Play Dangerous Billy for Free

The creators of Dangerous Billy, PlayPearls, leave you in no doubt about the theme of the game from the moment the prickly cactus appears in the opening credits.

When the game begins you’ll be left gazing at a background which wouldn’t be out of place in any Western movie, set against a reddening sky.

Set on the reels are more symbols that are connected with spaghetti westerns from the saloon bar, to the sheriff’s star, bad boy gunslingers and wanted dead or alive posters.

The music in the background will be instantly familiar to any Wild West fan, with horses neighing, whistling and drums steadily increasing the tension as the newest challenger rides into town. Surely time for a duel - but will you be the fastest gun in the west?

Before you risk life and limb taking on Dangerous Billy and his cronies, check out the paytable first to see what prizes could be up for grabs.

You’ll need to use the “help” button at the bottom left of the screen to navigate away from the main game and into the paytable.

To grab a prize you’ll need to match at least three identical symbols on any active payline, moving in a left to right direction. Not all of the symbols are worth the same so it’s a good idea to check them out before you play.

One of the bad gunslingers holds the top value prize, with a payout of 2000 if you play on a max stake and match five symbols. If you match just four, the prize instantly shrinks to 500 while matching three nets you just 125.

The other high value top prizes include another of the Wanted gang, the sheriff’s star and the saloon bar, offering 1,000 and 500 for matching five symbols.

Once you’ve finished looking around town, it’s time to head back to the main game and challenge Dangerous Billy and his pals.

You’ll be playing on 5 reels, with a total of 25 paylines. You can choose how many paylines you want to activate by using the small buttons on either side of the reels. This allows you to bet high or low and change the set-up as often as you want.

There’s only one coin played with per line but the value of this can be changed from the minimum of 0.1 to a maximum of 1.00.

As well as the regular symbols on the board, Dangerous Billy is giving you more chances to win thanks to some of the special symbols you might land.

The free spins symbol provides you with a specified number of extra turns, giving you more chances to win without spending any credits. Rolling three, four or five of this symbol anywhere on the board will land you with 15, 30 and 60 free spins.

There’s also the wild symbol which can substitute for nearly all the other symbols on the board. This helps to create more winning combinations, giving you more prizes. The only symbols wild can’t match with are the free spins and the bonus.

The “Wanted: Dead or Alive” poster is the bonus symbol and you’ll need to spin at least three to be able to unlock the hidden game. If you manage to reach the bonus game, you’ll be presented with 15 of the Wanted posters and it’s up to you to pick which ones to uncover. But don’t dally because your time in the bonus game is limited and once the “Collect” sign shows, it’s game over! You’ll get to keep all of the prizes that you reveal when you return to the main game.

Dangerous Billy by PlayPearls is a rapid-fire, quick draw game of online video slots with a Wild West theme. Cowboy fans will love the chance to play along, particularly with the evocative music in the background! There’s some high prizes on offer if you can spin five matching symbols but with such a simple structure, this is a game which will please everyone.
