If you enjoy playing online slots, then you’ll know that there are hundreds of different themes to choose from, whether that’s an African safari, fruit slots, candy games, Aztec treasure hunts or anything else in between. Of course, one of the most popular themes for online casino slots is undoubtedly the Wild West. Remember those old movies with the obligatory tense, “you-could-hear-a-pin-drop” moment as the gunslinging stranger new to town bursts through the double saloon door? Well this theme takes all that excitement and channels it into the gameplay experience so players feel as though they are right there, in the dusty, dim-lit saloons of the Wild West.

In this blog, we’re going to take a look at the best online slots with a Western theme that Wild West fans should try out:

Big Bucks Bandits

Big Buck Bandits is a Wild West adventure brought to you by ReelPlay. With 6 reels, and between 2 and 7 rows for each spin, this game has a whole heap of ways for players to win cash: Thanks to the Megaways mechanic, there are up to 117,649 ways to win.

You can play Big Bucks Bandits for as little as $.20 up to $25 per spin. There’s an Autoplay function that gives you up to 100 autospins, as well as a Quick Play Mode. Offering a 96.1% return to player, it’s a medium- to high-volatility game with great features and bonuses.

The Bank Heist Jackpot Respins feature is undoubtedly the highlight of this game. The feature is triggered when 6 or money bags come into view on the reels. These money bags are locked in place. The round then begins with 3 respins that will be reset every time a new money bag or trophy symbol lands. Each trophy awards a fixed jackpot – bronze, silver, gold or platinum worth 10x, 50x, 250x or 1,000x the stake, respectively. The Bronze or Silver jackpots may be won multiple times, while the Gold and Platinum can only be won just once per feature.

Set in a desert background with a sheriff badge, cattle skull, Stetson, horse, bandit, bottles of hooch, flowers, pistols and a woman appearing on the reels, this is a great Wild West online casino game that players will love.

Desperados Wild

If you’re looking for real casino games that deliver on the Wild West theme front, then Desperados Wild from Megaways should definitely be on your list. The game has a 96.49% RTP, which is quite high for this kind of slot game.

You’ll have 6 reels and between 2 and 7 rows on which to land 2 or more matching symbols to form a winning combination. If you have all 7 rows filled with symbols, you’ll benefit from 117,649 ways to win per spin. You can play this game for as little as $0.20 up to $20, so make sure you’ve set your bet size before you start.

Desperados Wild has a whole host of bonus features:

• Cascades feature: When you hit a winning combination in the base game, the winning symbols will be replaced with new ones. If it triggers another winning combination, this will keep happening until no new wins are formed.
  
• Two Free Spins features: If you get 4 or more bonus scatters in the base game, you’ll be offered the choice of two features: The Sunset Free Spins feature or the Jail House Free Spins feature.
  
  • Sunset Free Spins feature: If you choose the Sunset Free Spins feature and you land 4 scatters, you’ll be awarded 8 free spins. Each extra scatter will give you 2 more free spins, up until 76. With each winning combination, the multiplier increases by 1.
    
  • Jail House Free Spins feature: In this feature, 4 scatters will give you 12 free spins. More scatters reward you with 2 free spins, up until 80. All wilds that land in this feature will drop to the bottom of the reel and lock in place for future free spins. Each locked wild increases the multiplier by 1. If you fill the reel with locked wilds, you’ll get 5 free spins, which means you could get 30 more free spins if you fill all 6 reels.

Wild Wild West

NetEnt is the developer behind this 5-reel, 10-payline online casino slot game. Wild Wild West gives players the opportunity to join a group of train robbers looking to execute a train heist to get their hands on the big bucks. Luckily, players don’t actually have to go through with this in real life, and have a perfectly good opportunity and stand a chance to get their hands on cash through this entertaining slot game.

Of course, this game offers the standard 3-of-a-kind wins that most online slot games do, but there’s so much more to enjoy with a number of bonus features. The Free Spins mode is activated when you land 3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels during base gameplay. Three scatters will award 10 free spins, while 4 will double that with 20. If you somehow manage to get 5 scatter symbols, you’ll be awarded 30 free spins.

Then there’s the Pick & Click feature, which is triggered by landing 3 of the “safe” symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5. This will give you an instant cash prize of up to 50x your original stake, so if you put the max bet of $100 down, you’d walk away with $5,000.
