Launched in 2021 by Fantasma Games, Bounty Showdown is a 5-reel, 10-payline video slot themed on Wild West. The game offers several bonus features, including the Double Bonus Respins and Showdown Free Spins feature. The maximum possible win you can hit while playing the Bounty Showdown slot is 4,500x the bet.
Mr. Joe Boneson, a mysterious gunslinger, was wanted dead or alive, and the promised reward was $50,000. After the locals had found and killed him, three riders arrived in the town, ready to avenge him. That’s the story behind the Fantasma Games 2021 title that takes you to the American frontier. Both sound and visuals serve well to the theme of the game. High-value symbols are depicted as an outlaw with a skull face and his three companions. The rest of the positions are filled by playing card royals. The only special symbol in the game is Bonus Wild represented by a golden coin with a skull.
To play Bounty Showdown, you have to wager between $0.10 and $100 per spin. Just pick the value that suits you best, and you are good to go. If you wish, you can activate up to 100 automatic spins and set win and loss limits. At least three symbols of a kind must be placed on a payline left to right to win a payout.
Bounty Showdown is all about Bonus Wild that triggers two main bonus features in the game. Land two Bonus Wilds on the reels at the same time and you will activate the Double Bonus Respin feature. Within the feature, the two reels featuring the triggering symbols will be locked in their positions. The rest of the reels will spin, thus providing you with an additional chance to create a win or enter free spins.
To trigger the Showdown Free Spins feature, you need 3 Bonus Wild symbols on the reels at the same time. The feature awards 10, 15, or 20 free games. Before free spins start, you will be offered to spin the Gatling Wheel showing numbers from 2 to 100. The numbers the wheel stops on will be added together. Whenever Bonus Wild hits the reels, you will win an instant prize equal to the combined value of the numbers the Gatling Wheel has stopped on. The free spins feature can be retriggered.
Bounty Showdown is a decent video slot for all fans of Western movies. Its free spins feature is highly exciting thanks to instant wins you can hit on top of your regular prizes. However, given that it is a medium to high volatility slot, we would like to see a maximum payout larger than 4,500x the stake. The RTP of the Fantasma Games release is 96.16%, which is a bit above the industry standard.
