When it comes to Wild West-themed slots, you can have quite a varied experience playing online. The special features and payline structures vary wildly, but the overall imagery tends to remain the same in each slot. It is no surprise that this is where we find ourselves with Microgaming’s new addition to the Wild West slot genre, as Showdown Saloon debuts at online casino sites this week.
About the slot
Showdown Saloon features the basic gaming structure which is becoming quite popular in modern slots once more. There are 15 of those paylines spanning the 5 reels of this slot, and they are cemented in place. Players can, however, alter their bets. Ultimately, they are going to be looking at bets which range from 0.20 per spin up to 100.00 a game, with the non-progressive jackpot capped at 1,000x the stake.
Bonus features
From an imagery and graphics point of view, everything is as you would expect. The same types of symbols appear on the reels of this slot as they do on other Wild West slots, just as we’ve said. However, there are few nifty features which are original.
A Mystery Stacks feature can see stacked mystery symbols transform into one particular symbol. A re-spin feature can also be triggered if players land full stacked symbols on the second, third and fourth reels. In that feature, the mystery symbols remain locked on the reels.
A free spin bonus has also been included in this game, and it is triggered when 3 or more stacked symbol reels occur on the first to third reels. The bonus is straightforward enough, although the re-spin feature can also be triggered during the free spin bonus.
Showdown Saloon should now be available to play at all leading casinos offering slots and casino games from Microgaming.
