A review and info of John Wayne (The Duke) online slot machine.

The John Wayne slot is a Playtech game and part of their ever expanding licensed slots portfolio. It’s a 25-line 5-reel slot.

Free spins and bonus games

There are a number of bonus games and free spins in this slot.

The Duke’s Badge feature:

3 or more sheriff’s stars kick start the feature – it’s a simple pick a star to get a cash prize game this one – of course the higher your bet entering the feature the more you’ll be rewarded with. I was playing for $5 per spin and won $40, $30, $35, $25, $40 and $40 in the six features I got on my first hours play. Then, I also got 4 sheriff’s stars in one spin and picked a star containing $110. I usually play “auto spins until feature” and get the feature pretty frequently.

John Wayne’s Ranch Bonus

Three ranch signs will start the Ranch bonus. The signs are only on reels 1, 3 and 5 making it quite difficult to trigger this bonus. OK, I’m either pretty unlucky or this feature is near impossible to trigger – I’ve had thousands of spins now and not a sniff of it…

The payout:

The game is mid-variance and there are some high paying symbols. Five wilds pays top of course followed by the John Wayne photograph symbols.

Summary:

A really nice slot, entertaining and nicely presented. The $5 minimum bet will put a lot of players off but if you like to play at these amounts then the RTP is quite nice and the maths feel well-balanced. I just wish I could get that Ranch feature…

I’ll keep spinning and report back.
