Get to Know The Wild Gang Symbols

It's hard to imagine a Wild West-themed slot machine without boots, bottles, knives, pistols, and badges. These are the highest-paying symbols, while ultra-Western-styled cards from A to J are the lower-paying ones.

Four wild symbols act as scatter symbols and only appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. As the name Wild Gang implies, these wilds are the central part of all game stages.

Below is the paytable view:

• Badge: 7.50x for matching 6 of a kind
• Pistol: 3x for matching 6 of a kind
• Knife: 2x for matching 6 of a kind
• Bottle: 1.50x for matching 6 of a kind
• Boots: 1x for matching 6 of a kind
• A and K: 0.70x for matching 6 of a kind
• Q and J: 0.60x for matching 6 of a kind

As The Wild Gang tricks don't persist in the presence of RNG, the best you can do is familiarise yourself with the game symbols, paytable, and features that usually have higher winning possibilities.

Winnings appear when you land at least 3 identical symbols on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel. There are 2,304 active paylines, and the highest pay is provided for landing 6 badge symbols on the reels.

The wild symbols have a double function here. They appear only on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 and substitute for all other symbols. While vanishing from the reels, they leave a random multiplier behind. Conversely, if 3 or 4 wild symbols appear on the reels, they will act as scatter symbols, triggering the free spins round.

A Wild West-themed slot machine wouldn't be original if it didn't include some mystery. There are Mystery symbols that will convert all regular symbols into the same one, with the exception of wild symbols. The Wild Gang tips on playing the game can be found on the game's info page.

The Wild Gang How to Win

The base game is already rewarding with the wild multipliers as well as Mystery symbols on the reels. But The Wild Gang Bonus round comes with an innovative multiplier system that will take the game to a whole new level. Let's check them all:

• Wanted Free Spins: There are two options for The Wild Gang Free Spins. The first option starts when you land 3 scatters, triggering the Wanted Free Spins round, which awards you 8 free spins. During this feature, the wild/scatter symbols only act as wild symbols. When the wild symbols appear for the first time, they will carry a 2x multiplier. The second time, they will carry a 3x multiplier, while the third time, there will be no multiplier.
• Dead or Alive Free Spins: If you hit 4 scatters in the base game, you'll activate the Dead or Alive Free Spins round, where the game grid will expand to 6x4 size, causing the availability of 4,096 ways to win. A wild will carry a 2x multiplier the first time, and the second time, the multiplier will rise up to 4x. The third appearance of the wild won't hold any multipliers. All multipliers in this feature will be collected in the meter that will be active during this feature. The multipliers in the meter will be multiplied among each other, and the total multiplier will be added at the end of the free spins round.
• Bonus Buy Game: If your bankroll allows, you can buy the Wanted round for 80x your bet, while the Dead or Alive round will cost you 200x your bet.

While the base game is not super rewarding, the real action happens in the free spins round. The winning potential of 10,000x is great, and the multipliers in the base game and the free spins round add to the game's popularity.

Pragmatic Play churns out many new slot games monthly, so it's hard to recommend the best. Still, the most played games from this developer at Betsson are Gates of Olympus Jackpot Play and Big Bass Bonanza Jackpot Play.
