Review Overview
Summary
Wild West Bandits slot needs no explanation as to its theme, set in the arid background of the North American deserts. There's 5 reels of 4 rows with Wilds and top stacked bandit paying 10x bet for 5-of-a-kinds or the stacked main bandit down to 1.5x lowest royal. You get 20 fixed pay lines here and pistols can land - these leave behind a locked frame where they landed and every eighth spin those tiles will turn into Wilds before the process begins again. You really want the sheriffs badge on reels 1, 3 and 5 to change the stereotypical western guitar music into something more urgent. That's because only money value symbols and the 3 top-paying characters can appear with the stacked main bandit acting as a multiplier of 2-5x for any cash symbols landing with it, before turning into one itself. Bandit 2 acts as a collector turning into a cash value of the combined ones in view, the female bandit is a payer symbols who adds 1-10x bet to all cash bags in view. The bags land initially as 0.5 to 5x in value. Your respins reset to 3 each time a new symbol lands and end after the screen is full or the 3 lives are lost consecutively. I'm not sure you'll leave this part of the west with too much gold though.
