Wild Moon Saloon Slot Review

Wild Moon Saloon Slot Overview

Wild Moon Saloon is a new casino slot from Stakelogic, reminiscent of another recent Western shoot-out game, Wild Showdown from Light & Wonder. Three armed men and a woman do their best to get their hands on the money, and they can turn into extra valuable scatter symbols in the free spins. You will also find exploding wilds, rising wilds triggering respins, and a Super Stake that raises the chances of triggering the free spins. Risk-willing players can gamble their duel money in an all-or-nothing game. Do you have what it takes to enter the Wild Moon Saloon?

Wild Moon Saloon is a video slot from Stakelogic with 5 reels, 4 rows, and 40 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.20 and the Max.bet is 100. This Western adventure is played with an RTP of 95.80% and high volatility. Landing the max win will put 5000X the bet on your account.

Among armed people, whiskey bottles and random explosive stuff are some invaluable tools. The features are Wild Symbol, Gamble, Bonus Symbol, Mystery Bonus, Wild Modifiers, Super Stake, Bonus Picks, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy. 

Wild Moon Saloon Slot Information

The theme of Wild Moon Saloon is clear. As always, with these kinds of slots, we have ended up in a small Western town in the US during the American frontier. In front of us are a couple of houses with classic swinging saloon doors. A barrel is placed on the ground to the left of the reels and a turned-off gas light is rocking in the wind above it. The game’s cartoon-looking logo is on top of the reels, and there are quite a few more things like a horseshoe, a wanted poster, and a bottle of whiskey next to the reels. The game developer has also managed to make music that sounds like it’s taken straight from a Western movie. To make a win, you’ll need to land at least 3 of the same symbols on any of the 40 paylines, going left to right, starting with the first reel to the left. Wild Moon Saloon is available on all devices such as desktop computers, notepads, and mobile phones.

The lower-paying symbols in the wild west are J, Q, K, and A. They will give you between 2X and 3X the bet for a win containing 5 symbols. There are 2 medium-paying symbols, in the shape of a whiskey bottle and a pocket flask, paying 3.5X and 4X the bet for a full winline. The higher-paying symbols are one woman and three men, all wearing hats. The woman has a rifle on her back, and two of the men are flashing a gun in their hands. Landing a 5-symbol win with any of those characters will award between 6X and 12.5X the bet. The Wild Symbol, depicted by a man on a horse, substitutes all mentioned symbols but not the Scatter or Bonus symbols. The Wild Symbol also pays on its own, up to 15X the bet for a 5-symbol win. The Bonus Symbol can trigger the free spins, and the Scatter Symbol can be activated in the free spins, turning one or several high-paying characters into even more valuable symbols. 

Wild Moon Saloon Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Wild Moon Saloon?

You can win up to 5000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Wild Moon Saloon?

The features are Wild Symbol, Gamble, Bonus Symbol, Mystery Bonus, Wild Modifiers, Super Stake, Bonus Picks, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is a man on a horse with a full moon in the distance. It substitutes all paying symbols, but not the Bonus or the Scatter. The wild also pays on its own, awarding 15X the bet for a win containing 5 symbols.

Gamble

You can choose to gamble all wins, even from the free spins, in an all-or-nothing game. You’re presented with a play card and have to foretell the next card. You can guess what suit it’s going to be, or if it’s going to be black or red. If you nail the suit, your win will be quadrupled. If you’re right about the color, your win will be doubled. If your guess is wrong, you’ll lose the win. If you don’t want to gamble a win, you just click the collect button.

Bonus Symbol

The Bonus Symbol, which many times is called the Scatter, takes the player to the free spins. You need at least 3 symbols anywhere on the grid to activate 8 free spins. Before the free spins start, you get to pick 3, 4, or 5 cards in the Bonus Pick, depending on if you landed 3, 4, or 5 Bonus Symbols.

Mystery Bonus

The Mystery Bonus can trigger randomly on any spin in the base game. It randomly activates one of the Wild Modifiers.

Wild Modifiers

The Wild Modifiers are 4 different features adding wilds to the reels in one way or another. They can be triggered by the Mystery Bonus in the base game, and in the Bonus Pick in the free spins.

Random Wilds = Up to 7 wilds are added to the reels.

Exploding Wilds = Up to 3 wilds are added to the reels before they explode up to 4 positions around the symbol. 

Wild Reels = Up to 3 reels are transformed into wild reels, containing only wild symbols.

Rising Wilds = Any wild that lands will trigger a re-spin feature. The wild moves one step up on its reel for every re-spin. The feature goes on until no more wilds are in view.

Super Stake

Stakelogic has, as usual, thrown in the golden Super Stake button in Wild Moon Saloon. Hitting the button doubles your bet and increases the chances of activating the free spins by adding more Bonus Symbols to the reels. The paytable doesn’t change, and neither does the RTP.

Bonus Picks

The Bonus Pick starts when you trigger the free spins. You’re presented with 12 play cards face down, and you get to pick 3, 4, or 5 cards depending on if you activated the spins with 3, 4, or 5 Bonus Symbols. The cards come in four categories displaying extra free spins, a multiplier that is used for all wins in the feature, one of the Wild Modifiers, or a Scatter Pay Symbol. The Scatter Pay turns one of the 4 high-paying symbols into an extra valuable symbol. Whenever a Scatter Pay lands, it pays out a cash prize after any regular win. Landing 1 Scatter will give you 1X the bet, and filling the grid with 15 or more will award 100X the bet.

Free Spins

You’ll start the free spins as soon as you’re finished with the bonus pick. You’ll start with a minimum of 8 spins and more if you picked some extra spins in the previous feature. Depending on the outcome of the bonus pick, you might also have a multiplier that multiplies all wins, a wild modifier that puts wilds on the reels on every spin, and one or several scatter pay symbols in the shape of any of the gunslingers. 

Bonus Buy

If you can’t wait to land the Bonus symbols that take you to the free spins, you can pay 80X the bet for a spin that will give you 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols.    

Wild Moon Saloon Slot Conclusion

Wild West slots will probably always keep on appearing in the iGaming world. Wild Moon Saloon feels like a complete game with many different features, although most of them are connected to the free spins. There’s nothing missing, but the total gaming experience can’t be compared to successful games such as Dead or Alive and its follower, Dead or Alive II. The symbols in Wild Moon Saloon are uniform, following the theme, and the abundance of meters and buttons tells the player that a lot of things are going on in this saloon.

The free spins are pretty cool constructed, awarding 8 spins no matter the number of triggering bonus symbols. The more symbols, the bigger the chance to score some extra spins in the Bonus Pick. The multiplier is another nice feature in the free spins since it’s active during all spins. Turning one of the armed high-paying symbols into scatters can also give some extra money to the bank, although you need to land quite a few to score some big bucks. One thing we’re not pleased with is the RTP of 95.80%, putting Wild Moon Saloon a fair bit below the average slot RTP. The max win of 5000X the bet isn’t great either for a highly volatile slot.

Wild Moon Saloon from Stakelogic has sharp-shooting cowboys, exploding wilds, and free spins with a feature pick where the player can score valuable features that will be used during all spins.
