Silver Trails Slot Review

Silver Trails Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Silver Trails slot plays out on a 5 reel, 3 row, 243 ways to win machine. Create winning combinations by landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds on adjoining reels.

Stake levels range from between 30p and £45 per spin. Click on the Total Bet box below the reels then choose from the 15 different stake levels. There’s also an Autoplay function which may not be available in your country.

The Silver Trails RTP is 95.15% which is slightly below average. The 30% hit frequency rate means that on average, you’ll land a winner around once every 3 to 4 spins.

The action here is pretty fiery when it comes to variance. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d put the Silver Trails volatility at about an 8. The potential maximum win here is 1,500 x your total stake.

Theme – Audio and Design Features – saddle up for some Wild West adventure

We’re in proper cowboy country in the Silver Trails slot. A classic, dusty, frontier town is the setting here. There’s a twangy soundtrack playing while you spin which is a good fit for the Wild West theme. Each spin sounds like a gun being cocked. Combined with the comic book-style visuals, the Silver Trails design works well.

The wooden reels are made up of lower value A to 10 royals in a wild west font alongside playing cards and poker chips, a revolver, a bag of cash and a gun-toting woman. The moustachioed cowboy chomping on a fat cigar is the top standard symbol. Land 5 of these in combination for an award of 16.67 x your total stake.

The sheriff’s badge is the game’s wild. This spins in stacked formation on reels 2 and 4 and substitutes for all the standard symbols when it makes up part of a winning line. Finally, there’s the silver star symbol which is the key to unlocking the best features Silver Trails has to offer.

Silver Trails is available to play on all devices including desktops, tablets and mobiles. The colourful, cartoon imagery and simple features make the Silver Trails mobile slot a very easy one to play.

Silver Trails Bonus Features

With 2 bonus features, stacks of silver stars are the key to success in Silver Trails. These can deliver instant wins in the base game and trigger the streak re-spin bonus if you land enough of them on the same spin. They could also land you a potential jackpot prize.

Max Cash Win Multipliers feature

You’ll notice that the reels include silver star symbols that come with cash values of up to 9 x stake attached. These commonly pass by without incident. If you manage to land a full stack of them on reels 1, 3 or 5 (as long as there are 5 or fewer stars on display in all) they become active.

Known as the Max Cash Win Multipliers feature, you’ll then receive an instant win that’s equal to the combined values attached those silver stars. You could also see Mini or Minor Jackpots on the silver stars. These are worth 10 and 25 x your total stake respectively.

Above the reels is a horizontal conveyor belt that contains blanks and multipliers. If you land a full stack of silver stars and there’s a multiplier directly above, the value of those stars is boosted by the amount shown. Multipliers here can get as high as 20x.

Max Cash Silver Star feature

The main extra is the Max Cash Silver Star feature which triggers when you land 6 or more silver stars on the same spin. Those stars are held and 3 respins are awarded on a new set of reels that are made up of blanks and stars.

If a new star lands, it too is held and the respins reset to 3. Each star has a cash value or Mini or Minor Jackpot attached. Fill an entire reel with stars and their values are boosted if there’s a multiplier on show in the window directly above. Once again, multipliers here can top 20x.

When you’ve used up all your respins, the cash and jackpot values attached to the silver stars (which have hopefully been boosted by a multiplier or 2) are added together to give you an overall cash prize. If you manage to fill all the positions on the grid with silver stars, you’ll scoop the Grand Jackpot which is worth a cool 400 x stake.

Silver Trails Review Summary – unusual Wild West adventure

I enjoyed this trip to the Wild West. The cartoon design and country-style soundtrack fit the theme nicely. The features in the Silver Tails slot aren’t spectacularly original but the multipliers are a tidy twist on the classic streak respin bonus. It’s volatile enough to keep things interesting too.

If you like the cowboy theme, you’ll want to say ‘Howdy, partner’ to other Wild West slots though. The best is definitely Dead or Alive 2 from NetEnt which offers up to 111,111 x stake wins. Alternatively, Novomatic also offers you Strike It Gold: Win Ways which is basically a Megaways game in disguise.
