Bullets and Bounty delivers Hacksaw Gaming's signature high-volatility mechanics wrapped in a dusty Wild West showdown. The 5x3 grid with 19 paylines serves as the battleground where Katherine 'Quick Draw Kate' O'Callaghan faces off against the most wanted outlaws across the frontier.
The core innovation lies in the DuelReels™ system. When a VS symbol lands, the entire reel transforms into an expanding duel scene where multipliers from 2x up to 100x are determined by who survives the standoff. Land multiple Outlaw DuelReels in a winning combination and their multipliers stack additively. A three-reel duel with 10x, 15x, and 25x multipliers delivers a combined 50x boost to your winline win.
The Bounty VS variant operates identically but triggers Progressive Bounty Hunter Multipliers during free spins modes. Each surviving bounty hunter increases the global multiplier that applies to all subsequent wins in that bonus round. Start at 1x and watch it climb with every duel Kate wins.
Three distinct bonus triggers create strategic depth. Landing 3 FS scatters activates True Grit, offering a choice: take 10 guaranteed free spins with progressive multipliers, or spin the six-chamber revolver gamble. Two chambers award the premium Four Shots to Freedom bonus, two pay 5x your bet, one pays 10x, and the final chamber delivers 20x. The gamble RTP of 96.26% matches the safe choice, making risk tolerance the deciding factor.
Four Shots to Freedom (triggered by 4 FS scatters or winning the gamble) introduces the Bullets & Bounty Bar. This meter outside the grid fills as bounty hunter symbols land during your 10 free spins. Collect two hunters to trigger a DuelSpin with minimum 2 VS symbols guaranteed. Reach level four by collecting five hunters and your DuelSpin guarantees all five reels transform into duels simultaneously. Each level also awards 3 additional spins, extending the bonus significantly.
The hidden Go Ahead, Make Her Day epic bonus requires 5 FS scatters. You receive 10 free spins starting immediately at DuelSpin Level 1 with progressive multipliers active from spin one. This is where the 20,000x maximum win potential becomes achievable through stacked DuelReels with 100x multipliers hitting on multiple paylines.
VS symbols expand to full reels showing shootout animations. Multipliers from 2x to 100x apply to wins. Multiple Outlaw DuelReels in one payline add their multipliers together for massive boosts.
Bounty VS symbols trigger identical duel mechanics but with progressive multipliers during bonus rounds. Each Kate victory increases the persistent multiplier for all remaining spins.
3 FS scatters give you a choice: 10 free spins with progressive multipliers or gamble on the revolver for Four Shots to Freedom, 5x, 10x, or 20x instant prizes.
4 FS scatters award 10 spins with the Bullets & Bounty Bar. Collect bounty hunters to trigger DuelSpins with guaranteed VS symbols. Level 4 transforms all 5 reels into duels.
The hidden epic bonus from 5 FS scatters. Starts at DuelSpin Level 1 immediately with progressive multipliers active. Maximum win potential of 20,000x your bet.

Volatility Assessment: Despite the 2/5 star rating, the max win of 20,000x indicates substantial variance in bonus rounds. Base game volatility is genuinely medium with frequent small wins from the 19 paylines and low-paying card suits. The exponential potential emerges when multiple DuelReels land with high multipliers during free spins with progressive multipliers active.
Optimal Strategy: The gamble feature in True Grit offers 33% chance at the premium bonus versus taking guaranteed free spins. With identical RTP, aggressive players should gamble every time for maximum volatility. Conservative players benefit from the steady progressive multiplier accumulation in the standard free spins.
Feature Buy Value: Bad Blood FeatureSpins at 30x bet guarantees minimum 2 VS symbols per spin, offering the highest RTP among purchases at 96.36%. This represents better mathematical value than the 100x cost of Four Shots to Freedom, though the latter has superior maximum win potential through the DuelSpin levels.
Bullets and Bounty is a game of chance with a house edge. The 96.27% RTP means long-term expected return is 96.27 units per 100 wagered. Set deposit limits, never chase losses, and only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Malfunction voids all pays and plays.
