Play Western Ride for Free

The design of Western Ride perfectly fits the theme of the Wild West. The background of the main game shows players a view of the desert prairie at dusk. The background stays generally the same in the bonus round, but there’s a full moon added to the backdrop to make for a bit of change.

The all-round theme of the game is made more immersive from an audio perspective, so if you turn the volume up you can listen to the crickets, owls, harmonica and horses in the background, along with the fitting country music.

The great design of Western Ride also spreads to the user interface. Some online slot machines try to hide all useful information related to game play, like the pay table, but Western Ride doesn’t do this. Everything you could possibly want to know is spread out on the main screen, so you’re never left in the dark while spinning the reels.

When you’re ready to make a wager in Western Ride you’ll find there are three bets to be made in 0.20, 0.40, and 0.60. How much you can win depends on your bet (as per usual) and the pay table adjusts to show the prizes related to your current bet. You win prizes for matching up three symbols, of which all fit the theme of Western Ride quite nicely. If you line up two symbols then the game does you a favor by holding those two symbols and spinning the third reel again. There is also a nudge feature that lets you move the reels between one and four spaces manually.

As you play the game you’ll notice that some of the symbols have an asterisk within them. These symbols contribute to your bonus point pool, even if you don’t win a prize. You can use these bonus points as the wager in the additional game, which features eight reels.

The bonus game also features its own bets, symbols, and pay table, so make sure you check out the new pay table before you start playing. You can play the bonus game until you run out of bonus points and then take your winnings back into the main game.

There are five bonus features in the Western Ride slot machine, which means that it is very similar to other Gaming1 titles in that regard. The first takes place in a gold mine, as players are placed in command of a loaded trolley. Each player has the chance to select three pieces of gold from the trolley in the hope of winning a prize.

The second involves a shootout at high noon, with your prize determined by your shot. In the third round you need to blow open a safe and claim the money inside. In the fourth game you’re in a saloon and you’re playing along with a follow the ball trick. There are three thimbles in play, each of which contains a prize.

Finally, the fifth round has you playing as a bandit on the run, with there being a moving target in play you need to hit and, if you do, you get the prize.

Western Ride has a great theme, as it perfectly blends together classic slots and modern slots in a single package. The game deserves some praise for having these two game modes too, as this helps make it more special and as such is a game model that is still hard to come by. The three betting options give you the chance to play using only a small amount of money as well.

Western Ride is a game that has a lot to offer veteran and newbie slot machine players alike, so you should definitely look to give it a go!
