Checked on
What Wanted Dead or a Wild is
The game pays on 15 fixed paylines across a 5×5 grid. Its signature mechanic is DuelReels: when VS symbols land, two outlaws duel and the winner's multiplier is applied to the whole reel, which turns wild; two wild reels with multipliers combine them. The Hacksaw Gaming sheet lists a maximum win of 12,500x and rates volatility at 4 of 5.
| Bonus | What happens |
|---|---|
| The Great Train Robbery | wild symbols become sticky and keep counting in winning combinations |
| Duel at Dawn | a higher chance of several VS symbols at once, so several DuelReels can expand in one spin |
| Dead Man's Hand | phase one collects wilds and multipliers; the Showdown phase drops those wilds into random positions on every spin and applies the collected multiplier |
Each bonus can be entered through the Bonus Buy menu of the game; the provider sheet lists the feature without prices. Fun Play on the platform opens the slot without a deposit.
The Roobet guide opens with an overview of the catalogue, the cashier, the rewards and the licence; this chapter goes into one part of it in detail.

RTP, volatility and max win
Hacksaw Gaming publishes several RTP settings for the same game and lets the operator choose one. Per the Hacksaw Gaming game sheet, the available values are 96.38%, 94.55%, 92.33% and 88.42%; the sheet does not say which one a given casino runs. The casino does not print the configured value on the game card.
| Parameter | Value (provider sheet) |
|---|---|
| RTP settings | 96.38% / 94.55% / 92.33% / 88.42% |
| Volatility | 4 of 5 |
| Max win | 12,500x the bet |
| Layout | 5 reels, 5 rows, 15 paylines |
The casino's live RTP page displays the realised return over the last 10 minutes, 1 hour and 24 hours. The 24-hour reading on 22 October 2026 was 99.10%. A realised figure measures past spins and cannot reveal which of the four settings is active.
Bonus buy and bet range
The provider sheet confirms a Bonus Buy feature but publishes neither its prices nor the stake range. The catalogue tags the game as bonus-buys, so it appears in the Bonus Buys category of the lobby next to 3,020 other titles. Stake limits follow the casino's Game Policy.
- bonus buy: available, prices not published by the provider;
- stake range: third-party slots take $0.01–$100 as a minimum and $3–$20,000 as a maximum per the Game Policy;
- money cap: $5,000–$15,000,000 per third-party game;
- rakeback: real bets accrue under the rules in the chapter on bonuses.
Play is for adults of 18 and over; the chapter on responsible gambling lists the limit tools.

The game has no jackpot tag and no new label, and Fun Play is on. The chapter on providers lists the 107 studios of the platform. Provably fair verification, explained in the chapter on licence and fairness, applies to Originals; a Hacksaw slot relies on the studio's certified RNG.
