In Reel Outlaws, players will find a slot machine designed by BetSoft, with an Wild West theme where outlaws are hunted down by a sheriff. Though it doesn’t mention exactly what the action inside is about, you do get the usual sheriff star badge and the wanted posters, plus various other objects from that time period and the area where the frontier was located. From cactus plants, to boots, six shooters and horseshoes, you get a little bit of everything Wild West in Reel Outlaws.
The 5 reels placed inside the game will give you only 9 paylines, which isn’t a lot for a modern title. BetSoft does offer a $10,000 jackpot inside and besides the payout you will also find things like a wild symbol, a bonus game and a scatter.
Features of Reel Outlaws
Though Reel Outlaws tries to offer a decent range of features, it doesn’t excel in any area, so it remains a solid game that doesn’t manage to impress.
The wild symbol would be a good example of this, a feature that you always want to see in a game, without any downsides to it. The Wild Stars that take this role here will give you the 2,000x multiplier that is the top jackpot, plus it can substitute for regular symbols. Overall, it’s an OK feature, but it doesn’t give you a multiplier, it doesn’t expand and it doesn’t come in stacked. It’s a basic wild.
The next feature symbol is the one with dynamite sticks placed right behind the word “Scatter”. It has the scatter ability, as you might’ve guessed, meaning that you get whatever prize it has to offer whenever 3 to 5 matching symbols are present in any position. It doesn’t benefit from the wild’s presence. The prizes offered by the scatter go up to 500x.
Bonus Game
The Reel Outlaws logo serves as a bonus round trigger. This is not a scatter symbol, so you do need it to appear multiple times on the same active line. You need just three bonus symbols to start the bonus game, but with four or five you also get a multiplier (5x or 10x).
Betting options and jackpots
Reel Outlaws uses coins that can be worth $1 at their highest, or $0.02 at their lowest. You are offered the option to use 1 to 5 per active line, with 45 being part of the maximum bet. Up to $45 can be wagered per spin.
With a bit of help from the wild, plus the maximum bet per line, you can get up to 2,000x the line wager. The five matching wilds required in this case would award you 10,000 coins ($10,000).
Design and symbols
Reel Outlaws has a good looking design, despite not being one of the 3D slots from BetSoft. It has detailed surroundings that manage to add to its atmosphere, average to good looking symbols and every one of them has some sort of connection to the Wild West, no playing cards here.
