Western Frontier is a high quality online video slots game produced by Microgaming, the leaders in online casino software. The theme of this game has to do with the Wild West and the early settlers who roamed the dusty plains on their wagons and horses. Filled with Cowboys and Indians, horses and wagons, the backdrop to this Wild West game is a picturesque view of the plains at dusk. The graphics although somewhat basic are of high quality as is the sound effects and background music, giving the game an authentic look and feel.

5-Reel Wild West Slot

The slot machine in Western Frontier is based on the classic Microgaming 5-reel 15 payline setup. The game itself features wild symbols, scatter symbols, a gamble feature and an impressive bonus round. On the reels players will find a host of symbols that were synonymous with the Wild West and the desert plains including: a wagon, a tepee, a cooking fire, weapons, a horse shoe and a stallion. Completing the reels are the standard high card symbols stylised to blend into the theme of the game.

Stallion Wild Symbol

In the Western Frontier slots game, the stallion symbol plays the role of the wild symbol. In this game, the wild symbol can substitute for any of the other standard reel symbols in order to complete a winning payline. The only symbol the wild symbol cannot substitute for is the horseshoe scatter symbol. The wild symbol in this game plays an important role during the free spin bonus round where it acts as a multiplier and a way to earn more spins.

Indian Feature Bonus Round

The scatter symbol in Western Frontier is played by the golden horseshoe. Scatter symbols pay in any positon on the reels. The scatter symbol is also the key to triggering the game’s two-tiered bonus free spin bonus round. To trigger the bonus round, players must land 3 or more horseshoe symbols anywhere on the reels. Once triggered, the Indian Feature will begin. In Indian Feature, players will receive 8 free spins to start out. In this feature, the stallion wild symbol acts as a 2x multiplier. The number of wild symbols landed in the Indian feature will determine the number of free spins and multipliers in the Cowboy Feature.

Cowboy Feature Bonus Round

In the Western Frontier slot game, the free spin Cowboy Feature begins as soon as the Indian Feature ends. Depending on how many wild symbols were landed in the Indian feature, players will then receive the corresponding number of free spins and multipliers in the Cowboy Feature. The number of free spins and multipliers are as follows:

  • 0 to 3 Wild symbols – 8 free spins + 2x multiplier
    •4 to 7 wild Symbols – 10 free spins + 3x multiplier
    •8 to 11 Wild Symbols – 12 free spins + 4x multiplier
    •12 to 15 Wild Symbols – 14 free spins + 5x multiplier
    •16 or more Wild Symbols – 16 free spins + 6x multiplier

In this game, the free spin bonus round can be re-triggered by landing 3 or more horse shoe scatter symbols anywhere on the reels.
