Being a Hero Pays Well in The Last Sundown Slot!
It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
We would also feel fine if, under apocalyptic conditions, we were able to pull back a massive top prize. So go on, then – grab a weapon, strap on that medkit, and let’s head out into the sun-scorched world of The Last Sundown slot – there’s a fortune waiting to be taken!
Spin those sun-baked reels for your chance to win big
Forget Mad Max, this post-apocalyptic world is way cooler! In the background, you’ll see a windmill and some derelict buildings set against a desert scene. The four characters that appear on, and next to, the reels are rendered in exquisite detail.
The game starts with quite a lengthy video intro, where the plot unfolds. We’re introduced to two vicious warlords, Tuco and Lauro, who are taking what they want at the expense of others… but not for long. Rae and her brother Devin are modern-day Robin Hoods, who want to take those ill-gotten gains and give them to the poor.
The Last Sundown slot boasts 7,7776 ways to win along with an RTP of 96.2%, and a high volatility. The multiplier is 18,000x while the top prize is a resounding €225,000. The game’s bet limit is fairly low, starting at €0.10 and going up to a conservative €12.50.
OK, now that we’ve set the scene, let’s get into the features and the gameplay.
It’s time to split those symbols
While spinning, you can hit the Space key and this activates Hyper Spin. Then you can just hold down the Space key and it works kinda like an auto spin feature, even though Play’n GO has included this too. So a bit strange, that one.
Next up is the Splitting Symbols feature. On any spin during the base game, 1 symbol is chosen randomly. This will now essentially clone itself and increase your chances of winning.
Land 3 or more medical kit Scatters and you’ll set off the Free Spins bonus round. The background changes from a blazingly-orange sun scape to a moon-filled one. Your reward is 8 Free Spins and 3, 4, or 5 Scatters will pay you 5, 10, or 50x your stake.
When the Free Spins round begins, 1 symbol splits and another regular pay symbol gets chosen for collection. When you land that collection symbol, then the collector gets increased by 1 each time. You’ll see this element at the top of the grid as well as the ever-changing ways to win meter.
Keep collecting and additional symbols can be turned into splitting symbols for the rest of this feature. You’ll need to grab 6 collection symbols for each weapon, 5 symbols for each character, and 4 for the Wild. Each collection that you complete gets you 3 extra Free Spins and chooses a new collection symbol.
Cash in with Free Spins and Splitting Symbols!
The Last Sundown is a stunning game, from a visual perspective. It translates well onto mobile devices, although we feel that they could have foregone that expansive background to make the reels bigger.
The high volatility does show through though, as we played for ages without anything substantial landing. But we hung on, and that coveted Free Spin round did eventually land.
While the game looks similar to xWays Hoarder xSplit slot and Infectious 5 xWays slot – both of which you should play, of course – it’s not as feature-filled or, as newer players might call it, “complicated”.
Once you understand the nature of the beast, you can focus on having fun rather than trying to recall a bunch of features and what each one does.
