Deadly West Slot 

A zombie plague and the Wild West combine in this uniquely themed Deadly West slot from the team over at Hungry Bear. Considering the aesthetic alone, this release differs significantly from other UK online slots inspired by the old American West; however, it also features its fair share of unique bonuses. Featuring bonus wheels, progressive multipliers and sticky wilds, the gameplay in the Deadly West slot is varied, just like the imagery which could appear across the playscreen. 

A frame constructed out of bones and skulls surrounds the playgrid in the Deadly West slot, with this being your standard 5x3 setup. The grey-tinted reels do have 243 paylines spanning across them, though, a count that has been boosted compared to some classic slot games with the same layout. All the game buttons are positioned to the right of the screen, with the ordered white icons creating a clean user interface. 

Looking behind the bone-framed reels, the backdrop of the Deadly West slot displays an old frontier town that has numerous wooden buildings lined across an empty street. Where this differs from other titles like 2 Wild 2 Die and Wanted Dead or a Wild is the dilapidated state it is in, with it seemingly having been overrun by zombies. Pools of blood stain the dusty ground, with all windows and doors either broken or boarded up.

Although the lower-valued symbols in the Deadly West slot have been borrowed from live casino games, the card royals have been designed in a way to fit the aesthetic at hand. Each of these is made from bone, backed by a different coloured goo. In terms of the higher-valued symbols, each of these is a different animal or Western figure that has been converted into an undead zombie to suit the thematic elements of the game.

Lower Value Symbols:

10

Jack (J)

Queen (Q)

King (K)

Ace (A)

Medium Value Symbols:

Zombie Vulture

Zombie Horse

Higher Value Symbols:

Zombie Cowboy

Zombie Sheriff

Moving onto bonus symbols, there are 2 different types that Hungry Bear have added to the Deadly West slot. These include the zombie head Wild and the bloody sheriff badge Scatter, both of which match the western, zombie-infused aesthetic on display.

The zombie head wild acts like the same bonus symbols found in other classic slot games, potentially stepping in for other base game symbols if it is landed. This is due to the symbol possessing subsisting qualities, allowing it to assume the value of any other symbol across a payline to make or increase a combination. 

When it comes to the bloodied sheriff badge scatters, if 3 or more of these are landed at the same time, this could trigger the free spins round in the Deadly West slot. During this, the wilds have been modified slightly. If two wilds land on the same reel, they could be given a 2x multiplier before becoming locked in place. Similarly, if 3 wilds land on a single reel, these too could become sticky, with these instead receiving 3x multipliers. These sticky wilds remain in the positions they landed for the duration of this Deadly West bonus round.

Before the Deadly West bonus round actually begins, though, players will spin a wooden bonus wheel to determine the number of spins that they may receive. Depending on the number of triggering sheriff badge scatters, the numbers displayed on the wheel could differ, with these being as follows:

3 Sheriff Badge Scatters could present a wheel that has free spin amounts of 8, 10, 15, and 20.

4 Sheriff Badge Scatters could present a wheel that has free spin amounts of 10, 15, and 20.

5 Sheriff Badge Scatters could present a wheel that has free spin amounts of 15 and 20.

Hungry Bear has integrated an adaptive framework into the backbone of the Deadly West slot, enabling it to be accessed on smartphones, tablets, and PCs without any loss of quality. This is the case for most releases on our UK online casino, where adaptive HTML5 technology automatically resizes the game for different screen sizes, provided players are connected to the internet.

Overall, the Deadly West slot is a unique twist on the popular Wild West genre of releases. The nuanced wild modifiers in the free spins round, and the manner in which the aesthetic has received an apocalyptic redesign, make this impressive game stand out in a handful of ways.

If you are a fan of zombies, titles like Granny vs Zombies and Zombie Carnival also feature these creatures, just like this Deadly West slot.
