Play Cowboy Treasure for Free

The western is one of the most universally loved genres in the world of literature and film, and it is becoming an increasingly popular theme in the world of online slot machines. In many ways, the genre perfectly encapsulates some of the best and worst aspects of early American society, culture and life, with prosperity and wealth just over the vast horizon while crime and vice is lurking behind every rock along the road to that fabled destination.

As such, this Play'n Go slot machine presents some of the wild west's pleasures, such as beautiful horses, wealth-bringing steam trains, chests bursting with golden treasure and copious amount of bourbon whiskey. Meanwhile, other symbols on the reels depict some of the more dangerous aspects of the American Frontier, with smoking pistols, nasty-looking bandits, chests bursting with golden treasure and copious amounts bourbon whiskey.

At first glance, this slot machine might not appear to be much to look at, with illustrations that are rendered in two dimensional illustrations. However, the game is still a relatively contemporary release and the icons are prone to burst into life whenever they form a winning combination thanks to some nifty animation. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if the game's designers intentionally gave the game a slightly outdated look to help give it an atmosphere of mythology in honour of the many legends and folk tales that are associated with the Wild West era.

If spinners of this slot machine want to go down in history as a true Old West legend, then they will have to get their hands on the much coveted Dream Chance Jackpot, one of three progressive jackpots in the game alongside the Luxury Jackpot and the Tasty Jackpot. In order to be in with a chance to play for these jackpots, players have to set the reels in motion and hope that they can find three or more scattered rings around the normal game icons.

If three golden rings appear, then the Tasty Jackpot wheel will be triggered, allowing players to spin for a selection of set multiplier prizes as well as the small progressive jackpot. However, players can also progress from this wheel on to the Luxury Jackpot and the Dream Chance Jackpot, where there are significantly bigger wins to be found. Alternatively, punters can skip straight to the Luxury Jackpot and Dream Chance Jackpot by finding four and five golden wheels scattered on the reels.

While players are waiting for their chance to hit the progressive jackpot heights, they can enjoy a series of line bet multiplier prizes by aligning three or more symbols along any of the 5 paylines that are permanently fixed in place. This will multiply the line bets (which range from 0.01 to 2.00 credits) by the following amounts:

Those wins might not seem too inviting, especially considering that Cowboy Treasure only has 5 paylines for spinning cowboys to round up the wins. However, punters can boost their wins in the base game by opting to double up or triple up in a simple pick 'em side game. Both of these side games offer total wins that are as much as 50,000 credits.

Spin bandits can also unlock a fun and interactive bonus game, triggered by finding three or more pistol symbols. This will award up to 14 free spins in which a horseshoe and coin symbol will be introduced to the reels as stacked symbols. Players must choose which of these stacked icon they think will appear most times on the reels and if they guess correctly then they will win an extra round of free games. In fact, players can keep on enjoying free spins up to a maximum amount of 350.

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a Billy the Kid or Kitty Canutt, then Cowboy Treasure is the right slot for you. The game by Play'n Go might appear to be a bit on the outdated side of the market, especially when compared to real money slot machines by other contemporary software suppliers. However, the game doesn't hold back when it comes to the gameplay, offering three progressive jackpots as well as free spins and two chance to boost your wins with a gamble.
