How Wanted Dead or a Wild works

The game is played on a 5x5 grid with 15 paylines.

DuelReels. VS symbols can land during spins. If a VS symbol forms part of a payline combination after expanding, it becomes a wild reel, which Hacksaw calls a DuelReel.

Bonus games. There are three bonus rounds:

The Great Train Robbery: wilds that land are sticky and can contribute to any number of combinations for the rest of the round.
Duel at Dawn: VS symbols are much more likely to land together, with up to five expanded DuelReels on screen.
Dead Man's Hand: a two-phase round in which wilds and multipliers are collected first and then used in a Showdown phase.

Bonus buy. A bonus buy option gives direct access to one of the bonus games.

The numbers. Hacksaw lists a maximum payout of 12,500x the bet and rates volatility 4 out of 5. The page shows four RTP versions: 96.38%, 94.55%, 92.33% and 88.42%.
