It’s actually quite a comical and wonderful theme that runs through this slot, and the special features within start with two wild icons! The first of them is the icon of Armadillo Artie himself. Joining him as the additional wild is that of the spiky cactus. Both of these will act as a stand in for all other icons on the reels in order to form a winning combination. The exclusion to this across both wilds is the game’s bonus icon. Furthermore, each wild is not able to substitute for the other. Artie can only show up on reel five, while the cactus comes into play solely on reel three. If both of them appear on the same row,
an expanding wild feature begins. This is known as the Wild Shapes round. The cactus will grow outwards for it, turning other icons in the game into wilds. Therefore, your winning chances receive a strong boost!
Further to this, there’s a bonus icon which comes in the shape of a sheriff’s badge. This one needs to show on reels two, three and four in any location in order to trigger the bonus feature. In this, Artie will select one of the four random bonus rounds when you click the ‘Start’ button. The first of these is the ‘Sling Shot’ game. In this, you receive three attempts on the sling shot. A random prize is given to you for every shot you fire. The Snake Shoot Out is next. There, you will see 12 badges, each of which award a random amount up to 20 times your total bet. You get to choose three of these.
Cosmic Bowling is another round that Artie can select for you. Simply opt whether to go right, left or down the middle of the bowling lane. You have three attempts at knocking down pins, with up to a 10 times multiplier being awarded. Finally, Pinball can be chosen by Artie. Credits can randomly be won while playing a game of pinball.
