Deadly West Slot Review
Yggdrasil Gaming affiliate, Hungry Bear, welcomes you to the dried-up town of Deadly West, where the undead roam the frontier!
We’re in for quite a ride as we pass through the once-bustling town of Deadly West, where the local residents have mysteriously developed a craving for flesh. This zombie-infested video slot from up-and-coming developer, Hungry Bear, is packed with nail-biting features and mechanics, using Sticky Wild Multipliers and an epic Free Spins round as the main source of entertainment. This highly volatile instalment is also locked and loaded with an impressive max win cap of 50,000x your bet!
Fighting zombies has become the ‘norm’ in Video Slots thanks to our exposure to games like Lucky Apocalypse, Zombie aPOPalypse, and Granny vs Zombies, so we’re pretty confident we can survive our visit to Deadly West. Will we become the latest zombie townie or will we walk away unscathed and carrying a great fortune? Let’s play on and find out!
Base Game & Features
Deadly West is a highly volatile 5-reel, 3-row Video Slot with 243 ways to win and an accumulation of bet sizes between £.€0.20 and £.€5 per spin. Other attributes include an overall RTP of 94% and a sizable max win cap of 50,000x your bet.
Winning combinations are generated when 3-5 identical symbols land from left to right, starting from reel 1. There is a total of 9 High and Low-paying symbols, with each winning group producing fixed payouts between 0.1x and 10x your bet. Besides the inclusion of Wild symbols, the base game of Deadly West leaves little to the imagination, saving the best elements of gameplay for the Free Spins mode.
Free Spins
Landing 3 or more Bonus Scatters anywhere in the base game triggers the Free Spins mode, where players will enter a special Wheel phase to determine the number of qualifying spins.
During this time, a special Wheel with individual free-spin segments appears in view. Depending on the number of triggering Bonus Scatters, certain Free Spin segments are removed as follows:
- 3 Scatters: Awards 8, 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins
- 4 Scatters: Awards 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins
- 5 Scatters: Awards 15 or 20 Free Spins
During Free Spins, all Wild symbols that appear in view will persist until the end of the feature. If 2 or 3 Wild symbols land on a single reel, they will transform into a Multiplier Wild of x2 and x3 respectively. Wins achieved with Sticky Wild symbols will be automatically multiplied by their combined values and paid out accordingly, up to a maximum Multiplier of x81.
Our Verdict
Hungry Bear has combined two popular themes in order to create a distinguishable video slot with pleasing visuals and sound effects. The base game has the occasional dry spell given the lack of features, but it does seem that the Free Spins mode triggers frequently. If you can look past this, you’ll find the Free Spins round to be desirable and exciting thanks to the Sticky Wilds function.
The use of Sticky Wilds, with the inclusion of Multipliers, is something we’re accustomed to, particularly in many Hacksaw Gaming titles. What’s great about Deadly West though, is that it comes with a hefty max win cap of 50,000x your bet. Given the functionality of Sticky Wilds, this figure does seem achievable, but it comes at a cost of a much lower RTP of 94% and an extremely high volatility rating.
