Swing Your Lasso in NetEnt’s Latest Western Slot Adventure — Buckshot Wilds

Feb 20, 2024 Anna Kiselova
NetEnt has once again become the talk of the town after adding another Wild West-inspired video slot to its game assortment — Buckshot Wilds. Its 2017 predecessor, Wild Wild West, was a tremendous success with audiences, but from what we can see, Buckshot Wilds is already on the way to overtaking it.
With its oil painting-like graphics and bird’s eye view of arid landscapes, Buckshot Wilds evokes the spirit of a rugged frontier town where desperados and outlaws used to unwind after robbing stagecoaches.

Once initiated, the slot comes with a gaming area consisting of 5 reels, 4 or 8 rows, and 20–48 paylines. Card royals, pistols, and key town figures start filling the reels, waiting for you to match the symbols and create a winning combination. Additionally, if a wild lands on top of a trigger symbol, it expands and converts adjacent symbols into wilds.


In order to enable even more winning combos, wilds stay on the grid, moving down one row with each spin. When it comes to the other symbols, the scatter is vital for entering the free spins round.

Unlike the main game, set in a frontier settlement burrowed between massive rock formations, the bonus round takes you to a night-time scene in a tidy and well-ordered town. To enter this mode, you must land 3, 4, or 5 scatters, which award between 6 and 15 free spins.

During the bonus mode, the grid expands to a 5×8 formation. At the beginning, 1–3 wilds are present on the reels, and each spin grants an additional one. And if you are lucky to hit an extra scatter, the game guarantees one more free spin.

However, many of you probably can’t wait for the expanding reels to kick in, a feature that may activate randomly on any spin in the base game. It will also expand the grid to a 5×8 formation, though only for the duration of the lucky spin.

Buckshot Wilds is NetEnt’s third video slot released in 2024, after Pirate Party and Jelly Belly Megaways. Last year, the brand was also very successful when it released several captivating slots with unique features and enthralling gameplay. Wild Turkey Megaways, Finn and the Candy Spin, Twin Spin XXXtreme, and Buster’s Bones are among the ones that stood out.
