Quick Stats is a medium volatility Wild West pokie, played on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 50 fixed paylines, an RTP of 95.14%, and a maximum win of 2,000x your stake. The game centres on a wanted-man chase — Gringo has the loot, and it's your job to track him down through Free Spins (up to 25 rounds) and a pick-em Find Gringo Bonus that stacks multipliers during the feature. One note on attribution: the source page credits 888 Gaming as developer, but multiple independent databases list the game under Sigma Gaming and Section 8 Studio. The RTP of 95.14% and core specs are consistently confirmed across all sources regardless of which studio built it.

The key RTP distribution detail: Paylines42% of the 96.29% is allocated to the free spins feature50 Fixed (confirmed by BigWinBoard and LCB.org). This means roughly 55.6% of total RTP comes from base-game payline wins, scatter pays, and Baba Yaga, while 40.6% comes from the free spins feature. In practical terms: sessions where the free spins never trigger, or where they trigger but don’t progress above Chest level, return significantly below the headline 96.29%.Min Bet

Volatility is Max Bethigh$250.00. BigWinBoard specifically notes “be prepared for most free spin rounds to end in quite low wins as this is a high variance slot.” The path to the large payouts requires advancing through multiple levels during free spins — which requires Progress Scatters to appear, which is not guaranteed.Max Win

At $0.20 minimum, a $20 session covers 100 spins. High volatility on 20 paylines means those 100 spins can include extended dry stretches between Baba Yaga events and free spins triggers.Features

The 40,000× theoretical maximum scales with stake: at $100, the theoretical ceiling is $4,000,000. At $0.20, it’s $8,000. BigWinBoard notes this theoretical ceiling has never been recorded in 500 billion test rounds; the actual recorded maximum was ~10,200×. At $100, 10,200× = $1,020,000. At $0.20, it’s $2,040.

What Is Gringos Dineros?

Autoplay is available.

Gringos Dineros is a Wild West-themed video pokie set in a dusty frontier town, complete with denim-patterned reels, sun-bleached rock formations, and a whistling spaghetti-western soundtrack. The story is simple: a criminal known as Gringo has made off with the cash, and the Sheriff, cowboys, and cowgirls are in pursuit. That chase sets up both the base game and the bonus features.

How to Play Ivan and the Immortal King — Step by Step

The 5×3 grid with 50 fixed paylines is straightforward by modern standards. Most symbols pay left to right on consecutive reels; the Money Bag scatter is the exception and pays anywhere. The Lucky Coin Wild substitutes for all symbols except the three special ones, and the core session rhythm is: spin, watch for Wilds to build combinations, and wait for the Money Bag scatter to trigger Free Spins. The Find Gringo Bonus only activates during the Free Spins feature — it doesn’t fire in the base game.
  1. Set your bet.This is a no-frills, beginner-accessible pokie. If you want layered mechanics, cascading reels, or expanding features, look elsewhere. If you want a themed, easy-to-follow Wild West session with a pick-em bonus, Gringos Dineros delivers that cleanly. Choose between $0.20 and $100.00. All 20 paylines are fixed.
  2. Open the paytable.<

  4. Press spin. Left-to-right combinations on 20 paylines. All symbols appear stacked, meaning full-reel matches are possible. The Wild substitutes for all symbols except scatters.
  5. Baba Yaga Surprise (base game).<

During the Free Spins feature only, landing a Cowgirl symbol on reel 1 and a Saloon symbol on reel 5 simultaneously activates the Find Gringo Bonus. The game cuts to a saloon interior populated by a group of civilians. You pick them one by one to reveal multipliers, which are added together on the Total Multiplier meter. Each revealed multiplier contributes to your c these during her free spins appearances.umulative total. The feature ends the moment you pick the civilian who turns out to be Gringo himself — at that point, the accumulated multiplier total is applied to your win. There’s no way to control how many picks you get; the Gringo can appear on your first pick or your last.

Watch for:The multiplier reward is applied to the line bet rather than the total bet. That distinction matters: at $2.50 total stake across 50 lines, your per-line bet is $0.05. A 20x multiplier from the Find Gringo Bonus produces $1.00, not $50. Factor that in when evaluating the bonus’s actual cash ceiling. Stacked Koschei or Ivan symbols appearing on reels 2 and 3 simultaneously in the base game. Because symbols stack across all three rows, two reels showing the same premium symbol already provides 6 matching positions — the remaining three reels need just one of the same symbol on any row to complete a five-of-a-kind across all 20 paylines. This compounding of stacked symbols is the primary source of the base game’s large payline wins.

