Key Game Features

DuelReels™ Mechanic

Wanted Dead or a Wild introduces the innovative DuelReels™ mechanic, triggered by landing special VS symbols. When these symbols appear, they expand to cover the entire reel if doing so results in a win. Expanded reels display two dueling outlaws, each armed with a random multiplier ranging from 2x to 100x. The winning outlaw's multiplier is applied to all winning combinations that pass through that reel. If multiple DuelReels™ contribute to the same winning combination, multipliers combine, significantly enhancing payouts.

The Great Train Robbery Bonus Game

Activated by landing three or more Train Robbery symbols, this bonus feature grants 10 free spins featuring sticky wilds. Throughout these spins, every wild symbol remains fixed in place, vastly increasing opportunities for large cumulative wins.

Duel at Dawn Bonus Game

This feature is triggered when three or more Duel symbols appear. Players receive 10 free spins, with an increased frequency of VS symbols, enhancing the probability of achieving expanded wild reels and massive multipliers. This scenario provides optimal conditions for reaching the game’s maximum potential win of 12,500x your bet.

Dead Man’s Hand Bonus Game

Triggered by landing three or more Dead symbols, this unique two-phase bonus feature starts with a collection phase. Players gather wild symbols and multipliers, each collection resetting the remaining spins to three. Once three consecutive spins yield no new symbols, the game transitions into the "Showdown" phase. Here, collected wilds are randomly placed on the grid for three spins, multiplying wins by the total accumulated multiplier.

Bonus Buy Option

For players who prefer instant action, the bonus buy feature allows immediate access to any of the three bonus games, bypassing the base game.
