Weight of the Gun Slot Overview

Weight Of The Gun sees top online slot developer Lady Luck Games don their cowboy hat and take a trip to the Wild West. The game takes place on a classic high street from the age of the outlaws, whilst an unmistakably Western-style soundtrack helps to set the scene. Those riding into town to take this slot for a spin will find plenty of entertainment on offer, in a game featuring Wilds, a Free Spins Bonus, and a “Pick and Win” style bonus game.

As is always the case with releases from this developer, the audio and visuals are of the highest quality, and do a great job of transporting your back to the gold rush era.

Weight of the Gun Slot Paylines

Here's a guide to all the paylines available in Weight of the Gun slot:

Weight of the Gun Slot Features

Wild Symbols

Snake Wild symbols may appear on any reel and substitute for all regular symbols to help create winning combos.

Gamble Feature

For those cowboys and cowgirls not satisfied with their winnings, the game offers the chance to go for broke in an optional gambling game.

Simply guess red or black to double what you have won, or predict the correct card suit to quadruple your loot.

This game is available following all wins of 100x or less, and you may gamble up to four times per winning spin - but choose carefully, as should you guess incorrectly at any stage, you will lose your winnings for that spin.

Weight of the Gun Slot Bonus Features

weight of the gun free spins — Free Spins Bonus

weight of the gun cowboy bonus — Cowboy Bonus

The base game rolls along at a decent pace but is very straightforward. However, the overall experience is greatly enhanced by the presence of not one, but two, bonus features.

Free Spins Bonus

Keep your eyes peeled for the Sheriff’s Badge Scatter symbols - landing three or more of these will trigger the Free Spins Bonus.

3x Scatters = 10 free spins
4x Scatters = 12 free spins
5x Scatters = 15 free spins

Free spins take place on the same set of reels as the base game, with no additional symbols or features. However, you may at least be granted the opportunity to extend your stay, as you will bag five additional spins whenever three Sheriff Badges appear on the same spin during the round.

Cowboy Bonus Game

The game’s second Scatter symbol comes in the form of a pistol-wielding cowboy and may appear only on reels one, three, or five. Hit three of these on the same spin, and it will be you firing the shots in the potentially rewarding bonus game.

This feature sees three shadowy cowboys overlaid with 12 unfortunately positioned targets. Your task is to pick three of these targets to blast with your bullets, with each target you hit revealing a cash prize!

Our Verdict: Weight of the Gun has some fun bonus features to get stuck into. The Free Spins Bonus alone gives you a sizeable 10 free spins to play with as a minimum, while the Cowboy Bonus acts as a fun mini game which turns out to be quite lucrative!

Weight of the Gun Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
95.90%	Yes	Medium

The game’s top-end Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 95.90% is almost bang on the industry-average RTP of 96%. However, you should be aware that this is a variable RTP, with alternative settings of 94% and 88% also available. The setting in use at your online casino of choice should always be listed in the information section of the game.

Weight Of The Gun sits squarely in the medium volatility category of games.

Our Verdict: It's a shame that the slot falls just short of the average RTP for slot games. The volatility offers a happy middle ground between the rollercoaster of a high-volatility game, and low-volatility slots, which many players find too light.

Weight of the Gun Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

The reels are set in front of a western-style saloon town, with the silhouette of a lone cowboy smoking a cigarette in the background. For desktop players, the camera follows your cursor around the screen to really make you feel you're in the midst of the action.

Weight of the Gun (Lady Luck Games) 1 — Wild symbol appears on the reels

Weight of the Gun (Lady Luck Games) 2 — Free spins triggered

Weight of the Gun (Lady Luck Games) 3 — Free spins awarded

Weight of the Gun (Lady Luck Games) 4 — Total win

Audio

An ominous tune plays in the background which wouldn't sound out of place in a Johnny Cash song. It really helps to build the suspense, as if you're about to witness a tense shootout. Sounds can be turned off by pressing the volume button in the bottom right corner.

Our Verdict: As we've come to expect from Lady Luck Games' slots, Weight of the Gun is a simple yet well designed slot which makes great use of its theme.

Weight of the Gun Slot on Mobile

There may not have been too many cowboys with a mobile phone in their satchel, but that doesn’t mean modern players aren’t able to enjoy this slot on the small screen. The game performs excellently on both Android and iOS powered handheld devices.
