Yeeehaaaaa! How about Cowboy? NetEnt and this time their team takes us on an adventure out to the Wild West where you, together with Sweed, The Kid, Shark and One Eyed Jack, will embark on the world's biggest train robbery. The graphics you will encounter during the game are very reminiscent of almost any comic book, and with a great backstory set in the Wild West, it will be hard not to immerse yourself in the story.

It all takes place on a playing field with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines. During the game you will meet several of the symbols you know from a regular deck, and also the classic seven. In addition to these, you will also come across as we mentioned earlier Sweed, The Kid, Shark and One Eyed Jack as symbols in the game.

As usual, the different symbols generate different wins and with the right symbols you start free spins rounds or better yet, trigger the wild feature during your free spins rounds. Then you can get one of a total of four different wilds and these we will go through below under game features.

Wild Wild West

Wild Wild West-Game Features

A game can come with the most amazing graphics and story and yet not break through. The reason for this is usually that the game features themselves are not interesting. This is something that NetEnt always thinks about and this is evident with every launch as they always try to come up with innovations that improve the game, the gaming experience and the excitement. To still be able to come up with new game features after so many years, we think is incredibly impressive and the game Wild Wild West is no exception when it comes to this.

Pick and Click

Wild Wild West Free Spins On the first, third and fifth reels you have the opportunity to get this symbol. Get all three in and you trigger the so-called pick and click function. Then you have to choose one of three of these safes. The best thing about the pick and click feature is that you are always guaranteed a win. Depending on what the prize is hiding behind the safe you have chosen, you will win 5x-50x your bet.

Free spins

Wild Wild West 7 The seventh in the Wild Wild West is the scatter symbol, which means that if you get 3 or more of these, you get a certain amount of Free Spins. It is here that the game adds the highest level of excitement. The first thing that happens before you get to use your free spins is that you start a wheel of fortune that lands on one of a total of four different wild symbols that we will describe in more detail below. Depending on which one you land on, the wild symbol will have a certain feature that will help you achieve your big wins. Three symbols during a game round will give you 10 free spins. Four gives you 20 free spins and if you get all five, you have 30 Free Spins to look forward to.

Wild Substitutions

Wild Wild West One Eyed Jack This is one of our absolute favorite features of this game and will come to play a big part in how it goes when you play this game. As I said, during your free spins rounds you get one of a total of four different wild features activated during your rounds, all of which have different effects on your winnings and chances of winning. The best part is that at the beginning of each free spins round, the game selects one of the symbols before any symbol has landed there to turn the symbol into a wild symbol. What remains is to land a winning combination of symbols that go together with the wild symbol.

Wild

Wild Wild West The wild symbol is almost every player's greatest wish, isn't it? If you get it in the right place and at the right time, you have a fantastic big win to pick up. As we mentioned earlier, there are four different wilds that you can get in this game and the symbol you see on the right represents the regular wild symbol, which therefore has no effect other than what a wild symbol usually has. For those who are not fully aware of what a wild symbol does, it works much like a joker and basically replaces any other symbol, except for the scatter symbol.

Expanding Wild

Wild Wild West Expanding Wilds. Just the name makes us jump to when it was precisely through one that we got our biggest win when we Hard tested the game. When the reels start spinning and you see the cursor showing where the wild symbol starts to land, you already know in advance that it will be an expanding wild, if that's what you got onto the wheel of Fortune. This means that the entire vertical row where the symbol lands turns into wild symbols and significantly increases your chances of winning.

Double Wild

Wild Wild West 2x Wild Unfortunately, a double wild does not mean that you get two wild symbols instead of one. What happens, however, is that you double all the winnings that you get during the free spins rounds when a double wild symbol lands on the playing field. Imagine getting the maximum profit and then it doubles, just like that. Keep in mind that only the winning line of the wild symbol is doubled.

Spreading Wild

Wild Wild West Spreading Wild The spreading wild symbol works a little less predictably than the other wild symbols and is quite so random. The first wild symbol is highlighted even before the first symbols have landed so you know exactly where it will land. When the reels have finished spinning, however, you will have a wild symbol somewhere on the playing field, but this is completely random.

If you want to continue on the slightly more illegal theme, you can try Heist from Game Developer Betsoft , or Thief from Netent .
