Western novels, Western comics and Western movies have enthralled generations. Westerns are rich in imagery and include plenty of action and therefore make an ideal theme for online slots. Most leading software providers include at least one western themed online slot in their portfolio.

Playtech offers two excellent Western themed slots machines at its online casinos. One is Silver Bullet and the other is Wanted Dead or Alive. This article recommends Wanted Dead or Alive. The game loads with the Wanted poster pinned on the wall. The background to the reels is a Western town. During win combinations gun shots are heard. Thus the Western atmosphere is created perfectly. The dynamite is not only the wild symbol but it also awards the highest line payout. The cash sack triggers the bonus game on the reels. Players select one of the sacks and are awarded bonus credits. The pistol symbol triggers the Western themed bonus game on the second screen. The player has to shoot the outlaw who is hiding in one of six locations. The fewer bullets that are used by the player, the higher is the bonus prize. Wanted Dead or Alive can be played at Playtech online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino.

Western Wildness is the Western themed slot game from Rival Gaming. The cowboy, his girl and the outlaw are introduced in the video clip. The symbols include these characters, cash bag, boots, horse shoe, sheriff’s badge and bullets. As is the practice in Rival Gaming slots the animations are interesting. The cowboy twirls his pistol and the outlaw fires several shots in the air. The wheel is the wild symbol. It appears only on reel one only but acts as an expanding wild and also doubles the payouts. The double barrel shotgun awards up to 100 free spins with all payouts tripled. The ox skull symbol triggers the bonus game on the second screen. The player is given six shots with which he has to shoot at bottles. For each bottle that is broken the player is awarded bonus points. If the broken bottle reveals a money bag then the bottles are reset. If the broken bottles reveal an ammunition box then the gun is reloaded. Western Wildness can be played at Rival Gaming online casinos like Ruby Royal.

The software provider Microgaming has to do things differently. In its Western themed slot game Sunset Showdown the protagonist is a cowgirl. The cowgirl is a powerful symbol that acts as a wild symbol, doubles payouts when in winning combinations and offers the highest line payout. When the cowgirl appears on reels 1 and 5 simultaneously, she expands to cover both reels. The other reels are then spun three times without the player staking any wager, but payouts if any are credited to his balance. The revolver is the scatter symbol and it also triggers the bonus game on the second screen. The cowgirl saunters down the main street of the Western town shooting at the outlaws on the roof. Random prizes are awarded for each outlaw killed. The other symbols on the reels are also taken from the Western theme. They include rider, money bag, saddle and boots. Sunset Showdown can be played at Microgaming online casinos like Platinum Play, Spin Palace and All Slots.
