Fistful of Dollars Introduction
Fistful of Dollars is a five-reel, 30-payline pokie from Saucify. This Wild West-themed game will transport players back to a time when men were men and women were all called Sally, apparently. You can check out this game online for yourself at Online Pokies 4U. There are lots of other free pokies here too, if gun-slingers aren’t your idea of a good time.
The Theme
There are heaps of pokies based on cowboys and Indians. This one is quite closely tied to the movie “A Fistful of Dollars”. As the name is exactly the same, it’s probably a licensed tie-in, which is token of good quality. Expect to see grisly cowboys, tough-as-old-boots sheriffs and sultry ladies wearing feathers.
How to Play
Fistful of Dollars has more than 29 possible combinations for players to land on. But as there are 30 paylines to choose from, first off you’ll need to choose your stake and which lines you want to play. Once you’re ready, just hit spin and let the reels turn.
One nice touch in this game is that all the reel symbols are theme-related. Look out for Sally the Redhead, Golden Nuggets, the Marshal Badge, the Six-Shooters, Whiskey, a Cowboy and a Horse. There are also the Cowboy Hat, Cowboy Boots and Forked Cactus. But don’t forget that Sally is the highest-paying regular symbol.
Bonus Features
The Gunfighter and the Marshal symbol is the wild, and it substitutes for all the other symbols except the scatter symbol. In this game, the wilds only appear on reel 2 and 4, but as they are expanding reels, this more than makes up for the lack of coverage. The scatter symbol in Fist Full of Dollars is the Wanted Poster. Find three or more of these across the reels to trigger the free spins feature.
You can land up to 20 free spins depending on how many Wanted Posters you find. Three scatter symbols will give you 10 free spins, four will give you 15 free spins and five scatters will award the whole 20. This is definitely a wanted feature, as all wins will take on a 4x multiplier.
Look and Feel
This game has a real movie feel to it. The graphics are stylish but somewhat toned down so as not to cause lag. Having only theme-related symbols is also a nice change, and new pokie players - those who don’t naturally associate pokies with casinos - will like this look more. The soundtrack is suitably Wild West, and the sound of falling reels is pleasant and easy.
Overall
The expanding reels make this a game to play. With no small wins from the playing cards, players will appreciate the unexpected bonuses from the expanding wilds. The return-to-player ratio is decent, and experienced players will notice this when the symbols start lining up. What’s more, with its low buy-in and multiple paylines, quick shooters can always change the stakes when they feel like the wind of change is turning their way.
