Wild Duel Slot Review

Wild Duel Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Wild Duel slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. As simple as online slots come, a winning combination is formed when 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols appear on successive reels beginning from reel 1 and across any of the 10 paylines.

Stake levels cater to all pockets as you can spin away from 10p to £50 per spin. Simply click on the ‘bet’ section below the reels to see all 19 bet options. Outside of the UK, you will see a lightning icon which will enable Turbo Mode. There’s also an Autoplay button for auto spins (again, not available to UK players).

The Wild Duel RTP rate is 96.1%. This is marginally better than the 96% online average. 54.9% of that comes in the base game and 41.2% from the various bonus features. On the other hand, the volatility is sky high. Expect a win in over a quarter of spins (on average) with a hit frequency rate of 26.78%.

The maximum win is 10,000 x your total stake per spin. Bigger wins will derive from the main extra, the free spins, due to the various wilds and multipliers on offer. The chances of winning this are 1 in 50 million spins.

Theme – help wild marshals fend off outlaws and gunslingers

Head to Wild Town in the Wild Duel slot. With a Western theme, the story is that the town is assailed by outlaws and gunslingers. The Wild Marshalls are taking them on across the town in savage duels to harvest the rewards.

With Peter & Sons’ distinct design style, the visuals are superb. Set in Wild Town with the saloon in the backdrop, the soundtrack is classic in nature and reminiscent of old cowboy films like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Symbols include low value A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. Then you have cacti, straw bales, TNT barrels, bison skulls and carts full of bottles. The cart full of bottles is the highest value symbol and pays 2, 6 or 11 x stake for 3, 4 or 5 across a payline.

There are 3 wild symbols which substitute for any other symbol except the VS scatter. You have the standard wild, an expanding wild and sticky wild (which has a padlock on it). 3, 4 or 5 wilds will pay 2.5, 7 or 12 x stake respectively. More details on these further down.

Wild Duel Mobile

With Peter & Sons being a relatively new slot provider, all slots created using HTML5 technology. This means Wild Duel can be played on laptop, PC, MAC, mobile and tablet devices. The 5×3 reel set up works perfectly on mobiles too with the unique design style shining through.

Wild Duel Bonus Features

The Wild Duel slot has 6 bonus features. There’s a Wild Duel feature where marshals battle outlaws to give you random, expanding and sticky wilds with multipliers up to 10x. These apply during the free spins too.

Wild Duel feature

The Wild Duel feature is played when 2 VS scatter symbols appear on the reels. With a respin awarded, 2 vertical reels on each side of the grid appear with 3 symbol positions each. There’s an Outlaw reel on the right and Marshal reel on the left. As well as blank symbols, here’s what can land in them:

There are 3 Marshal features and they offer a different type of wild symbol. If the outlaw position on the right matches with the marshals on the left, a duel takes place. If the marshal wins, the corresponding wild feature applies with the defeated outlaw multiplier:

Finally here, more than 1 duel can take place at one time. Each duel gives you a respin with respins continuing as long Marshals win their duels.

Win Placement feature

When no wins or duels take place in the base game, the Wild Placement feature can be randomly triggered. 3 wild symbols are randomly placed on the reels basically.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is triggered when 3 VS scatters land simultaneously on a base game spin. 10 free spins are then won with 5 x your total stake. The Wild Duel feature is unlocked with winning duels giving you a free respin.

This means regular, expanding and sticky wilds added to the reels alongside outlaw multipliers up to 10x. Each duel will give you additional free spins:

Wild Duel Review Summary – side with the marshals for big wins

The Wild Duel slot is superbly designed and has that unique Peter & Sons flair. The Western theme is extremely popular so the developer has it’s work cut out so to speak.

When it comes to the gameplay, landing 2 scatters will trigger the Wild Duel feature where outlaws battle marshals. Just hope the marshals win in order to win free spins with extra, sticky or expanding wilds. If the outlaw multiplier is on the same level as the marshal, a multiplier up to 10x will apply to your win. This is where the big wins will come from.

It’s all about the Free Spins feature where the Wild Duel feature is unlocked permanently. With wins of up to 120 x stake available per spin, plenty of respins and outlaw multipliers will be needed for Wild Duel to realise it’s 10,000 x stake max win potential. Bear in mind it will take approximately 197 spins to play the free spins on average.

Overall, Wild Duel is a decent game but I believe Peter & Sons have delivered better (i.e. Monster Blox). There are also much better Western slots available such as Dead or Alive 2 (NetEnt) which comes with 111,111 x stake max wins.
