Why Play’n GO’s Gunslinger Reloaded Slot Is A Special Release

18+

Come the 25th of October 2018 Play’n Go studios have announced that they will be releasing their new jackpot slot Gunslinger Reloaded.

And this isn’t just another one of their game releases like their latest machine Iron Girl or even the last western Golden Colt slot exclusive at Mr Green casino right now.

Nope. This is a weird mix of old and new as Play’n GO do something they rarely do before: recycle.

Is Gunslinger Reloaded just the Gunslinger slot?

That’s right folks. There’s an old game by Play’n GO called the Gunslinger online slot and found at online casinos only.

That’s how old it is; it’s never been converted to a mobile-friendly interface.

Back in the dawn of casino times, you could only play via your desktop computer or laptop. Crazy, we know, but hey, thank god for smartphones.

Anyway, a little company called Play’n GO decided to get into the slot machine making game and came out with some simple but well-received games. At this time the original Gunslinger slot was born.

Then, a little company called Apple created an iPhone and the world as we know it changed.

All for the better for Play’n GO. It turned out that they began to focus all their attention on making mobile slots and the rest is… well, maybe not history, but certainly a casino story worth knowing.

Out with the old, in with the new slot game

Well, for that we will have to wait and see when it comes out on the 25th of October, but the big piece of news is that they the old Gunslinger game is dead.

Long live the new Gunslinger Reloaded slot machine!

They haven’t removed everything. For one, you get the same old-timey Western slot graphics depicting your stallions, colts, wanted posters, gold and busty ladies.

But the graphics have been improved and given a much needed modern edge.

For two, both games are 25 payline video slots with wilds, scatters, free spins, click me bonus and a jackpot.

Is this replacement a good idea?

This isn’t that unusual. Thunderkick did it with their Barbershop Uncut slot and Bork the Berzerker game, and sometimes it’s better to improve an old game than to just… get rid of it.

Which is what NetEnt tend to do. Who here remembers Tiki Wonders, Icy Wonders, and Geisha Wonders?

After all, Gunslinger was a nice little jackpot slot game. The jackpots never went very high, because they were local to the casino and it wasn’t a popular jackpot game… but it was fun to play.

So we are glad they’ve brought it into the 21st century and hope they keep the elements that made it entertaining.

So how is the Gunslinger Reloaded slot different?

Well, they’ve reworked the maths, the features and the graphics. So it’s basically a brand new slot game.

Does this worry us? Well not really. Granted we just said the original was entertaining, but it wasn’t something we played often.

Mostly because it was an online slot game and we largely play on Android and iPad mobile casinos.

They’ve basically kept all the features you love, but changed how they work to make them more interesting.

The Gunslinger Reloaded slot bonuses looks like fun:

The free spins are more or less the same. You get three scatters and you shoot bottles to find out if you’ve won anything from 10 to 25 free spins with a 2x multiplier.

But it’s the bounty hunter that looks a lot of fun, as you pick your target and chase the outlaw through the town; shooting bottles, knives and dynamite, before meeting in the epic face off!

• Jessie Picket – 2x multiplier and pays between 6-36x total bet.
• Butch Curry – 3x multiplier and pays between 3-72x total bet.
• Wild Bill – 4x multiplier and pays between 1.2-240x total bet.

Multi-stage bonuses are usually good fun, especially when made by Play’n GO. Just take a look at the Hugo 2 slot for example; that click me game really made the machine.

You can win a jackpot or/and 5,000 times your bet

Play’n GO love volatile games, but they’ve cleverly made this Gunslinger Reloaded mobile slot medium variance.

Why cleverly? Because so many jackpot progressive slots are low variance in order to keep you playing until you can hit the jackpot – with no decent win within.

Not so here. You can win as much as 5,000 times your bet, with a decent minimum bet of 0.25 a spin up to a decent high roller 100 a spin.

But the reasons for this reboot is to get more people playing to make this as popular a local progressive jackpot as NetEnt’s Divine Fortune.

How much can you win in this Gunslinger Jackpot slot?

2.5% of your bet contributes towards building that local progressive jackpot prize.

Because it’s local, it means that every single casino will have a different prize on offer, as only the bets made at that Play’n GO gambling site will count.

So it won’t ever get into the millions, especially as the jackpot seeds at 1,000. Not a huge number.

But, given enough players and time, the game software have told us that they expect this game to pay out often, usually around the 60 to 65 thousand mark. Many times probably more, probably sometimes less.

But who of us wouldn’t like that little cash boost at the end of the month?

Are we looking forward to the release of Gunslinger Reloaded slot?

Gunslinger Reloaded will be out on October 25th 2018. We don’t have that long to wait to see it hit our mobile phone screens.

And you know what? Yes, we do want to see what this remodel looks and plays like. Because whilst the first certainly was fun enough, it wasn’t stupendous; it probably was a little better than Arabian Nights from NetEnt, but that’s not saying much.

So here’s their chance to bring these tenacious outlaws into the 21st century and make this a worthwhile casino jackpot game we can all enjoy week to week.

Till then there’s always the Book of Dead slot review to read and play at great sites like the always fair Guts casino.
