Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist review
Four outlaws, a train and a comic-book look: NetEnt's 2017 Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist is a 5x3 slot with 10 lines and two bonus routes. One is a quick pick-a-prize game worth between 5x and 50x the bet. The other is a free spins round in which a wheel picks the type of wild you will play with. The numbers are gentle: Medium volatility, a 96.74% RTP and a top prize of 500x the bet.
Pick and Click
Three Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 in the main game activate this feature. You choose one of the three symbols to reveal a coin win. Only one prize is awarded per game, and once your choice is revealed the studio shows the coin values hidden behind the two symbols you did not pick. Coin wins run from 5x to 50x the bet.
It is a small bonus by design. Even the largest coin prize is 50x the bet, well below the 500x the catalogue lists as the maximum win, so the rest of that range has to come from line wins and the wilds.
Free spins and the Wild Selector Wheel
Three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels activate free spins, in the main game or during the round itself. The paytable sets the number of spins. Before the round starts, a Wild Selector Wheel appears, and when you stop it, one Wild feature is selected at random and activated.
During the free spins, an Overlay Wild symbol randomly appears on reels 1 to 3 on every spin, acting as the active Wild feature. Scatters are counted before any Overlay Wild or Wild feature is applied. Each session uses a single Wild feature.
Regular Wild
The plain version. It stands in for other symbols to complete a line.
Expanding Wild
The wild expands, which gives it more positions from which to complete a line. The studio text does not specify how far.
x2 Multiplier Wild
A wild that carries a x2 multiplier.
Spreading Wild
A wild that spreads onto other positions. As with the expanding version, the studio does not give the exact pattern.
The numbers
The game has one RTP on record, 96.74%, a house edge of 3.26%. That is about $32.60 lost per $1,000 wagered over a long run. A 100-spin session costs about $0.65 at a $0.20 bet, $3.26 at $1 and $16.30 at $5. Bets range from €0.10 to €100.00.
The hit frequency is 22%. The maximum win is 500x the bet, equal to $100 at $0.20, $500 at $1 and $2,500 at $5. A low ceiling and a Medium rating make for a game whose results stay in a narrow band.
Who it suits
A 500x ceiling with a 3.26% house edge suits a player who wants a longer session on a small budget more than a hunt for a rare large result. The two bonus routes keep each spin simple: three bonus symbols for a quick prize, scatters for a wild-driven round. The free demo is the best way to judge whether the pace suits you.
Other games with 500x ceilings
Four games in the catalogue share the 500x maximum: The Wolf's Bane at 96.74%, Fruit Spin and Spiñata Grande at 96.84%, and Golden Grimoire at 96.44%. EggOMatic from 2013 lists 96.5% and 600x, and Jingle Spin lists 96.48% and 600x. All are rated Medium.

Verdict
