John Wayne

In a nutshell

You couldn’t wish for a better companion on a trek through the Wild West than the legend himself! While playing the John Wayne video slot,you will have to sort out troubled towns and bag some serious bounty. And, yes, you will get to use your rifle, too!

A closer look

Playtech have pulled out all the stops to do the legend that was John Wayne justice. The 5 reels and 25 pay lines the John Wayne slot is played on might give the impression of a pretty standard slot a first, but they are the only ordinary things about this game.

With line bets from a tiny $0.02 to a quite serious stake of $50 (which makes for a possible total bet of $1,250) the number of betting options even surpasses the famously large number of films John Wayne appeared in during his 50+ year career (it’s 168, in case you were wondering).

High card symbols and essential cowboy gear are joined by portrait stills from some of John Wayne’s most famous movies to make up a versatile and graphically impressive collection of spinning tiles. There’s a Duke feature in honour of his early nickname as well as an elaborate bonus round in which you can stack the odds in your favour for the following free games. The ranch sign inspired bonus symbol will reward you anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5 and the wild substitutes for anything but the Duke badge and the bonus symbol.

Free Spin Feature

Three bonus symbols will definitely get you free spins, but how many exactly and what kind of extra features they come with is decided in the bonus round you have to play to get to the free spin mode of the John Wayne slot.

The free spin symbols feature the Duke badge from the main game and the corresponding feature can be triggered during free games, too.  Free spins have extra wilds which substitute for anything but the Duke badge and the extra scatter. On extra scatter wins your stake is multiplied by the symbol value using the original pay table.

Hit the More Free Games symbol anywhere on reel 3 during free games and get another 4 free spins. These can be retriggered indefinitely and will always be subject to the free games multiplier originally awarded (see bonus feature).

Bonus Feature

Hitting three bonus symbols only wins you 3 free games and a basic multiplier of 1x, but before the free spins start, you get the chance to massively improve your position in the bonus round.

In this graphically pleasing feature, tin cans have been put up in a Wild West carnival style shooting range and it’s your job to aim, hit and secure the corresponding boosts. Multiplier increases and more free spins are on offer as well as a Mystery Extra Wild, Mystery Extra Scatter and a More Free Games symbol which will be added to your free spin reels if hit. You can also win more bullets for more goes at the cans.

Special feature

Whenever you hit 3 or more badge symbols in the main game of the John Wayne slot, you can click on one of them after your spin and secure the multiplier hiding under it. The Duke’s Badge multiplier will be applied to your original bet. The more badges you have on your reels the higher the multipliers available.
