Wild Wild West is no longer available for real play at Wombat Casino. Have you tried Wild Wild Chest from Red Tiger Gaming?
The wombat says: Saddle up boys and girls and grab your pistols! We’re heading back in time to Frontierland.
Ever fancied yourself as an outlaw? Spent a bit of time on the Judge Dredd slot have we? Handy with a gun and robbing steam trains like it was your job?
Then those geniuses at NetEnt (those people behind the Divine Fortune slot) have come up with the goods just for you with Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist.
Look and Feel
The graphics are awesome here, with their comic strip-style illustrations and stylish animation. In fact, we haven’t seen a slot this beautiful since Jungle Spirit Call of the Wild. The super fast reels are set on a steam train itself, while a cacti-littered desert landscape makes up the background. This wombat especially loves the slot’s soundtrack, which mixes the traditional ‘toot toot’ noises of an old locomotive, with some Western Johnny Cash-sounding tunes.
Wild Wild West Game Play
The Wild Wild West slot: The Great Train Heist is the usual NetEnt formula; a 5 reel, 3 row slot with 10 paylines. Your symbols on the reels include the 4 gang members; a gun-toting senorita who takes no sh*t, a scar-faced youth ready for a saloon brawl, one-eyed Bill with his sinister cigar and eye patch, and a big guy with a handlebar moustache and even bigger machete…
These train robbers are your high value symbols, and each icon is worth between 500 and 200 coins for 5x. Add to these the Heart, Diamond, Club and Spade icons all intricately designed to look like the barrel of a gun, and you have your low value symbols.
The wild in the game is the orange and purple ‘Wild’ symbol, and it will substitute for everything (except the Lucky 7 Scatter) in the base game. Although it will come into its own during the Free Spins Bonus.
Wild Wild and more Wilds!
Just like the name suggests, this slot really is all about Wilds. And it has 4, yes, 4, different types of Wild features that can be played during Free Spins round.
The Free Spins are triggered by landing 3x or more of the Lucky 7 Symbols anywhere in the reels. 3x, will give you 10 Free Spins, 4x, will dish out 20, and 5x of the Lucky 7 Scatters will mean 30 Free Spins. Yeeee Haa! Then it’s time to spin the Wild West Selector wheel, and play with whichever Wild option it lands on:
Regular Wild
This will do the job of a normal wild. Simple yet effective.
Expanding Wild
Your Wild will stack, expand and stick across a whole reel. Which, if you get lucky like we did, and score 2 Wilds in a row, can be very profitable…
X2 Multiplier Wild
Any wins that include a Wild Symbol are multiplied by 2. Cheers NetEnt!
Spreading Wild
This cheeky little Wild will transform neighbouring symbols into Wilds too, and can spread up, down or diagonally.
Pick and Click Bonus
Keep your eyes peeled for the Golden Safe Bonus symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5. Land 3x of these and you’ll set off the Pick and Click bonus. You pick one of the safes on the reels, it explodes open, and adds a nice cash prize to your coffers… Easy money.
Conclusion
A great-looking game with nice sound effects that is very slick to play. But it’s not just style over substance – as we had several ‘big wins’ and a ‘mega win’ during the Free Spins round. The choice of 4 Wilds options makes for fun and fruitful spins. Ride ’em cowboy! Looks great on mobiles and tablets too.
Wombat score: 5/5
It’s a Yeeehhhaaaa from us
