Will NetEnt’s New Wild Wild West Slot Be A Wild Wild Ride?

18+

And, lets be honest, this little slot machine has a lot of competition.

You’ve got Divine Fortune coming in January 24th; a new jackpot slot which could rival the great Mega Fortune.

Then you’ve got the uniquely simple, but familiar, Joker Pro on the 9th of February.

Think that’s it? Oh, no. An oldie, but good, the Hall of Gods mobile slot game will be out on the 16th of February.

With all this competition on the cards, can will this Wild Wild West slot rise to the challenge? Or will the train pass you by, with the richness within riding off into the sunset without you?

NetEnt’s Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist Slot

First things first; the slot video giving us all the clues we need to judge this future NetEnt mobile slot.

Looks good doesn’t it? Except…

Another ridiculously long title

It seems like NetEnt go through phases.

First they went through a phase of naming games with some one word titles; like Lights, or Sparks, or Stickers slot.

But recently they’ve done a 360 and gone totally the other way around.

We sorta understand why Fairytale Legends Red Riding Hood slot has a long name; we suspect they are creating a series and there’s a fair few other Red Riding Hood games out there.

But then you also have games like Theme Park: Tickets of Fortune, Drive: Multiplier Mayhem, Pyramid: Quest for Immortality, and so on…

Not to be confused with the movie… We guess?

So either someone at NetEnt really, really, love semi-colons, or they didn’t want anyone to confuse this Wild Wild West slot game with the Will Smith movie of the same name.

Personally, we’re going with the semi-colon lover theory.

And yes, we know this isn’t important in the grand scheme of things, it’s just a little pet peeve of ours that we had to mention.

Especially when you consider that the slot’s theme looks pretty cool, so perhaps we can be a little more forgiving on the title.

Semi-comic book, semi-western, semi-villainous

NetEntertainment have always been good with the overall design of a slot machine, and this Great Train Heist Wild West slot game looks to be no different.

It has comic book style graphics, which have a hand-drawn quality that makes this feel edgy rather than old-fashioned (ie. à la Jack Hammer 2 slot style).

Then there’s the little details; how the spin button is a six shooter that spins every time you press it, like a crazy game of Russian roulette.

Or how you’re part of a gang of four villainous brigands, out chasing the riches that this train has amongst its carriages.

The gameplay of this new NetEnt slot:

Of course, this could be the Monet of slots, but unless it’s gameplay is any good, we’re not going to take a single spin.

And if the name of this video slot annoyed us, the gameplay doesn’t exactly bring thousand mile and hour thrills to our hearts either.

From what we can see you get:

• Wilds and scatters
• 10 paylines over 5 reels
• One click me bonus
• One free spin bonus with potentially 4 different wilds

That’s… kinda it?

Will it be enough?

Sure. After all, some of the greatest slots of all time have stuck to the tried and tested routine of 2 bonus games and wilds and scatters.

Not to look too much further from home, but the Dead or Alive mobile slot has exactly that, and 10 paylines. It’s still one of the best loved NetEnt games online.

And this Wild Wild West slot machine has the advantage of having much nicer graphics.

So are you saying there will be big wins?

It would be easy to assume that, consider we’ve just compared it to Dead or Alive game, we’re saying you’re going to get some blazing big wins here.

After all, it is called the Great Train Heist slot? Right? So you’ll be practically robbing the casinos… right?

Well, not quite. But perhaps not too far off.

After all, Dead or Alive only had a 2x multiplier during the free spins, whilst in this Wild Wild West Touch slot, you can get up to 3x multiplier.

But it’s far too reliant on wilds

Unfortunately, that multiplier only comes on wild wins, of which you have 1 in 4 chance of triggering that particular bonus.

It’s the problem with any slot where you have to spin a wheel to get different free spin features; chances are you’re bound to be disappointed most of the time.

Then again, NetEnt’s exclusive Scruffy Duck slot has similar mechanics, and it was fun enough.

So perhaps there’s hope yet.

Should we be excited for the Wild Wild West mobile slot?

Honestly, we are kinda more excited about the release of the Hall of Gods jackpot slot on the 16th of February.

But that’s us being a little bit boring, namely because we know what to expect from Hall of Gods.

Namely the chance to win millions, and tried and tested mechanics that gets us playing for longer.

However, if we decided to take a walk on the wild side and into the great unknown… then sure. We’d say that out of all the new NetEnt mobile slots due out in the next month, this one is the most exciting.

Where can I play NetEnt slot games?

Too excited to wait for the 23rd of February? Can’t say we blame you. It’s going to be an exciting month ahead thanks to this game studio.

So if you want to stretch your budget till then, we have one great NetEnt Touch casino in the books that we recommend.

Casumo gives you 20 free spins no deposit on Starburst, and then a further 5 deposit bonuses totalling up to £€1,200.

Plus, after your first deposit you get a further 180 free spins, just to keep you spinning.

We promise, February 23rd will come round faster than you can say Yeehaw!
