Bounty Showdown Slot – Free Demo

Ten lines and a skeleton gunslinger

Bounty Showdown is a release from Fantasma Games. I played 290 spins on it at a 5.00 stake, starting from a balance of 5,000.00. In it, they welcome you into the Wild West. NetEnt's Dead or Alive and Pragmatic Play's Wild West Gold are two other Wild West-themed slots.

The Skull Cowboy substitutes for all pay symbols when he lands. And when the free spins start, every Skull that lands awards ymy total bet times the Skull multiplier. In my session the free spins arrived once, on spin 288 of 290.

This high volatility slot can generate wins up to 4,761x bet, with an RTP of 96.16%. Only 63 of my 290 spins paid, and the longest run without a win lasted 20 spins, ending on spin 135.

Cowgirls, Cowboys and the A that paid 10x

Wins are created on Bounty Showdown, unfolding on a 5×3 grid. Three, fmy or five matching symbols pay, counted from the leftmost reel. This is by hitting identical symbols on 10 fixed paylines, from left to right. Spin 3 paid 25.00 for three Purple Cowgirls on a line, which took the balance to its session peak of 5,010.00.

Top payers consist of the Purple Cowgirl, the Cowboy and the Blonde Cowgirl, and you hit 5 of any top payer to get wins between 30 and 50x bet. Three Purple Cowgirls pay 5x the stake, three Cowboys 4x and three Blonde Cowgirls 3x.

Ultimately, Wild symbols are present to substitute for all pay symbols. There is more on these below. On spin 46, five A on a line paid 50.00, which is 10x the stake.

One skull, two jobs

Both Wild and Scatter, the Skull Cowboy acts as each. Two Skulls trigger the Double Bonus Respin, which locks the reels holding them and respins the other three for a chance at a third.

It substitutes for all pay symbols. When 3, 4 or 5 land anywhere, it awards 10x, 25x or 100x bet. On spin 288, three Skull Cowboys paid 50.00, the 10x the stake listed for three.

Thirteen spins out of 290

You'll activate Showdown Free Spins with 10, 15 or 20 free spins after hitting 3, 4 or 5 Skull Cowboys. My session's only trigger dealt 10 free spins.

During the round, every 3, 4 or 5 Skulls landing will grant 3, 4 or 5 additional free spins. My round retriggered once from three Skulls, adding 3 spins for 13 free spins in all.

Each Skull that lands during the round awards total bet times the Skull multiplier. That is on top of line wins. Across those 13 free spins, my round paid 410.00, or 82x the stake.

Sixteen bullets on the Gatling Wheel

The Gatling Wheel spins 3 times at the outset of Showdown Free Spins. The wheel carries 16 bullets with values up to 100.

Their total, when all three spins are finished, forms the Skull multiplier, up to 300x. Stopping the wheel early does not change the result.

To the multiplier, each retrigger contributes 1 additional Gatling Wheel spin. My round got one such extra spin from its single retrigger.

Minty’s Expert Conclusion: Across 290 spins at a 5.00 stake my session returned 64.8% against a stated 96.16% RTP, and the one Showdown Free Spins round paid 410.00 of the 940.00 won, 44% of the total.

Spin 288 did all the lifting

Gameplay focuses on the Skull Cowboy. My one round took the balance from 4,040.00, the lowest point of the session, to 4,500.00. You hit Skulls to activate Showdown Free Spins, and when you unlock the round, the Gatling Wheel sets the Skull multiplier. That round's 410.00 was 44% of everything the session won. Each retrigger grants a subsequent wheel spin, and when the correct combinations happen, wins are achievable up to 4,761x bet. The best single result of my session was spin 288 at 460.00, or 92x the stake, free spins included.

Lastly, maths is graded high volatility. My 290 spins took the balance from 5,000.00 to 4,490.00, a session return of 64.8%. RTP is 96.16%, so as ever it's worthwhile verifying this.
