Desperate Dawgs

Are you brave enough to join the notorious Wild West gang? But, what if we tell you the three gang members are actually dogs preparing to rob a bank?

The Relax Gaming devs, in collaboration with Yggdrasil Gaming, have decided to take a popular cowboy theme and have a little twist with its protagonists creating a unique 5-reeled online slot machine!

Will you help the gang bust the bank and unlock wins up to x3902?

Theme and Symbols

Relax Gaming's creatives decided to mix the gritty, raw emotion of the Wild West with a gang of cute but gutty dogs, thus creating a unique atmosphere!

Load the game, and you will find in the middle of a desert showing numerous cactuses scattered around in the background that features warm and bright colors.

Overall, the visuals are decent, although a bit dated, while the online game also features light animations and a perfect theme-related soundtrack complementing the whole atmosphere!

The reels are completely transparent and lined in wood, featuring nicely-created icons that show four playing card suits, the game's logo, the Sheriff's badge, and Six Shooter.

The barrel represents the Wild symbol, while the three dog gang members all act as the Scatters.

Betting Options and Other Functions

In order to join the cute yet notorious gang, you should set your bets that range from $0.2 to $100, which would appeal to all kinds of rollers.

Played across the 5 reels and 4 rows, this low/medium-variance game offers 20 pay lines, a below-average best odds number of 95.03%, and a hit rate of 28.47 that can lead you up to a maximum prize of 3900x the stake!

When it comes to symbols, the least rewarding ones are the card suits that pay up to 5x and 8x your stake for five in a combo.

The highest-rewarding symbol is the game's logo that pays 0.2x, 2.5x, 5x, and 25x the stake for 2, 3, 4, or 5 in a combo!

The Wild symbol substitutes for all other regular symbols except the three Scatters!

Special Features

Desperate Dawgs surely isn't desperate when it comes to its bonus features.

This comes as no surprise if you know that this online slot boasts not one, not two, but THREE Scatter symbols!

Landing at least three of each will trigger the Desperate Dawgs Bonus, with 3 different features, depending on the symbol triggering it: Wagon Train, Bank Buster, and Crime Spree!

• Wagon Trail Bonus is triggered by three or more Wagon Trail Scatters, after which you will get to select one of the Wagons presented on screen and earn some instant prizes ranging from 30x to 1000x the stake!
• Bank Buster Bonus is activated by landing the Bank Buster Scatter on reels 1, 3, and 5. When that happens, you need to select numbers from a keypad and crack the code to unlock the safe and grab an instant cash prize.

You will have a Bronze, Silver, and Gold Safe hiding random prizes, going up to 500x the stake!

• Crime Spree Bonus is the most awarding one, triggered by landing at least three Crime Spree Scatters. This will award 10 Free Spins with the progressive multiplier increasing by +1 for every spin and going up to 30x!

Besides, you can retrigger this bonus round by landing three more Crime Spree Symbols.

Verdict

If you ignore a bit dated visuals, as well as the game's below-average return to player percentage, Relax Gaming team has created a decent online slot with an interesting mix of an Old West theme and a trio of dogs.

Besides, the three bonus games you can trigger are surely a nice touch, followed by a pretty nice maximum potential of 3900x the stake!
