- An exciting western-themed slot from Pragmatic Play
- Wild multipliers can multiply each other for big wins

The Wild Gang slot is a new, western-themed game from Pragmatic Play with wild scatters and two main bonuses that will be discussed later on. The design of this game is fairly generic it has to be said, but the reel layout is a bit more interesting at least. There are 6 reels and 4 rows to give you 2304 ways to win. To look out for a winning combination from left to right using the following base symbols, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Jack or Queen
- King or Ace
- Boots
- Whiskey
- Knife
- Gun
- Badge

The Wild Gang Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Scatters. There are 4 wild scatters in this game, each shown as a different cowboy. They appear on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5, respectively. When they appear on reels 2 or 3 during the base game, they function as wild symbols, substituting for all others in a winning combination. They also get multipliers on them up to 4x, applying to all wins they are part of and they multiply each other if more than 1 of them is part of a win.
Mystery Symbols. This can appear on all reels, and whenever it lands, all instances of it on the screen will turn into the same, randomly chosen symbol, apart from wild scatters.
Free Spins Bonus. If you land 3 or 4 of the wild scatters during the base game, they instead act as scatter symbols and trigger the free spins bonus. Just 3 will give you the wanted free spins, but 4 will give you the dead or alive free spins:
- Wanted Free Spins. Here you have 8 free spins and all wild scatters function as wild symbols only. The first time they appear they have 2x multipliers on them, then 3x after then, and then 4x. After that, they have no multipliers on them.
- Dead or Alive Free Spins. Here you also have 8 free spins, but you also play on a larger 6×4 grid with 4,096 ways to win. The first time multipliers land they have 2x multipliers on them, then 4x, and then none again after that.
For both bonuses, wild multipliers are collected, with the multiplier starting at 1x. The meter get multiplied by and multiplier that lands, applying to the total win of all spins. Lastly, whenever all 4 wilds appear at least once during the bonus, 2 more free spins are given. When all 4 wilds appear twice,2 more are given again, but none after that.
Bonus Buy. In some regions, you can buy the wanted free spins bonus for 80x your stake, or the dead or alive bonus for 200x your stake.
Conclusion
The Wild Gang slot from Pragmatic Play is an engaging game with wild symbols that sometimes serve as scatters to trigger the free spins bonus. There are 2 of these, both with their similarities but the dead or alive bonus is clearly better with a larger pay area. I like how multiplier wilds are also collected, it’s an interesting concept that can work well and overall I think this is quite an impressive slot.
