Heading back to the times of cowboys and tumbleweed there is the theme on the reels of this mobile Gunslingers Gold slot from Nektan. Like many of their video slots this game is made deliberately for the mobile platform and as such features a rather refined and straightforward theme portrayal during the game. This includes some decent graphics and design, especially through the smaller but powerful smartphone screens. There are also other aspects of this Wild west theme delivered across to the players through the likes of backdrop, symbols and even soundtrack. Overall the delivery of this mobile slot is pretty cool.
Whilst arguably the most important aspect of the theme is presented through the symbols, it is the reels beneath these that build up the basic structure of the slot gameplay itself. These involve a set of 5 reels, with a rather minimalistic 15 pay lines layered across these to assign winning combinations through. Despite the smaller relative size, this Gunslingers Gold slot from Nektan also has some betting options, an auto play feature and additional settings buttons around the screen, layered neatly so as not to add too much clutter. In regards to bonus features this mobile slot includes the sheer basics like Wilds and some free spins, which do enough for the base game to provoke a few decent winning opportunities.
The Old Western Theme Under the Microscope
This type of theme choice is actually quite a popular one, not just for the online slot gaming industry but for popular forms of media like tv and movies. There is just quite a bit that’s cool about cowboys and their cultural tendencies. On the reels of a mobile slot this type of theme manifests itself through the symbols on the reels for the most part but also through the backdrop, background music and more. This result, tied in with the fact that this game’s graphics aren’t excellent but on a mobile platform come across well, is not a bad one on the reels.
Speaking of the reels and more directly the symbols upon these 5, this Gunslingers Gold slot has quite a few related icons that include the theme’s overall approach. First off these symbols lie upon the closed shutters of an old west tavern, with the wooden brown colour highlighting the symbols themselves all the more. Individual symbols found on these reels include sheriff’s badges, cowboy boots, bags of money and more, with even the lower tiered playing card symbols taking on the presence of old playing cards with smoking bullet holes in them. The effect is quite an appealing one from Nektan software.
Old West Bonuses and Features
Comparing to some iPhone slots, overall there is not all too much to cover in this section of this Gunslingers Gold slot from Nektan. The only two bonuses to be found on the reels is a Wild and a free spins feature. The Wild of this Slot is the black bull symbol and unsurprisingly this symbol has the ability to substitute for other symbols and form more combinations on the reels. The free spins feature however is triggered through the Scatter, which can appear anywhere on the reels and 3 or more award some free spins, set at the triggering bet value.
