Slot Summary

A Wild West saloon and its wanted outlaws give Cowboy a direct setting for Smartsoft Gaming's 20-line slot format. The medium-volatility game posts a 98.4% RTP, then separates its main feature choices between dynamite-triggered Free Spins, a safe-picking Bonus Game, stacked Wild substitutions, and a card-based Gamble option after wins.

How It Plays

Base-game combinations run from left to right across 20 adjustable paylines, allowing the number of active lines to be selected before a spin.

Wanted-poster Wilds substitute for regular symbols and can appear stacked, while dynamite symbols serve a different role by opening the Free Spins selection sequence.

Theme & Atmosphere

The Wild West and Desert setting centers on a saloon, outlaws, cactuses, boots, bottles, revolvers, and sheriff imagery rather than a modern casino floor.

Alcohol and Bomb themes divide the symbol set between saloon life and dynamite, with the latter marking the route into the main Bonus Game.

Features & Win Potential

The Wild Symbol can appear stacked and replace ordinary symbols, increasing the number of line combinations influenced by one reel position.

Risk/Gamble (Double) play follows a completed win and asks for a higher-card selection, offering a double-or-lose decision separate from the reels.

Free Spins Wild Symbol Medium volatility 5 Reels Bonus Game Bonus symbols 20 Paylines Risk/Gamble (Double) game 98% RTP

Bonus & Free Spins

Three or more Bonus symbols open a screen containing ten safes. The selected safe determines an award ranging from one to ten Free Spins.

Additional dynamite symbols during Free Spins can add more spins, while stacked Wilds remain available to substitute within the bonus-round line combinations.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (98.40%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
