Three Bullets anywhere on the 3x3 grid load a cartridge and fire at the paytable, and on spin 23 that shot hit Oranges for 10x the stake. Past the raffle, Win Shooter is five lines of fruit, a card gamble and a risk ladder, with Sevens at 200x that I never saw line up in 340 spins.
Once more gamers are placed in a traditional fruit theme while they spin reels for rewards, so let's boot up the slot and observe what it can manage. Duck Shooter and Fancy Fruits are two other Gamomat games.
The Lemons and Cherries low pay symbols stand beside Plums and Oranges. Lemons and Cherries each return 4x the stake for three on a line, while Plums and Oranges each return 10x.
The higher pay symbols are staples of the category such as Bars, Bells, Stars, and Sevens, and all symbols pay out when three of a kind drop on a payline. Bells pay 50x the stake for three on a line and Bars pay 20x. Sevens is the most lucrative symbol at 200 times the stake for three of a kind, and the Bullet is the game's scatter. There are no wild symbols on the reels.
Stakes can be set from 0.05 up to 100 to spin the slot's 3x3 grid across 5 paylines. The review session was played at a stake of 10 credits across those 5 lines. RTP is set at 96.06% and has been paired with low volatility, and so far it seems like any other traditional fruit slot. Over 340 spins the session won back 3,220 credits against 3,400 wagered, a return of 94.7%. However, Gamomat has included a few extras on top.
One of the additional extras is the Card Gamble. It can show up after a win, and when it does, you pick red or black. A correct pick doubles the win while an incorrect one forfeits it. A win that survives a correct pick can be gambled again. Another addition is the Risk Ladder, and when this one shows up, you halt the travelling light on the ladder. The win can be collected from the ladder at any point. A higher rung boosts the win and zero forfeits it.
The Bullet scatter symbol can show up anywhere, so hit 3 of them to activate the Paytable Raffle. Three Bullets landed once in the session, on spin 23, and the raffle drew Oranges for 100 credits. During this round, the cartridge chamber loads and a shot is launched at the paytable. The game has no free spins round. It strikes one reward at random valued 4x to 200x the stake. The spin 23 raffle win lifted the balance to 5,090, the highest point of the session.
Any 3-reel fruit styled slot faces the danger of sinking in an ocean of comparable slots, and Gamomat has attempted to escape blandness by adjusting the additions. The adjustments that Gamomat has brought in are understated but rescue Win Shooter from being an outright copy. That's not to claim that Win Shooter has transformed the category in any manner.
Gamomat grants the slot a max win as well, and the slot is able of wins of up to 500 times the stake. The biggest win of the session was 200 credits, 20x the stake, from three Bars on spin 148. What might annoy players though is the slot's volatility and symbol values. With its low level, wins drop on only roughly one spin in six. In the session 54 of 340 spins paid, and none of them paid less than the stake. And they lean to be on the small side. The longest run without a win lasted 23 spins and ended on spin 199. Symbols provide decent value - but only if Sevens or Stars drop. Three Stars on a line pay 100x the stake. Anything smaller and the values fall off sharply, and after 340 spins three Sevens never dropped at all. Stars did not land three of a kind on a line in the session either.
Minty Slots Verdict: Win Shooter is more apt to attract the relaxed crowd, and those seeking a volatile slot will find it lacking. Across the session the balance went from 5,000 to 4,820, with a low point of 4,710. As it stands, it's fairly amusing, and what Gamomat has achieved with the additional extras is engaging; however, dedicated gamers will be turned off by its weak math model and win mechanic.
