Gun Slinger Fully Loaded is a video slot from Blueprint Gaming that is perfect for people who yearn for discovery and freedom. The Wild West setting is somewhat lawless but incredibly simple.

You know your role, and that you matter to your group.

For some people, that’s enough to get by in life. And that is the motto this game carries when offering you special features, too.

You get free spins with special expanding symbols and a chance at buying the bonus of your dreams. Gun Slinger Fully Loaded is a Book of Ra clone, with some twists.

There is a “Buy a Bonus” feature, and you get to pick your special symbol for the free spins bonus.

Gun Slinger Fully Loaded introduction, including RTP and variance

The title is played on a 5×3 playing board with 10 fixed paylines. Pays are awarded for connecting three or more identical symbols in adjacent positions. These icons must follow one of the active paylines and must start with the leftmost reel.

The theoretical payout (RTP) for Gun Slinger Fully Loaded is quite variable. During regular gameplay, it fluctuates between 95.13% up to 96.18%.

While playing free spins, the RTP increases, ranging from 95.60% up to 96.50%. The slot carefully walks the line between medium and high variance. It offers the best of both worlds, with some drawbacks.

Gameplay and Pay Table

Icons are split into higher and lower-paying tiers. Lower-paying symbols include the colourful and ever-generic playing card royals. Higher-paying icons include a hat, a pair of revolvers with an ammo belt, a horse, and a wanted poster. The wanted poster is also the highest paying symbol, rewarding 5000x for a five-of-a-kind win.

The bounty hunter is a joint Wild-Scatter icon. That means he can substitute for all other symbols in the game and activates the lucrative free spins bonus feature.

Gun Slinger Fully Loaded bonus features

Unlike most other Blueprint Gaming releases, this one is quite mechanically simple. Collect three, four or five Wild-Scatters to win a cash prize worth 2x, 20x or 200x your total bet. You also earn 10 free spins and get the option to pick one special symbol.

Said icon can then be collected, and if enough of them appear, the chosen symbol expands across the entirety of the reel.

It is possible to retrigger free spins by collecting three or more Wild-Scatters.

Finally, impatient players can skip the grind and buy the bonus directly. Each purchased free spins round will set you back 120x your stake, so you have to win more than that to break even. We would not recommend trying this out, but who knows. You might get lucky!

CasinoWizard’s verdict on Gun Slinger Fully Loaded video slot

Blueprint Gaming tends to fill its games with multiple special features, which keeps engagement high.

Going for something simpler in the form of a Book of Ra clone might be a logical step, but free spins and expanding icons have been done to death. They are certainly not enough to carry a title.

Credit where it’s due, the Blueprint design team has outdone themselves by bringing a broody atmosphere that makes you want to jump on a horse and ride off into the sunset.

The slow, somber music, the distant sun being hidden by passing clouds. A quiet, small town where travelers stop to have a drink and relax before continuing on their journey.

The RTP is decent but dips below the current average too often for our liking. Still, with its medium-high volatility, we can see this slot becoming very popular. Especially when you consider the maximum prize, worth 5,000x your total stake!

4 out of 5 stars.
