Play Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist for Free

Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist™ is a 5 reel, 3 row, 10 fixed payline video slot with free spins, four wild features and a bonus round. It is a HTML5 video slot, keeping Netent's high standard of graphics and animations. The background is desert style and features a passing train, which fittingly includes a six-shooter barrel as the spin button. The bet level, coin value and auto-spin setting is clear and concise, although NetEnt has opted for fixed paylines.

Low paying symbols are commonly known card symbols such as clubs, hearts, spades and diamonds, while high paying symbols are the four rogues and the wild symbol. Scatters are big yellow 7s that appear on all reels, and bonus symbols are safes that land only on reels 1, 3 and 5. Pretty simple and straightforward.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

NetEnt has developed another game that will take you to the Wild West. As the symbols of the slot show, the slot is set in the Wild West. There are cacti in the background, and the slot itself is designed to look like the back of a train. As you spin the reels of this slot, you'll hear music that keeps you entertained with a fast-paced rhythm. The graphics are stunning and are displayed in excellent resolution, making it easy for players to load and play the game. This game can be played directly from your Web browser, so you will not need to download any software. If you value flexibility and independence, you'll be happy to hear that this slot is also mobile playable, so you can play it on the go. This is the right game for you if you are looking for a medium variance slot machine. It pays out regularly between spins, but you will have to wait for the big wins. The Great Train Heist is recommended for all players, new and experienced alike.

Gameplay

When you play Wild Wild West for the first time, you will encounter a lady and four thieves. These symbols represent the normal winning symbols of the slot. Wins vary depending on the symbol and the frequency with which it appears on a payline. Matching five of these symbols will give you a maximum payout of 500 coins, while three of them will give you a minimum payout of 15 coins. A spade, a heart, a cross and a diamond make up the second group of symbols in this field. These symbols represent the low paying symbols of the slot. Wins vary depending on the symbol and the number of times it appears on the payline. A maximum of 100 coins is paid for 5 matching symbols, while a minimum of 5 coins is paid for 3 matching symbols. In order to redeem the prizes of this slot, you must first choose your preferred bet. To do this, use the buttons at the bottom of the slot to change the bet level and coin value. The bet level can be between 1 and 10 and the coin value can be between 0.01 and 1.

Free Spins Bonus Round

Since the maximum payout for this slot is only 50x bet, it needs the help of the free spins bonus round to increase the potential for super mega wins. As the wild selection for the free spins is an expanding wild, this is also the only chance to reach the maximum payout for this slot, which is a relatively modest 500x stake. Not particularly high, but regularly achievable.

When 3, 4 or 5 scatters land anywhere on the screen, the bonus round is triggered, awarding 10, 20 or 30 free spins with unlimited retriggers. The wild selection wheel appears first with four possible wild features for the free spins. These are Regular Wild, Expanding Wild, X2 Multiplier Wild, Spreading Wild. After you click stop, the wheel randomly stops on one of the features, which will be active throughout the Free Spins.

Additionally, during Free Spins, a Overlay Wild symbol will randomly appear on reels 1 - 3 in each spin and works just like the active Wild feature. This gives the slot the highest potential when the selector result is the Expanding Wild and you hit multiple Wilds on the front reels. Having a wild on all the reels would lead to the highest payout on this slot, which is a total of 10x 5OAK wilds on a 50x bet, which is the equivalent of 500x bet.

Pick and Click Bonus Feature

The feature is the less desirable bonus on this slot, as the possible payout is only between 5x - 50x bet. Not outstandingly high, but OK to keep you hooked. Hitting the three safe symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 will activate the bonus and you only have to select once to get the win. As a check, the other two numbers are displayed after the selection, which can either be annoyance because the lowest number was selected, or a sigh of relief because you chose the highest prize.

Conclusion

Although the game seems to be very entertaining and graphically well done, we don't think it will bring in big wins on a regular basis. On top of that, the highest single line win is only 50x bet, a far cry from similar 10 line games like Book of Ra / Book of Dead with 500x bet. But these are very high variance games and sure balance killers if they don't work, whereas Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist™ has more of a low to medium variance, giving the player less potential for big wins but longer lasting entertainment.
