Wanted Dead Or a Wild
Wanted Dead Or a Wild is a slot with a rough Wild West theme full of outlaws, duels, and train robberies. You can spin it right away as a free demo with no sign-up.
How do Duel Reels work in Wanted Dead Or a Wild?
If a VS symbol lands and can be used in an expanded win, the entire reel turns into a wild reel. Two outlaws face off in a duel, and whoever wins, the winner’s multiplier applies to the whole reel. This game was the first to introduce the Duel Reels, the signature mechanic of Hacksaw Gaming slots.
What happens to the multiplier when several wild reels overlap?
When a winning combination includes two or more wild reels, their multiplier values are added together and then applied to the payline win. With 15 paylines, even two or three overlapping reels can make the effective multiplier jump considerably. In the Duel at Dawn bonus this happens far more often, so you end up hoping for several wild reels to appear at once. That’s what makes a single win spike so high.
How does the Great Train Robbery bonus work?
A sticky wild bonus where every wild symbol that lands stays locked in place. Locked wilds can be reused across multiple winning combinations, so the more the screen fills with wilds, the bigger the wins get. Because locked wilds remain until the end, the more wilds you secure early in the bonus, the more winning lines you keep getting in later spins. A fully packed screen is the best-case picture.
What’s the difference between Duel at Dawn and Dead Man’s Hand?
In Duel at Dawn, multiple VS symbols are much more likely to land at once, so you can aim for up to 5 Duel Reels, and it’s the bonus closest to the max win. Dead Man’s Hand has two phases: first you collect wilds and multipliers, then in the Showdown phase the collected wilds are placed in random positions on every spin and the accumulated multiplier applies. All three bonuses can be opened directly by buying them.
What should I check first in the demo?
RTP is 96.38%, with 94.55%, 92.33%, and 88.42% versions also available. Volatility is 4/5 (high) and the max win is 12,500x. In the demo, try buying each of the three bonuses and first check how many VS symbols land in Duel at Dawn. Be sure to watch the Showdown phase of Dead Man’s Hand too.
