The wombat says: The Bounty slot is the 4th outing for Microgaming and Snowborn Games. And so far the partnership has been pretty good one, what with The Vault and Miami Glow.
This joins the games from Microgaming’s other top partnership games like Shamrock Holmes Megaways and the Ingots of Cai Shen slot (those are from All41).
Next up for these savvy Swedes is a trip to the Wild West. Yup, it seems like Snowborn took a look at the success of Tombstone slot from Nolimit City and decided to get in on a piece of the action. And who can blame them?
There’s some chunky winning potential on offer here, plus 2x free spin rounds and 5 jackpot prizes. So get your pistols ready cowboy, and let’s spin…
Look and Feel
Like all Wild West themed games, the slot action is set at high noon in an outlaw town. You’ll also see some rocky canyons either side of the silver coloured reels. The 5 jackpots sit to the left of the reels and there’s a church and a saloon in the background.
The soundtrack is solid, channelling the high chaparral vibes, and sets the scene nicely. Not bad at all.
The Bounty Slot Game Play
The Bounty slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 pay-lines. Not as many as Rome: the Golden Age slot, but then again that game has a 5-4-3-4-5 configuration. You can place bets between 0.15 and 45.00 per spin.
Your rooting-tooting reel symbols include the 4 outlaws characters on wanted posters (and a nasty-looking bunch they are, too) while the lower values are the J, Q, K and A from the playing card deck. These dodgy characters can also hit the reels with a x2 or x4 multiplier if they land as golden Wanted posters.
There are also two types of Wild in play – the silver sheriff star wild and gold sheriff star wild. Both will substitute for all other symbols in the game but the gold Wild will come with a 2x multiplier attached to it.
Finally, the game comes 2 bonus symbols that you will need to look out for; the Bounty Jackpot Bonus that will land on reel 5 only, and the Ambush Bonus symbol that sets off the standard Free Spins.
Free Spins and Bonus Features
Ambush Bonus
This round is set off when you hit 3x Ambush scatters on reels 3, 4 and 5 at the same time – and it can give you unlimited free spins and multipliers. Yes, unlimited!
You’ll get 8 free spins and a 2x multiplier on all wins to begin with, but both of these will be increased by +1 for each silver bullet symbol or dynamite stick icon that lands during the round. Good luck!
Bounty Jackpot
If you want to net The Bounty slot’s biggest win, then you need to set off the Bounty Jackpot feature. There are 5 of them on offer and you must collect 6 of the same type of Wanted poster on the reels to unlock each jackpot. You’ll get 10 spins to do it in. And here are the values:
Grand Jackpot: 1,250x your stake
Major Jackpot – 100x your stake
Maxi Jackpot -18x your stake
Minor Jackpot – 7x your stake
Mini Jackpot – 5x your stake
You can win more than one jackpot during the bonus. And, if you get lucky enough to land those golden posters – the jackpot prize will double or quadruple you’ll be edging up to some very big wins indeed. Bonza!
Conclusion
The gameplay in Bounty slot is nothing new, but it comes with some fun modifiers and that 5,000x your bet max win is not to be sniffed at.
Scoop the Grand Jackpot, and you’ll bring home the bacon – but get your hands on along a few of those Golden Wanted icons and those multipliers will add up nicely, too.
