Players seeking the best online slots will want to look closely at Rival Gaming’s Big Bang Buckaroo.
This three-reel mini-slot is set in a robotic Old West. Overseen by a sheriff with a metallic handlebar moustache,
Theme
This title has all the making of a classic, John Wayne-style Western. In fact, it’s hero moves even more stiffly than Wayne…
because he’s made of metal!
The robot sheriff is just the tip of the iceberg, however. Machine elements are clearly visible behind the three reels, with exposed gears and wires everywhere.
For all the futuristic elements of a robo-Western video slot, though, many of this title’s elements go back to the oldest traditions of the slot genre. Gaming symbols include different colors and combinations of bullet-shaped Bar symbols and lucky sevens, as well as metal sheriff badges.
This title’s most important symbol, however…
… is the android sheriff symbol, with his red kerchief, Stetson hat, and glowing green eyes. He acts as wild, substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations while also offering this game’s top payout at 1500x for three-of-a-kind.

Our Take
It’s certainly refreshing to see an original take on the much-overlooked mini-slot genre! Rival Gaming has taken their unique theme and run with it, creating a steampunk Western with a gaming atmosphere all its own.
The one major oversight here is the RTP, which is not nearly as high as we’d like.
With that said, however, any mini-slot that offers a top payout of 1500x is worth gamblers’ consideration.
A more complex offering from this designer would be Mystic Wolf. This feature-packed lupine slot offers higher RTP than Big Bang Buckaroo, and the two together create an accurate picture of what Rival Gaming is capable of.
