Wanted Dead or a Wild mechanic preview

A direct provider demo was not shipped because no tested endpoint produced a reliable Ireland frame. Use this original mechanic visual, then open the live game and verify the information panel.

DuelReels in the base game

A VS symbol activates when its expansion creates or participates in a valid win. It then covers the reel and becomes a wild multiplier. Two illustrated rivals carry values; the winning side supplies the reel multiplier. When more than one expanded reel shares a winning line, the relevant values combine under the published rules.

The grid has five reels and five rows but pays on 15 lines, so a large screen does not mean cluster pays. Trace the active lines in the help panel and confirm which RTP option TonyBet serves. Hacksaw publishes four return configurations, ranging from 88.42% to 96.38%.

Three bonus games, three behaviours

The Great Train Robbery makes landing wilds sticky for the feature. Duel at Dawn increases the chance of several VS symbols and expanded DuelReels appearing together. Dead Man’s Hand first collects wild positions and multipliers, then releases those collected elements during a later showdown phase.

They are not different names for the same free-spin mode. The first is about persistent wilds, the second concentrates the duel mechanic, and the third builds a stored set before applying it. A provider-version bonus buy can open a route directly, but availability and cost can be disabled by market or operator.

03 · Game guide

A duel round without invented winnings

Consider a base spin where a VS symbol lands on reel three and its expansion completes a valid line. The reel becomes wild, the duel resolves to one multiplier, and that value is applied only to the qualifying win paths that pass through it. If a second active DuelReel shares a line, the game combines the multipliers as defined in the paytable.

The visible duel is an animation of a resolved random event, not a decision point. No choice of outlaw changes the probability, and a nearly full screen of VS positions has no memory on the next paid spin.

Choosing among the RTP versions

The provider lists 96.38%, 94.55%, 92.33% and 88.42%. That spread is material. Open the game information at TonyBet and record the exact figure before comparing it with another slot; quoting only the highest option would hide a possible lower file.

Hacksaw rates volatility at four out of five and publishes a 12,500× maximum. Keep the stake conservative and assume long quiet runs are possible. A bonus buy, where enabled, pays a large multiple of the base stake for immediate entry but does not improve the expected return into a guaranteed profit.
