Theme & presentation Bullets and Bounty

Bullets and bounty by hacksaw gaming

Expect Hacksaw’s signature grit: smoky skies, embers in the wind, and a moody frontier town. The premium symbols (badges, hats, pistols, skulls, wagon wheels) ride alongside card-suit lows, while Quick Draw Kate lurks over the action like a legend. It’s a darker Western aesthetic — closer to a spaghetti western fever dream than a tourist brochure.

How it plays: features explained

DuelReels™: VS vs. Bounty VS

Any VS or Bounty VS symbol can expand into a full-reel DuelReel if doing so will create a win. An expanded DuelReel turns wild and triggers a duel. With a standard VS, the winning outlaw’s multiplier (from x2 up to x100) applies to all wins connected to that reel, and multiple DuelReels combine their multipliers first. With Bounty VS, a Bounty Hunter duels an Outlaw and, if she wins, she collects the Outlaw’s multiplier and fights again — up to three duels on the same reel — then applies the combined multiplier.

Bonus game: True Grit (3 scatters)

Land 3 FS scatters for 10 free spins and a one-time Bonus Gamble: take the round, or spin a revolver for one of six outcomes (including cash awards or a shortcut to Four Shots to Freedom). Inside True Grit, the Progressive Bounty Hunter Multiplier means the latest winning Bounty Hunter multiplier becomes the starting multiplier for the next Bounty duel. Extra spins: +2 for 2 scatters, +4 for 3 scatters in the bonus.

Bonus game: Four Shots to Freedom (4 scatters)

Free spins

10 free spins with a Bullets & Bounty Bar beside the grid; only Bounty VS symbols appear in regular free spins here. Each Bounty Hunter win pushes the bar up through four levels, awarding +3 spins plus a DuelSpin with a guaranteed minimum number of VS symbols (Level 1: at least 2 VS; Level 2: 3 VS; Level 3: 4 VS; Level 4: 5 VS). DuelSpins fire immediately and don’t consume your free-spin counter.

Hidden Epic: Go Ahead, Make Her Day (5 scatters)

The Hidden Epic starts at Four Shots to Freedom’s Level 1 and also uses progressive Bounty multipliers. It’s not available from the Feature Buy menu — you’ve got to land it.

Pros & cons

DuelReels™ depth: layered VS vs. Bounty VS battles keep the math lively, especially with multi-duel Bounty reels.
Three bonus paths plus a Hidden Epic; clear progression and guaranteed DuelSpins at higher levels.
Feature Buys cover both bonus entries and boosted spin modes.
20,000× cap reachable across all modes — not locked behind one feature.
Volatility perception varies: listed as low on one sheet but “feels” punchier in practice; expect swings.
Configurable RTP: some casinos deploy lower profiles — always check the in-game info.
Buy costs (esp. 200× for Four Shots) won’t suit all budgets.

Who will like Bullets and Bounty?

If you enjoy Hacksaw’s moody Westerns (think multipliers and duel tension) and want agency via Feature Buys, this is your kind of showdown. If you prefer breezy, low-risk fruiters, Kate’s town might feel a little too dusty and dangerous.
