Bounty Showdown Slot Review

Bounty Showdown Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Bounty Showdown slot is played on 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. Create winning combinations in the usual manner here by landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds from left to right on a payline starting from reel 1.

Click on the coins below the spin button to the right of the reels to adjust your stake. Stake sizes range from 10p to £100 per spin. The paytable shows payout amounts in cash rather than coins and adjusts as you amend your stake. It’s all nice and easy to follow.

The Bounty Showdown RTP is 96.16%. This increases to 97.12% if you buy the free spins (not available in the UK). Medium to high variance, the maximum win from this Wild West adventure is 4,761 x your total stake.

Theme – Audio & Design Features – hunt down Mr Joe Boneson

The Bounty Showdown slot has a Wild West theme. The back story here centres on a trio of Wild West vigilantes looking for revenge against the mysterious gunslinger, Mr Joe Boneson, who brought their bandit friend to justice.

The setting is a classic Wild West town made up of wooden shacks and a raucous saloon. Complementing the comic book-style visuals is a twangy soundtrack that really rocks in the free spins feature. The design here is a good fit for the bandit theme.

On the reels, you’ll find A to J royals and 4 higher paying bandit symbols. The best of the quartet is the bandit with the skull face. Land 3, 4 or 5 of this character on a payline and you’ll pocket an award of 10, 25 or 100 x your total stake.

The gold coin with the skull motif is the Bonus Wild. As usual, this substitutes for all the standard symbols. Land 3, 4 or 5 in combination and you’ll pocket a payout equal to 10, 25 or 100 x stake as well as triggering the free spins feature.

Bounty Showdown is available to play on all devices including mobiles, tablets and desktop and laptop computers. It’s a very straightforward game to play and you won’t lose anything playing the Bounty Showdown mobile slot as opposed to a bigger screen version.

Bounty Showdown Bonus features

With 3 bonus features, respins and free spins are the main feature offerings available in Bounty Showdown. In the free spins round, you can also bag special bounty bonuses on top of any standard wins.

Double Bonus Respin feature

Trigger the Double Bonus Respin feature by landing 2 Bonus Wild symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. Any line wins are paid out first. The 2 reels that contain he Bonus Wild symbols are then held.

The rest of the reels spin again to offer another chance to land a winning combination or land another Bonus Wild symbol which activates the Showdown Free Spins feature.

Showdown Free Spins feature

Land 3 or more Bonus Wild symbols on the same base game spin or via the Double Bonus Respin feature and you’ll trigger Bounty Showdown’s main draw, the Showdown Free Spins feature. The more Bonus Wilds, the more initial free spins:

• 3 Bonus Wilds = 10 free spins
• 4 Bonus Wilds = 15 free spins
• 5 Bonus Wilds = 20 free spins

Before the feature starts, a Gatling Wheel made up of 16 chambers will revolve. Each chamber has a number in it which can range from 2 right up to 100. You’ll get to spin the Gatling Wheel 3 times. The numbers from the 3 spins are then added together.

Each time a Bonus Wild symbols lands during the free spins, the combined value of the 3 numbers is applied to your total stake and awarded as an instant win prize. These come on top of any standard paylines wins. For example, say the spin of the Gatling Wheel stopped on values of 2, 3 and 5. That gives a total of 10. Each time a Bonus Wild lands during the free spins, an award equal to 10 x your total stake is made.

Land 3, 4 or 5 Bonus Wilds on the same free spin adds another 3, 4 or 5 free spins to your total. You’ll also get an extra spin of the Gatling Wheel. There’s no limit to the number of free spins you can play with.

Buy Free Spins feature

In some territories, players will have an option to buy the Showdown Free Spins feature for a fee of 80 x stake. If you do so, the RTP increases from 96.16% to 97.12%. This option isn’t available in the UK though.

Bounty Showdown Review Summary – these sharp shooters hit the target

The stripped back gameplay and the rather rugged design come together nicely in the Bounty Showdown slot. There’s still enough going on here to keep things interesting though, especially when you trigger the free spins feature.

A good haul from the Gatling Wheel before the feature begins and the Bonus Wilds can deliver some top action. With max wins of 1,000 x stake per spin (a screen full of the high value symbols), the max wins of 4,761 x will come from the cash prizes generated from the Gatling Wheel.

If you like your slots to come with a Western flavour, Bounty Showdown is well worth seeking out. There are better Wild West themed games though with El Paso Gunfight (Nolimit City), Dead or Alive 2 (NetEnt) and Tombstone (Nolimit City).
