Deadwood

Deadwood might be a dreadful little city, but it still draws in all kinds of characters looking for life-changing wins. As you can imagine, in a setting like this the stakes are high. It’s a western city with shootouts and all, meaning that the volatility is extremely high.

That means high wins as well, doesn’t it? It sure does, when you line up the 576 ways to win with the right symbols. Take a walk in Deadwood and see what the notorious city has to offer.

Theme and Symbols

In Deadwood the reels are surrounded by muddy streets, moulded so by countless cowboy boots. On a side street, you’ll find the Deadwood saloon, where you’ll get to take a spin on these reels. 

On the reels, you’ll find all the cards you need for a good poker hand, a drink for your other hand, and a few select guns in case things take a turn in the wrong direction. Though the game sadly lacks in animations, the sound effects and music give that finishing touch that perfects the theme.

Betting Options and Functions

The 576 ways to win is created by a reel setup where the outer reels have three symbols and each of the three middle reels come with four. In familiar fashion, wins are created by matching symbols landing on adjacent reels.

Betting is easy, as there is no need to divide the bet amongst different paylines. On the other hand, the number of ways to win also means that your average wins is quite low, way below even return. 

The highest possible win is just 3.75 times your bet...obviously, the way to win here is to score wins through as many payways as possible, instead of aiming for the highest possible single win.

Features

To help with scoring some wins the game also comes with a nice variety of different specials.

• Hunter Wild

You’ll find a full-length wild on reels two, three and four, which will always nudge to cover the entire reel. That’s not all, as each nudge also increases the win multiplier by one. These are cumulative across several wilds.

• Shoot Out

Landing the sheriff’s badge on reels one and five will result in a shootout. This time around all low-value symbols turn into wilds on the middle reels.

...Three scatters can award Gunslinger or Hunter spins...

• Gunslinger Spins

The Hunter Wild is in the game and will stick to the reels until the end of the feature. The multiplier won’t reset either. Each sheriff’s badge that lands will reward the player with an extra spin.

• Hunter Spins

Here too the sheriff's badge will land extra spins. The Hunter Wilds won’t stick to the reels, but at least one is guaranteed to land on every spin.

Both of the above can be upgraded to Shoot Out Bonus Spins if sheriff badges trigger the shoot out during the feature. This will result in spins, during which the shoot out feature is active on every roll of the reels.

Our Take

The small wins that you’ll find here might first disappoint. Soon you’ll realise that the way the special features are built means that once the bonus spins hit, it’s one orchestra of gunfire and endless wins hitting the reels. High risks and high rewards in the west on this NoLimitCity slot!
