We always say that there are certain characters who will improve an online slot no matter what; pirates and vampires are a couple of examples but cowboys are also up there and that’s why we’re pleased to bring you this review of Gunslinger, a brand new game from Play N Go which is probably the most authentic Old West-themed one we’ve played. It has several bonus features and a jackpot feature to enjoy.

Gunslinger has five reels and twenty five paylines and it’s a great looking game. Through the wooden frames of the reels we can see an authentic Western town complete with dusty street and darkened wooden buildings.

One could accuse the game of using the usual boring playing card symbols for the lower values but here they are poker cards and they are an integral part of the jackpot feature – more of which later. The higher value symbols are a pair of pistols, a buxom young lady and a pouch of gold nuggets.

Bonus symbols here include Wanted posters, a bottle of whisky, a cowboy wild and a rearing horse scatter.

Bonus Features

Turn The Cards Bonus

This is a useful little feature and it’s all to do with the jackpot above the reels. Each time you make a winning combo with the playing cards, that particular card will light up and the jackpot amount will increase. When all are lit you will get to play a mini-game in which you turn over five cards to reveal cash amounts which will then be totalled for your prize.

If you can turn over five sherriff’s badges the jackpot will be yours.

Shoot A Bottle Free Spins

Landing three of the whiskey bottle symbols anywhere on the reels will reward you with a number of free spins and all wins during this phase will be doubled. It’s possible to re-trigger the spins by landing three more bottles of grog. The number of spins is determined by shooting one of the bottles.

 

Bounty Hunt Bonus

Three of the Wanted posters on an active payline will grant you this brief game – just pick one of the posters to select an opponent. First you will walk down a deserted street, shooting barrels to earn prizes. Finally you will face your opponent and you must pick which way he will move when the shootout begins. Guess right and win a multiplier for your barrel wins.

Gamble Feature

All wins can be gambled by using the ‘Gamble’ button below the reels after a payout. Try and double or quadruple your win by correctly guessing the colour or suit of the next playing card drawn.

Gunslinger Online Slot Playing Tips

If you want the best chance of triggering all the bonuses, play with as many paylines as possible; Turn The Cards and Bounty hunt are both activated with symbols on an active payline.

Verdict

This is an excellent Play N Go slot with an authentic soundtrack; there are loads of bonus features and the Turn The Cards feature makes you want to keep playing, probably long after you should have stopped. Definitely check this one out.
