Spitoon

There are a lot of online slots out there that deal with Wild West or gold rush themes. The Spitoon slot, available at Storm Gaming casinos, is one of those, but it doesn't take itself as seriously as most of the titles in this sub-genre. That helps to give it a more fun atmosphere, but it comes at the cost of lower-quality graphics. The gameplay is pretty solid, however, but some players may find that it's a bit too bland for their tastes. It's a title that looks dated and that doesn't hold up well in modern times, but it has a niche audience of players who like this type of experience.

Format and Layout

The format is simple enough with five vertical reels and 20 paylines. This happens across three rows of symbols to complete one of the most popular layouts in the history of the industry. You can pick the number of paylines you want to play with in this game, but you should make sure to keep it at 20 at all times. A failure to max out your payline number will lower your RTP, and that means worse chances of winning sessions.

The minimum wager is with a $0.01 coin, and with all paylines activated, that comes out at $0.20. This goes up to the $0.25 level, which is worth $5 per spin. You'll have no problem at small or medium stakes with finding a bet size you're comfortable with, but high rollers probably won't find wagers large enough to be interesting here.

Wild Wild West Symbol

The wild symbol in this game is the sign that says Wild West. It's probably the most important symbol in the game even though it doesn't trigger any features. This is because five of a kind on an activated payline gives you the largest win you can get in the whole game at the 10,000x level. Four of a kind drops ways down to 250x, and three of a kind is worth 50x. The huge drop in pays is important here because it shows what the volatility is like centering around the jackpot win.

Three Bonus Features

Three of the wheels symbol gives you between three and 10 spins on the wheel for instant payouts. You can also earn a shot at the TNT Feature with three or more of the TNT symbol that allows you to keep getting wins until you decide to stop before you lose them all from exploding dynamite. Finally you have the Cashpot Feature, which is activated by at least three of the money bag symbol. The bag will shake to drop winnings on the reels to give you what amounts to a different variation of a set of instant wins.

Other Symbols and Payouts

Aside from the wild, there are six other symbols that you can find on the reels that will give you payouts. They come in three tiers. The first tier only has the snakebite antidote on it, and it looks like a green flask with a red cross on it. This symbol pays out 500x for five of a kind. The second tier has the rattlesnake and the horse, the only two animals in the game, and they each pay 200x for five. Finally, the lowest tier has the three human characters, and each of them pay 100x for five.

The structure of this pay table along with how the features fit into play gives this game a pretty high volatility compared to other non-progressive games. This play style isn't for everyone, so it's something to keep in mind if you decide to give this one a shot.

In Summary

With the Spitoon slot from Storm Gaming, you have to know what you're getting yourself into and what the game has to offer and does not have to offer. One thing it does not offer is top-tier graphics. In fact, the graphics are very plain and average or below-average depending on your standard. Another thing it doesn't offer is much in terms of a story or what's going on for the premise of the game.

With that having been said, it does have a strong top jackpot of 10,000x, and it's set up to be a high-volatility game, so there isn't much in the range of mid-level pays between that and the next-highest win of 500x. If you're fine with spending your time trying to stay afloat while you shoot for the top jackpot, you might find that you enjoy this game more than you'd expect.
