Whoever likes the atmosphere of old-fashioned saloons, their smoky air mixed with the flavor of whiskey, country music, green felt on tables surrounded by serious faces of players and observers watching a game that does not cease to trigger interest, will surely like a genuine, American Wild West slot by Viaden Gaming – “Maverick Saloon”.
“Maverick Saloon” Characteristics
This place actually exists, believe it or not, and it looks very alike to the venue described in this 5-reel, 9-payline video slot. It’s a very authentic title that will surely appeal to those that like its theme, with its cowboys, sheriffs, priests, all carrying guns, drop-dead-gorgeous girl poker players, Indians, and beautifully ornamented poker symbols. However, if you’re not that into the theme, you’ll probably think it’s a pretty average game but with one major benefit – great base game pays!
Some additional features you’ll find in “Maverick Saloon” include wilds, scatters and a bonus round that gives free spins with multipliers. All of these are going to help you keep your balance steady, so they’re worth hoping for.
However, one thing that a number of players will find against this great game is the range of bet amounts it offers. One thing’s for sure – it’s fit for low to medium rollers, but it’s definitely not a game for highrollers with great ambitions. You see, its coin denominations range from 10 to 50 cents, which on the maximum number of lines means your bet will go from 90 cents to $4.50 – too little even for some mid-rollers.
Special Features
One of this game’s qualities are its special features. These are not that difficult to get, and once you do, they probably won’t do wonders for you, but they’ll pay just fine.
Take the wild symbol as an example. It appears quite often and replaces other regular symbols, creating more winners and doubling the prize as it does so. Besides, getting five of them would bring you a lucrative payout of as much as 9000 coins – something to remember this slot by if you get so lucky.
As for other special features, there’s the bonus round, triggered by three or more bonus symbols anywhere on the reels. Once you get it, you’ll be prompted to shoot the figures that keep jumping up, and as you do, you’ll be awarded with free spins and multiplier. Once you shoot the multiplier, your round of free spins will start and the multiplier you shot will be applied to all wins.
Finally, if you seek more thrill or bigger wins, you may want to try the Gamble feature in which you can double or quadruple your winnings multiple times by choosing the right color or suit of the next card. However, beware, as one bad choice may instantly deprive you of your hard-earned wins.
Conclusion
Given the fact that it features very good graphics, excellent sound effects, and regular payouts, “Maverick Saloon” is definitely a game I’d recommend. Its downside, the small range of bets on offer, can be neglected if we have in mind that a great majority of players will find this range satisfactory for what they can afford. So, thumbs up for Viaden Gaming, once again!
