Wanted Dead Or A Wild Bonus Features

“Early Morning Duel

When you land three duel symbols a special feature is activated. You’ll be rewarded with 10 spins during this feature. Throughout these spins you’ll also come across VS symbols.

Legend of the Dead Mans Hand

If you manage to land three or more symbols, a unique feature called Dead Mans Hand is triggered. The round kicks off with a phase where you must gather multipliers and wilds to enhance your chances of winning. The more of these items you collect the better your odds become. The wilds gathered will be displayed above the reels while the multiplier values will appear on the side of your screen.

Every time you collect a wild symbol it resets the remaining number of spins, to three. This collection stage continues until there are three spins.

The final phase is the showdown where you get three spins. Each spin introduces a set of wilds onto the reels. Any wins are multiplied by the accumulated multiplier value.

The Infamous Train Heist

By landing three or more Train Robbery symbols you unlock The Great Train Robbery feature. In this round featuring wilds players receive 10 spins where all wild symbols remain sticky throughout their duration.”

VS Icons
Whenever a VS icon expands it aims to enhance the chances of winning. This action results in the reel being covered revealing two outlaws in a duel.

The multiplier of the outlaw gets applied to the reel transforming it into a wild reel.

If multiple VS icons appear their values are summed up first. Then multiplied. If each reel features one VS icon, covering the grid then the grid is considered wild. These VS icons can be found in both the base game and the Duel at Dawn feature.
