Powered by Playtech software, John Wayne is a five reel, 25 payline online slot, based around the numerous Westerns the legendary actor starred in.
Theme
John Wayne really needs no introduction, as you’d expect this slot features a Western theme. There is plenty of cowboy imagery to be getting along with, including the spurred boot, cowboy hat, neckerchief and sheriff’s badge symbols. The soundtrack adds to the atmosphere and would not sound out of place in a Western movie.
The Duke’s Badge Feature
This is a mini-game that is triggered whenever you land three or more of The Duke sheriff-style badges on the reels. You get to pick one of the badges, which will reveal a cash prize. The amount you are awarded will depend on your stake, as well as the number of badges that appeared on the reels.
John Wayne’s Ranch Bonus
John Wayne’s Ranch Bonus is the main attraction in this slot. The game is activated when you get the bonus symbol on reels one, three and five simultaneously. You will be given three free spins with a 1x multiplier. You’ll be taken to a new screen and given a number of bullets to shoot at tin cans. These cans will reveal prizes including, extra free spins, multipliers, a free games retrigger, more cans to shoot, random extra wilds and random extra scatter symbols. Once these bonuses have been added, you’ll get to take your free spins. There is also a More Free Spins symbol, which will trigger more free spins in this round if you land it on the middle reel.
Verdict
There really isn’t anything not to like about a Western themed slot, especially one with such an iconic protagonist such as John Wayne. The graphics and the soundtrack look and sound authentic, it doesn’t take too long to get to grips with the game. The bonus round is pretty exciting and, as you can play from 25p to £125 per spin, this slot is friendly towards all pockets.
