The Wild Gang Slot Review
What do Cloud Atlas, Adaptation, Coming to America, and The Nutty Professor have in common? They’re all movies where actors play multiple roles. 🍿🎬
Not that I could stand to watch the last two – they might’ve been ok for the Nineties but we’ve moved on with our humor, right? 😜
I mention this because The Wild Gang slot from Pragmatic Play has characters that are both Wilds and Scatters. Much like my one ex-girlfriend.
I’m not a follower of star signs but let me tell you, they were right on the money with Geminis. Can you say multiple personalities? 👯♀️ The only plus side was that I never felt the need to cheat because it was like dating a harem of women. Not always sane ones, though…
Gameplay
The Wild West was a time of hard drinking, fighting, and loose women – or as I like to call it, Saturday night at my house.
Pragmatic has created a highly detailed scene for us in The Wild Gang slot, but it’s not something we haven’t seen before; the 6-reel grid sits in the middle of a Western town.
What is different from the norm is that there are 2,304 ways to win in this game but this can increase to 4,096 during the Dead or Alive Free Spin round.
The high volatility rate matches the often dangerous lifestyle them fellas had to endure. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. comes in at 96.20%, and the only currency you can’t play with is the Japanese yen.
Symbol-wise you’ll see a sheriff’s badge, a six-shooter, a knife, a whiskey bottle, and some ornate cowboy boots. Play your cards right and you could land the 10,000x multiplier for a win worth an astonishing €400,000! Yeee-hawwww!
Features
WILDS THAT ARE ALSO SCATTERS:
At some point, you’ll see 4 gun-totin’ varmints; these characters are Wilds and also Scatters. They’ll appear on reels 2 to 5.
If you see them only on reels 2 or 3 in the base game, then they’ll function as Wilds and be assigned multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 4x. These multipliers will inflate any wins from then on, and multiple Wilds will see their multipliers multiply each other. That was a tongue twister.
If 3 or 4 of these symbols appear in the base game, that’s when they’ll function as Scatters and they’ll also trigger the Free Spins round.
MYSTERY SYMBOLS:
The Mystery symbol is a silhouette of some bad hombres. Whenever it lands, all visible Mystery symbols will transform into a random symbol across the grid – but it won’t turn into Wilds or Scatters.
FREE SPINS:
This game has two types of Free Spins – Wanted and Dead or Alive, respectively – and both award 8 spins.
Wanted Free Spins:
- Nailing 3 Wild Scatters gets you entry into this round
- Wild Scatters are always Wild
- The first time a Wild appears, it will have a 2x multiplier; the next time it will be 3x; but from the third time onwards there will be no multiplier
Dead or Alive:
- Nailing 4 Wild Scatters gets you entry into this round
- The grid will change into a 6x4 configuration and this action increases the win ways to 4,096
- The first time a Wild appears, it will have a 2x multiplier; the next time it will be 4x; but from the third time onwards there will be no multiplier
The following applies to both versions: Wild multipliers are collected in a meter and carried over for the duration of the round. If you land 4 Wilds during the feature, you’ll be awarded an extra 2 spins – you can do this twice but after that, there’s no more re-triggering.
BUY BONUS:
Tired of waiting for the features to kick off? Pay 80x your bet for the Wanted Free Spins round or 200x for the Dead or Alive Free Spins feature.
Performance
The Wild Gang slot played real purty. OK, that’s maybe not the best way to put it that the game was flawless but that’s what I was getting at.
Maximum Win
Check out these numbers! A 10,000x max multiplier helps create a €400,000 top prize if you’re betting at €40 (the minimum bet is €0.20). Well, slap leather and call me a son of a gun!
Conclusion
Who doesn’t love Free Spins? And 2 is better than one in almost all scenarios – except for 2 assh*les or 2 mothers-in-law, so having two Free Spin types is a recipe for a good time. And hopefully a lucrative one.
At first blush, I was like, “OK, a Wild West-themed game with Free Spins. So what?” But if you play for a while and start nailing those Wild multipliers, especially if the win ways have been boosted to 4,096, then you can score some serious shekels.
Base game play is tedious though, with not even some animations to distract you. I tended to hop onto the Buy Bonus to get to the good stuff without having to wait. I favored the Wanted Free Spins, coz I’m a cheap bastard, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t turn a profit.
Yep, there’s not much to complain about here – certainly not the 400k you could win.
