I’m sure by now that many of you have read some of our reviews of Pragmatic Play games that we either love or hate.
Well, I can say that ‘The Wild Gang’ falls very firmly into the love side, and you can find out why below.
Mystery Symbol
Mystery symbols appear on all reels. When they hit, all instances transform into the same random pay symbol.
Free Spins
Hitting three wild/scatters in the base game triggers the Wanted Free Spins round, while four wild/scatters trigger the Dead Or Alive Free Spins round. Both rounds award eight free spins, but the Dead Or Alive round is played on a 6×4 game grid with 4,096 ways to win. The first time each of the wilds lands, they have an x2 multiplier; the second time, an x3 multiplier; and from the third time onwards, no multiplier. It is the same for Dead Or Alive Free Spins, except the second time they hit, the multiplier is x4.
The wild multipliers are collected by a meter, which persists till the round ends. It starts on x1 and is multiplied by any multiplier that hits. This total multiplier applies to the win of each spin. When all four wilds appear at least once for both rounds, +2 extra free spins are awarded. When all four wilds appear twice, +2 more free spins are awarded. The feature cannot be retriggered again after this.
Bonus Buy
Free spins can be instantly triggered by buying them from the base game, and wanted Free Spins cost 80 times the bet, while Dead Or Alive Free Spins have a price tag of 200 times the bet.
Summary:
‘The Wild Gang’ stands out in the sea of Wild West-themed games due to its exciting slot mechanics.
I love the 200x bonus buy/ Super base game bonus, as I feel there’s more of a chance to achieve a higher multiplier within this bonus once the multi is at 32x or higher. When the mysterious symbols land, you find yourself almost begging for that big hit connection to reveal. When a game has a player in this mindset, it truly is excellent.
If you’re in the mood for a Wild West-themed game and a bonus with some potential, give this game a try.
