Feast your eyes with a genuine Wild West setting where the sheriff is doing his best to keep the law and order in his small frontier town. Equipped with his cowboy boots, bandana, hat and leather west, the sheriff boasts a shiny badge on his chest and a pistol around his waist. Just try to get closer and do something shady, a bullet will hit you before you can say “Yeehaw!” Wild Sheriff video slot benefits from impressive graphics capturing the atmosphere just right, and thrilling music and sound effect meant to emphasise every action on the reels.
The slot has 5 columns and 3 rows of symbols, and a standard Cayetano Gaming control panel – minimalistic buttons and basic functions without unnecessary details that would clutter the interface. Whereas most Cayetano slots come with Autoplay, Wild Sheriff also includes a Gamble feature, an optional mini-game that can bring the player additional earnings or take what’s been won and punish the risk-taker. Sounds harsh, but that’s part of the fun, too!
The symbols you’ll encounter in Wild Sheriff are typical sheriff-esque items: his badge, his gun, a horseshoe, a harmonica and a chest of gold that he is bound to protect. These are the 5 high-value symbols. On the other hand, we also have low-value icons which are represented by generic playing card symbols from 10 to A. Wins are formed from left to right and a minimum of 3 matching symbols are needed to score a paying combo and there are 20 lines across which that is possible. The sheriff himself is the Wild and he can appear as a regular Wild, occupying one position, or stacked, where he covers an entire reel in a menacing show-down pose.
In tense conditions like this, things may get out of hand – and sometimes those things may be loaded guns! Pay attention to the sheriff as he can step in front of the reels, shoot at them and add up to 5 randomly placed Wilds to the screen. This is the Wild Shots feature, and the other bonus features is the Free Spins round which gets triggered when three Free Spins icons land anywhere in view. The reward is 20 freebies at best with all wins doubled for as long as the round lasts.
We’ve already mentioned the Gamble feature. It’s in the right lower corner, waiting to light up each time a winning spin occurs. That’s when the players have the opportunity to gamble their winnings and double them as longs as they guess the colour of the card shown on screen. With each guess, there is a 50-50 chance to win or lose.
Wild Sheriff is a dynamic slot machine that does the Wild West theme justice. Although there are plenty of these slots around, you can’t go wrong with Cayetano’s take on outlaws and trigger-happy law enforcers. Fun animations added to the gameplay make it even more immersive and the bonus features fit in quite nicely with the whole concept.
