The wild west is has shown to be undeniably a legendary era that has inspired the imagination of many different artists. Many films, comics or novels have staged stories that are being set in the wild west. The world of online slot machines did not escape the influence of this exciting era either. Different developers, such as Betsoft, Netent or NextGen Gaming have developed games dealing with these historical legends of the United States of America. These include The True Sheriff, Dead or Alive or Wildcat Canyon. The rest of this article is a review about the game we mentioned last, Wildcat Canyon developed by Nexgen Gaming.

Overview

Using 5 reels and 25 paylines, the slot machine Wildcat Canyon also features two special symbols: a wild and a scatter symbol. With regards to the special features, you should know that you can win free spins.

The range of wagers

Before you start spinning the reels, it is possible to change the coin value. To do this, simply select a value within the following range: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, 0.50, 1 and 2 €/$/£. However, you will not be able to bet more coins per line. Consequently, the range of wagers is still quite varied, starting at just 0.01 €/$/£ per spin and ending at 50 €/$/£ per game. This should accommodate many players.

The wild symbol

The wild symbol is that of a cat. It can only appear on reels 2 and 4, and it can replace other symbols to form or to complete the most profitable possible combination. However, keep in mind that is does not substitute for the scatter symbol.

The scatter symbol and the free spins

The scatter icon has a paw print. This symbol does not need to appear on a payline to reward you with money, and you will win 2, 5, 15 or 200 coins when you get it 2, 3 , 4 or 5 times on any position on the reels.

You win free spins when you get at least three scatter symbols in one spin. You can chose between different modes. They can be 15 spins with a x3 multiplier, 10 spins with a x5 multiplier or 5 spins with a x10 multiplier. If during these free spins a wild symbol appears on the screen the reel on which it appeared on will be held in place while all the other reels will be spun again, giving you another chance of a winning combination.

As you probably realised after reading the above review, the slot machine Wildcat Canyon from developer Nextgen Gaming has very interesting game content and even offers free spins. This game also has a very good mood, as the graphics are cartoon-like and the sounds are country-music style. In short, the game delivers a very nice and humoristic wild west atmosphere.
