Wild West themed slot machines have a lot of fans, and The Bandit and the Baron does more than enough to be just as appreciated by its players. This is a joint release, coming via Microgaming, but developed for them by an independent studio, called Just For The Win. They’ve joined forces before, and have several excellent releases together. As for what we’re seeing here, it’s another highly volatile game, one that could turn small bets into life-changing rewards.
The Bandit and the Baron slot delivers 25 lines, but it uses 5x5 reels for this. Under the right circumstances, you can claim a 10,000x the stake jackpot. The 96.09% RTP is the highest possible setting, but there are lower ones as well. With high volatility, this slot will give us features ranging from expanding wilds and Bandit Respins to a Bandit bonus.
Once you’ve selected the wager, the game can start. You need as little as $0.20 to do that, but you can spend up to $10 on each round.
You can also pay 100x the stake, to trigger the bonus game immediately.
The rewards can go very high, even up to $250,000 in a single spin. You’d need to use the maximum bet for that, but it could be returned to you at a 25,000x multiple.
One downside, for any slot machine with big rewards, is that high volatility is expected. In the long run, you want to play at a casino where the game is using the 96.09% RTP, but some may go to lower settings, such as 94.15% or 92.11%.
The Baron wilds are part of the game’s main features. It is an expanding wild, so it might land in regular form, but then it expands and takes over the entire reel, provided that it can bring you a win that way. They’re helpful because they are used as substitutes, and they can be part of other winning combinations.
The Bandit symbols are the other ones that can bring you something extra. They appear on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th reels. You need them to land on all three, to get the main bonus feature.
If only two Bandit symbols land, then you get the Bandit Respin, where you get a second chance at landing the third one required for the bonus game. This part locks in place the triggering scatters and respins only the third reel.
If you can get all three Bandit symbols in view, then you get a new game area, where you start with 13 active positions and another 12 that are closed. You get 3 spins to start with, where you try to get new symbols to land in the active positions. Each time this happens, the remaining spins reset back to 3.
During these spins, you can get several types of symbols, ranging from the ones that pay up to 25x the stake, to those that activate additional symbol positions, or to the ones that can boost wins for symbols from certain rows/columns by as much as 10x.
The Bandit Bonus ends when you fill all active positions, or when you’ve gone through all your spins. At the end of the bonus game, you get paid by each cash symbol that is visible at the time.
The slot’s theme is taking us to the same dusty frontier towns as the rest that are Wild West-based. I enjoyed the graphics, even though a lot of the images shown on the reels are more about cash than gunslingers. The symbols range from the Baron (wild) and the Bandit (scatter) to those showing the safe, bars of gold, cash, gold coins, and silver coins. It all ends with the four card suits.
The Bandit and the Baron is a good game, and a slot machine that I’d recommend to players that enjoy the theme, and they’re OK with the extra volatility that’s going to influence its gameplay. It can pay a lot better than many other Microgaming titles, so it has an advantage there.
