The True Sheriff Slots
The Wild West. It’s held our imagination for years. Tales of cowboys and bank robbers, shootouts and train robberies, they’re the stuff of legend and have kept us coming back for more. As well as being the focus of several movies and TV shows, the Wild West is one of the most popular slot themes. There’s just something perfect about the world when it comes to adapting it to slots. And one of the first to do it was leading developer BetSoft when they introduced the world to their The True Sheriff slot. This is a classic BetSoft slot with its design and characters. However, there’s still a lot to like. The old town background is perfect and the symbols are all unique and come with their own fun sound effects - which makes up for the no music. True Sheriff won’t blow you away when compared to more recent BetSoft games but it’s still a classic! But how will players fare in the Old West? Let’s find out…
Bets and Paylines
The True Sheriff is a 5 reel slot with 30 paylines. Bet sizes are from $0.30 to $15.00, making this one ideal for players who don’t want to burn through their entire bankroll in only a few spins.
Play Symbols
The True Sheriff has a great collection of premium and non premium symbols…
The SHERIFF is the top symbol. 5 or more of him and you’ll be the true sheriff!
The OUTLAW is the second symbol.
Followed by the MAYOR.
And the final premium is the WOMAN.
The non premium symbols are the standard TEN, JACK, QUEEN, KING and ACE playing cards. However, each of these is designed specifically to match the theme of the game. It’s a small but unique detail that really ups the playing factor.
The GUN is the WILD. When it appears on the third reel it will trigger the special wild feature - which we will detail below.
The BADGE is the SCATTER. 3 or more will trigger the free spins feature.
Special and Bonus Features
For an older game, The True Sheriff has a wonderfull collection of features…
