Turkey Shoot Wild X Slots
Don’t get confused; this is not a holiday-themed game. Although there are plenty of elements that make it look Thanksgiving-themed, this game can and should be enjoyed all year. You’d never guess how fun this game is by looking at it, but there is a lot of fun to be had playing Turkey Shoot. This game isn’t going to win best of the year, but you’ll understand why it's great as the picture comes together.
No Funny Business
There is no question about the difficulty level of this game because it’s about as basic as they come. If you are looking for a game that has a ton of features and needs ten years of training to understand, this is not the game for you. This throwback to the simple days of slots is perfect for those looking for an uncomplicated good time.
There isn’t a lot of background in this game, as the screen is mostly covered by a traditional three-reel slot machine. In an effort to make this machine as authentic as possible, there isn’t much on the screen but some thematic elements and game controls. The symbols are exactly what you would expect from such a straightforward game, where they mix together thematic symbols with traditional slot symbols. You will find the 7, bar, bell, and cherry symbols, as well as a couple of themed symbols for the bonus features.
Even the sound effects in this game are somehow better off being simple. There is no music playing in the background, but every spin sounds like a gameshow spin. If you have your volume full, this sound may be jarring because it is loud, but its short duration makes it a positive aspect of the game instead of an annoying feature. There are a few other sound effects that are overshadowed by the spin music, but that is okay. Ultimately, you get the best of both worlds as the game isn’t silent, but it doesn’t have repetitive music playing in the background whether you are spinning or not.
You’ll Gobble Up These Features
A game of this caliber doesn’t have a ton of features because the mechanics aren’t there. However, this game still has a couple of fun features that make the game enjoyable and break up the monotony of spinning repeatedly. With only a single pay line, you will want all the help you can get.
There are two wild symbols you will want to know about. The first is a straightforward Turkey with a 2x and a Turkey Shoot Wild X logo that has a 5x on it. Either of these on a winning line pays out the 2x or 5x, but a combination of these symbols on a winning line can pay out up to 4,000x. If you hit three of a kind of the 5x symbol, you could be looking at 15,000x your initial bet.
The real fun is when you unlock the bonus game that is out of line with the rest of this game. When you land the logo bonus turkey on the third reel, it triggers this side game that transports you to a new screen. There, you are offered multiple turkeys to choose from. Choose a turkey and fire to win a prize. Most of the prizes aren’t great, but you have up to three chances to win if you don’t like your first prize. More importantly, this fun feature breaks up the repetition of spinning repeatedly.
One more feature that you will miss if you aren’t looking for it is the gamble button. This small button at the bottom of the machine next to the paytable button is an instant feature button. After you win, you can press this money to automatically double or nothing your win.
A Single Pay Line Can Still Be Fun
Despite the fact that this game has three reels and a single pay line, it is still a ton of fun. They manage to make the most out of such a simple game and add features you wouldn’t think about. The turkey hunting side game is a brilliant way to break up the repetitiveness of slots, and the gamble button really makes you question if the risk is worth the reward. The simplistic look of the game also benefits it because, with a game like this, you don’t really care about the theme; you just want to win and maybe play the side game. Even if you don’t think this game is for you, try it a couple of times, and you may be surprised how much it grows on you.
