The bonuses of Cowboys & Aliens

Cowboys & Aliens slot machine has an “Alien Weapon” prize function. It activates when a pistol appears on the first reel. A triangle will then rotate on it, allowing for numbers from 1 to 4 to appear as a result. Then a pistol shoots at as many tabs as the number that appeared on the triangle. The tabs that were shot are filled with wild symbols. The pistol shoots only at the three middle reels. The pistol does not shoot the bonus icons. After a series of shots, winning combinations are calculated.

If at least 3 icons that are represented by the logo of the game appear anywhere on the playing field, then 8 free spins of the reels will be launched. During the spins, the area with these icons is highlighted, and when the reels stop, it is filled with wild symbols. If during any rotation the icons with the “Bonus” inscription appear on the 1st and 5th reels, a thematic prize game begins. During this game, you must select one of three characters, who will then fight with the alien invaders, bringing you instant prize payouts.
