Epic Bullets and Bounty Slot (Hacksaw Gaming)

The Epic Bullets and Bounty slot, like its predecessor, is played on 5 reels, 5 rows and 19 paylines. Winning combinations are formed when 3, 4 or 5 identical symbols appear from left to right, beginning from reel 1 and across any of the 19 paylines. Just the highest win per payline will be won.

With a 10p minimum bet per spin, you can play for up to £5 a spin in the UK (or up to £2 if under 25). Use the arrows to change your stake. Non-UK players can use Autoplay, Turbo Mode and Super Turbo Mode.

The Epic Bullets and Bounty RTP rate is 96.24%, with 94.28% and 92.25% RTP alternatives available. Very high volatility (5/5), expect a winning outcome every 1 in 3.05 spins as the hit frequency rate is 32.77%. 

When it comes to win potential, Lastly, Epic Bullets and Bounty comes with 20,000 x bet max wins. It can be achieved in the various free spins features and the base game.

With a Wild West theme, the Epic Bullets and Bounty slot is the sequel to Bullets and Bounty (released in August 2025). In this instalment, you join Katherine ‘Quick Draw Kate’ O'Callaghan again. With pistol in hand, she’s smoking away, ready for action.

In all honesty, I cannot really tell the difference between the original game and the ‘Epic’ version. The graphics, animations and soundtrack are identical which is a tad disappointing. However, I do like the rock/Western-style soundtrack though.

The symbols are also identical, with low-value spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. High-value symbols are represented by cartwheels, ram skulls, pistols, cowboy hats and sheriff badges: the sheriff badge symbol pays the most (awarding 10 x your total bet for 5 across a payline).

In terms of special symbols, there is a Dynamite Wild: substituting for all paying symbols, 5 on a payline awards a 30 x bet payout. You also have VS and Bounty VS symbols: both pay 30 x your total bet for 5 across a payline. Lastly, there is a FS Scatter: this is used to trigger the free spins modes.

Epic Bullets and Bounty Mobile

Created using HTML5 technology, Epic Bullets and Bounty is compatible with desktop, mobile and tablet devices, including iOS and Android smartphones (in Portrait Mode).

The Epic Bullets and Bounty slot comes with 2 DuelReels features and 3 free spins modes with repeating duels, progressive multipliers and guaranteed VS symbols.

Outlaw DuelReels

VS symbols expand when part of a winning combination. Expanded DuelReels will take over the whole reel, transforming it into a Wild DuelReel. A duel then takes place between the 2 duellists with the winning duelist’s multiplier between 2x and 100x applying to all wins on that reel.

Bounty DuelReels

Bounty VS symbols also expand (when part of a win), with a duel between a Bounty Hunter and Outlaw taking place. If the Bounty Hunter wins, she collects the Outlaw’s multiplier and duels again, up to 3 times. The combined multiplier is applied to that reel.

If the Bounty Hunter loses her duel, the collected multiplier is applied to the Bounty DuelReels. Multipliers for Bounty DuelReels begin at 2x.

True Grit

The True Grit feature is triggered by landing 3 FS Scatters during a base game spin. You then play a Bonus Gamble: where you can either play the True Grit free spins or gamble for a chance to play the Four Shots to Freedom free spins.

If you choose to gamble, a revolver spins to award 1 of 6 outcomes. 3 outcomes see you play the Four Shots to Freedom feature with 2 outcomes awarding a 5 x bet prize. 1 outcome awards a 10 x bet prize.

If you play the True Grit feature, you begin with 10 free spins. Playing out like the base game, you benefit from Progressive Bounty Hunter Multipliers: the latest Bounty Hunter Multiplier to win in a DuelReel becomes the starting multiplier for the next Bounty Hunter that takes part in a DuelReel. 2 or 3 FS Scatters will reward you with 2 or 4 extra free spins.

Four Shots to Freedom

Triggered by landing 4 FS Scatters during a base game spin or from the Bonus Gamble highlighted above, you start with 10 free spins. You can choose the Bonus Gamble where you will win a cash prize up to 20 x your total bet or entry to the Go Ahead, Make Her Day free spins.

If you play the Four Shots to Freedom feature, there is a Bullets & Bounty Bar that displays DuelSpins and Bounty VS symbols. Each duel the Bounty Hunter wins sees the Bullets & Bounty Bar increase by 1 step. There are 4 DuelSpin levels in this feature:

• Level 1: Unlocked by 2 Bounty Hunter wins. 3 extra free spins are won + a DuelSpin with 2 or more VS symbols.
• Level 2: Unlocked by 3 Bounty Hunter wins. 3 extra free spins are won + a DuelSpin with 3 or more VS symbols.
• Level 3: Unlocked by 4 Bounty Hunter wins. 3 extra free spins are won + a DuelSpin with 4 or more VS symbols.
• Level 4: Unlocked by 5 Bounty Hunter wins. 3 extra free spins are won + a DuelSpin with 5 VS symbols.

Go Ahead, Make Her Day

The Go Ahead, Make Her Day feature is triggered by landing 5 FS Scatters during a base game spin or from the Bonus Gamble in the Four Shots to Freedom feature.

With 10 free spins awarded, it keeps the mechanics of the Four Shots to Freedom feature with the first free spin beginning at DuelSpin Level 1 (which gives ou a minimum of 2 VS symbols). Furthermore, there are Progressive Bounty Hunter Multipliers.

Epic Bullets and Bounty is a higher volatility version of Bullets and Bounty, with a couple of subtle differences. However, the max win potential remains the same which is disappointing.

If you’ve played Bullets and Bounty,  you’ll know what to expect in the Epic Bullets and Bounty slot. Basically, it’s a higher volatility version with a gamble upgrade to the Go Ahead, Make Her Day free spins.

With the ability to buy your way into the Go Ahead, Make Her Day feature (sorry UK players), the BonusHunt FeatureSpins option increases your chances of triggering a free spins mode (10 times higher as opposed to 5). That’s about it.

Almost everything else is the same as its predecessor: it comes with the same graphics, animations, soundtrack and symbols as well as the bonus features. There are some differences in terms of the stats:

• RTP: 96.24% vs 96.27%
• Volatility: Very High vs Low-Medium
• Hit Frequency: 32.77% vs 46.47%

Despite the much higher volatility, the max win potential is the same at 20,000 x your total bet. In both versions, I found the key to big wins are the Progressive Bounty Hunter Multipliers.

All in all, I don’t see much point to Epic Bullets and Bounty. Yes, it still is a good slot game but Hacksaw Gaming has missed a trick by significantly increasing the max win potential to compensate for the more volatile engine.

If you take Nolimit City’s Tombstone Slaughter, it offers 500,000 x bet max win potential. This is a lot higher than its predecessor, Tombstone RIP (which comes with 300,000 x bet wins). Like games with outlaws, gunslingers and bandits? My guide to the best Wild West slots will be of interest.

If you’re going to offer an enhanced version of a slot game, a case in point is Starburst XXXtreme. NetEnt revamped the iconic Starburst and added multipliers which increased the max win potential from 500 x your total bet to 200,000 x your total bet.
