Frontier Renegades Review

Howdy Partner. The lawman is back in town as a developer releases a brand new Wild West-inspired slot - Frontier Renegades. Corral bandits and get paid in this exciting slot, featuring a unique mechanic. Unlike other slots in the niche, Frontier Renegades offers a different kind of gameplay as well as the atmosphere, so don't expect to see another bonafide copy of popular titles. However, the question remains, will this creation be able to surpass the success of top-stars of the niche?

Frontier Renegades - Design and Symbols

When it comes to the looks, the developers have taken a different approach to the design, so Frontier Renegades won't have that brutal and gritty vibe like the games with the word 'dead' in the title offer. It's rather a cartoonish representation of the Wild West, which is not that 'Wild' actually. It's bold and bright, though, it definitely lacks originality when comparing to well-known slots, and the general atmosphere is really similar to other western themed slots. It's still pleasing to the eye, though, certainly not what you expect from the game featuring the Old West theme.

Loading the game will take you to familiar grounds indeed as the wooden structures spread across the old town road make up the backdrop. Adding a final touch to the general atmosphere is the classical cowboy soundtrack which plays whilst you spin the reels, capturing the essential Western vibe. The top-notch quality sound effect will accompany you throughout the session, highlighting the Big Wins with shot sounds and 'Yeee Hawwww' exclamations.

As we head over to the paytable we see a bunch of 9-A royals which may up the lower value symbols. The premiums are better and are represented by a cowboy starter pack, including such props as horseshoes and ropes, spurred boots, hats, and Stetsons. There's also a sheriff Wild symbol included as well as three different WANTER posters, though, their true values reveals within the bonus game. At least 3 symbols on a line are required to score a win, while the Stetsons, being the most rewarding among the regulars, pay out for only 2 instances on the same line. Landing 2, 3, 4, and 5 of those will award 0.5x, 3x, 8x, and 20x of the total bet respectively.

Frontier Renegades - Technical Info

The Nobleways engine never did stand out for being the most innovative mechanic. It first debuted in another slot, offering many ways to play, though, in Frontier Renegades powered by the same engine you'll have only 3,125 paylines, so it really fails to shed light on what exactly Nobleways is. Nevertheless, the layout is similar to their previous release featuring the above-mentioned engine, so the game is played across a 5x5 sized grid.

Frontier Renegades is powered by a high volatile math model, though, it comes with a moderate hit rate of 25.75%, so theoretically every fourth spin will be a successful one. This comes with a decent RTP value of 96.41%, which is above the average level within the industry.

Players drop in by setting bets from 0.1$ to 100$ per spin, providing that both high and low rollers will find their preferred stake levels. The maximum potential is not what you would like a highly volatile game to have actually, and the maximum win you can hope for is 2,500x of the bet, which is 250,000$ on a single spin when playing with the max bet option available.

Frontier Renegades - Bonus Features

Frontier Renegades is light on features actually, and to be honest, there's only one feature involved in the game, so those looking for dozens of exciting extras may skip the title beforehand. Otherwise, if you're OK with a poor variety of things to do, you're welcome.

Keep an eye for the sheriff badge Scatters for they're the key to triggering the Free Spins feature. Landing in any position across the grid, 3, 4, and 5 Scatters will award 10, 15, and 20 Free Spins respectively. It's the bonus game where the Wild eventually come into play since you won't be able to land a single one during the base game. However, they only can land onto the reels 2-5 to assist you to create winning combos by substituting other regulars.

During the Free Spins round, all wanted posters landing onto the grid will have particular bounty values attached to them. In order to collect the bounties, at least 1 sheriff Wild is required to being in view. What is most impressive about the wanted posters is that in case you're lucky enough to land more than 1 sheriff alongside some posters, each of the Wilds will collect the bounties. The values displayed are based on the total bet amount:

• Man in a bandana - 2.5x or 10x of the bet.
• Lady bandit - 15x, 20x, or 25x of the bet.
• Man with a mustache - 200x of the bet.

The 200 Spins Experience

We tested this game to complete the review and figure out whether this title is worth playing, and since you might be interested in the outcomes of our small test, here we'll share the details of our session. It's necessary to mention that first of all we made our test before the actual release, and secondly, even though we knew that 200 spins were not enough to provide any accurate statistics, and spinning for an extended period of time was required to develop a sense of what the game is really about, we didn't have that luxury so opted for a close-to-reality number of spins for it was enough to form a first impression.

To keep things simple we preferred a rather moderate bet of 1$ per spin. Our aim was to define how could Free Spins pop up or would they do within 200 spins since due to lack of extras in the base game the only way to multiply our bankroll was the bonus game. We failed to land a single decent win during the main game so that it's not even worth mentioning. Looking ahead, it took us approximately 160 spins to trigger the Free Spins, though, by that time we had a 100 bucks loss. Long story short, we were lucky enough to hit a couple of Big Wins during the bonus game thanks to the posters that land on almost every spin, and the total surplus of the Free Spins was 107.20$.

We had 40 more spins left to finish our test, and oddly enough, when it was about to end another bonus appeared, though, this time we definitely lacked some luck and it ended up with a 37.4x total win. All up, it really seems that Frontier Renegades really demands manifesting a great level of patience to land something decent. You won't benefit much during the base game, however, due to the poor feature hit rate waiting for the bonus to eventually pop up is likely to be a quite challenging task. Nevertheless, the wait is worth it.

Frontier Renegades - Verdict

All said and done, this creation fails to offer super exciting gameplay. The base game is basic and you won't have anything to keep you in the right mood for the developer even omitted Wild symbols during it. You will though find it more appealing when you get to the Free Spins, however, players are more likely to shut the game off before eventually triggering the bonus game.

It won't turn your dreams of never-seen-before riches true either in case you finally made it to the bonus. Not to say that 250,000$ on a single spin is a meager cash amount, though, it requires picking a high betting option to hit a tasty jackpot, otherwise, you will have to make do with way less desired payouts. 2,500 times the stake is definitely not the most inspiring payout worth chasing.

The Wild West theme remains the main plus of the game, and will supposedly be the main reason why players will feel drawn to spin the reels on it, even though it also fails to be too original. Nevertheless, if you're into relaxing gameplay and don't feel too bothered about relatively low potential, Frontier Renegades may be worth a try.
