Game Overview
As someone who grew up watching Cowboy movies, I always get a wry smile on my face when I know I’m about to write a review of a Wild West-themed slot. I’m not overly sure why I love watching movies featuring overly sweaty and dirty-looking cowboys spitting out tobacco (pang!) and trying to prove they are the fastest guns in the West – but they get me hooked. Hopefully, this 5-reel, 3-row, and 25-fixed payline slot from Evoplay titled Bandit Bust with a 96% RTP and a 12,000x maximum win has the same effect.
There’s not much excitement in the base game, that’s for sure, and not just in terms of the lack of gunfights and showdowns but also the lack of anything other than a random Wild Bandit feature to provide some action. Still, that feature does offer plenty of potential, as up to 6 wilds with multipliers can appear on the reels. However, It’s when the free spins feature triggers that you get to see what Bandit Bust is really all about, as a collection meter comes into play where unlocking the gun barrels can cause extra wild symbols to be added to the reels on each spin.
Are you ready to experience the dusty and dangerous world of the Wild West via the Bandit Bust slot? You’ll not get an easier chance than right now by opening the Bandit Bust slot demo below.
Bandit Bust Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
You only have to take a quick peek at our Western Slots page to see that cowboys, gunslingers, bandits, and the Wild West, in general, have graced the themes of countless slot games over the years. Some of these have become all-time classics, starting with Dead or Alive, a NetEnt slot that might be dated these days, but it’s still a fantastic one that achieved a 9.5 score here at Demoslot. Fast-forward to modern-day options, and there is the excellent Money Train series, containing four superb titles developed by Relax Gaming. Other Western slots I’d recommend include the Dead or a Wild slot from Hacksaw Gaming and Tombstone RIP from Nolimit City.
If you know your slots, you’ll know that’s quite the lineup of top titles – so Bandit Bust has its work cut out even to get close to being in the same conversation as those. Let’s get back into this review by looking at the symbols and what payouts they offer. At the top end of the paytable, you’ll find 25x the stake offered by the Wild symbol and the Wealthy-looking Gentleman when either line up five times across a payline. The Wealthy Woman, who I assume is the man’s wife, pays 12x for a 5-symbol combo while the Red, Green, and Blue Bags deliver 7.5x, 6x, and 4.5x, respectively. The Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten are the low pays, and these pay fairly respectable amounts up to 4x, 3x, 2.5x, 2x, and 1.5x.
I’d take the betting range on the Bandit Bust slot demo with a pinch of salt, as it’s possible to place a bet per spin from €0.10 up to €5,000.00. I highly doubt you’ll see the top end of that range playing the real money version.
Bandit Bust Slot Base Game
Played on a 5×3 reel formation with 25 fixed paylines, standard wins will come your way on Bandit Bust when three or more matching symbols line up from left to right across a payline.
Wild Bandit
Triggered randomly on any spin in the base game or free spins bonus, the Wild Bandit Feature will boost winning potential by adding between 1 and 6 wild symbols to random reel positions. On top of that, a Bandit fires six shots at the wilds – increasing a multiplier value by 1x each time a wild is hit. As you’d expect, those wild multipliers will apply to the symbol payouts the wilds have helped create.
Bandit Bust Slot Bonus Features
Scatter symbols can appear on any of the five reels, and you’ll only need three of them (although the more, the better) to trigger the Bandit Bust free spins bonus game. At this point, I just want to point out the paytable does not mention if it’s possible to re-trigger the free spins from within the bonus – but I’d assume that’s not the case, especially as you can win further free spins throughout the bonus.
Free Spins Feature
Landing the minimum three required scatter symbols earns you ten free spins, but should you land four or five, you’ll get yourself 12 or 15. Once I triggered the feature, I got excited to see a collection bar above the reels – instantly telling me this would not be one of those boring bonus games offering nothing more than free spins.
That metre fills each time the Wild Bandit feature triggers, and once this happens three times, you receive 8 additional free spins and unlock a loaded pistol cylinder under that metre. The next three times the Wild Bandit feature triggers will also reward 8 spins and unlock a cylinder.
So, what do those cylinders do? I’ll break it down.
- 1 Unlocked Cylinder – Adds an extra 1-6 wilds per spin, and the bandit shoots the 6 bullets in the cylinder to increase multipliers.
- 2 Unlocked Cylinders – Adds 2-8 wilds each spin with 12 shots now fired.
- 3 Unlocked Cylinders – Adds 3- 10 wilds each spin with 18 shots now fired.
- 4 Unlocked Cylinders – Adds 4 – 12 wilds per spin with 24 shots now fired.
Safe Break
Only appearing during the free spins bonus, the Golden Safe symbol will reveal an instant prize, either a multiplier of your stake or extra free spins. The prizes offered are 2.5x, 5x, 10x, or 20x, while you could receive 2, 3, 5, or 8 free spins instead.
Pros
- A really enjoyable main free spins bonus featuring the Wild Bandit feature offering wild multipliers and additional spins.
- A 12,000x max win is quite high for a 25-payline slot.
Cons
- Adding an extra base game modifier would have made the overall gameplay more entertaining.
Bandit Bust Slot Review Final Thoughts
Evoplay's Bandit Bust is a worthy addition to our Western slots genre page here at Demoslot, and it's a game I'd recommend you try.The base game offers just enough entertainment to keep you occupied through the Wild Bandit feature, whilst the free spins feature has the potential to pay you some handsome rewards.
