6 in the Chamber Slot by Lucksome 🎰 Free Demo and Review

6 in the Chamber Review

Lucksome rides into town like they mean business with what amounts to their first Wild West release, and what a debut it is indeed. 6 in the Chamber has everything it takes to make a massive splash in this popular genre, and the top dogs better watch out. The cartoonish visuals are neatly done, and you get to meet some fierce-looking bounty hunters. One of them looks like a Native American version of John Rambo, and you can take down insane bounties up to 100,000x your stake in this game.

The soundtrack sets the atmosphere from the get-go, and consecutive Cascading wins can trigger a gun that shoots down wilds and takes down bounty prizes for you. This is a futuristic cyberpunk take on the genre, so the weapons are more advanced than usual. There are 3 tiers to the bonus round, and each tier comes with more lucrative bounties to take down. What’s more, the gunshot feature always triggers to provide wilds and possible bounties per win/cascade, but the max win is reduced to 50,000x unless you’re willing to pay extra for the Hunter Side Bet.

6 in the Chamber Slot Features

The Hunter Side Bet rises the RTP to 96.21 %, and keeping it on will cost you 50 % more per spin. The benefit is increased bounty values, and you can also trigger the Hunter Free Games feature organically in Hunter Mode (more about this below). The premium symbols pay between 2.5 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the sheriff badge Wild symbol steps in for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve wins.

Winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic, and new and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps. Each cascade has a chance of triggering the gun seen down to the left, and it will fire at the row above the main grid. The first 2 shots add Ricochet Wilds to the grid, while the 4 shots after that can hit and award Bounty Prizes. The Bounty Prizes can change per spin/cascade.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3+ scatters in view, and you get 2 options when you play with the Hunter Mode Side Bet switched off. Ricochet Wilds are guaranteed in the bonus round, coming from the first and second cascades, and larger Bounty Prizes are available in the bonus round (this includes Large and X-Large prizes, and these require 2 shots to be won):

• Rookie Free Games (6 out of 10 volatility) - awards 6-10 free spins with a max bounty of 20,000x your stake.
• Elite Free Games (7 out of 10 volatility) - awards 8+ free spins with a max bounty of 50,000x your stake. Dead spins increase bounties.

The Hunter Mode Bonus Round triggers when you land 3, 4, or 5 scatters in view, and this awards 6, 8, or 10 free spins, respectively. As mentioned, you need to play with the Hunter Mode Side Bet active to be able to trigger this top-tier bonus round organically. It comes with the possibility of Bounty Prizes up to 100,000x your stake, and the volatility is 10 out of 10.

The Ricochet Wilds can land on scatter symbols, and this turns the symbol into a wild/scatter symbol serving double duty. If the Ricochet Wild lands on a symbol that’s already wild, adjacent symbols are also turned wild on all sides (below, above, left, and right).

The Bonus Buy feature is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. It comes with 3 options as follows:

• Pay 65x your stake for 6-10 Rookie Free Spins.
• Pay 80x your stake for 8+ Elite Free Spins.
• Pay 150x your stake for 10 Hunter Free Spins.

The Feature Exchange allows eligible players to exchange a win of at least 100x the stake to be gambled on a Special Super Free Games extra. This is a special free games feature that guarantees the top-tier Buffalo Bill Bounty from the start, and you can choose between Rookie, Elite, and Hunter mode.

Review Summary

Well, it’s certainly refreshing to see a Wild West debut release that’s hard-boiled enough to threaten the alpha gunslingers in the genre. 6 in the Chamber comes with an original futuristic theme that confused us a bit at first, as we’re not used to seeing laser sights in this genre. The gun that fires per cascade (at random times in the base game) to award not only wilds, but also possibly solid bounty prizes, is an innovative touch that really makes this game stick out.

Lucksome has done a great job with the visual presentation overall, and the Morricone-inspired soundtrack is a feast for the ears as well. Hunter Mode is not really a must either, as you can win solid prizes from the 2 lower-tier bonus rounds as well. The game allows you to keep track of the bounty prizes you’ve taken down, which is fun, but the bonus buy price tags do reveal the somewhat low average wins you can expect from the features. Low compared to NoLimit City games at least, but it’s hard to complain about a max win of 50,000x or 100,000x your stake (the latter is only available in Hunter Mode).
