The Good The Bad And The Ugly Review

Based on a classic self-titled movie starring Clint Eastwood, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly is a Western-themed slot from G.Games with plenty of reasons to keep punters hooked onto their screens. Alongside the exciting theme, the slot comes with a couple of lucrative features, capable of delivering tasty payouts of up to 5,000x of the bet.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Slot Outlook

The Dollars Trilogy directed by Sergio Leone is a cult film series, known for establishing the Spaghetti Western genre and inspiring countless Western movies. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is the third and final chapter of the trilogy, telling the story of a gunslinger trio competing to find the hidden Confederate Gold during the American Civil War. The huge financial success was partially achieved not only thanks to remarkable Clint Eastwood's acting but the setting and superb atmosphere of Wild West.

This takes us to the G.Games brainchild, which manages to convey the general ambiance found in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly film, but has nothing to do with the plot. Anyway, the slot offers perfect aesthetics when it comes to the game's appearance. Set in the backdrop of an old western town, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly slot boats a tradigital Wild West-inspired look, while the soundtrack deserves special mentioning here, as it captures the essential Western vibes and adds a final touch to the immersive atmosphere.

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly Reel Screen

The actions take place across a 5x3 grid with 10 ways to win. Playable on any device, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly offers players to place wagers from 0.05$ to 20$ per spin. Speaking of stats, G.Games definitely failed to master the art of balancing for the RTP is 95%, while the volatility is set around a medium-high level, so don't expect to be showered in wins. However, you can still hope for decent payouts of up to 5,000x of the bet here, which is 100,000$ on a single spin when playing with the max bet option available.

Scoring a win requires matching at least 3 symbols on a line, while full combos are achieved by landing 5 instances of the same symbol on a single payline. The symbol collection includes 10 regular symbols, split into highs and lows.

The pay symbols start at the low end with A-10 royals, which are followed by pistols, sheriff badges, explosives, gold ingots and coins, and safes. The payouts are decent as low-paying symbols are worth from 3x to 10x of the bet, while premiums award from 15 to 50 times the stake for 5-of-a-kind combos.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Bonus Features

G.Games is not the first to pay homage to this Western classic and adapt it into an online slot. The Good, The Bad And The Wild developed by Pariplay appeared to be pretty successful and stood out with its extensive use of Wild symbols. G.Games takes a different approach to the gameplay, focusing on bonus games, though, loads of Wilds can also be found here.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly comes with 5 Wild symbols, represented by all sorts of armed characters. Here we get an Indian lady with a tomahawk, a gunslinger with dual pistols, a sheriff with a rifle, a lady with throwing knives, and a cowboy with a shotgun. All of them can land anywhere onto the reels during both the base and the bonus games to substitute for all other regular symbols, assisting players to form winning combos.

Whenever 3 Scatter symbols appear anywhere in view during the base game, a bonus is awarded. Players proceed to a selection screen, where they can pick one of the following options:

• The Good - awards 10 Free Spins. All Wilds become Sticky for the duration of the bonus game.

  

  Retriggers are possible, with 3 Scatters awarding +10 additional spins.
• The Bad - awards 5 Free Spins. A multiplier trail comes into play, starting at 3x. Collecting TNT symbols will increase the multiplier, advancing to 7x, 15x, and 50x. Unlocking multipliers will also award +5 additional Free Spins. The multipliers are applied to all wins that include Wild symbols.
• The Ugly - awards a random cash prize of 25x to 100x of the bet.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Slot Verdict

G.Games did a nice job of paying homage to the cult classic Western film. With sharp visuals and an immersive soundtrack, it perfectly conveys the atmosphere of the Old West, and exciting bonus games add an extra layer of entertainment to the gameplay.

However, it's not all rosy when it comes to the gameplay and especially balancing.

Good thing that the devs included multiple bonus games and a nice range of Wilds symbols to saturate the gameplay. Nevertheless, due to the poor RTP and pretty volatile math model, getting wins is quite challenging. While the base game is rather rewarding, the same cannot be said about the bonus games, which turned out to be stingy with the prizes. During our test, neither The Good nor The Bad Free Spins features awarded more than 30x of the bet total win.

All up, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is a fun-filled slot, managing to stick out from the crowd with an interesting theme and distinctive bonus features, but still failing to be a worthy alternative to huge hits like Deadwood or Dead or Alive 2, dominating the niche. However, if you're OK with a relatively low payback percentage and are really into the theme, you will surely love it. Otherwise, consider choosing something more rewarding.
