Gunslinger's Gold Introduction
Gunslingers' Gold is a 5 reel and 15 paylines pokie from Nektan. This game is set in the old Wild West during the gold rush, and invites players to come on down and try their luck at hitting it big. Our gunslinger in this game looks like he might be in a bit of hot water too.
His wanted picture is tacked up to the side of the reels and that sheriff badge which keeps showing up isn’t a good sign either. So hopefully some pokie players will choose to help him out in this great game for online, mobile and tablet play.
The Set Up
Nektan pokies are set up a little differently to other pokie brands' offerings. To get started, you’ll need to go into the paylines and stake option and set your parameters before exiting into the live game. Once in the game, the lack of extra buttons means the screen takes on a bigger, easier to watch and simpler to use character. Just hit the spin icon, comfortably located on the right, to start the game.
The Symbols
Gunslingers' Gold uses a mixture of playing card and themed symbols to give players the chance to make combinations. In the playing cards, the symbols run from 10 to A, slowly increasing in profitability. In the themed symbols, the lowest value icon is the bag of gold, followed by the spurred boot, the sheriff’s star and the gunslinger. The big money symbol is the coin featuring the gunslinger riding off into the sunset.
Land on this 5 times to win the big jackpot. The wild in this game is a great, big horned black bull. He will substitute for any of the symbols in the game except the scatter, which lands players in the free spins round.
The Free Spins
A wanted poster featuring the free spins symbol is the thing to look out for to get into this, the only bonus feature in Gunslingers' Gold. Land 3 wanted posters or more across any of the paylines to be automatically entered into the feature. Here the spins will carry on automatically, placing bets at the stake made during the win. As this is the only bonus feature, the makers have stepped this up a little.
Every time you land more free spins they add up. The likelihood of getting a second free spin seems common here. Players need to accept the new free spins to spin on, but after that, a temporary box which shows up at the foot of the game will let you know how many free spins you’ve got left.
The Look and Feel
Although it may look different to some games powered by other makers, after a minute or two the interface and gameplay become second nature. The graphics in both the online and mobile version are sharp and clean. If you choose the backing track music, players can expect to hear a very unimposing Wild West tune played on the flute, very reminiscent of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
But with a winning payout of 96.6%, there’s nothing ugly about this nice little wild west pokies game.
