Neon West

You’re playing on a 4×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines, typical of many slots, but presented with a cyber Wild‑West twist. The visual design is sharp: glowing symbols, futuristic effects, and a soundtrack that mixes western twangs with electronic pulses. High paying symbols include sheriff badges, character‑icons, perhaps some gadgets, with lower‑value icons being glowing card suits. RTP is about 96% in preferred configurations, though there are alternate rates in different markets. Volatility is high, meaning wins are irregular; when they hit, they can be rewarding. Bets go from low to fairly high, and the maximum win is around 5,500x the bet. The bonus modes are where Neon West tries to make its mark: trail bonus, free spins with sticky wilds, free spins with multipliers.

• Trail Bonus Game: A key draw of Neon West. Once triggered, you’re placed on a game board (trail) where each space holds either a cash prize or a train icon. You start with limited turns, but can replenish turns by landing on certain “spark” spaces or completing laps. Completing laps also increases all cash values by +3. Some train spaces activate modifiers like “collect icons”, prize boosts, or instant rewards. There’s a golden train that triggers persistent versions of modifiers (e.g. effects apply after every turn) or activates “collect‑all” style bonuses. It feels like Dead Man’s Trail in its structure: stepping through nodes, earning modifiers, chase mechanics, building up over trail turns.
• Free Spins Modes: There are two main free spins options: one focuses on sticky wilds (wilds that stay for the rest of the round), which helps build coverage; the other emphasizes multiplier positions where random multipliers can be unlocked over specific symbol positions. Each has its own flavor and risk‑reward trade‑off.
• Growing Wild Symbol: Wild symbols can expand over 1‑3 adjacent positions when they land, which can significantly help in building wins, especially in bonus rounds. They do not cover scatters or other wilds, but when they fit, they shift the potential noticeably.
• Bonus Buy / Trail‑Buy Option: In markets where allowed, you can pay (30x the base bet) to enter the Trail Bonus directly instead of waiting for scatters/normal bonus triggers. That cheap bonus buy gives faster access to the more lucrative part of the game, though you’re risking more up front.
