Wild Bandolier

A bandolier is a cartridge belt worn across the chest, and Play'n GO builds Wild Bandolier around that image on a Wild West main street. Wooden shopfronts frame the reels while the base game runs, and the action shifts to the interior of a dusty saloon for the bonus. It arrived on 23 March 2023.

The playfield is five reels by three rows with 20 fixed paylines, and combinations pay from three to five matching symbols. Bets can be set between 0.10 and 50 per spin. RTP is 96%, volatility is medium, and the highest payout is capped at 2,000x the stake, a lower ceiling than many releases from the same studio.

On the paytable, the ten through ace card ranks form the cheap tier, with five of a kind paying between 2x and 5x. The better-paying icons are themed: a boot, a glass, a bottle, a pistol and a pair of characters, and a full line of any of them is worth 8x to 25x. The wild is a bullet that can land on every reel. It takes the place of all symbols apart from the scatter, and five of them across a payline return 100x.

The Wild Bullet feature may strike on any spin, whether in the base game or the free spins. Up to six bullet wilds are fired onto random positions, which is often enough to join up a line that would otherwise have missed.

Free spins begin when three scatters land, with 10 spins awarded. Before the round starts, three wanted posters are displayed and one is chosen. Behind the poster is the minimum number of bullet wilds that will appear over the course of the round: 10, 25 or 40. Each spin also carries a win multiplier of up to 5x, applied to whatever that spin pays.

There is a second route into the bonus too. The Bandit can show up on any base-game spin and send play directly into the free spins without scatters being needed.

The structure is uncomplicated: a standard 20-line base game, random bullet wilds that arrive without warning, and a bonus whose strength depends on the poster picked and the multipliers that appear.
