How to play Wanted Dead or a Wild

Simple on the surface, wild underneath. Here's every rule in the order you'll meet it.

01The board and the lines

The game uses 5 reels of 5 rows with 15 fixed paylines. Three, four or five matching symbols on a line pay from the leftmost reel. The low symbols are card ranks A, K, Q, J and 10; the high ones are the skull, bandit, moneybag, bottle and gun chamber.

02The Wild

The Wild replaces every symbol except VS and the bonus symbols. Five Wilds on a line pay 20× the bet.

03VS symbols and duels

  • VS acts like a Wild.
  • When it's part of a win, it expands over the whole reel.
  • Two outlaws then duel, and the winner's multiplier — 2× to 100× — applies to the win.
  • Several VS reels add their multipliers together.
