Playtech Launches John Wayne Online Slot

Close on the heels of Marilyn Monroe, Playtech has launched an online slot game featuring another Hollywood legend. This is John Wayne, who made the Western genre of Hollywood films his own for five decades. The reels are set in the main street of a Western town. Every detail adds to the theme such as the payline buttons being represented as bullets.

The wild symbol is a full length color image of Wayne. It also offers the jackpot line payout of 5,000 coins. The wild symbol starts paying out when two or more appear left to right on an enabled payline. The greater interest to John Wayne fans are the three black and white unforgettable close ups from his earlier movies. They do pay a lesser amount than the wild symbol. The other thematic symbols are Wayne’s trade mark hat, red scarf and cowboy boots. The high value card icons have also been crafted in a manner appropriate to the theme.

John Wayne was known as Duke. Wayne clarified that he had delivered newspapers along with his dog named Duke and that name rubbed off on him. The Playtech slot game celebrates this nickname through the Duke’s Badge Feature. Three or more Duke’s Badges anywhere on the reels during main game trigger this feature. The player is asked to choose one of the badges to win a random cash prize. The more badges in the trigger, the higher the prize. Three badges award 4 to 8 times the total bet. Four badges award 20 to 30 times the total bet. Five badges award 80 to 120 times the total bet.

The highlight of this Playtech online slot game is the John Wayne’s Ranch Bonus. The bonus symbol is a plaque with a steer head. When this symbol appears anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5 simultaneously during main game the John Wayne’s Ranch Bonus feature is activated. The initial award is 3 free spins with a multiplier of x1. The bottom left corner of the screen displays the number of cans that the player can hit. He is given unlimited bullets to do so. A hit on a can may result in the following benefits. The player can win more free spins. The multiplier can be enhanced by x1. The player may get three more cans to hit. This can happen up to two times per bonus round. A 'More Free Games’ retrigger symbol can be added to reel 3 during the free spins and it awards four more free spins. A mystery extra wild symbol or a mystery extra scatter symbol may be added in the free spins. After all the cans are hit the free games start. The bonus symbols do not appear during the free spins Games so the John Wayne’s Ranch Bonus cannot be re-triggered.
