What About Bonus Features?
Wanted Dead or a Wild slot has three bonus features, plus a full reel Wild multiplier symbols. Both appearing in the base game and Duel at Dawn round, VS symbols expand to cover all positions on the reel, then turning Wild every time they land. There is a win multiplier of 2x to 100x attached to these symbols as well - the multipliers are added before being applied to any winning combination when there is more than one VS symbol on sight.
The Great Train Robbery feature is launched when 3 or more Train Robbery symbols appear together in the base game, awarding 10 free spins. During free spins, every Wild that lands become sticky.
Three or more Duel symbols falling simultaneously on reels activate the Duel at Dawn. This feature also comes with 10 free spins, plus a chance of VS symbols landing more frequently.
Dead Man's Hand bonus is triggered when 3 or more DEAD symbols land. To make things even more interesting, this round is split into two parts.
Three spins are awarded in the first phase, but here only Wilds, multiplier symbols or placeholder images are allowed to land. Wilds and multipliers are collected upon appearing, which also resets the number of free spins back to three.
The second part of the feature starts when three consecutive non-winning spins occur. The gameplay shifts to Showdown, where 3 free spins are awarded. The collected Wilds are added to the grid on each spin, while the multiplier is applied to any wins.
Via Buy Bonus option, all three bonus rounds can be purchased for the following cost:
- The Great Train Robbery - 80x the bet
- Duel at Dawn - 200x the stake
- Dead Man's Hand - 400x the bet
