BULLETS & BOUNTY

Bullets and Bounty introduces Outlaw DuelReels and Bounty DuelReels, a unique expanding reel system triggered by VS and Bounty VS symbols. When these symbols land, they expand to cover the entire reel and display a dramatic duel between Quick Draw Kate and various outlaws. The surviving character determines your multiplier, ranging from 2x to 100x. This is not a standard wild expansion - the multiplier values are randomly assigned before each duel, creating genuine tension with every trigger.

The critical detail: when multiple Outlaw DuelReels appear in a winning combination, their multipliers add together rather than multiply. Landing three reels with 10x, 15x, and 25x multipliers gives you 50x total on that win. Bounty DuelReels function identically but are triggered by the orange Bounty VS symbol instead of the green VS symbol.

The Progressive Bounty Hunter Multipliers deserve special attention. Unlike static multipliers, these increase with each Bounty DuelReel that appears during free spins. Start at 1x and watch it climb throughout the feature. Combined with multiple DuelReels on a single spin, this creates the mathematical pathway to massive wins.

Hacksaw Gaming provides five distinct purchase options, each with different volatility profiles and RTP variations. BonusHunt FeatureSpins costs 0.15x your bet and makes bonus triggers 5 times more likely - this is the lowest risk entry point. Bad Blood FeatureSpins at 3x bet guarantees at least 2 VS symbols every spin, offering consistent action at medium volatility.

Draw or Die FeatureSpins (3x bet, high volatility) guarantees at least one Bounty VS per spin, directly targeting the progressive multiplier system. Direct bonus purchases include True Grit at 3.5x bet (96.26% RTP) and Four Shots to Freedom at 10x bet (96.30% RTP). The RTP actually increases slightly when buying Four Shots directly, making it mathematically preferable to waiting for natural triggers if you are targeting that specific feature.

The 19 paylines run left to right across the 5x3 grid in various patterns: straight horizontal lines, V-shapes, inverted V-shapes, zigzags, diamonds, and step patterns. Wins require matching symbols on consecutive reels starting from reel 1. The paytable values are modest by design - the real win potential comes from DuelReel multipliers stacking on top of symbol combinations.

The base game operates at 96.27% RTP with 2 out of 5 volatility rating - this is medium-low variance territory. Expect relatively frequent small wins with occasional larger hits from DuelReel multipliers. The volatility rating is somewhat deceptive because the bonus features, particularly the hidden epic bonus, carry significantly higher variance than the base game suggests.

Feature buy RTP values reveal strategic insights: Bad Blood FeatureSpins delivers 96.36% RTP, the highest return option available. BonusHunt FeatureSpins with always-gamble strategy reaches 96.33% RTP. Draw or Die FeatureSpins sits at 96.29% RTP despite higher volatility. These variations are minor but demonstrate Hacksaw's mathematical precision in balancing risk versus reward across purchase options.

The 20,000x maximum win is achievable through the hidden epic bonus with perfect DuelReel multiplier combinations and progressive multiplier growth. This requires multiple high-value multipliers (50x-100x range) appearing simultaneously on winning combinations while progressive multipliers have climbed significantly. The 2/5 volatility rating applies to base game frequency, not maximum potential - treat the bonus features as high variance events.

Understanding the DuelReel multiplier addition mechanic is crucial. A winning combination across three DuelReels with 10x, 20x, and 25x multipliers delivers 55x total, not 5,000x (which would be multiplication). This addition system means you need either extremely high individual multipliers or multiple medium multipliers combining on valuable symbol wins.

The gamble feature in True Grit presents interesting mathematics. Two chambers (33.3% chance) award the premium Four Shots bonus worth 10x your triggering bet. Three chambers (50% combined) award cash prizes of 5x, 10x, or 20x. One chamber (16.7%) awards nothing. The expected value favours gambling if you are specifically targeting Four Shots to Freedom, but taking the guaranteed 10 free spins with progressive multipliers offers lower variance.

Bet limits range from 0.10 to 50.00 EUR in the base game, but feature buys can exceed the maximum bet limit. This means you can purchase Four Shots to Freedom for 500 EUR even though standard spins cap at 50 EUR. This flexibility allows high rollers to target premium features directly without grinding through base game spins at maximum bet.
