Play'n GO releases new Wild West-themed slot Wild Bandolier

iGaming content provider Play'n GO announced the launch of its latest online slot, Wild Bandolier, where players will join a gunslinger in the Wild West and "seize as much loot as they possibly can."

For decades now, cowboys and gun-toting bandits have reigned supreme with hair-raising showdowns in the Wild West. "Play'n GO's Wild Bandolier is no different," the brand says. "Follow a gunslinger on the hunt for cash across town while trying to avoid the Sheriff with a trusty firearm and precise aim."

After any spin, Wild bullets can be fired onto the reels using a target range, tying the shooting mechanics and narrative into the slot. "So long as the player doesn't encounter a Sheriff symbol, they’ll continue to accumulate Wilds, placing them in a hair-raising showdown," Play'n GO described.

The Smoke & Mirror feature is triggered when only two Scatters land. The player has the chance for the reels to Re-Spin and acquire a third Scatter, unlocking the Free Spins. Once triggered, the player is awarded 10 Free Spins, at which point they can pick a Wanted Poster, immersing them into cowboy culture, as well as revealing several Guaranteed Wilds.

Wild Bandolier is reminiscent of other Wild West Play’n GO slots, including 2019's Golden Colts, 2018's Gunslinger Reloaded, 2022's Wild Trigger, and 2021's The Last Sundown. 

George Olekszy, Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO, commented on this latest release: “Western slots are great performers, so we went above and beyond for Wild Bandolier."

"The Smoke & Mirror feature is fantastic. Knowing you can complete a payline with an additional Scatter really elevates this slot to the next level, creating more ways to win. Also, binding the shooting feature with the Sherriff almost makes the gameplay and story one and the same, adding that extra layer of nail-biting tension to every round," he concluded.

The news comes only weeks after Play'n GO announced it is taking its content live with Dutch online casino operator Casino 777.nl. Under the terms of the new deal, Dutch players will gain access to the supplier's games, including Book of Dead, Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness, and Reactoonz.

Jean-Christophe Choffray, Head of Gaming at Casino777.nl, said: 'Above all else, we are committed to bringing our players the ultimate casino experience, delivering on quality games, best UX practices, and product diversity as much as possible.'
