Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist is one of the more popular NetEnt slots, released in early 2017 to great critical acclaim and fan acceptance.

It takes you on a wild train ride to the old American frontier as you take the role of train robbers!

The maximum win is 50,000 coins in this Western-themed, enjoyable, 5-reel and 10-payline game.

Introduction, including RTP and variance

Wild Wild West is a 10-payline game with a 3×5 reel set and is one of those standard games in which the main goal is to trigger free spins. There is another bonus game in which you pick to reveal your prize.

The theoretical return to player (RTP) percentage of Wild Wild West is 96.75%, and the hit frequency of the main game is 21.60%. That means one in five spins will result in a win. However, this is still a slot with higher variance, as the free spins game is what you’ll be waiting for, and wait for a while you will.

Wild Wild West gameplay and paytable

There are four main symbols, the train robber characters, and four more card symbols for a total of eight paying symbols in this game. There’s also a Wild, and two Scatters.

All of the symbols have beautiful comic book artwork, and this is one of the better-looking slots out there.

While wins will be rather frequent, they’ll be small, and the game will inevitably be dragging you down into a negative balance, where you’ll be hoping for a bonus feature to rescue the day.

Bonus Features

The main bonus feature in Wild Wild West is the free spins game, and you’ll get 10, 20 or 30 free spins for 3, 4, or 5 Scatters respectively.

Before the feature starts, your bonus will be chosen randomly for you; it can be a regular Wild, Expanding Wild, 2x Multiplier Wild, or Spreading Wild.

There is at least one Wild symbol on the reels during every free spin, so this could result in some massive wins during the free spins game, especially if you’ve triggered more than 10.

There is also a pick & click bonus game, appropriately named Pick and Click, which gets triggered when you land three Golden Safe Scatters in the main game.

You’ll pick one of the three Golden Safe Scatters, and your prize is revealed. It will be between 5x and 50x your bet.

CasinoWizard’s verdict: 3 out of 5 slots

As far as slot games in which you wait for free spins go, Wild Wild West is a stunning title that does what the players expect it to.

It will offer medium variance, small wins to slow down your descent into a negative bankroll, and a hugely rewarding free spins game that’s worth the wait, all wrapped up in a beautifully themed package.

It’s a traditional slot game style, and Wild Wild West doesn’t do anything new but does it well.

Two thumbs up from CasinoWizard for this NetEnt slot game!
