In this competitive and busy online slot market we're continually seeing a resurgence of the most popular themes. As a result, there's no shortage of western themed releases available, with many of the most popular games taking us to the Wild West.
Now, Lucksome are getting in on the action and offering their own unique twist on it, by combining futuristic graphics with a standard western theme – so join the hunt for those on the wanted list and collect bounty prizes along the way in 6 In The Chamber.
With RTP options up to 96.06% (96.29% feature buy), this highly (9/10) volatile release can produce wins up to 50,000x bet in normal mode and 100,000x bet in Hunter Mode.
Like I said, we're in the west today, with that expected sepia tone that we always see in these releases. Wanted posters, a sheriff's office, a saloon, wooden buildings, saddles, ropes, whiskey, playing cards – you name it, 6 In The Chamber has got it.
On the other side of things though, we have a futuristic effect, with an ultra-modern looking pistol, neon blue lights and glowing sheriff's badges. It's a unique combination that can't help but catch your eye, finished off with a bold soundtrack to keep us interested.
6 In The Chamber Base Features
Taking place across 5 reels, wins are formed in 6 In The Chamber by matching at least 3 symbols across adjacent reels, beginning with the leftmost reel, across 1 of 10 fixed win lines. Symbols begin with non premiums, with 5 playing cards – 10s, Js, Qs, Ks and guns, awarding wins between 0.10 and 1x bet for 3 of a kind matches, increasing to values between 2.50 and 10x bet for 5 of a kind wins.
Next up are whiskey bottles and rolls of money, awarding wins of 1 and 1.20x bet respectively for 3 of a kind matches, increasing to values of 20 and 30x bet respectively for 5 of a kind matches.
Premium symbols consist of 3 character symbols, awarding wins between 1.50 and 2x bet for 3 of a kind matches, increasing to values between 40 and 100x bet for 5 of a kind matches.
Hunter Mode
There are a few different features available in 6 In The Chamber, but before we get to those let's discuss the game modes – normal mode or Hunter Mode.
Turning on Hunter Mode costs an additional 50%, but players will see increased Bounty values, an increased maximum win of 100,000x bet, and only Hunter Mode Free Spins can be triggered.
When using Hunter Mode in the 96.06% setting, RTP will increase slightly to 96.21%.
Cascades and Pistol Shots
The first feature to cover is cascades. On every spin all symbols involved in a win will be removed from the reels, with all remaining symbols dropping down to the bottommost available position on their respective reels.
New symbols will then drop in from above to fill the remaining gaps, with cascades continuing until no new wins are formed.
Working hand in hand with cascades are pistol shots. Each time a cascade occurs, the pistol will shoot a new prize.
After the first and second cascade this prize may add Ricochet Wilds to the reels, whilst the third, fourth, fifth or sixth cascade will award a Bounty Prize – small, medium, large or x-large.
Ricochet Wilds are regular Wild symbols that substitute for all symbols except Bonus Scatter symbols.
If a Ricochet Wild lands on top of a Bonus Scatter symbol, it will be converted into a Scatter Wild. If a Ricochet Wild lands on top of an existing Wild symbol, all adjacent symbols will be replaced by extra Wilds.
6 In The Chamber Bonus
Land 3 or more Bonus Scatter Symbols to trigger one of 3 Free Spins modes.
- Rookie (6-10 spins) – 6/10 volatility, maximum Bounty of 20,000x bet.
- Elite (8+ spins) – 7/10 volatility, dead spins increase Bounties, maximum Bounty of 50,000x bet.
- Hunter (10 spins) – 10/10 volatility, maximum Bounty of 100,000x bet.
In all Free Spins modes Ricochet Wilds are guaranteed after cascade 1 and 2, and large and x-large Bounties are bigger, requiring two shots to win.
This means Bounty Prizes are awarded on the third, fourth, sixth or eighth cascade.
The top Bounty Award, Buffalo Bill, only appears in Free Spins and always awards the maximum win for either mode. If he appears, he is locked into position for the remainder of spins.
Bonus Feature Exchange
If Free Spins award 100x bet or more, players in appropriate regions are given the opportunity to use the Bonus Feature Exchange.
Players can collect their Free Spins winnings or choose to buy into one of 3 Super Free Spins modes, collecting whatever change remains.
In the super modes, Buffalo Bill is locked into place from the first spin. The 3 modes remain the same as regular Free Spins, with Rookie, Elite and Hunter.
Buy Bonus
Players in appropriate regions can take advantage of the following Buy Bonus options.
- 6-10 Rookie Spins (6/10 volatility) – 65x bet
- 8+ Elite Spins (7/10 volatility) – 80x bet
- 10 Hunter Spins (10/10 volatility) – 150x bet
RTP ranges between 96.05% and 96.29% when buying Free Spins.
The maximum win available in 6 In The Chamber is 100,000x bet (50,000x bet normal mode). If the sum of a single game round exceeds this, the game round will end and 100,000x bet (50,000x bet normal mode) will be awarded.
First Impression
Another one to add to the long list of western releases available on the market, but this time around thing are slightly different. There's plenty happening in 6 In The Chamber, particularly in the base game with Ricochet Wilds and Bounty Prizes awarded for consecutive cascades.
Add on Hunter Mode for an additional cost of 50%, which guarantees players Hunter Free Spins when the bonus is triggered, increases the value of Bounty Prizes, and increases the maximum win, and it's easy to see what will draw players in.
When it comes to Free Spins, things are stepped up in unique ways depending on the mode chosen or triggered – by guaranteeing Ricochet Wilds will land on the reels, increasing Bounty Prizes with each dead spin, or locking in maximum Bounty Prize values.
When the right combinations occur, wins are possible up to 50,000x bet in normal mode and 100,000x bet in Hunter Mode.
Finally, maths is highly (9/10) volatile, and RTP options are available up to 96.06% (96.29% feature buy), so as always it's worth checking this. If you're looking for a game thats packed full of features but still offers a lucrative maximum win, 6 In The Chamber could be for you.
