The Wild West has long held a special place in the hearts and minds of men and women. Whether it’s the promise of freedom and the chance to rewrite your history into the story you want it to be, or a longing for a simpler time when all you needed was your will to succeed and good horse there has never been a stronger more widely loved ideology than that of “going out West” to seek your fortune!

In their new online progressive slot, Gunslinger: Reloaded, Play’n Go have woven together this love for freedom and the desire to seek your fortune with amazing graphics, cool features and a mesmerising soundtrack to bring you one of the best Western-themed slot machines to date.

 The Wild West Brought To Life

One of the challenges of bringing recognisable era, such as the Wild West, to life is the danger of creating a silly caricature of the subject rather than an entertaining yet true representation. Here the designers at Play’n GO earn a hat tip from us, their portrayal of the Wild West theme in Gunslinger: Reloaded is one of the best you’ll find anywhere online today.

The reels are loaded with the images you expect from a Western video slot: a tarnished sheriff’s badge, a painted portrait of your flaxen-haired sweetheart, beat up gold pans filled with nuggets and of course playing cards. While it is common practice to include the Ace, Jack, Queen and King cards as slot symbols, however, the use of aged playing cards topped with poker chips really adds to the illusion of being out West.

Special attention was paid to your high-value symbols with the Wild symbol being an ornately painted Bounty Hunter, the rearing white stallion on the Scatter pays homage to the wild horses of the West and, of course, both whiskey bottles and wanted posters make an appearance as feature symbols.

 Outlaws and Bonuses Galore!

By my pretty floral bonnet don’t you be thinking that Gunslinger: Reloaded is all sizzle and no steak, this 25 Payline, 5 Reel progressive video slot comes loaded with great value and subtle yet immersive feature gameplay.

The Bounty Hunt bonus feature is a prime example of how to draw a player into the action with some intelligent game design. To activate the feature land 3 Wanted posters on the reels and choose the varmint you intend to bring to justice – either Jessie Picket, Butch Curry or Wild Bill!

The next few screens are amazing as you treated to three scenes where different objects are slowly flying through the air at you – first whiskey bottles from an overturned table, then hunting knives are thrown at you and finally sticks of sizzling dynamite hurtle in your direction – each time you need to show off your gunslinger skills by shooting one of them out of the air.

The final showdown is three silhouetted figures escape through a doorway you need to choose one to shoot down – will you get the man you’re hunting? Only time will tell.

The Bottle Spin Free Spins feature once again sees you whipping out your trusty six-shooter to once again take down a pesky whiskey bottle. Landing 3 whiskey bottles on the reels give you the chance to pick a bottle to pop and reveal how many free spins you’ve won!

Seeing the stage curtain drop and the clunky piano music fire up as your free spins roll is very entertaining, even more so is the fact that you can trigger the Bounty Hunter feature during free spins as well as re-triggering the Bottle Spin for more free spins!

The Shoot the Cards progressive jackpot feature is seamlessly integrated into the Gunslinger: Reloaded experience. As you land poker cards on winning paylines they activate the deck of cards on the top right of the slot machine. Once all cards are activated the Shoot the Cards game is triggered.

The screen loads a top-down view of a poker table with holding a deck of cards and a revolver, you’re prompted to click to shoot the deck and the screen erupts in a flurry of cards and the sound of the revolver shooting cards down. 

When the dust settles a series of bullet ridden playing cards will show you the bonus you’ve won – if all cards contain a sheriff star then you’ll take home the progressive jackpot!
