If you love watching spaghetti westerns and reading books by Louis L’amour and Zane Grey, then you will fancy the latest western themed slot from Swintt. The new game is called “Lone Rider XtraWays” and focuses on a lone cowboy taking on some daring outlaws in an old Western town.
Swintt did a great job with the graphics highlighting the saloons and banks that were a common part of every Western town back in the day. You have a nice soundtrack playing in the background that prepares you for some exciting action.
Players are presented with a large grid consisting of six reels and a variable number of rows.
The rows can go from three to eight and provide you with numerous ways to win thanks to the XtraWays feature. It starts with 729 ways to win but it can go all the way up to 262,144. This is a good thing since the max cash jackpot is set at $5,000.
As for the symbols, they are all thematic. They include a cowboy, a cowgirl, a hat, a cowboy belt, horseshoes, a bag of gold, boots, bags and a handkerchief. There are also three special symbols. One is the Galloping Horse is the game’s Scatter and the Sheriff’s Badge is the Wild Symbol. There is also the Bonus symbol, which activates the XtraWays.
For betting, players have a big range to work with. Bets start at $0.50 and it can go up to $100. This is certainly a nice betting range for mid stakes and high stakes players. However players with a limited bankroll might find the $0.50 minimum bet a little too high for them.
Special Features
Here are some of the cool features that are available in this slot. The first one is the XtraWays feature. Each reel has a number above it indicating the number of rows it has. This goes up by one whenever a Bonus Symbol lands on the reel. The Bonus symbol has a number from one to five on it and increases the reel by that number. But if there are no Bonus symbols, the rows decrease by one to a minimum of three.
The Wild symbol allows for easier wins but only appears on reels two to six. Replacing any regular symbol can boost the chances of winning. The Scatter symbol will give out free spins. It starts from 10 and goes all the way up to 25. Overall, Swinnt‘s Lone Rider XtraWays is fun to play and has a nice RTP of 96.13 percent.
