You can play with wagers from 0.20 to 20 credits per spin on mobile phones, tablets, PCs and laptops. There are 2 options for the free spins with completely different rules and gameplay.

The slot takes place in front of a canyon with rocks seen on the background and a clear blue sky. The playing grid is made of wooden planks and the symbols appear on dark wood planks as well. You will see cards, bottles of whiskey, crossed pistols, 4 outlaws.
There are stacks of dynamite and sheriff’s badges. On both sides of the extra reel, there is a lantern. You will be listening to relaxing country music in the American Wild West style. Along with it, you will hear the sounds of the reels and the explosion of symbols. The graphics and soundtrack are pleasant and suitable to chill out while you are playing.
The symbols include the 9 to A playing cards at the low end and some typical for cowboy and Wild West-style slots items. The cards 9, 10, J, Q, K and A pay from 0.10 to 0.20 for 3 matching cards and 0.8 to 1.75 for 6 identical cards. The paying combination must be formed of 3 or more symbols of one kind on consecutive reels. This must happen from left to right only. The premium symbols include a whiskey bottle, 2 crossed pistols. There are stacks of dynamite and a sheriff’s badge.
The bottle of whiskey and the crossed pistols have the same payouts. They return from 0.25 to 2 times your stake for 3 to 6 symbols from left to right. The sticks of dynamite pay from 1 to 7.5 times your stake for 3 to 6 matching symbols. The top player is the sheriff’s badge. It is the only symbol that has a payout for 2 symbols and returns 2 times your stake. Landing 3, 4, 5 and 6 symbols from left to right of it gives you 5, 10, 25 and 50 times your stake, respectively.
Desperado Wild Megaways uses cascades and reactions with every winning combination. The win ways vary from 324 to 117,649 according to the number of matching symbols. There are 4 kinds of wilds and these are 4 outlaws in Wild West style. They substitute for all other symbols except the Bonus symbol. During the base game and free spins, these 4 wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only.
Landing 4 or more of the Bonus symbols in view in one spin triggers the free spins. Players have to choose between 2 bonus games: the Sunset Free Spins or Jail House Free Spins.
If you got 4 scatters and choose Sunset Free Spins you will receive 8 free rounds. Each extra triggering bonus symbol apart of the 4 required adds 2 more free rounds per scatter. The maximum possible ones are 76 free spins to start with. Each winning cascade increases the value of the unlimited multiplier by 1. The scatters appear on the extra horizontal topmost reels during the rounds. You can win more free rounds by landing 3 scatters in view and get 5 extra free rounds. Landing 4 scatters during the Sunset Free Spins gives you 10 additional free spins.
The Jail House Free Spins triggered with 4 bonus symbols gives you 12 free spins. Each additional scatter apart from the 4 necessary ones adds 2 more free rounds. Up to a maximum of 80 free spins are possible to start with. During them, all wilds drop to the bottom of their reels. Then, they remain locked in their positions for the rest of the spins in the feature. Once a wild symbol locks in, it also determines the Megaways on that reel. Thus, the number of symbols on that reel becomes fixed. When many wilds lock in on the same reel they merge and add a multiplier value to them.
The multiplier value indicates the number of merged wilds on that reel. For example, 2 locked wilds have x2 multiplier, 3 merged wilds result in x3 multiplier and so on. The wild multipliers on different reels multiply their value when they are a part of a winning combination. If you fill a whole reel with 5 locked wilds you will win 5 more free spins. The cascading feature and the extra horizontal reel with 4 symbols on top are disabled during the Jail House Free Spins. The rounds are played with standard spinning reels of a 6-reeled grid.
The slot offers you to take part in a Spin Chance. This is possible should your balance reaches under the current price of play and is over zero. It starts automatically and you have the option to play it by pressing ‘PLAY’ or refuse it by pressing ‘NO THANKS’. This option offers you to wager the credit you have left with a chance to win an extra spin at the price of the current bet.
You will be presented with a pie chart with green and red sections. These are proportional to the size of credit according to the current bet. After playing it, if the pointer stops on the green segment you win and the spin starts automatically. If you land on the red section you lose your credit and exit to the base game.
Prepare for a trip to the Wild West of a laid-back reel adventure with a lot of surprises and chances to score big wins. Desperado Wild Megaways offers classic play of the game with cascades. There are maximum win ways. You have the opportunity to choose your bonus round to suit your preferences. Play for free and if you are pleased, wait for the game to become available for real money play to try your luck.
