Although there are plenty of bounty targets on the reels (pirates, queens, belles, etc.) from different providers, you can always participate in Microgaming’s assignments to ambush or track down their selected scruffy criminal group.
The west’s most notorious outlaws – bank robbers, low-level con artists, greedy and corrupted marauders, cruel murderers – are anything but not invincible. You can enforce your own brand of justice via the Ambush game or in the riveting Jackpot Bonus game.
The western world is a rough, lawless, filthy, violent place, and the pack of ruthless bounty hunters will utilize all strategies to get the bounty: lurking, pursuing, entrapping, besieging, all the time surrounded by flying bullets. Cause only the most cunning will survive.
This is one thrilling slot with perfectly executed symbols, refined animations, and a typical Wild West soundtrack. 15 paylines across standard 5×3 playing field will determine the gameplay of this Medium-High Volatility slot with a modest 96.07% theoretical RTP and more than the bounteous maximum prospect of 5000x the total bet (translated as 225 000 CAD via max bet).
You don’t need rope, guns, or other hunting gear to participate in the chase. Just launch the game, and you are ready for the head-hunter operation. Your scouting can begin here on our site, in the instant DEMO version with free credits.
Personal testers’ opinion about The Bounty slot
- The Stockholm-based creative studio – Snowborn Games (incepted in 2017) might be new to the gambling world, but they surely present mature and memorable games. What is also obvious, that they rely more on quality presentation (with no re-skinning and brief remodelling of their previous successful titles), so they don’t have a large portfolio to brag around. Instead, they delight the players and the affiliates with perfect concepts and design, impressive video and audio quality, and, most importantly, gameplay with fresh elements.
- Regarding the paytable, it should be mentioned that the 4 bounty hunters pay from 100x to 10x the total bet, and the cards all pay 4x the total bet for 5OAK. Besides, there are 2 Wilds (honouring Deputy and Marshal Badges), 1 of which carries 100x the total bet (for 5OAK), and the second holds x2 Multiplier during each substitution on a payline. Thus, even though the 2 bonus symbols do not have value but just a triggering function, we can conclude that The Bounty slot machine has a generous paytable for a 15-liner. For motivation, there is constantly on display (left of the grid) the ultimate prizes of the Bounty Free Spins (potential jackpots related to your current bet).
Gameplay and payouts
- During the base game, there are so many things to watch for and even more to hold your breath for. Is it golden, or is it a bronze Wild? Which Scatter is coming? As a typical medium-high variance slot, The Bounty produces wins with substantial value and relatively high win frequency. Our test team booked the maximum prize of 95x the total bet in the main spins. However, no matter the decent paytable, the game is not particularly good in maintaining the balance even. Due to the fluctuations is principally not suited for covering the wagering requirements.
- Although the plentiful potential is promised during the bonus features, the slot tends to deliver only mediocre rewards. For example, during test sessions, we received an average amount of 34x the total bet from the Jackpot Free Spins feature, despite the unlimited spins and multipliers advertised for the Ambush.
- Free Spins feature, we achieved 48x the total bet in the Old Chapel Hill bonus.
However, we weren’t lucky enough to receive some epic payout; it is good to know that the slot can render such prizes, and maybe you – our dear reader, will be fortunate to get some remarkable amount. And we, too, will come back for more bounty off of this bounty.
In summary: this is not your ordinary slot. It is much more than that. Beautifully realized and supplied with tempting rewards. Everything is on board to make your pastime super enjoyable at The Bounty slot. We recommend the game with real money (via middle-sized bets – 1 CAD max to 4.50 CAD) until 1 well-paid Free Spins round. After which, you have to revise your cash status and decide to play longer or leave for the day (a 30% increase of your initial funds is the moment to depart). Not proper for bonus hunters.
Bonus Features
Wilds – There are 2 types of Wilds, employed as the usual substitution for almost all other symbols.
- Deputy Badge – bronze – brings 100x the total bet prize if 5OAK on a payline. Participates also in the Ambush Free Spins.
- Marshal Badge – gold – caries x2 multiplier attached to the wins, where participates.
Free spins – There are 2 types of Free Spins, both with no possible re-trigger.
- Ambush Free Spins – Triggered by the special 3 Ambush Bonus signs, which can only drop on the last 3 reels. You start with 8 Free Spins initially, but during the bonus, you can receive additional spins (via the bullets symbols) or increasing multipliers (via the dynamite symbols). Here, in theory, is announced the limitless number of spins and multiplying factor.
- Jackpot Free Spins – Triggered by the special full-length (whole reel) Jackpot Bonus sign, which can only drop on reel 5. That grants you 10 (always) Free Spins, during which you have to collect pieces for the bounty heads via posters (till full meter) from any of the 6 criminals. This way, slowly, you can gather 1 (or more) of the 5 fixed Jackpots – Grand/Major/Maxi/Minor/Mini. If a golden poster matches the Jackpot drops, it will double or quadruple that Jackpot. Only very few symbols participate in this feature, and no one of the Wilds is present.
