Game Overview

If we were to ask Backseat Gaming to name their top three slot themes, I’d wager there’s a good chance they’d place the Wild West as one of them. Considering the developer’s previous success with it, it’d hardly be surprising, specifically with titles such as 2 Wild 2 Die and Wanted Dead Or A Wild. Well, they’re back with another cowboy-related slot with the release of Old Gun. Technically, however, this is from their partnering studio, Backseat Gaming, although you wonder just how much influence Hacksaw Gaming might have when it comes to third-party slots launched via their platform. Done in a more playful style than the previously mentioned titles, Old Gun is a 6×5 scatter pays slot with a 96.29% RTP and a 12,500x maximum win.

While the slot’s title suggests Old Gun will focus on a Winchester rifle or some kind of six-shooter pistol, it’s Dynamite that takes centre stage here. Those symbols can hold multiplier values of between 2x and 200x the stake during the base game or via one of two free spins bonuses. During those bonuses, in particular, the chance of landing the higher multipliers increases thanks to a progression system. Make it all the way to level five, and the minimum value those Dynamites hold is 100x and could go up to the maximum of 200x. Any multipliers are added together at the end of any spin and are applied to the total win of that spin.

Do you love gun-toting cowboy-themed slots full of shootouts and explosions? This slot might just be your kind of thing. You can confirm this by playing the free-to-play Old Gun slot demo below.

If Wild West slots are among your favourites when looking for something to play, you’ll have plenty to choose from in both online casinos and here at Demoslot. Just yesterday, as it happens, I reviewed BGaming’s Wild West Trueways, and before that, I was putting my opinion out on Nolimit City’s superb Deadwood R.I.P. Those are just two of the most recent titles to be added here on our platform; but if you want to see what the niche has to offer in full, you can head over to our dedicated Western slots page where you’ll find dozens of titles to get your six-shooter stuck into.

Let’s focus on what you can win now and the Old Gun paytable showcases the payouts of the 10 regular game symbols. The Pistol Chamber symbol tops them all as the most valuable symbol on the slot with a 300x the stake return for 19+ symbols in view. The Sheriff’s Badge comes next with a 200x top payout, while the Hat and Whiskey return up to 100x. The Yellow, Red, Blue, Purple, and Green Gems represent the low pays, and all share a 50x max return.

When it comes to choosing a bet size to spin the reels at, there are an impressive number of stake options on Old Gun, ranging from a low of €0.10 to a high of €100.00, ensuring that all real money players of any size budget can find a comfortable entry point.

Old Gun Slot Base Game & Modifiers

As Old Gun is a scatter pays slot, most of you probably know how the action goes down by now. Winning combinations across the 6×5 grid matrix are formed by matching symbols anywhere in view, and those symbols disappear so that more can join the action to potentially generate further wins. Winning combinations for all symbols require at least 8 instances across the reels.

Dynamite Symbols

Dynamite symbols holding win multipliers between 2x and 200x can land on any reel. The values of all instances of this symbol are added together at the end of a spin and applied to the total win.

Fire In The Hole

Triggered randomly during the base game, the Fire in the Hole feature will increase the multiplier values of any Dynamite symbols in view. The increase could be 5x up to a maximum of 200x and is based on the progression levels found in the bonus games.

Old Gun Slot Bonus Features

There are two free spins bonus games on Old Gun; one triggers when four scatter symbols land anywhere in view, and the other requires five scatters to land during a base game spin.

Dynamite Dave’s Long Fuse Free Spins

4 scatters reward you with 10 free spins on the Dynamite Dave’s Long Fuse Free Spins Bonus. During the bonus, each scatter that lands is collected and applied to a progression ladder. The higher you get, the larger the minimum win multiplier of any Dynamite symbols that land. There are five levels on this ladder, and you start at level 0 with a minimum Dynamite multiplier of 2x.

  • Level 1: Requires 2 scatters to unlock and gives minimum Dynamite multipliers of 5x.
  • Level 2: Requires 3 scatters to unlock and gives minimum Dynamite multipliers of 10x.
  • Level 3: Requires 3 scatters to unlock and gives minimum Dynamite multipliers of 25x.
  • Level 4: Requires 5 scatters to unlock, giving minimum Dynamite multipliers of 100x.

Each time you advance to a new level, you’re awarded an additional 5 free spins.

Dynamite Dave’s Short Fuse Free Spins

In return for 5 scatters, you get 10 free spins on the Dynamite Dave’s Short Fuse Free Spins game, which is almost identical to the previous bonus game apart from one difference. You’ll start at least level 1 but could start at any level up to 5.

Bonus Buy

There are five buy bonus options on the Old Gun slot:

  • BonusHunt FeatureSpins: You can spin with three times the chance of triggering a bonus game for 2x the current stake.
  • Dynamite FeatureSpins: For 25x the stake, you’ll spin with a guarantee of at least one Dynamite symbol holding a multiplier between 2x and 25x.
  • Explosive FeatureSpins: For 50x, spins will have at least one Dynamite symbol with a multiplier of between 25x and 100x.
  • Dynamite Dave’s Long Fuse: 100x the current bet purchases the regular free spins bonus.
  • Dynamite Dave’s Short Fuse: 200x buys the enhanced free spins bonus game that could start you at any level from 1 to 5.

Pros

  • Through the Dynamite symbols, Old Gun has something that differentiates it from the many other Scatter Pays slots on the market.
  • Well designed theme.

Cons

  • Those bored of western slots may not find the game entertaining.

Old Gun Slot Review Final Thoughts

Old Gun is the latest to join an already burgeoning scatter pays genre, and it makes a pretty good impression. The slot is all about those Dynamite symbols and their potential to increase spin wins by up to 200x at a time. However, how frequently you’ll see them is the question, with the best chance coming at level 5 in the bonus games. Difficulty aside, the potential is there for some pretty impressive wins.
