The Bounty

Stockholm and Helsinki based developer, Snowborn Games has joined the group of the game devs who covered the theme of the outlaws from the Wild West that they created in collaboration with giants Microgaming!

Are you ready to start chasing outlaws in the Wild West?

The Bounty displays a beautiful visual setting, as well as an intense soundtrack and effects that enrich the atmosphere to a great extent.

This five-reel, 15-pay line online title is filled with exciting features, including...

...free spins, symbols collection, multipliers and additional spins and, combined with stunning visuals, it gives players a refreshing experience!

Theme and Symbols

This 5-reeled online slot machine takes you straight to the street in a small Old West town with little saloons and wooden houses standing to the right and the left.

The dark, completely transparent reels, show the long road of this town behind them, while on them, you will see high-quality icons that feature a sheriff, a red-haired gunslinger, a guy with a cigar, a gold miner, and four playing card icons. 

There are also two Wild symbols, one standard deputy badge wild, and the other gold badgex2 wild symbol.

The action is followed by a theme-related soundtrack that adds to the overall atmosphere perfectly!

Betting Options and Other Functions

Accessing the stakes area, players can adjust bets from 15 p/c to £/€45 and engage auto spins easily.

The team of devs has programmed this cowboy-themed online game with medium/high volatility, with a return to player number that clocks in at 96.08%.

Considering all of the above, you realistically have a better chance of winning 5000x your stake but don’t expect very frequent payouts.

The game is also available to play on a mobile or tablet device, so you can get a kick whenever you feel like it.

A win is formed by getting 3 or more matching symbols from left to right - starting from reel 1 - on any of the 15 pay lines.

The lowest-rewarding symbols are playing cards from A to J that pay up to 4x the stake for 5 in a combo, followed by an outlaw with a cigar, a gold miner, a red-haired gunslinger and the highest-rewarding sheriff, paying up to 100x the stake – the same as the Wild symbol!

Special Features

Beside two special Wild symbols, this Wild West-themed online game also boasts two Bonus symbols that, naturally, trigger two different special features.

The first Ambush Scatter symbol lands on reels 3,4 and 5 and when that occurs, they will trigger the Ambush bonus round. Here you will be awarded 8 free spins, with all wins that are multiplied by x2.

During these extra spins, you can also land two other symbols - the +1 bullet that will add 1 extra spin, and the +1 dynamite symbol that will increase the progressive multiplier accordingly with no upper limit!

The Bounty Jackpot Bonus Feature is another form of a Free Spins feature that is triggered once you land the full Bounty Jackpot Bonus symbol on the 5th reel.

When this happens, you will get 10 free spins, during which you will collect certain photos that can reward you one of five Jackpots - Mini, Minor, Maxi, Major, and Grand. 

What you need to do is collect 6 Jackpot posters in association with the jackpot during the feature. 

But there's more!

These poster icons also come in gold, and whenever you land them, you will get an x2 multiplier to the Jackpot they are associated with!

Verdict

Though the Wild West theme has been covered many times so far, you cannot expect anything innovative in terms of design, nor the gameplay.

However, the Snowborn Games team has made a right combination of low and high rewarding symbols, as well as two different Wilds and Bonus rounds that can get you 5 different Jackpots and many winning combos during extra spins!

In addition to this online game, Snowborn Games in collaboration with Microgaming also created slots like The Vault or Miami Glow that you might check out!
