Provider:

Two rows at each end of the reel set
Tombstone is a Wild West themed slot played on a 2, 3, 3, 3, 2 reel set with 108 win ways. Those ways pay from the leftmost reel rightwards on adjacent reels, and only the highest win per way counts.
The RTP is listed at 96.18% in the game itself. The profile for this game on this site gives 96.19%, a hundredth of a point adrift of what the help screen says.
Dynamite at the top of the paytable
The game arrives with the Outlaw Wild. It substitutes for everything except the Scatter and the Badges. It also substitutes for the highest possible winning combination on the way. The rest of the paytable runs dynamite, gold bars, money bag, horseshoes and revolver above the card ranks A, K, Q and J.
The Outlaw Wilds are 3 rows high, and they only land on reels 2, 3 and 4. The outer reels hold two rows each, which is why nothing that tall can appear there.
What a nudging Outlaw Wild is actually worth
The game revolves entirely around the Outlaw Wilds landing in the main game. Different reel configurations are used in the main game and in each bonus mode. An Outlaw Wild always nudges until it is completely visible. Each nudge step adds 1 to the win multiplier, as does each additional Outlaw Wild that lands. One of the captured frames shows a single three-row Outlaw Wild standing on reel 2 for a 21-credit win at the 5-credit stake.
Sheriff on reel 1, Marshall on reel 5
There are three of them, and the Sheriff Badge on reel 1 together with the Marshall Badge on reel 5 grants 3 Justice Spins, in which the Outlaw Wilds stick. The second captured frame is that award landing at the same 5-credit stake, three spins on the counter. Three scatters on the other hand grant 10 Gunslinger Spins.
The Gunslinger Spins arrive with a more powerful Outlaw Wild feature: the win multiplier from the Outlaw Wilds is sticky and unlimited, and should the Sheriff Badge, three scatters and the Marshall Badge all land together, you receive 12 Bounty Spins with both feature sets merged. Bounty Spins was the only mode the session reached, once, on spin 89 of 420. In either mode a scatter grants an extra spin, and two scatters grant three.
The Minty Breakdown: A 33.8% return over 420 spins, with one 12-spin Bounty round supplying 31% of everything that came back. Tombstone puts almost all of its maths in the Outlaw Wilds, so a stretch that draws few of them has very little else going on in it.
One Bounty round in 420 spins
Over 420 spins at a 5-credit stake the balance moved from 10,000 credits to 8,610 and never once rose back above where it began, a 33.8% return. That is 2,100 credits wagered against 710 won. Only 68 spins paid anything at all. The best of them was the 220 on spin 89, followed by 65 on spin 185 and 27 on spin 330. Half of those paid less than the stake, with one run of 24 spins in a row yielding nothing. The empty run ended on spin 48, and 8,610 was both the low point and the closing balance.
The sole bonus I landed was 12 Bounty Spins on spin 89, which paid 220 credits, or 44 times the stake, and that lone round was 31% of everything the session won. It did not retrigger, and it moved the balance from 9,631.50 to 9,846.50 credits.
