Thunderkick, an independent slots studio, has recently introduced a new game called The Gunman of Goldwood, adding to its diverse product range that immerses players in a duel set in the American frontier.
The Gunman symbol
In this game, The Gunman serves as the highest-paying symbol, accompanied by various themed items such as revolvers, knives, and whiskey bottles. The presence of Bull skull wilds in the base game enhances the potential for wins, with different multipliers of 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x applied to combinations featuring one to four wilds.
Duel feature
The gameplay is further enriched by the Duel feature, which can be randomly triggered during any spin. When activated, symbols forming winning combinations expand to cover entire reels, leading to significantly higher payouts.
Bonus game
To access the bonus game, players need to land three to five scatters, which rewards them with an initial 8 to 16 free spins. Throughout this bonus round, the Duel feature remains active, enlarging winning combinations, and a wild symbol is randomly added to reels two to four before each spin, thereby increasing potential wins.
Retrigger the bonus
Players have the opportunity to retrigger free spins by landing an additional three to five scatters, which can help them reach the game’s maximum win potential of 7,500x the bet. In regulated markets where permissible by law, players can access various Ante Bet and Bonus Buy options.
With The Gunman of Goldwood, Thunderkick continues to expand its portfolio, demonstrating its dedication to offering top-notch gaming experiences that blend entertainment with exciting winning potential.
Johannes Polbring, Product Owner at Thunderkick, said:
The Gunman of Goldwood is the first game I have created from scratch at Thunderkick, and I am incredibly happy with the end product.
The slot breathes new life into a classic theme, with the Duel feature and base game multiplier Wilds promising anticipation and immersion from the outset. The features are strong and proven, however, the combination feels new and exciting.”
I look forward to seeing how players respond to the game, and I am optimistic it will perform well and drive engagement on behalf of Thunderkick’s operator partners.”
Review Overview
Summary
The Gunman of Goldwood slot is another wild west themed game with 5 reels of 3 rows and 10 fixed pay lines. Set over a dusty wooden town we get the expected symbols and sound effects here and symbols may be stacked with 5-of-a-kinds paying 50x bet down to 2x and Wilds can appear on a maximum of 4 reels, each one doubling the line pay so 16x is possible. A random duel feature can trigger before the reels spin whereby any winning line will expand therefore effectively paying at 10x but note, only symbols on the pay line will expand and not other similar symbols in view. Your 3, 4 or 5 bell scatters will earn 8, 12 or 16 free games respectively where the duel feature is active every spin plus a random Wild is placed somewhere on reel 2, 3 or 4 each spin. You can retrigger them to get more gold for your gunman.
