that horse. By the bar, a voluptuous lady drinks her beer alone. Hmm, maybe you should go and join her? Yeah, why not!
Everything is very nicely presented in modern cowboy cartoon style, I must say, and I like what I'm seeing, well, especially that lady of course, cartoon or not! In real life, I would join her for a drink. In Wild West, I'll just have to stick to my spins. Hehehe. That Cowboy is the Wild symbol. He doesn't pay, doesn't double, doesn't expand, doesn't move, kinda dumb isn't he, but he awards 5 free spins with any win on any payline. Now this is certainly a new twist that I haven't come across before. All you need is just one Cowboy with a win to get 5 free spins. Hmm, quite interesting!
What about what I can win? Hmm. That Cowboy is dumb, but I already told you that, the Lady pays 1000x, that poker-playing Horse pays 200x, the Saloon pays 150x, same with the Money Bag, and the rest pays 100x, all per line bet. From what I can see, no possible big win you can get! That Bottle by the side? That's the SuperBet, telling you that you can win 2x or 10x with the SuperBet. Well, I've tried it, I've got bitten by it, so you better forget it! Hehehe.
In the Free Spins game, every new win with that Cowboy adds another 5 more free spins. How many times you can get, I don't know, but I got only 5 more spins. During these free spins, a Chipstack can randomly appear anywhere on the reels, and this is the Scatter symbol. What you had won with that Cowboy is what each Scatter will pay you. This can be small, but this can be big too, especially if you got 5-of-a-kind with the Cowboy to get the Free Spins game. Oh yes, one more thing. That Wild Cowboy isn't so wild, if you must know, because he only appears on reels 3, 4 and 5. His legs just cannot reach reels 1 and 2, don't ask me why! Hahaha.
Well, honestly speaking, the novelty of the game kept me interested for a while, until I realised how difficult it was to get any wins to go wild. Every win was merely 'hmm', 'hmm' and 'hmm'. Hardly any "oooh", or "aaah", or "hehehe". Bet you don't know where those came from, hah? Just like that game, this Wild West game is the same too. It's saying "Aloha!" Hahaha.
