Bounty County Slot Overview

Bounty County is a casino slot from Relax Gaming set amidst the wildlands of the Old West where criminals roam free, ruthlessly robbing honest people of their property. Gang bosses grow in power by the day, extending their reach across the entire country, making no town a safe place for ordinary folk. Their reign is about to take a turn for the worse, though, as a trio of ambitious sheriffs sets off on a mission to rid the lands of all evil. The ultimate showdown will take place on a 6x6 grid where the central part is occupied by the law while the bandits operate on the outskirts. Each hit of the scatter-pays system will bring the marshalls closer to their goal, weakening the ranks of villains and opening the way to the leaders who must be eliminated. The top bounty for the highest boss is worth 5,000x the bet, so let's load up the guns, saddle the horses, and hunt down the outlaws.

Bounty County Slot Information

The landscape of the American frontier hardly ever changed and neither does it this time. All we can see in the background are barren wastelands studded with rocky hills and an occasional lonely cactus. Eagles soar gently through the sky while the setting sun slowly hides behind the horizon, escaping the neverending clouds of dust carried by the wind. To the right of the main playing area, we see a mix of sheriffs and outlaws, all of them holding guns and waiting in anticipation of the inevitable fight. To the left, a few UI elements track the current active multiplier, collected additional free spins, and prizes for defeating gang bosses. Landing a win requires matching 4 symbols anywhere on the internal 4x4 grid. Thanks to the game's universal responsive design, players can enjoy the thrilling action on any modern device, be it a desktop, a smartphone, or a tablet.

The paytable comprises three sets of distinct symbols. On the lower end, we have classic playing card royals: J, Q, K, and A, paying from 10x the bet for sets of 9 or more. Mid-paying symbols depict a clover, a bottle of whiskey, and a horseshoe, awarding 20x the bet when 9 or more appear on the grid simultaneously. Premium icons appear as two male and one female sheriff, paying 50x the bet for combinations of 9+ matching instances. In addition to the regular symbols, there are Wilds represented by a sheriff star with the letter W and a range of special symbols that can be awarded from the outer grid.

Cascading

Every win initiates a cascading sequence where the evaluated symbols disappear from the grid, making room for new ones to drop in. This potentially can lead to further hits. Cascading continues until no new combinations can be created.

Special Symbols

At the beginning of every spin, the area surrounding the 4x4 grid is covered with wooden crates and Cash Bandits. Every time a win occurs adjacent to those positions, a crate will be destroyed and potentially award a Wild symbol unless it already carries a specific mark that indicates another feature.

Guns = reveals a pistol that deals 3-6 hits to random Cash Bandits or shoots a TNT crate.

TNT Crate = can appear as either light TNT that deals 1 hit to all special symbols on the same row or column or heavy TNT that deals 3 hits in the same fashion.

When a win occurs next to the Cash Bandit symbol, it takes a hit and after receiving 3 hits during the same round, it disappears, awarding a prize of 0.1x, 0.2x, or 0.3x the bet. When it's a Multiplier Bandit, it increases the total multiplier of the round by x1 and when it's a Free Spins Bandit, it adds an extra spin to the initial tally if the Bonus Game is triggered during the same round.

Bonus and Super Bonus

When all Bandits on the outer field are removed over the course of one round, a bonus round is triggered. If at least one of them was a Multiplier or a Free Spins Bandit, the Super Bonus will be awarded, offering a more rewarding experience on average. The bonus starts with 6 initial free spins and an x1 multiplier, plus any additional spins and multiplier boosts collected during the triggering spin. Before the first spin, players must choose one of three available modes.

Hard Mode = Multiplier Bandits are present but Free Spin Bandits are not.

Medium Mode = Both Multiplier and Free Spin Bandits are present.

Easy Mode = Free Spin Bandits are present but Multiplier Bandits are not.

In addition to the Bandits available from the base game (depending on the chosen mode), there will also be high-value Boss Bandits present on outer reels during the bonus. Each one requires 6 hits to be defeated and award his respective prize.

Small Boss = 5x - 15x the bet.

Medium Boss = 20x - 75x the bet.

Big Boss = 100x - 500x the bet.

Double Bet

Players can charge their spins with additional power by enabling Double Bet which increases the base stake value by 100% and in exchange boosts the overall hit rate by 60% and more than doubles the chance to trigger the bonus, which 2 out of 3 times will be a Super Bonus.

Feature Buy

It's also possible to trigger either bonus mode instantly for a fixed price.

50x = Regular Bonus

100x = Super Bonus

Bounty County Slot Conclusion

As far as the Western-themed slot machines ago, the vast majority of them take a rather conventional approach to design and content. Sometimes more gritty and solemn like Deadwood R.I.P. by Nolimit City and other times more lighthearted like Clumsy Cowboys from Backseat Gaming. Still, most of them share the same setting convention, placed somewhere in the American plains or on the streets of an abandoned town. Bounty County, while sporting an eye-pleasing design and a generally likable environment, doesn't aspire to change things up in that matter. It's another one of those themes balancing between serious and casual with its design and symbol choices, involving a bunch of outlaws, sheriffs that pursue them, and a line-up of generic imagery like guns, horseshoes, and whiskey bottles. Luckily, there's a unique reel setup that instantly distinguishes it from other traditional slots, and that's where the game reveals its ingenious identity.

Scatter-pay games have been swarming iGaming for some years now, popping up in almost every studio's roadmap. However, it rarely happens that wins in this format are awarded for so few symbols as it stands in Bounty County. Truth be told, the playing area on which combinations can land is only 4x4, but still, it creates an impression of being more achievable. The additional prizes for blasting away bandits in the base game are rather insignificant, offering only up to 0.3x the bet for a symbol that needs 3 hits to be removed. But, there are special crates with guns and TNT that can speed things up, so there's that. The bonus round comes with a choice that resembles the one from the good old Temple Tumble Megaways where you can play with either Multipliers or Extra Spins alone or both combined. The cherry on top is the Boss Bandit symbol that may carry prizes of up to 500x the bet but is twice as difficult to defeat, requiring 6 hits total. All in all, it's a clever use of the scatter-pays system and an outer area lined with rewards that gain more value during the bonus round.

Bounty County offers a clever mix of well-known mechanics shaped into a unique scatter-pays format, dressed in a classic Western theme.
