Theme: take down outlaws in this Wild West showdown

With a Wild West theme, The Wild Gang slot will immediately remind you of the Red Dead Redemption 2 video game produced by Rockstar Games. Set in a typical Western town with a sunset setting, the soundtrack is typical yet immersive.

Graphically, it has a comic-book feel. You’ll hear horses whinnying as you spin the reels. It’s not NetEnt’s Dead or Alive 2 or Nolimit City’s Tombstone RIP but it’s good enough.

On the reels, you will see Western-style A, K, Q and J royals. Then you will come across cowboy boots, whiskey, knives, pistols and sheriff badges. The sheriff’s badge symbol is the highest paying with 0.75, 1.5, 2.5 or 7. 5 x bet awarded for 3, 4, 5 or 6 across a payline.

Importantly, you have 4 Wild and Scatter symbols that can land on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. In the base game, whenever they appear on reels 2 or 3, they behave a wilds and substitute for all symbols. If 3 or 4 appear on a base game spin, they function as Scatters. Finally, you also have a Mystery symbol that appears on all reels.

The Wild Gang Mobile

The Wild Gang release date is the 16^th of November 2023 meaning it’s compatible with mobile, tablet and/or desktop devices. Created using HTML5 technology, mobile players can enjoy this Wild West adventure on iOS and Android smartphones.

The Wild Gang Bonus Features

The Wild Gang slot has 5 bonus features. With mystery symbols and multiplier wilds, the focus is on the 2 free spins features where you get multipliers on wilds appearing the first and second time. Wilds are collected in a meter which applies to all wins.

Mystery Symbol feature

When the Mystery symbol appears on any reel, the Mystery Symbol feature will be triggered. All instances of the mystery symbol will transform into the same random paying symbol, except the Wilds/Scatters.

Wild Multiplier feature

With 4 wild symbols appearing on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, they come with random multipliers of 2x, 3x or 4x. If multiple wilds appear during a win, the multiplier values will multiply with each other. If you were to land a 4x wild on 2 of the middle reels, you’d benefit from a 16x multiplier (4 x 4 = 16x).

Free Spins features

With 2 free spins features, they will be triggered when landing 3 or 4 Wild/Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. 3 will award the Wanted Free Spins with 4 activating the Dead or Alive Free Spins. Here is what they offer:

Wanted Free Spins feature: 8 free spins will be awarded. Wild/Scatter symbols are always wild and won’t become Scatters. Each carrying a 2x multiplier, they second time they appear a 3x multiplier will apply. The multiplier then disappears from the 3^rd time they appear onwards.

Dead or Alive Free Spins feature: played with 4,096 ways to win, 8 free spins are awarded. The first time each of the Wilds appears, they contain a 2x multiplier. On the second time, the multiplier value rises to 4x. On the third time, no multiplier appears.

More importantly, the Wild Multipliers are collected in a meter that is carried over for the duration of the feature. The multiplier in the meter begins at 1x and is multiplied by any multiplier that lands. This then applies to the total win of all free spins.

Furthermore, when all 4 Wilds have appeared at least once, 2 additional free spins will be awarded. This can occur twice meaning a total of 4 extra free spins. After this, no more free spins can be retriggered.

Non-UK players have the option of the Buy Free Spins feature. It will cost you 80 x your total bet for the Wanted Free Spins feature and 200 x your total bet for the Dead or Alive Free Spins feature. The RTP also rises ever so slightly to 96.04% (for the 96.02% RTP version).

The Wild Gang Review Summary: Wild West battle lacks firepower

Visually, The Wild Gang slot certainly holds its own even though it’s not as good as the games mentioned above. With the Wild West theme being very popular amongst slot providers, Pragmatic Play could have done more with the characters in my opinion. It looks a little like Hacksaw Gaming’s Wanted Dead or a Wild truth be told.

With mystery symbols that feature in many other slot games, it’s all about the Wild Multipliers. In the base game, a 4x wild multiplier on 2 of the 4 middle reels will result in a 16x multiplier applied to your win. 3 or 4 Wild/Scatter symbols will trigger the respective free spins feature though where bigger wins are possible.

In both free spins features, Wilds landing will give you a wild multiplier which increases the second time they appear. On the 3^rd landing, the multipliers disappear oddly. In the Dead or Alive Free Spins feature, the multiplier can reach 4x. If you land a 4x Wild Multiplier on all 6 reels, a 4,096x multiplier will be applied to your wins. You’ll also play with more ways to win (4,096 vs 2,304).

That said, the key with both free spins features is collecting Wild Multipliers. This increases the overall multiplier (in the top left-hand corner) which then applies to the total win from the feature. If this multiplier is high, big wins are certainly possible.

With 10,000 x bet max wins possible in The Wild Gang slot, bigger wins will come from the free spins features. Having sticky wild multipliers would have made the game a lot like Dead or Alive 2 so Pragmatic Play has produced something different here.

However, the max win potential is nowhere near what we’ve come to expect from the best Wild West-themed slot games. If you take Pragmatic Play’s Cowboy Coins for example, the max win is 30,000 x your total bet

If you enjoy the Wild West theme, you may want to try Pragmatic’s newer addition to the category, Mustang Gold Megaways.
