Dusk has settled over a frontier town in Western Ways. On the left a saloon glows with warm windows, a timber water tower rises to the right, under a purple and tangerine sky. In the middle, the reels are a set of dark green planks held in a rugged timber frame. The opening balance is $1,000.00 with a $1.00 stake, so every pay value below is quoted at that single dollar.
Theme and Gameplay
Outlaw props fill every pay slot. Leading the table, a gilded six-shooter with a scarlet rag on the grip is worth 5x for three, 50x for four and 100x for five. The purple-masked bandit on a Wanted poster follows with 3x, 25x and 50x, then a sheriff badge with 2x, 10x and 25x, and a cowboy hat with 1.2x, 5x and 15x. Spurred boots pay 0.8x, 2x and 10x, a blue horseshoe 0.4x, 1x and 5x, and red dynamite sticks 0.2x, 0.5x and 2x. The art is chunky and glossy.
Slot Features
A run does not have to start on the first reel: connections may begin on reel 1, 2 or 3, so a three-symbol match on reels 2, 3 and 4 pays, while symbols split by a different one do not.
The Gold Train is the scatter, and one can appear on each of the five reels in any mode. Land three, four or five of them and you collect 2x the base stake plus 12, 18 or 24 free spins. Inside free spins, three or more trains pay 2x again and add 12 more spins. Scatter wins are never multiplied. Four retriggers at most are allowed, and the spin totals top out at 60 spins for the normal round, 66 for Super and 72 for Extreme. A retrigger leaves you in whichever tier you began.
The multiplier is what makes the spins interesting. It starts at 1x and climbs by 1x after every spin, losing spins included, and it stays alive through retriggers. The 12-spin and 18-spin rounds each promise at least ten times the base bet across the whole bonus.
Tapping Bonus brings up the mode menu. A standard spin is priced at 1x your bet, whereas Extra Chance is priced at 3x and gives a better chance at three or more scatters. Gold Train Free Spins can be bought for 100x with 12 spins, Super Gold Train costs 250x for 18 spins, and Extreme Gold Train costs 500x for 24 spins, all using the same rising multiplier.
RTP and Win Potential
The quoted 96.00% applies to every mode, and the 40,000x ceiling is the same for each one. No volatility rating comes with the game.
My Thoughts On This Slot
The multiplier that grows on every spin is the highlight, since a dead spin never resets your progress. With no Wilds at all, ordinary spins lean on the scatter. The Extra Chance and buy tiers can also get costly, so keep your stake sensible.
