Bronco Spirit™ is a young mustang horse who lives in the Wild West. One night, Bronco Spirit™ discovers a robbers' camp which, curious, he enters. However, the horsemen wake up and chase him with the intention of catching him. The horse manages to escape. Bronco Spirit™ meets the stern army colonel, and the young Indian, who is under arrest. When the colonel tries to tame Bronco Spirit™, he is knocked down, the horse and the young Indian run away with other horses.
The young Indian and his mare Rain take to the village. The boy also tries to ride Bronco Spirit™, but he refuses, so the young Indian puts him in the care of Pluie so that she (teaches him how to behave). As the days go by, Bronco Spirit™ loses his distrust of humans and falls in love with Rain, making him doubt between his desire to be free and his desire to be next to the mare.
One day, the cavalry regiment, under the colonel's command, attacks the young Indian's village and kidnaps Bronco Spirit™. He is sold to the men working on the construction of the railway. In the wagon, the horse, consoled by the memories of his family and some of the village horses, decides to fight for his freedom.
When the train stops, Bronco Spirit™ and several other horses are hitched to a locomotive to climb a hill. Once at the top, the horse observes with horror that the humans intend to cross their meadow with the railway. To avoid it, he collapses to the ground and the workers, thinking him dead, push him away.
Bronco Spirit™ frees himself and also the other horses, derailing the locomotive down the hill. Bronco Spirit™ goes to find the young Indian boy, they play in the water and become friends. When the horse and the young Indian arrive in the village, the young man calls Rain, whom he had found and healed. The two horses happily meet and the young Indian decides to free Pluie. Bronco Spirit™ and Pluie reunite with the other wild horses and finally live in freedom as leaders of the troop.
The bonus symbol is represented by the landscape and the bonus word inside and it appears on all reels. The WILD symbol is the wild word written in gold and it substitutes for all symbols except the bonus symbol. It only appears on the 10th spin and during the base game and as a roaming wild during the free spins feature.
The game is played in a series of 10 spins, which the player can purchase with any bet. The game numbers increase from round to round to 10, then restart at 1. All gold coin symbols with a horse's head appearing on the screen during a 10 round cycle are accumulated in a gauge at the top of the game.
Up to 20 can be accumulated. On the 10th spin, all accumulated coins return to the screen in random locations as wilds and are applied to the spin result. The progress is saved for each possible bet and returning to a certain bet restores the progress, including the accumulated symbols and the number of spins in the round.
If players change the bet during the 10 round cycle it resets the round count to 1 and all slots are reset. Players must get 3 or more symbols to trigger the free spins feature. At the start of the free spins feature, depending on the number of symbols obtained, players will be able to choose one of the following options:
5 symbols pay: 45 free spins with 4 wilds or 15 free spins with 7 wilds. 4 symbols pay: 30 free spins with 4 wilds or 10 free spins with 7 wilds. 3 symbols pay: 15 free spins with 4 wilds or 5 free spins with 7 wilds. During the free spins feature, a number of wilds are added to the screen depending on the option chosen.
These remain on the screen until the end of the game by randomly changing location on each free spin. Any number of wilds on the screen can then randomly reveal 2x multipliers that multiply each other on any payline they appear on.
Three or more scatter symbols during the feature pays out a new free spins sequence that will play at the end of the sequence. There is no limit to the number of retriggers possible. Special reels are in play during the free spins bonus game.
The medium volatility games pay evenly and the payout range is from low to very high. All symbols pay from left to right on selected paylines. All wins are multiplied by the bet per line. All values are expressed as actual coin wins. Only the highest win on each line is paid. In case of multiple payline wins, all wins are added to the total winnings.
Bronco Spirit™ is not just another of the Wild West themed slots it is much more than that. With the omnipresence of horses as in Hercules and Pegasus™, the equine race are put forward and offer a beautiful image of themselves: animals that are almost otherworldly in their beauty.
As far as features go: it's not huge! Wilds, scatters and free spins. But the good thing is that for the free spins players can choose between two variants: more free spins and less wilds or less free spins and more wilds. It's original, I can't say anything else!
Bets will range from €0.25 to €125, a wide enough range to please most players. Whether it's the shy ones who don't have a full wallet or those who don't watch the money they spend, they will all find something to play for and that's important. The return to the player is set at 96.51% which is well within the average and high volatility. Winnings can fall as well as wait for a good while.
In summary Bronco Spirit™ is a simple game, the symbols are immediately recognisable, very easy to understand as the gameplay is not at all complicated. Players will find themselves involved (for the free spins), there will be enough bet values for all kinds of players. It's a fun slot that is sure to entertain players and drop some good prizes!
