Bounty County Slot by Relax Gaming

Even one bandit pays. That's the unusual part of this scatter pays slot - the paytable's first tier starts at n=1, so a single sheriff or boss-bandit symbol landing anywhere on the 6x6 grid awards 0.3x the bet. Most scatter-pays games require 4 or 5 of a kind to start scoring. Here the floor is a single icon. The paytable scales up from there: 2 of a kind, 3, 4, 5, 6, with the H1-H3 trio (sheriffs and lead bandits) topping out at 50x for six on the grid. Royals follow the same n=1 to n=6 ladder but cap at 10x.

The bonus is the real hook, and it's structured differently than a typical Free Spins round. When triggered, you pick one of three difficulty modes before the round starts. Easy gives steadier wins with capped multipliers. Medium sits in the middle. Hard pushes for the big multipliers but accepts more dead spins along the way. Average bonus return across modes is reportedly 52.5x bet, but the variance per mode shifts that average around. It's the same volatility-switch idea you get on Big Bass Bonanza pick-a-mode bonuses, transplanted into a Wild West setting.

Double Bet sits in the corner as a 2x cost ante, raising the bonus trigger frequency. Buy Feature pricing comes in two tiers: 50x for Normal Bonus, 100x for Super Bonus, both at 96.5% RTP. So the bonus is mathematically slightly more generous than base game (96.10% RTP), unusual for a buy feature.

Visually it leans hard into spaghetti western - a wooden plank reel frame sits inside a dusty desert backdrop with mesa silhouettes, and a posse of cartoon bandits and a revolver-wielding cowgirl loom over the right side of the screen. A wooden BOUNTY COUNTY poster on the left declares WIN UP TO 5,000X with the Double Bet toggle below it. Symbols are sheriff and bandit characters for the highs, cowboys and cowgirls for the mids, and stained-glass royals stamped with horseshoes, clovers, and stars. TNT sticks land as blockers. The whole palette is sepia dust with crimson and gold accents - the kind of western styling that comes off as Saturday-morning-cartoon rather than Tarantino.
