Wanted Dead or a Wild

Features

How does it play

Wanted Dead or a Wild is a 5 by 5 slot featuring 15 paylines following a cowboy theme. The slot has plenty of features on offer with the possibility of landing 3 different types of free spins bonus. Each bonus has its own unique style and features so you will love landing any of the 3 and trying them out for a big win.

In the base game and the Duel at Dawn bonus game you have the possibility of landing the infamous VS symbol in the DuelReels feature. This can land on any of the 5 reels and more than 1 can land at a time in a single spin. If you are lucky enough to land all 5 in a spin you will really be looking at a huge balance boosting win.

You can play the game by spinning with the button or using your spacebar. Dead or a Wild features both turbo and super turbo spins as well as a fully featured autoplay menu giving you a real cowboy’s chance of quickly landing one of the bonus features.

Great Train Robbery Bonus Feature

To trigger the Great Train Robbery Bonus you need to land 3 of the Great Train Robbery scatter symbols as shown below. This will give you access to a free spin sticky wilds bonus.

In the bonus you are given 10 free spins and every time you land a wild symbol it will stay in place for the remaining spins of the bonus. Your goal to win big in the Great Train Robbery bonus is to try to fill up a payline with wilds as quickly as possible. A wild line will pay 20x your bet size so landing one early will give you a real chance to win big on this bonus.

Duel at Dawn Bonus Feature

The second best Wanted Dead or a Wild bonus feature is Duel at Dawn. This bonus is triggered by landing 3 Duel scatter symbols on any of the 5 reels. Triggering this bonus will reward you with 10 free spins focussed around the DuelReels feature.

The DuelReels feature is built around the VS symbol. This acts as an expanding wild symbol for this slot but also has the added feature of including a multiplier. As you can land more than one VS symbol in a spin all of the connecting multipliers will be added together and multiplied against your connecting payline wins.

The potential multipliers of the VS expanding wild are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x.

As you can see it is possible to land a full screen of VS. In the above picture the multipliers would be added together for a total of 15x and then pay against 15 paylines full line Wild symbol paylines for a total win of 4,500x. As noted previously it also possible to land a full screen of VS symbols in the Dead or a Wild base game so there is huge potential in the base game as well.

Dead Man’s Hand Bonus Feature

The final bonus feature in Wanted Dead or a Wild is Dead Man’s Hand. This bonus can be triggered by landing 3 Dead scatters as shown below. This is the most volatile and rarest of the three bonus features in Wanted Dead or a Wild so you will be extremely lucky if you land it.

The initial play of the Dead Man’s Hand bonus is the wilds and multiplier bullet spins. You will spin repeatedly with the chance to land either wild or multiplier symbols. Each one that you land will increase the amount you take into the actual bonus spins.

Each spin will deplete one of the 3 bullets and the spins will end when all bullets are used. However, landing a wild or multiplier symbol will replenish the bullets and give you 3 full bullet spins again. The bonus won’t start until you have at least 5 wilds and 5x total multiplier but there is potential to get much higher than these minimum levels.

Once you are in the Dead Man’s Hand bonus you will receive 3 bullet spins. On every spin the total number of wilds you gained in the pregame will be placed randomly on the reels. Every win you achieve will be multiplied by your total multiplier. Your aim here would be to line up as many wilds on the same payline as possible and with a big multiplier a 20x wildline win will really boost your balance.

Bonus Buys

Wanted Dead or a Wild offers bonus buys for all 3 of it’s bonus features. The Great Train Robbery will cost you 80x your betsize, Duel at Dawn costs 200x your bet, and Dead Man’s Hand costs a massive 400x your bet. The bonus costs really reflect the different potential available from each bonus but beware. Duel at Dawn and especially Dead Man’s Hand are extremely volatile bonuses.

The paytable and how can you win big

Wanted Dead or a Wild’s paytable contains 11 symbols. The two biggest payers are a full wild line and a full line of the revolver bullets both paying 20x your bet. The payouts pictured below are based on a bet size of $0.40.

The biggest wins you will see on this slot are from landing multiple VS symbols or the Duel at Dawn bonus as these can have a multiplier of up to 100x. A really strong setup on Dead Man’s Hand with a lot of wilds giving you the best chance of landing a wild line to be multiplied will also lead to a really good win.
