Chase bandits and big wins in Wanted: Unusual Suspects™
Northern Lights Gaming launches latest title in its Unusual Suspect series with players taken to the Wild West for a gun-slinging showdown with the baddest baddies around
Step into the dusty streets of the Old West where lawlessness reigns and the hunt for Wanted Unusual Suspects™ begins.
The latest slot of the same name from Northern Lights Gaming, an exclusive Games Global studio, is the next in the developer’s Unusual Suspects franchise and sees players assume the role of the fearless sheriff who must uphold justice and bring the notorious outlaws to heel.
With each spin, players hunt down the bandits and get closer to the bounty they have stolen. This takes the form of Gold Coins that leave behind Sticky Wild Frames once the Sheriff symbol, which is Wild, has landed to collect the stolen money (Gold Coins) and take it back to the back.
Apprehended outlaws find themselves in jail where they line up for the Perk Pick which allows players to modify Free Spins. Free Spins are triggered when three, four or five Scatters drop – players are first taken to the jail where five suspects are lined up in front of them.
Players must then pick a suspect, with each revealing a different Free Spins Upgrade Perk. If they have filled the Perk Pick Meter in the base game, the suitcase becomes active and an extra Perk is awarded.
The Free Games then play out. Sticky Frames remain sticky for the duration while every Sheriff symbol that lands moves one position up the feature upgrade trail. When each outlaw is captured, the player receives a Multiplier and more Spins.
Of course, all Perks from the mini-game are active throughout Free Spins.
But that’s just the start of the gun-slinging bonus action…
Exploding Wilds trigger randomly when Outlaw symbols land. As the name suggests, they explode to populate the reels with multiple Wilds for even more win potential.
If players don’t want to spend too much time on the trail of the bandits, they have the option to Buy the Bonus with the option to purchase Free Spins or enhanced Super Free Spins.
Andrew Goodale CEO at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Wanted: Unusual Suspects™ is the latest title in our hugely popular Unusual Suspects franchise. This time, players find themselves in the Wild West where they must join the Sheriff as he hunts down outlaws and reclaim the bounties they have stolen.
“For those that can hold their nerve, ride strong and shoot straight, there are plenty of rewards up for grabs, helped of course by the game’s bonus features including Coins, Sticky Wild Frames, Multipliers and Free Spins.
“Wanted: Unusual Suspects™ is an action-packed slot and will appeal to fans of the series as well as those who love nothing more than spinning the wheels on a Western-themed game.”

As part of the refresh, Playson has renamed several campaign features. Cash Blast is now Power Blast, Tournaments have been renamed Grand Races, and Short Races are now Turbo Races. Playson said the underlying mechanics and integration approach remain unchanged.
Waldemar Antypov, Product Owner at Playson, said: “BLASTS & RACES represents a significant milestone in the evolution of our flagship network campaign, and we are delighted to officially launch it to operators and players around the world.
“Following the outstanding success of previous editions, we have increased the rewards budget from €10 million to €25 million to deliver even greater value across the network.
