Northern Lights Gaming, an exclusive studio under Games Global, has expanded its UnusualSuspects series with a new Western-themed slot, Wanted: Unusual Suspects™. This immersive slot takes players into the chaotic world of the Old West, where lawlessness runs rampant, and the player must step into the role of a resolute sheriff, determined to catch notorious outlaws and recover stolen loot.
With vivid visuals and engaging gameplay mechanics, this latest release promises to captivate both fans of the series and new players who enjoy Western-themed adventures.
In Wanted: Unusual Suspects™, players embark on an action-packed mission to track down outlaws. As the sheriff, the player spins the reels, collecting Gold Coins stolen by the criminals. The goal is to catch these bandits and return the stolen goods to the town. Gold Coins left behind by the outlaws take the form of Sticky Wild Frames. These Sticky Wilds are activated once the Sheriff symbol, which acts as the Wild in the game, appears on the reels to collect the Gold Coins.
The sheriff's quest doesn't stop with just recovering the stolen gold. Outlaws who are caught find themselves behind bars, where they await the "Perk Pick" feature—a special bonus round that enhances the Bonus Spins mode.
The game's Bonus Spins feature adds to the excitement by offering players the opportunity to further enhance their winnings. Bonus Spins are triggered when three, four, or five Scatter symbols land on the reels. Once this happens, players are taken to a jail where five suspects line up, awaiting their fate.
In this unique twist, players must select one of the suspects, each revealing a distinct Bonus Spins Upgrade Perk. These perks can modify the Free Spins mode, making it even more rewarding. If players have managed to fill the Perk Pick Meter during the base game, they will unlock an extra Perk for added bonuses.
As the Bonus Games commence, the Sticky Wild Frames from the base game remain in place for the duration of the feature. Additionally, whenever the Sheriff symbol lands, it moves one position up the feature upgrade trail, increasing the chances of capturing outlaws. Capturing each outlaw rewards players with a Multiplier and additional Spins.
Notably, all the Perks earned during the mini-game are active throughout the entire Free Spins round, ensuring a high-energy, action-filled experience.
Beyond the thrilling Bonus Spins mode, Wanted: Unusual Suspects™ introduces several other captivating bonus features. One such feature is the Exploding Wilds, which trigger randomly whenever an Outlaw symbol lands. As the name suggests, these symbols explode, filling the reels with multiple Wilds to increase the player's winning potential.
For those eager to jump straight into the action without waiting for the regular gameplay to unfold, the game includes a "Buy Bonus" option. This allows players to purchase access to the Free Spins mode or the enhanced Super Free Spins, offering them instant entry to the most lucrative features of the game.
Andrew Goodale, CEO of Northern Lights Gaming, expressed his excitement about the release, stating, "Wanted: Unusual Suspects™ is the latest title in our hugely popular Unusual Suspects franchise. This time, players find themselves in the Wild West where they must join the Sheriff as he hunts down outlaws and reclaim the bounties they have stolen."
Goodale also highlighted the game's various bonus features, noting, "For those that can hold their nerve, ride strong, and shoot straight, there are plenty of rewards up for grabs, helped of course by the game’s bonus features including Coins, Sticky Wild Frames, Multipliers, and Free Spins."
Packed with fast-paced gameplay, immersive graphics, and generous rewards, Wanted: Unusual Suspects™ offers an engaging experience for players who enjoy the thrill of spinning the reels in a Western-themed setting.
