Bullets and Bounty introduces Hacksaw Gaming's DuelReels system, a revolutionary mechanic where VS symbols expand to cover entire reels and trigger standoff sequences. When a VS symbol lands, it transforms into either an Outlaw DuelReel or Bounty DuelReel, displaying a duel between characters with multipliers ranging from 2x up to 100x.
The critical distinction lies in multiplier application: Outlaw DuelReel multipliers add together when multiple appear in a winning combination, whilst Bounty DuelReels provide progressive multipliers that increase throughout free spin features. This creates strategic depth rarely seen in medium volatility slots.
With 19 fixed paylines across the 5x3 grid, wins form from left to right. The mathematical model achieves 96.27% RTP in base game, with slight variations across bonus buy options ranging from 96.24% to 96.36%, demonstrating exceptional balance across all game modes.
When a green VS symbol lands, the entire reel transforms into an Outlaw DuelReel showing a dramatic standoff. The surviving character reveals a multiplier between 2x and 100x. Multiple Outlaw DuelReels in a single winning combination add their multipliers together, creating explosive win potential.
Orange Bounty VS symbols trigger Bounty DuelReels featuring the protagonist Katherine 'Quick Draw Kate' O'Callaghan. These special reels apply progressive multipliers during free spin features, with multipliers persisting and increasing throughout the bonus round. Only one VS or Bounty VS can appear per reel.
Landing 3 FS scatter symbols triggers True Grit, presenting a choice: take 10 free spins with Progressive Bounty Hunter Multipliers, or gamble on a six-chamber revolver. The revolver offers chambers 1-2 awarding Four Shots to Freedom bonus, chamber 3-4 giving 5x bet, chamber 5 paying 10x, and chamber 6 delivering 20x bet.
Activated by 4 FS scatters or winning the revolver gamble, this mode grants 10 free spins with the Bullets & Bounty Bar mechanic. Collecting Bounty Hunter symbols fills the bar through 4 levels, each awarding 3 extra spins plus a guaranteed DuelSpin with increasing numbers of VS symbols (2 to 5 depending on level).
The hidden epic bonus triggers when 5 FS scatter symbols land simultaneously. This ultra-rare feature awards 10 free spins starting at DuelSpin Level 1 with Progressive Bounty Hunter Multipliers active from the first spin. The combination of guaranteed VS symbols and progressive multipliers creates the path to the 20,000x maximum win.
Each spin becomes 5 times more likely to trigger any bonus game, effectively accelerating bonus frequency without changing core mechanics.

The 2/5 volatility rating positions Bullets and Bounty as a medium variance slot, meaning balanced hit frequency with moderate win sizes. Base game pays regularly through the 19 paylines, with card suit symbols hitting frequently at lower values whilst themed symbols deliver substantial wins.
DuelReel mechanics fundamentally alter standard slot mathematics. A single Outlaw DuelReel with 100x multiplier on a Sheriff Badge five-of-a-kind (1.00x base) transforms into 100x bet win. Stack multiple DuelReels with additive multipliers, and the 20,000x maximum becomes achievable.
Bonus buy strategy varies by bankroll and risk tolerance. BonusHunt FeatureSpins at 0.15x bet offers affordable bonus hunting. Bad Blood FeatureSpins at 3x bet provides guaranteed DuelReel action with highest RTP at 96.36%. Four Shots to Freedom at 10x bet targets the complete bonus experience with progressive mechanics.
The hidden epic bonus "Go Ahead, Make Her Day" represents the ultimate goal. Five scatter symbols landing simultaneously is exceptionally rare, but the 10 free spins starting at DuelSpin Level 1 with progressive multipliers creates the mathematical pathway to maximum wins.
Bullets and Bounty is a game of chance with 96.27% RTP, meaning the house edge is 3.73%. Set deposit limits, never chase losses, and treat slot gaming as entertainment rather than income generation.
