The Showdown Begins
Bullets and Bounty delivers a stone-cold Wild West experience where Katherine 'Quick Draw Kate' O'Callaghan hunts down outlaws across dusty desert reels. Hacksaw Gaming has crafted a slot that abandons generic Western clichés for genuine gunslinger mechanics. The 5x3 grid with 19 paylines becomes a battlefield where DuelReels™ technology transforms ordinary spins into high-stakes standoffs.
When a VS or Bounty VS symbol lands, the entire reel erupts into a duel. The surviving character's multiplier applies to your wins, ranging from 2x up to a devastating 100x multiplier. Multiple Outlaw DuelReels in a winning combination add their multipliers together, creating explosive payout potential. This is not a cosmetic feature but a core mechanic that fundamentally changes how wins accumulate.
Three Paths to Fortune
True Grit Bonus
Triggered by 3 FS scatter symbols, this bonus presents a genuine gambler's choice. Take 10 free spins with Progressive Bounty Hunter Multipliers, or spin the revolver chamber for higher stakes:
- Chambers 1-2: Unlock Four Shots to Freedom bonus
- Chambers 3-4: Win 5x your bet immediately
- Chamber 5: Collect 10x cash prize
- Chamber 6: Bag 20x instant reward
The gamble option carries real risk but offers access to the premium bonus feature without needing 4 scatters.
Four Shots to Freedom
Landing 4 FS symbols or winning the revolver gamble activates 10 free spins with the Bullets & Bounty Bar mechanism. This bar sits outside the main grid, collecting bounty hunter symbols to unlock DuelSpin levels:
- Level 1: 2 hunters trigger DuelSpin with minimum 2 VS symbols plus 3 extra spins
- Level 2: 3 hunters guarantee 3 VS symbols plus 3 extra spins
- Level 3: 4 hunters deliver 4 VS symbols plus 3 extra spins
- Level 4: 5 hunters unleash all reels as DuelReels plus 3 extra spins
Each DuelSpin level dramatically increases multiplier potential as more reels transform into dueling characters.
Go Ahead, Make Her Day
The hidden epic bonus activates when 5 FS scatter symbols align. This rare trigger awards 10 free spins starting immediately at DuelSpin Level 1 with Progressive Bounty Hunter Multipliers active. The combination of guaranteed DuelSpins and climbing multipliers creates the pathway to the maximum 20,000x win potential.

Technical Specifications
Bullets and Bounty runs on Hacksaw Gaming's server version 2.0.240, certified for random number generation across all regulated markets. The 19 paylines follow standard left-to-right patterns including straight lines, V-shapes, zigzags, and diamond formations. Wins require matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from reel 1.
Minimum bet starts at €0.10 with maximum standard bet at €50.00. Feature buy options can exceed this limit, with Four Shots to Freedom potentially costing up to €5,000 at maximum bet level. The game supports keyboard shortcuts for accessibility, including SHIFT+B for bonus menu and SHIFT+S for sound toggle.
If a game round interrupts, the system automatically resumes upon return. Unfinished games void after 24 hours. All results remain viewable in game history after closing the window. The game complies with EU Directive 2019/882 accessibility requirements.
Strategic Considerations
The medium-low volatility rating of 2 out of 5 stars suggests more frequent smaller wins compared to high-volatility alternatives. However, the DuelReel multipliers and bonus features create significant variance within individual sessions. A single Level 4 DuelSpin with multiple 100x multipliers can deliver thousands of times your bet.
Base game strategy revolves around VS symbol frequency. Each reel can host only one VS or Bounty VS symbol per spin, limiting maximum DuelReel scenarios but ensuring they remain special when landing. The wild dynamite symbol substitutes for all paytable symbols, helping complete combinations that DuelReel multipliers then amplify.
Bonus selection demands consideration of risk tolerance. The True Grit gamble offers 33.3% chance at Four Shots to Freedom, 33.3% chance at 5x, 16.7% at 10x, and 16.7% at 20x. Expected value calculations show gambling provides access to the premium bonus at lower cost than direct purchase, but with failure risk.
Responsible Gaming
Bullets and Bounty is a game of chance with no guaranteed returns. The 96.27% RTP represents long-term theoretical return across millions of spins. Individual sessions will vary significantly. Set deposit limits before playing. Never chase losses. If gambling stops being entertainment, seek help at BeGambleAware.org or GamCare.org.uk.
