By Matt Kennedy | Updated 30 August 2016

You might want to secure your holster and make sure your six-shooter is loaded as you take a trip to the old American frontier to play Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist. This newly released game from Netent goes all guns blazing when it comes to design, format and bonus features. Whether you’re a fan of classic western films or not, you’re sure to be blown away by the slick design of this slot.

Theme

The graphics of Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist have a decidedly comic book feel to them. Laid out in a similar style to the stories in your favourite classic comics, the action here follows a gang of outlaws as they attempt to rob a train speeding through the wild western landscape. The gang is made up of four outlaws; one woman and three men, each with their own unique personality and characteristics. Aside from gang members, other symbols on the reels include clubs, hearts, spades and diamonds.The designers at Netent are known for their intricate attention to detail, and this game is no exception. From the bullet casing shape of the control buttons to the realistic sound effects which sound straight out of a spaghetti western, there is no questioning the theme of Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist.

How to play

There are five reels, three rows and 10 fixed betting lines to play with here. Game play is simple and straightforward, with spins available from 10p to £100. Once you’ve settled on a stake that suits you, all that’s left to do is hit the spin or auto-play buttons.

Bonuses and extras

There are two brilliant bonuses in this slot. The first is the Pick and Click feature, triggered by three or more safe symbols appearing on the reels at once. You will be prompted to pick one of these safes and reveal the mystery prize inside. This could be any cash amount between 5X and 50X your stake. Then there is the free spins bonus which dishes out between 10 and 30 spins.
