El Cowboy Megaways Slot Bonuses and Features
Action Feature. There’s a bonus reel above the usual reels that contains action symbols, and one below the reels that has wild symbols. If they align, you can get one of the following:
- Expanding wilds. This will turn an entire reel wild.
- Dropping Wilds. This will add 5 wild symbols to the screen, with respins on each drop until they fall off.
- Multiplier Wilds. This adds multiplier wilds with up to 5x multiplier, that multiply together if part of the same win.
Free Spins Bonus. If you get 4 or more scatter symbols in this game, you trigger this bonus. You get 15, 20 or 25 free spins for 4, 5 or 6 scatters, respectively. During these, an extra reel has the dynamite action symbol, while the other extra reel has a wild that can be regular or a multiplier wild. If they align, you get the following:
- With a wild symbol, you get up to 15 wild symbols anywhere apart from the first reel.
- With a multiplier wild, you get multiplier wild symbols with multipliers up to 5x on all but the first reel. Win multiplier reels can also multiply wins by up to 100x on each spin.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., you can buy the main bonus with 4 different options, starting from 15-25 free spins and the standard number of ways to win, or up to 117,649 ways to win.
Conclusion
El Cowboy Megaways slot from iSoftBet is a sequel to El Patron, only now you have Megaways and some slightly different mechanics. The multiplier reel helps change things up nicely and surprisingly the volatility is lower here, but that explains the lower win potential. Whether you prefer this game or not depends on the types of slots you like to play, both are good options but this one is more forgiving.
