Western Tales Slot Review

Western Tales has a bit more bonus features than an average Spinomenal slot. Due to this, the gameplay is more dynamic and less boring. My test spins resulted in a $21.4 loss. However, I was impressed with the video slot and its features, especially the Power Spin and Grand Finale at the end of free spins. I can safely recommend this Spinomenal slot because it compares favourably with the rest, bonus-wise.

Key findings after 200 spins in Western Tales

Sadly, this Spinomenal slot has not unleashed its potential during my 200 test spins. The video slot allegedly has medium (medium-to-high) volatility. I activated a bonus round two times, which resulted in excellent winnings:

• 0m 22s, x18.6 total bet
• 5m 14s, x27 total bet.

All other cash prizes were pretty small. That is why I finished the test spins with a loss.

Also, I like that a player can buy 10 free spins at x52. I believe that the Grand Finale feature on the last spin has a massive winning potential. Unluckily, free spins did not come up my way.

I also had two Power Spins. The feature removes all low-paying icons (J, Q, K, A), so you have higher chances to land a good combination. Sadly, both Power Spins brought no wins.

I have an excellent impression of the second-screen bonus round. On the face of it, the bonus looks like a standard Hold & Win because you get 3 initial respins, and every new symbol on the board restarts the counter. I’ve found two things that give the bonus an edge: 1. It has a jackpot, awarded when 20 cells are filled with symbols; 2. It has three columns at the beginning, but can expand to four and five if you land an ‘Expand’ icon (see the screenshot above).

Extra Wilds feature in Western Tales slot

I saw a similar feature in African Rampage, where 4 to 7 regular symbols land in random positions. It works the same in the reviewed Spinomenal slot: When the reels are spinning, a random number of wilds (the range is not given in the game rules) can appear, increasing the chances of winning.

Bonus game in Western Tales slot

The feature can award x1,000 total bet (up to $250,000 at max) if 20 positions are filled with any symbols. To make this happen, you must land ‘Expand’ twice because the original field has 12 cells (4 rows x 3 reels). During each bonus spin, you land x1, x2 and x3 multipliers. At the end of the bonus (when the respins counter drops to zero), you get a reward equal to the sum of multipliers applied to your total bet. A good bonus – I had it two times.

Grand Finale free spins

Free spins are triggered by 3 scatters. You get 10 free spins and play as normal, except that you can land Sheriff Badges in any round. Each badge is collected and displayed on the indicator at the top left. When the last, tenth, spin comes, all the badges you have accumulated will be scattered on the field and turn into one random symbol, and this final free spin can lead to big wins. Spinomenal called this feature ‘Grand Finale’.

How much can you win in Western Tales?

Alongside the $250k from a bonus jackpot, you can win $5,000 (five Ladies), $2,500 (five revolvers) and $2,000 (five skulls). These prizes are awarded on one combination of symbols, left to right.

My conclusion

Even though I’ve lost $21 in free credits with this Spinomenal slot, I can easily recommend it to video slot fans who like bonus features. I would say the game is above average in the number of bonuses. I like its free spins with a twist. I believe the FS can be very beneficial, especially when the badges will turn into matching high pics. Its $200,000 bonus jackpot is also a nice trophy (though it will be a hard target).
