Wild Trigger

Wild Trigger is the Summer offering from leading game developer Play’n GO. Due to be released in June, this online slot game comes with a Western theme, hence the name.

The West is a wild place, and this game is no different. This is not your typical Western slot game, though. It comes with some comedic effects designed to make you chuckle.

We are accompanied on our journey by bandits Clint McGraw and Dottie Fields, who have carried out one of the biggest heists in history. They are not too keen on sharing the loot with each other, so they are facing each other off from each side of the reels. Somehow, as players, we get stuck in the middle of this feud.

Set in the middle of a deserted town, this slot game comes with realistic sound effects and well-designed graphics. You may want to put some shades on as the Sepia tones, and the realistic imagery will make you feel the heat.

Built across 5 reels and 4 rows, this game comes with 20 paylines that pay from left to right though they may occasionally pay both ways. This medium volatile online slot game enjoys a return to player of 96.2%.

The lowest paying symbols are the card numbers which can pay between 5 and 7.5x your stake for five of a kind. The highest paying symbols include the bourbon bottles, the hats and boots, the pistols, the dynamite and the bags of gold, which can reward you between 12.5 and 50x your stake for five of a kind.

There are also two types of wild symbols available in this game which we will delve into a little further in this review.

Verdict

The Western theme has been often explored in the online gambling world, so this game is venturing into known territory. Reminding us of NetEnt’s online slot game Dead or Alive, this game although new fails to bring something new to the table.

Don’t get us wrong. The Pay Both Ways and the sticky wilds can prove generous, but there are no unique features here that could possibly make this game stand out from the crowd.

The minimum bet sizes are ideal for low rollers, though you cannot expect big wins with size a small bet size.

The bigger wins are likely to occur in the Duel Free Spins bonus feature, thanks to the presence of 2 sticky wild reels and win boy ways payouts. The maximum win in this game comes at a considerably low 2,000x your wager.

There are plenty of Wild West-themed online slot games to pick and choose from. While Play’n GO is a prolific software game developer, it fails to bring something exciting that would keep players coming back. Akin to the Rich Wilde game series, while the theme is popular, the game lacks a certain shine and newness to them.

While this game does not come out with blazing guns from the get-go, the sticky wilds bring some excitement to this otherwise lacklustre game. We wish this software game developer added some additional features such as multipliers, respins or perhaps a Pick and Choose feature.
