Wild West Introduction
Wild West is an online pokie from NextGen Gaming, which offers players a great online gaming experience. With a quirky theme, multiplied wins and a generous free spins round, it isn’t hard to see why Wild West continues to be one of the most popular titles from NextGen.
Theme
Wild West takes place in the kind of saloon that you would encounter in any Western action film. The graphics are designed in a quirky and cartoony art style which makes for a fun gaming experience. Symbols include bottles of alcohol, saloon girls, cowboy boots, horses and stacks of money.
When you spin the reels, a catchy little country-western theme song plays and any symbol that are involved in winning combinations are filled with bullet holes. These are all great details that really enhance the design and look of the game.
Format
There are 11-paylines in Wild West, so players have many different ways to win. Since the game has fewer paylines than your average modern pokie, players can also afford to spend a bit more per line to activate some bigger and better wins. A wide range of bets are available, from 1c to $2 per line. With just a $22 maximum bet, the game will certainly appeal to players who are on a budget.
After any winning combination is made, the player can click the Gamble button to potential multiply their win. If they guess the colour correctly, they will double their prize. If they guess the suit correctly, they will quadruple their winnings. If players are successful, they can continue to guess and multiply their prize. If not, they will lose all of their winnings.
SuperBet
Like most games from NextGen, Wild West offers a SuperBet option. Usually, the SuperBet will add wilds to the reels – but Wild West is somewhat different. Instead of adding wilds to reels, the SuperBet increases the multiplier on all wins. There are three SuperBet options:
- SuperBet Off: 10-coin wager and no multiplier
- SuperBet x2: 20-coin wager and a 2x multiplier on all wins that include a wild symbol
- SuperBet x5: 50-coin wager and a 5x multiplier on all wins that include a wild symbol
With extra multipliers on the reels, the base game of Wild West becomes even more volatile and wins are much easier to come by. If your budget will accomodate it, it is certainly worth giving the SuperBet option a spin.
Free Spins Round
When the cowboy symbol appears in a winning combination, the player will receive 5 free spins. This is quite different to most free spins rounds, as only a single symbol is needed to trigger the bonus. Normally, three or more scatters must trigger the bonus - so, it should be easier to come by the free spins round in Wild West from NextGen Gaming.
During this round, the player can receive an additional free spins to keep the bonus round going. If the SuperBet was activated when the bonus round was triggered, then multipliers will be applied any winning combinations that include wilds.
