Take a trip back to the wild west with Sunset Showdown from Microgaming. A 25 line slot machine the game has a re-spin bonus as well as a pick a box shootout bonus. Top jackpot is 7500 coins per coin bet or 75000 coins if you are playing the maximum bet of 250 coins per spin.
The Cowgirl symbol is wild and substitutes for all symbols except the scattered guns. Five Cowgirl symbols on an active line pay the top jackpot of 7500 coins. Second highest pay is 2500 coins for five of the scattered guns and third highest pay is 1250 coins for five of the horses.
Getting three or more scattered gun symbols awards the Baddy Feature. Here you move on to a second screen stage where the Cowgirl faces off with a group of bandits (View Screenshot). There are a total of seven bandits and you get to pick five. Each pick awards a bonus prize based on the amount of the triggering bet. Once you have picked five your win is paid and the bonus ends.
Back on the reels and Sunset Showdown has a second bonus. Get a wild Cowgirl on reels 1 and 5 and you activate the re-spin bonus. All wins are paid and the wilds expand to take up all of the first and last reels. The remaining reels then re-spin three times and any additional wins are paid (Screenshot).
The re-spin feature gives you a great chance of hitting some big wins as you only need to line up three reels instead of five. It would have been great to see a multiplier for the re-spins but obviously with the chances of hitting the jackpot increased in a major way a multiplier would be a bit much.
Sunset Showdown has a good range of coin sizes with seven to choose from. This makes it a game for all budgets as you can bet between 1c and 25c per line and have the option to play up to ten coins per line. The maximum bet range is $2.50 to $62.50.
Overall, Sunset Showdown is a great quality game from Microgaming. The re-spin feature adds to the fun and the Baddy Feature always awards some good bonus prizes. Finally the game has an Australian style double up feature where you can try to double your wins. |
