The slot is very traditional but avoids falling into the generic category thanks to the production values, which are as high as we have come to expect from Wizard Games. We loved the randomly triggered re-spins, which adds an underlying sense of excitement to every spin and helps tickle the tastebuds ahead of the excellent Free Spins Bonus. Sitting somewhere between a standard free spins game and a Hold and Spin round, the feature does a great job of ramping up the anticipation and win potential. These Wild West Ways are well worth a visit!

Wild West Ways Slot Features

Wild Symbols

Golden “W” Wilds may appear on any reel and substitute for all standard symbols to help create winning combinations.

Random Re-Spins

This feature may randomly kick into gear following any winning spin. All instances of the symbol involved in the previous win lock into place and become the Sticky Symbols for the bonus game, before your three re-spins begin.

During this feature, only Sticky Symbols or Blanks may land.

Following the final re-spin, winning lines are calculated and shot into your balance.

Stake Boost

Selecting this option from the left of the reels will increase the cost per spin by 25% but boosts your chance of triggering the Free Spins Bonus.

Free Spins Bonus

Landing three, four, or five Sheriff Badge Scatters anywhere on the reels will see you awarded seven, 10, or 15 free spins.

Before free spins begin, a symbol is randomly selected to act as the Sticky Symbol throughout the round. During free spins, only Sticky Symbols, Wilds, Sheriff Badge Scatters, or Blanks may land.

Sheriff Badge Scatters are also sticky during the round, and whenever they appear, your free spins tally increases by two. Collect three Scatters and an extra row will be added to the grid - after this point, no new Scatters will land.

Bonus Buy

Players in eligible jurisdictions (not available to UK players) may skip the waiting and move straight into the Free Spins Bonus via one of two Bonus Buy options:

Option 1: Costs 85x the total bet and awards a random seven, 10, or 15 Free Spins Bonus.
Option 2: Costs 155x the total bet and awards a random seven, 10, or 15 Free Spins Bonus, with a guaranteed medium of high-value Sticky Symbol.

Our Verdict: There’s plenty to make you shout Yee-haw in a Bonus Round which takes the excitement of the Random Re-spins feature and ramps it up a notch or two. Just how exhilarating the round becomes is, however, a little dependent upon the choice of Sticky Symbol. That said, the mini re-triggers and expanding grid mean that decent wins are possible even with a low-value Sticky Symbol.

Wild West Ways Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.10%	Yes	Medium

The top-end return to player (RTP) percentage of 96.10% is a whisker above the industry average RTP of 96%.

Wild West Ways sits squarely in the medium volatility category of games. You should expect a few ups and downs, but nothing like the rollercoaster of a high-volatility release.

Our Verdict: At 96.10%, the game represents solid value for money. However, this is a variable RTP release with alternative lower settings of 94.01% and 91.06% also available. We would always recommend consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. You expect a little risk in the land of the gunslingers, but the Random Re-spins feature helps create a nicely balanced experience and a good example of a medium volatility release.

Wild West Ways Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

The production team have created a picturesque interpretation of the Old West - all blue skies, wispy clouds, rolling tumbleweed, and classic wooden establishments. The beautifully illustrated game symbols add further to the vibe. The high-paying characters and special symbols steal the show, but even the playing card values are displayed in an unmistakably Western font.

Wild West Ways (Wizard Gaming) 1 — Winning combination

Wild West Ways (Wizard Gaming) 2 — Wild symbol winnings

Wild West Ways (Wizard Gaming) 3 — Base game spins

Audio

The soundtrack provides a high-octane take on the familiar Western theme – more riding into a gunfight than taking a gentle stroll down Main Street. A wandering Steel guitar drives the action, complemented by light percussion and drum flourishes. The reel effects are also nicely chosen; Wilds click like a cocked gun, whilst bullet flourishes greet bigger wins.

Our Verdict: Overall, the audio and visuals deliver just what you would expect of a Western-themed release, but everything is presented to a very high standard and gives off a strong spit-and-sawdust vibe.

Wild West Ways Slot on Mobile

Wizard Games has ensured that desktop players and mobile slot fans can sample the dusty delights of this release. Android, iOS, and Windows users will find all the gameplay and features intact on their small-screen devices.
