The Old West always makes an excellent theme – be it for books, movies, computer games or, as in this case, an online slot. Play N Go have come up with the goods here with Cowboy Treasure, a great-looking game with a fairly standard bonus feature but one which also gives the player a chance to win a progressive jackpot.

Cowboy Treasure has five reels and only five paylines, an unusual occurrence in these days of forty or fifty lines and it’s all set against the backdrop of an appropriate desert environment. The higher value symbols here are theme-related items such as whisky, a bucking horse, a treasure chest, a steam train and two cowboys.

The gold sheriff’s badge is wild, the revolver is the bonus symbol and when you make it to the feature there are two extra wilds – a horseshoe and a stack of coins. Those wilds are stacked when active.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

Up to fourteen spins are available in this game and they are triggered in the following way:

• Three bonus symbols – 7 spins
• Four bonus symbols – 9 spins
• Five bonus symbols – 14 spins

As stated above, the extra stacked wilds appear for the duration of this feature and before the spins start you will get the chance to pick a symbol. If that symbol appears more times than any other during the spins the bonus will be repeated but with one extra spin.

Gamble Feature

Play N Go have their own version of this wager and if you’d like to gamble your most recent win, just choose the ‘Double Up’ or ‘Triple Up’ options which will be flashing at the bottom of the screen. There’s a 50/50 chance to double your winnings or a 1 in 3 chance to triple them.

Progressive Jackpot

Some of the symbols have attached to them a gold ring and landing three four or five of these rings anywhere on the reels will trigger the jackpot game:

• Three Gold Rings – Bronze Wheel & Tasty Jackpot
• Four Gold Rings – Silver Wheel & Luxury Jackpot
• Five Gold Rings – Golden Wheel & Dream Chance Jackpot

Even if you only land three rings, it’s possible to progress through to the Golden Wheel by hitting the correct segment on the lesser reels.

If you’re bet level is less then 0.10 the progressive jackpot will not be active and rings will act as scatter symbols.

Cowboy Treasure Online Slot Playing Tips

Make sure you’re playing with the appropriate bet if you want to have a chance of winning the big bucks and don’t be tempted to use the gamble feature too often; it’s the road to ruin and the odds are stacked against you.

Verdict

Good game this – despite only having five paylines there’s plenty of action here, a nice feature with a interesting twist and a tempting progressive jackpot. Of course there’s also an entertaining Western soundtrack.
