King of The West Review

Blueprint has plenty of solid slots under their belt, but King of The West is hardly up there with the best in the Wild West genre. The design looks kind of cheap and hastily put together, and even though the soundtrack and the sound effects try hard, the gritty atmosphere from superb installments such as Deadwood or El Paso Gunfight will just not manifest in this game.

It’s hard to go completely wrong with a wild west slot however, and the sliding top reel can award a solid instant cash prize up to 10,000x your stake. Don’t expect to even see that prize very often though, and the base game offers mostly measly returns across the board. Getting extra spins in the bonus round didn’t seem too hard, and the overall 50,000x potential will probably intrigue some players.

King of The West slot Features

You might not see them too often in the base game, but the bullet hole wild can land to step in for all regular pay symbols. This helps you complete win lines, and the wild symbol holds no value of its own in this game.

The wilds truly come to their right when you trigger the random Wanted Wilds feature. It can happen on any given spin in the base game, and you’ll then get a random number of wilds spread arbitrarily across the reels. You can even trigger a Reload feature, where even more wilds are added to the grid.

The top sliding prize reel is the headliner feature, and it’s active in all stages of the game.

The base game comes with both premium/character prize symbols, as well as low-value prize tiles. In addition, you have gold badges that awards all prizes in view and free games tiles which triggers the Bonus Round. During the bonus round, you can also win extra spins via the extra free games tiles.

A six-shooter gun barrel spins to determine the number of free spins you get, and this can be 6, 8, 10, 12, 15 or 20 spins. The same barrel spins again when you trigger extra spins.

The 200 Spins King of The West slot Experience

We trigger the bonus round at the very beginning of the edited highlights video, as nothing too interesting happened in the base game anyway. You thus get around 4 minutes of pure free spins pleasure, and we retrigger the feature several times. How much we got away with however, you’ll have to see for yourself.

Review Summary

To paraphrase Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones: “a true king doesn’t have to say he’s the king”. The same can be said about Blueprint’s King of The West, as there is nothing here that threatens the true alphas of the wild west genre. The base game comes with measly regular wins, small cash prizes and the occasional random wilds feature. Nothing overly exciting is to be expected in other words.

Visually, the game looks more like a low-budget movie set than the real thing, although some of the sound effects are kind of cool. The highest cash prize is worth 10,000x your stake in the bonus round, but you’ll mostly see numbers far lower than that. The 50,000x potential (capped at £250,000) seems a bit far-fetched, but if you’re into jackpot-style bounty hunting, you might appreciate the setup in this game.

Pros

• Random wild feature
• Top prize reel feature
• Bonus round w/ premium prizes
• Win up to 50,000x your stake

Cons

• Max win capped at £250,000
• 95.49 % RTP is below average