Is Gringos Dineros Worth Playing?

Bonus Features

Pros:

Baba Yaga Surprise

Trigger:50 fixed paylines on a 5×3 grid means wins form frequently in the base game — sessions rarely feel completely empty between bonuses Random on any spin in base game or free spins. Fires more frequently during free spins.

Free Spins retrigger is available, which meaningfully extends the bonus’s ceiling beyond the initial 10–25 rounds

When Baba Yaga appears, she hides 4 random adjacentFind Gringo pick-em bonus adds genuine interactivity during the feature — it’s not just passive free spinning symbols on the grid, then reveals one of two outcomes:

Clean Wild West theme with well-executed presentation; the denim reels and whistling soundtrack hold together well

Option A — Scatter placement (1–3 symbols become scatters):

$0.50 minimum stake and straightforward mechanics make it very accessible for new players
  • In base game: 1–3 of the hidden symbols become Bonus Scatters (contributing to a potential 3-scatter free spins trigger on the current spin)
  • Cons:
  • In free spins: 1–3 become Progress Scatters (contributing to the level advancement counter of 3)
RTP of 95.14% is below the industry average — not dramatically, but enough to matter over regular play

Option B — Guaranteed win (all 4 become the same symbol):

Find Gringo multipliers apply to the per-line bet, not the total stake — the cash value of accumulated multipliers is much lower than it first appears
  • All 4 hidden symbols are replaced by one randomly-chosen paying symbolNo multiplier on Free Spins payouts (outside Find Gringo) limits the bonus’s overall ceiling
  • This guarantees a win since 4 identical symbols appear adjacent, likely forming multiple payline combinations2,000x max win is modest and caps upside significantly compared to modern titles
Developer attribution is inconsistent across sources (888 Gaming, Sigma Gaming, Section 8 Studio) — a minor concern but suggests the game’s provenance may be more complex than the page implies

The guaranteed win option can deliver anything from a low-gem win to a premium symbol cluster. The scatter placement option is the high-value path — particularly during free spins where placing 3 Progress Scatters from a single Baba Yaga visit advances you a full level immediately.

Free Spins with Six-Level Multiplier Progression

Trigger:Bottom line: 3, 4, or 5 Bonus Scatters anywhere on the reels simultaneously. Gringos Dineros is a well-executed, easy-to-enjoy Wild West pokie that does the basics reliably. The 50-payline base game keeps sessions active, and the Find Gringo pick-em bonus adds a fun interactive layer inside the Free Spins feature. The 95.14% RTP is the honest drawback — it’s not cripplingly low, but if you’re used to 96%+ games, you’re paying a bit more for the privilege. Worth a demo session; probably not a game to grind long-term.

The six-level story progression is the game’s defining feature:Responsible Gambling

Advancing levels requires 3 Progress Scatters to appear during free spins. Each level advancement adds 4 more spins and increases the multiplier to the next tier.

The multiplier applies to all payline wins during free spins. A Koschei five-of-a-kind normally worth 50× your bet becomes 50× × 20 = 1,000× your bet at maximum multiplier. Ivan/Wild five-of-a-kind at 100× × 20 = 2,000× your bet on a single payline.

Key note from BigWinBoard: “Approximately 42% of the RTP is allocated to the free spin feature.” Sessions where the free spins don’t trigger, or trigger at low multiplier levels without progression, return significantly below the headline RTP.

Design and Theme

Ivan and the Immortal King is one of Quickspin’s more visually ambitious titles. The enchanted Russian forest backdrop is detailed and atmospheric — ancient trees, soft magical light, and a palette that shifts between the warm amber of a fairy-tale setting and the cold blue of Koschei’s domain. The symbol art is high-quality character illustration: Ivan as a handsome young hero, Koschei bearing a passing resemblance (noted by BigWinBoard) to the Night King from Game of Thrones, Baba Yaga rendered as a wizened but characterful witch on a premium broom.

The progression ladder beside the reels — with its nested objects from chest to Immortal King — is a functional UI element that doubles as a visual map of the story. Watching the ladder animate as you advance levels during free spins is the game’s most satisfying moment.

The soundtrack is appropriate to the mythological setting — atmospheric orchestral underscoring that builds during the feature. Mobile performance is confirmed as strong, with the 5×3 grid and sidebar progression element scaling cleanly to tablet and smartphone screens.

  • Released in 2018 — the mechanics feel more dated compared to post-2020 Quickspin releases with more complex bonus architectures
