Wild West Shenanigans in The Bandit and the Baron Slot
The poor taking from the rich is a theme we’re well accustomed to. It’s also not rare to find this idea wrapped up in some sh*t-kickin’ cowboy boots – and that’s precisely what you’ll get when you enter the badlands of The Bandit and the Baron slot from Quickfire.
So saddle up, pardner. It’s time to leave your tenderfoot tendencies behind and make some serious moolah!
Welcome to the Wild West
Now here’s a game that flips gender roles on its head. From the title, you’d expect that the bandit would be a dude but you’d be dead wrong! Our outlaw is a ponytailed blonde babe who rocks a six-shooter. We like-ey!
The baron is as pompous a creature as you’d expect to find, and the symbols are all gold bars, stacks of silver dollars, bank safes with moolah spilling out of em, and so on.
The whole enchilada is highly detailed, but strangely it’s all a bit blurry and pixelated. Now before y’all go blaming the hardware, we’re looking at this on a 4k monitor so that ain’t the problem.
This game has been created using HTML5 technology, so it looks good on mobile devices, though.
Are you ready to face the baron?
In this game, you’ll get a Wild as well as a Baron Wild, that expands and takes over the entire reel. There are 3 features for this game so let’s go through em in detail.
- Bandit Bonus – This one gets triggered when you land 3 or more full, or partial, Bonus Bandit symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 at the same time during the base game. Whew, that was a mouthful. What you’ll get now is 3 respins and you’ll see that there are 13 open and 12 locked positions.
On the reels, you’ll only see the following 3 symbols:
- Cash – These symbols can land with a value of 1-25x your bet and they get locked in position. Respins also reset to 3
- Cash Multiplier – This one gives your cash symbols a boost by up to 10x; horizontally, vertically, or both ways
- Position Unlock – Land a key in a blank or empty slot, and it will unlock one of the locked positions. You’ll receive whatever value is attached to that symbol and the respins are also reset to 3
- Bandit Respin – Land 2 Bandit Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, or 5, and the reel without these symbols spin again. This gives you a shot at triggering the Bandit Bonus feature.
- Buy Bandit Bonus – Tired of waiting for features to come in? No problem; just buy your way in. It will cost you 100x your total stake but you’ll be guaranteed 3 Bandit Bonus symbols.
Win up to 25,000x your total stake for a shot at the €250,000 top prize!
The RTP for this game is 96.09%, which is fine, and it’s coupled with a very high volatility.
You can win up to 25,000x your total stake and there are 25 fixed paylines. The top prize is €250,000 and the bet limits range from €0.20 to €10.
The game’s got some cool features and it’s easy to understand and get into. It’s fairly standard fare with the only strange thing being that there are no Free Spins on offer. All in all, we liked it.
Western slots are a dime a dozen but another one with a similar RTP and extreme volatility is True Grit Redemption slot. Oh, and it also has a bunch of features so this could be right up your alley.
