Introducing Hostile Cowboys, a top-tier game set in the Wild West

Yee-Haw! Ride off in the American West with Hostile Cowboys, a popular Far West themed instant game designed by La Française des Jeux.

Traditional mechanics, wild features

Part of the Illiko instant range, the gameplay of Hostile Cowboys is a classic matrix-based game. Players have 5 throws, each of which reveals a set of symbols on a grid. They can choose to reveal symbols manually or using the autoplay mode. If 3 identical symbols are found aligned horizontally, vertically or diagonally, players win the corresponding prize.

To further push the excitement, bold features are scattered throughout the game:

Fireguns and esplosives destroy some of the symbols on the grid which are then replaced by new ones to amplify suspense.

Extra lives (+1, +2, …) give players new chances to strike gold.

– A bonus game can take players through the revolving doors of a saloon where they are given a new chance to play. Although the matrix is similar to the main game, it can reveal a golden coin symbol with a bull’s head that bears a special prize. The golden coin may also have a prize multiplier.

A five-star immersive gaming experience

What sets this game apart is the unique atmosphere it offers on top of the gameplay. Players are transported to the dusty trails of the Old Wild West populated by maverick cowboys and sheriffs. The game truly captures the spirit of the era thanks to the four different characters and their accessories namely boots, hats, stars, … used as symbols.

Last but not least, the prime quality of the game’s graphics and sounds is truly what increases the immersion tenfold, creating an authentic gold rush experience. Saddle up and enjoy the ride!
