Bounty Showdown Slot Demo

Bounty Showdown Review

It looks like the development team at Fantasma Games have ticked off another entry from the great big ‘book of’ slot themes. Bounty Showdown is their take on the classic Wild West slot setup and arrives in a 5-reel, 3-row and 10-payline setup. The crisp graphics set the reels against a sparse looking town with wooden buildings and a couple of cowboys on horseback near the watering hole. The game’s symbols add to the imposing atmosphere, with a range of edgy looking characters on display and a golden skull acting as the bonus symbol here. The mean and moody soundtrack helps to add to the tension with some great effects boosting the slot’s athletic appeal. It’s no Dead or Alive by any stretch of the imagination, but the developer has done a great job here nonetheless. But is it enough to create a bounty winning slot, or will it be left in the last chance saloon? Read our full review now to find out, cowboy!

Bounty Showdown Bonus Features

The bounty in the slot’s name must refer to its bonus features, which can combine to give you a shot at the game’s 4,761x your bet max reward. In the base game, you’ll trigger a Double Bonus Respin by lading 2 golden skull wilds to lock their reels into place. However, it’s the slot’s Showdown Free Spins round where the gunslinging action really ramps up. Before the spins begin, a revolver barrel will spin 3 times to calculate your total multiplier, up to 300x your bet. Landing more scatters during the feature will bring you some retriggers and boost the multiplier to keep the wild action going!

Golden Wilds and Scatters

Golden skulls show up as both the wild and scatter symbols in Bounty Showdown, lending it almost Mexican flavour. Acting as wilds, these slot features can sub in for any paying symbol to help you land some all-important wins. When the golden skull symbols behave like scatters, they’ll trigger the slot’s respin feature.

Double Bonus Respin

Landing 2 scatter bonus symbols will trigger the Double Bonus Respin feature. This holds the 2 reels that contain the golden skull scatters in place, allowing the remaining 3 reels to respin for a free shot at some additional rewards.

Showdown Free Spins

You can trigger the free spins round with 10, 15, or 20 spins when you land 3, 4 or 5 skull scatters respectively. The max 5 scatter triggering will also reward you with a very welcome 100x your bet too. A giant revolving pistol cylinder with 16 chambers will fill the screen before the spins commence. Each chamber holds a multiplier value of anywhere up to 100x and it will spin a total of 3 times, adding together all of the multipliers it lands on to a maximum of 300x. The combined total will show up to the right of the reels and become your win multiplier for the duration of the free spins feature. Anytime a skull lands as a wild during the feature, you’ll get the current total shown, multiplied by your bet, plus your regular payline wins. You can also get 3, 4 or 5 additional free spins by landing 3, 4 or 5 golden skull wilds to keep the feature going. You’ll also get 1 more spin of the pistol cylinder to boost the current multiplier.

Bounty Showdown Jackpot

A top reward of 4,761x your bet is the best you can expect to gain from playing Bounty Showdown as there is no progressive jackpot featured in the game. It’s not the biggest bounty in the Wild West by some distance, but it could prove enough for casual players.

RTP and Volatility

This slot sits right in between the high to medium volatility zones making it not quite as wild as the theme might suggest. The RTP is set at a fair 96.16% and jumps up to 97.12% with the bonus buy feature, but that’s not available to UK players unfortunately.
