Ride em Cowboy Introduction
Ride em Cowboy is an online pokie from Habanero with a novel rodeo theme. A rodeo can be an exciting - albeit dangerous - event, and this game aims to replicate that excitement in the form of the chance to win big prizes from the comfort of your own home. The graphics are bright and clean, with large, colourful symbols and clear text that makes it easy to keep track of key information.
As with several other Habanero pokies, sound and effects are minimal and used sparingly, mainly for reel spins and wins.
Prize Table
This game features five reels and up to 25 paylines for you to select. A number of regular prizes are awarded to lucky players for successful two, three, four and five-of-a-kind symbol matches on active paylines. Additionally, there is also a bonus game mode with free spins and a multiplier, plus a special progressive jackpot. The most valuable regular symbol on the prize table is the picture of the lady.
Find five of these on an active payline, and the game will reward you with a massive top prize of 10,000 coins. After that comes the clown symbol, which awards a considerably smaller maximum prize of 2,500 coins. At the other end of the table are the lasso, cowboy boot and spur symbols. Matching five of these symbols will award a total of 100 coins.
The Cowboy
The first of the special symbols is the man with the big cowboy hat. This only appears on reels two, three and four and is a substitute symbol, which means that it can be used to substitute any other symbol as part of a winning combination except for scatters. As a result, this symbol can greatly increase the number of winning opportunities.
The Bull
The aforementioned scatter symbol is represented by an angry-looking bull and is the second of this game's special symbols. Finding two to five of these symbols in any configuration (regardless of the paylines that have been selected) will award a handsome prize of up to 100 coins. These prizes are then multiplied by the total bet, which can make for some massive wins, before being added to the line wins.
Additionally, the scatter symbol is the key to unlocking Ride em Cowboy's bonus round. Finding three or more bulls in any configuration will trigger the Ride em Cowboy feature, wherein one free game is awarded for every second that the cowboy manages to remain on top of the bull. This feature can be retriggered indefinitely during free spins, which means that it is possible to keep playing for many, many spins with only a single initial bet.
All free spins are played using the selected paylines and total bet of the spin that triggered the feature. Perhaps most importantly, all free spins wins are tripled!
The Special Bonus
Like a number of Habanero pokies, this game features a progressive jackpot in addition to the range of regular prizes and free spin wins. This jackpot is triggered completely at random and can be won at the end of any game.
