My Opinion
I’ve been playing Wanted Dead or a Wild for fun since it came out in September 2024. I shared my impressions of the online game below.
Shooting it Out in the Base Game
I have to say the dry spells from the extremely high volatility play were testing. Hope broke through when I landed a VS symbol along with winning combinations. That’s when the DuelReels awarded me with one of two multipliers, resulting in huge wins. I regularly won $50+, $254 once, with a $2 bet. I’ve seen such base-game winning potential only with high-paying slots like Fox Fire.
How the Three Free Spins Rounds Felt
Each special feature gave me 10 FS, but they had different mechanics. Here’s what they were about:
The Train Robbery feature (80x cost via Bonus Buy) had medium volatility and sticky wilds, like in the Dead or Alive slot machine. I liked that the wilds landed often.
The Duel at Dawn feature (200x cost) took the DuelReels to the next level. It had a very high volatility and landed VS symbols with boosted multipliers (up to 100x). I liked the increased intensity of this round.
Lastly, I found the Dead Man’s Hand (400x) to be the best part of the game. It felt like a Sugar Rush but was even more profitable. I won $530 with it once.
Who is the Game For?
I think the feature depth and fancy animations would definitely appeal to younger players with steady nerves.
