High Noon Duel: Bet on Legendary Gunslingers for up to 27,000x Wins

High Noon Duel begins with the sheriff calling time, the townsfolk clearing the streets, and two gunslingers preparing to settle things the old-fashioned way. Giant wilds, cascading wins, and growing multipliers decide who walks away with up to 27,000x your bet. The only question is, who are you rooting for? Here’s how my visit to this town went down.

The game is played on a 6x4 grid with 4,096 ways to win, and symbols pay between just 0.10x and 1x your bet. During my session, most wins landed between 0.10x and 2.40x my stake. Even with so many winning ways and cascading reels, building long cascade chains proved surprisingly difficult, meaning the growing multiplier rarely had enough time to become a major factor.

One mechanic I genuinely liked was the Lady in Black feature. Whenever two Lady symbols landed in the same row or column, every symbol between them transformed into Wilds, often creating several winning combinations at once. It wasn't particularly common, but when it happened, it regularly produced returns between 3x and 7.20x, while my best trigger with three Lady symbols connected paid a clean 25x.

Across my two sessions, the Iron Cowboy scatter appeared much more frequently than Pistol Belle, although Belle usually arrived too late to help complete the progress meter. Filling the Iron Cowboy meter awards 8 Free Spins, where every spin drops a random 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 Mega Wild onto the reels. My bonus rounds usually finished around 45x my bet, helped by the growing multiplier carrying across every free spin, but never quite reaching the huge chains I was hoping for.

High Noon Duel has a few mechanics that break up the usual Wild West formula, especially the Lady in Black wild chains and the oversized Mega Wilds. The base game can feel a little stingy, but when several features line up in the same spin, it's capable of putting together some serious payouts. I’d be returning to the High Noon Duel slot game to see what it can pull off later.

PROS

• Cascading reels with 4,096 paylines
• Wild chains feature
• Two different free spins bonuses
• Up to 27,000x wins

CONS

• Bonus wins were low

Pirate Pledge Frozen Seas: Set Sail for an Exciting Slot Adventure

When Pirate Pledge Frozen Seas loaded, I was immediately impressed by its appearance and design. As you can tell from its name, the slot is themed to pirates and is set in a frozen seascape. I thought the graphics looked great and the animations were excellent.

Thankfully, the gameplay was both engaging and enjoyable. The slot used a 5x4 grid with 16 paylines and had a wild that could expand and trigger respins. As respins took place, the expanded wild moved one position to the left, its multiplier increasing as it did so.

This particular feature came into play a few times, though I didn’t win big from it. My largest payouts came from the slot’s main feature, Hold and Win. This was a standard respin feature played on a separate grid.

The first time I played it, I paid 130x my bet but only ended up winning around 27x, making a loss of just over 100x. The second time, the feature triggered naturally, and my final payout from it this time was 52x.

Even though this was better and I hadn’t paid to play the round, the two winnings combined weren’t enough to cover the 130x cost of buying the feature once. It seemed quite hard to make anywhere close to this amount from the Hold and Win feature.

If you like well-themed slots, I’d certainly suggest giving Pirate Pledge Frozen Seas a go. The theming is top-notch and there’s a lot of detail in the design. The soundtrack fits nicely too.

However, I would avoid buying the respin round as the cost is rather high compared to how much you can win. I’d say it’s best to wait for the feature to trigger on its own. The other respin feature involving moving multiplier wilds will hopefully come into play too.

PROS

• Wilds can expand, gain multipliers, and trigger respins
• Excellent theming and animations

CONS

• Buying respins can be a waste of money
• Hard to land large payouts

Pablo El Diablo: A Carnival That Refused to Celebrate

Elysium Studios threw a Day of the Dead fiesta onto five reels here. A sun-drenched Mexican plaza stretches behind the grid, and pink flower garlands drape from terracotta rooftops. The slot looked ready to celebrate, but I never got the invitation.

The fiesta has 50 paylines with medium volatility and 94.02% RTP. Not the most generous carnival in town, but not necessarily.

I genuinely don't understand how a penguin wandered into this carnival, and Pablo Collector never wandered into my session either. The provider calls him hungry, and apparently, he collects multiplier values scattered across the grid. Would've loved to see it happen.

The base game was hard to watch, and I’m not talking about its visual appeal. The art stayed gorgeous throughout, but spin after spin delivered 0.2x and 0.3x hits that barely registered. Skulls lined up for pocket change. Peppers connected for even less. My balance couldn’t defend long enough.

When the Diablo Wild showed its horns. Flames erupted around the grid, Burning Reels took over, looked like the party was finally starting, and paid only 4x the bet. The music kept playing, but I wasn't dancing.

Behind the flames, there are more features. Three Bonus symbols unlock what the game calls "the bonus of a lifetime." Swapping Tiles can upgrade low-paying symbols into matching premiums. Diablo Re-Spin locks Wilds and offers a second chance. All stayed out of reach during my session.

Overall, as the skulls kept smiling, my balance kept shrinking. Sometimes a beautiful slot just doesn't want you at its fiesta.

PROS

• Multiple feature varieties
• Good visuals

CONS

• Base game hits felt insignificant
• Features didn’t trigger
• Low RTP isn’t only theoretical
