Showdown Saloon

Fortune Factory Studios is a third-party developer for Microgaming and Showdown Saloon is on their first slots to come out under the contract. The game hits the spot when it comes to Western-themed games. True to the fashion of the wild west the slot offers a lot of unpredictable situations where a fast gun and a bit of luck goes a long way.

Theme

The first look reveals that the company has watched their fair share of related movies. Guns, cards, and coins fill the screen and shootouts ring in the distance. This also means that the card ranks make sense as symbols in this game, unlike in so many others. The rest of the symbols offer great graphics and all fit the theme as well. All in all the game has everything you would expect from the theme.

Betting Options and Functions

The game is set on a normal five times three reel with fifteen fixed lines running through the reels. Volatility is high, as it should be with a western themed slot. Luckily the RTP is spot on, giving the game quite a nice balance between risks and wins. Betting range is between 0.20 and 100 coins per spin, evenly split along the paylines.

The maximum prize here is 750 times the bet, though of course, this can go higher if you land more than one combo at one go. With the special features, these go considerably higher. The basic wins do not offer anything too spectacular but they do keep you in the game, ready for that final showdown.

Features

Mystery Symbols, Re-Spins and three Free Spin Features make this game worthwhile. The first one of these is present on every spin. Each time the reels roll mystery symbols are dropped in the mix, and once the dust settles these all change to matching symbols, at least on the first two reels.The re-spins come into play via the same mechanic: once a full stack is matched these lock into place and the reels are rolled. With some luck, the whole screen will be full of matching symbols and wins that come with them.

The same re-spin features with the free spins. These come five, ten, or fifteen at a time, depending on how many free spin symbol stacks land on the reels. The free spins also come with multipliers that can double or triple your wins, if you are lucky enough.

Our Take

Showdown Saloon comes with excellent graphics, and overall the game is quite a visual spectacle. Sounds effects and music do their work, though they could use a bit of work. The game has high volatility which makes it a bit of a gamble, especially when the maximum wins are not high enough to challenge the top slots, let alone jackpots. Try the game here to see if it fits your fancy.
