Bronco Spirit

Overview of Bronco Spirit slot

Bronco Spirit from the development team at Pragmatic Play always provide excellent games although some are better than others. Bronco Spirit is well executed and whilst not the most exciting slot that they have ever released it is still worth a spin or two. The theme offers super graphics particularly the wild mustang that roam across the prairie and there are plenty of Native American symbology. The theme has been used in many slots so there is the chance that you will have seen all the features before in other slots from Pragmatic Play and others. Pragmatic Play have used a pretty standard style with some additions to ensure that it holds appeal for the player. The scenery is of a high standard so keep reading to see how it works for you.

Bets and Game Play

When it comes to game play you can tell straight away if a slot is going to slow, in this instance it is due to the 5x4 grid with limited ways to win. This 5-reel, 4-row slot provides 75 pay lines and although the background is good it could be mistaken as a slot that has been created using some well-worn stock of images. For the background, the developers treat players to a desert complete with canyons and rocks which is finished with a golden, red tinged sun and if I were to guess I would say it is Arizona or somewhere similar. The slot is classic, and this is reinforced by soundtrack and symbols.
Before you set your reels spinning let us look at the stats which are cleverly shown in a saddle bag. The volatility has been taken down slightly in this slot from the usual math model Pragmatic uses but it stills scores 4.5/5 on their meter and there is a sturdy return to player that stands at 96.51%, however I would suggest that you check this as it can vary dramatically from one casino to another.

When it comes to placing your bet, there is no messing about with the coin value or bet level. All you need to do is choose the stake value that is suitable for you from a minimum of 25p per spin to a maximum of £125 per spin which could tempt some of the mid to high rollers. The aim of this slot is to land three or more matching symbols on your pay line.
You can expect to come across the following Native American styled symbols including the low paying card suits which although attractive do look a little out of place with all the gold and jewels that they are covered in. The higher paying symbols include a peace pipe, campfire, drum, hatchet, tepee, feathered headdress the leading lady Pocahontas. The bronco is the highest paying symbol and will pay out 10x your stake if you land five across one of your pay lines. There is the wild symbol which can substitute for all symbols to create winning combinations and landing five on your pay line will reward you with 10x your stake. When you are playing in the base game the wild will only ever appear on the 10th spin as well as being centre stage in the features.

Features

The features on offer in Bronco’s Spirit are reliant on the scatters and the gold horse coin. The coin plays a part in the progressive feature in the base game. The base game is played in sets of 10 spins and during these spins whenever you land a gold coin it is collected and shows above your reels with the maximum standing at 20. When you get to the 10th spin all the coins that you have collected are randomly added to your reels as wilds. It is worth noting that should you change your bet level in the middle of your 10 spins the slot will retain the gold coins you have collected and then if you return to that level you can pick up where you left off.
There is a free spins feature on offer in Bronco Spirit and you can activate this by landing three or more of the scatter symbols anywhere on your reels. Once you do, you get to choose the volatility that suits how you are feeling. Landing three scatters will reward you with 15 free spins and 4 wilds, or 5 free spins with 7 wilds. Land four scatters rewards you with 30 free spins and 4 wilds, or 10 free spins with 7 wilds. Land five scatters and you are rewarded with 45 free spins and 4 wilds or 15 free spins complete with 7 wilds.

The bonus game is made even more interesting because of the selected number of wilds roam around your reels changing positions with each spin. The scatters are also included in the bonus game and if you land three or more, they will activate the feature and provide you with the options detailed above, and you can choose a different option if you wish.

Conclusion

Even after giving this a spin personally I felt the slot lacked excitement, however Bronco Spirit is sure to appeal to those who enjoy this genre. The ten spins make the slot more exciting particularly as it can lead to potential big wins, but it does not work that way all the time.

Whilst not the most compelling this slot has been created more effectively that Panther’s Reign, or even Golden Beauty which is also a Pragmatic Play slot. The bonus game in Bronco Spirit is almost identical to that in Golden Beauty as they both offer a choice of spins and roaming wilds

Although Bronco Spirit from Pragmatic Play did not make me want to play and play, the features are well created and whilst the wins are not the highest, I did land several in the time I played. In my opinion this would be a brilliant slot for beginners and those who prefer classic features and a more subtle approach to playing.
