Reel Outlaws Slots is Wild West themed slot that has a nice sense of style and manages to feel inventive despite a clearly limited budget. The attention to detail here is great, and we can’t find much to fault about it, other some issues with the logo font. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with it, mostly wishing that we had more hours in the day to play it, and more money to put into it.
If you like this sort of theme, there aren’t many slots out there that cater to you. For that reason, this is the slot for you. For everyone else, it’s still a good time waiting to happen, assuming you’re willing to give it a spin. We recommend you skip this review and give it a try!
Premise
The premise of Reel Outlaws Slots is the Wild West, out in the desert like cowboys and the rest of it. It’s been done to death in other mediums, but there surprisingly aren’t that many Wild West slots on the market, making this a smart bet by the developers. It comes together in an inventive way too, not being lazy and simply making everything look like a gun.
Presentation
Graphics in Reel Outlaws Slots are really great, sans the logo. Everything is crisp, clear, colorful, and compelling to look at, which makes your time spent playing all the easier because of how easy they are on the eyes. They use well elements from the slot genre like the number 7 with horse shoes and other things to make a nice meeting of genres here. We really enjoyed the use of cacti and cowboy hats, which made it feel fun and didn’t look generic like we’re used to. The gold in particular looks nice, but we’re also big fans of money.
The UI is also great, and looks like a lot of care went into it. Seriously though, that logo doesn’t do the rest of the game justice. Font change please!
Mechanics
Gameplay in Reel Outlaws Slots is standard and old like the source material. At 5 reels and 9 pay lines, it does not break the mold there, chosing instead to keep things classy in ways we can respect.
Betting here ranges from two pennies to $1, making this an accessible slot that anyone can jump into in hopes of winning a lot of money without worrying about necessarily breaking the bank in the process. Max bets cap out at $45, which tends to be how we rolled when we played it a bunch for our review.
The bonus round is called Reel Outlaws Bonus Round, which wins the award for the most obvious name ever. Still, our winnings went up, so we can’t complain.
