Final Thoughts
For the final instalment in The Cult trilogy, Big Time Gaming has resisted the urge to freak fans out with something wildly innovative, choosing instead to largely stick to what made the previous games so great. Or punishing, depending on your viewpoint and past experiences. Make no mistake; Outlaw is potentially a rough ride like either game which preceded it – or lucrative, depending on how luck is fairing on the day. The base game coasts along, bolstered by a lot more ways to win than previous games and the two full reel wilds. Although, the Outlaw Wild is a bit of a let down when you realize it counts for a single symbol rather than the number of symbols that would have landed on its reel. So does The Sheriff, but it's got the x7 on board.
Once free spins or Enhanced Free Spins hit, it is freaking game on, though, and there are several ways of possibly getting your butt there. Unlike previous incarnations, applicable players have no need to sit patiently (or impatiently) through the base game for the requisite number of scatters to hit. Indeed, one of the first semi-organic triggers came from a circa 31x the bet base game win, leading to a successful Win Exchange spin, then onto Enhanced Free Spins. It can happen. Or, if waiting around for the right series of events to occur doesn't appeal, there's always a straight-out bonus buy, where available.
As for features, again, they bring back memories of the earlier slots, but with their own unique twists. Fallen Angel Free Spins managed to land quite a few Sticky Wilds, which was nice to see, but like Wild Flower, it does not have the Angel Wild/multipliers of Lil Devil. Instead, the additional multipliers are reserved for the two Dizzy in the Head Free Spins rounds. Without a doubt, the Enhanced version offers the most tempting variety of the two, where the x777 taunts from the top of the ladder. That leaves potential, reaching 14,000x in the base game and 64,400x in free spins.
Not the biggest number in the range, but a fitting total to close off the trilogy. The same can be said about the rest of Outlaw as a whole, and each of the three slots, whilst similar in some ways, has something different to offer. Lil Devil has the honour of being first, Wild Flower is famous for its volatility, and Outlaw kinda mixes and matches elements of both while injecting a few things all of its own. The end product manages to close the curtains on the series with a bang; some might have expected a slightly larger bang, but a big raucous bang all the same.
