The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

Clint Eastwood. A movie legend in my eyes and the toughest rooting tooting cowboy out there my fine friends… So how would he feel about The Good, The Bad & The Ugly slot from Gamevy? Well, this isn’t the only slot based on Sergio Leone’s 1966 classic Western – nor is the theme all that original – both Deadwood and Tombstone have been done in the last 18 months and very well indeed.  And as such, this slot has a lot to live up to.

The game is brought to from Gamevy and Games Global and features wilds and a choice of 3x Free Spins features.

The Graphics

Fire up the game and you will immediately recognise the famous music in the background. The graphics are amazing; the action is set is a Western town complete with excellent details including a bank ready to be held up, tumbleweed rolling and vultures circling above. This is up there with the Eclipse of the Sun God slot in terms of looks.

Your reels are set on a wooden frame that has nooses, skulls and lanterns hanging off it, plus the 10 paylines all numbered and the odd horseshoe. It will get you in the same kind of mood as Skywind’s Big Buffalo slot: let’s head west!

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Slot Game Play

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly slot has 5 reels 3 rows and 10 paylines. You can place your bets from 0.50 up to 20.00 per gunslinging  spin. Pretty standard when you compare it to the likes of the Warrior Graveyard xNudge slot from Nolimit City, but it is a good ‘un nevertheless!

The high value symbols include the bank vault, a large pile of gold coins, a sheriff’s badge and a pistol. Your lower value icons are made up of the 10, J, Q, K and A playing cards.

The game also comes with 5x different wilds, in the shape of the characters in this Western tale. These are the sheriff, the Native American lady brandishing a dagger, and 3 mean-looking outlaws who are more than likely the eponymous Good, Bad and Ugly. They will do the usual job of Wilds to substitute for all other icons on the reels except for the Skull bonus scatter symbol.

The Bonuses

Landing 3x of the skull bonus symbols and you will set off a Free Spins feature. Next you must get to choose between the rather aptly named The Good, The Bad and The Ugly extras:

The Good

This will give you 10 Free Spins plus sticky wilds courtesy of the sheriff that will stay in place for the whole round. You can also re-trigger the bonus and scoop 10 extra spins.

The Bad

Get ready to rob the bank my dear chums in 3 stages! If you choose this option you’ll be awarded 5 Free Spins – to get more spins you must collect the dynamite sticks on the reels and level up. There’s also an increasing multiplier that starts at x3, x7, x15 and goes all the way to 50x.

The Ugly

There are no Free Spins here, but instead you’ll get an instant cash prize of between 25x and 100x of your total bet. A good option if you want to get straight down to the wins

The Monkey Verdict

As a fan of the original film, how does this slot measure up?

Everything from the spin soundtrack, the dust-filled ghost town and the gritty outlaws are delivered in style. And the game play is good too; especially the 3 pick bonuses – which is a feature I’m a fan of.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly slot is highly entertaining. Those Gamevy chaps are not messing around…
