We're in classic spaghetti western territory as far as the look and sound of Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist is concerned - set against a cactus-filled desert backdrop with the railroad in the distance, the cartoon visuals include heart, club, diamond and spade symbols alongside a quartet of bad looking brigands. The female sharpshooter is the top paying symbol - find 5 of these for a 500 coin payout. That same amount is awarded if you land 5 standard wilds in a row too.
Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist comes with a pair of bonus features. Land the safe symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 and you'll trigger the Pick and Click feature. This does exactly what you'd expect - just choose 1 of the safes and you'll be awarded a cash prize of anywhere between 5 and 50 times your stake.
Potentially much more lucrative is the Free Spins feature - to trigger this, you'll need to land 3, 4 or 5 or more of the 7 symbol. In return you'll receive 10, 20 or 30 free spins. Before these play out, spin the bonus wheel to reveal which modifier extra you've been awarded.
On offer are a standard wild, an expanding wild which fills the reel in which it hits, a spreading wild and a multiplier wild which doubles every payout in which it appears. During the feature, an overlay wild (which will be the same as modifier mild) will appear at random on reels 1, 2 or 3 during each free spin. If you get 3 or more scatters during the feature, you will receive 10, 20 or 30 more free spins taking your potential to total to 60.
There's plenty to enjoy in this cowboy adventure - visually, it's a typically high end effort from Net Entertainment. The cartoon imagery is detailed yet also clear and crisp and the action plays out to a classic Western style backing track. The features are solid too.
The Pick and Click feature isn't particularly exciting but can offer some tidy bonuses. Of more interest is the free spins round where the modifier wilds can really get the coins flowing. I particular like the Expanding Wild as you can benefit potentially from 3 fully wild reels on every single free spin.
Growing up, cowboy movies usually meant a boring, rainy Sunday afternoon with nothing else on the telly - this game is a far more entertaining fare. Well designed and coming with a nice range of features, Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist is a very playable slot.
And if fortune is smiling, these particular bandits can help you make off with plenty of loot with up to 500 times your bet to be won on every single spin. If you like the Western theme, one of Net Entertainment’s most popular titles, Dead or Alive, is highly recommended – and highly volatile.
