Neon West Slot Review

Theme and Storyline

Saddle up and prepare for a futuristic-style adventure in the Wild West-themed slot Neon West.

Yggdrasil Gaming is the brains behind this game, which has a sci-fi edge to it. Old saloons pop up on dust-ridden streets, and there is a masked outlaw on the loose.

The modern feel of the game should resonate with slot enthusiasts chasing a different experience offered by traditional Wild West titles.

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

Neon West has an unusual soundtrack, as it combines a Western touch with more disco vibes.

Gentle guitar chords are accompanied by a disco-type melody, and perhaps this is designed to cater to a nostalgic audience.

The artwork is cutting-edge, as the reels are set against the backdrop of a dusty town where the skyline is choked by smoke.

Meanwhile, saloons are propped up on wooden stacks, and this helps enhance the title's authenticity.

Overall, the animations and soundtrack are impressive, and they give Neon West a unique look.

Gameplay

Neon West covers a 4x3 grid, and there are 20 paylines attached to the game.

Players can secure wins by landing at least 4 matching symbols across a payline.

The Native Chief is the most valuable of the regular-paying symbols, offering a win worth 6.25x your stake.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

Neon West weaves together several intriguing features. Starting with the Growing Wilds, when a Wild lands, it expands into adjacent positions. Additional Wilds then move to replace surrounding symbols. A Wild can spread by up to 3 symbols.

When you land 3 or 4 Scatters, you can choose between 3 different bonus features:

• 6 Free Spins with Sticky Wilds - If a Wild lands, it counts towards a win, and then it remains locked in place for the rest of the free spins. Sticky Wilds won't be removed even if part of a winning combination.
• 5 Free Spins with Multipliers - To begin with, 3 to 8 random positions on the reels are assigned multipliers (1-5x). If a winning line includes one of those positions, the multiplier is collected and removed. There's no retrigger either.
• Trail Bonus Game - As an alternative to free spins, players can move across the path of multipliers and fuel canisters across the town. Played out on a looping track, players can land a prize or a Gold Feature, where moves can be refilled.

This game offers a maximum win amount worth 5,500x your total bet.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

Neon West carries a Return to Player (RTP) figure of 94%, which falls below industry expectations. A low RTP figure is generally not as appealing as high RTP games, as players will receive less money in return on average over time.

This game lets players bet from $/£/€0.20 per spin, while the maximum wager permitted at any one time is $/£/€70.

It's worth noting that this production is highly volatile, which is great for our preferred slot machine strategies. We like games with high volatility, as they offer players the chance to scoop big prizes, though payouts are less frequent.

Conclusion

We suggest you put this highly volatile, low RTP (94%), Wild West/sci-fi-themed slot through its paces.

Neon West provides a fascinating take on the popular Western genre, and apart from a decent maximum win, the volatility will attract interest from keen slot players.

Oh, and with some fabulous bonus features as well as striking graphics, this game is a bit like Dead or Alive, but with a bit more glitz.
