This dogs’ heaven in Western-style is made of 5 reels, 4 reels and 25 pay-lines. The game includes a Cash Grab bonus game with rewards up to 50 times your bet. There are 10 free spins that you play with 1, 2 or 3 royal cards. The cards will be converted into wild symbols with different payouts.
Landing a full screen of wild symbols results in 500 times your stake win. This pays £2,500 when you use the largest wager. The latter is the max payout the game can offer from the wild symbol. It is the one with the highest value in the game in terms of payout. A Western Tail is a low volatility slot with an RTP of 96.50%.
The game is in Wild West style with all kinds of dogs in different roles. The grid is inside a town in the American West with large buildings on both sides during the day. The prevailing colour is brown on and around the reels, which are made of wooden planks.
On them, you will see the 5 dogs clothed and styled as outlaws, sheriffs, businessmen, and other characters. You will also see the cards from 10 to A. The soundtrack is melodic with shooting sounds and dog barks.
The low-value symbols are the playing cards from 10 to A. Land 3 to 5 of the 10, J or Q on a pay-line to win 0.20x to 1x stake. The K and A return from 0.40 to 2 times your stake for 3 to 5 matching symbols on a pay-line.
The premiums are 5 cute dogs dressed in hats and garments. They appear as gamblers, business dogs, high-class lady dogs, outlaws and sheriff dogs. Their payouts are from 0.80x to 4x stake, 1.2x to 6x stake and from 1.6x to 8x stake for 3 to 5 matching ones on a pay-line. The best-paying symbol is the game logo – land 3, 4 or 5 of it in a combination to win 2, 4 or 10 times your stake, respectively.
The wild is the icon with 2 crossed pistols and it substitutes for all symbols except the scatter. It can substitute for more than one symbol at a time and is the symbol with the highest payout. Land 3, 4 or 5 wild symbols in a spin to win 4, 8 or 20 times your stake, respectively.
The Cash Grab Bonus you trigger when you land 3 or more of the symbols with the bag with the $ sign on reels 1, 3 and 5 in a spin. These 3 symbols become then selectable and you can pick one to reveal the cash prize you win. They are in the range 2x to 50x total bet.
Land 3 or more Free Spins symbols with the horseshoe at once to activate 10 Free Spins with ‘Pick Your Wild’ Bonus. The rewards will be as follows:
You will play these rounds on different reels. The payouts of the card royal wilds are different. The 10, J and Q return 0.2, 0.4 and 1x stake for 3, 4 and 5 symbols in a paying combination. The K and A card wilds pay 0.4, 0.8 and 2 times your stake for 3, 4 and 5 cards of a kind on a pay-line. You cannot re-trigger the free spins.
If you are into animal-themed slots and like dogs, A Western Tail can appeal to you. The game is cute, funny and has decent features. The top payout of 500 times your stake may not be enough for all players. So, it is more suitable for newbies and players sustaining smaller bankrolls.
