Twelve times your stake. That’s what the Bounty Hunter demo charges to put a Collector on reel 1 every spin, whereas most Pragmatic Play ante bets add a fraction to the price. Pragmatic Play‘s September 2025 western hangs everything on a duel.
A Collector lands, grows to fill its reel, and shoots it out with every cash-carrying bandit to its right, one at a time, and every duel it wins adds 1x to the multiplier for the next.
Without the ante, you wait for the Collector to turn up on its own. With it, a $2.00 spin costs $24, and every turn is a gunfight, played on 20 lines at 96.51% RTP under a 10,000x cap.
A purple bandit showing 40x pays 20x as a line of 5 and 40x only if a Collector comes for it. Any of the 4 premium symbols- 3 bandits and the cowgirl- can land carrying a cash value, and the game rolls the values fresh on every spin from 16 steps.
| Values | Notes |
|---|---|
| 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x | Seven values below the 8x mark |
| 8x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x | Six values in the middle of the set |
| 40x, 50x, 100x | Three values at the top, all multiples of your total bet |
On their own, they’re line symbols with a price tag. They only pay when a Collector arrives to duel for them, and there’s no wild anywhere on the reels to help the lines along in the meantime.
A Collector spin pays no line wins, which the splash screen doesn’t mention. The Collector lands on reel 1 and nowhere else, expands to cover the reel and duels each money symbol on screen from left to right, and the duels take the place of the paylines rather than sitting on top of them. Win a duel, and the game collects that value and adds 1x to the multiplier for the next duel; lose it, and that symbol pays nothing, but the sequence moves on to the next. Four money symbols on screen means up to 4 duels, with the last one worth 4x its value if the first 3 went your way. Once the final duel in a normal spin is done, the multiplier drops back to 1x, so a 3-duel spin that lost its first shootout pays the second at 1x and the third at 2x.
Reel 5 has its own special symbol, a Multiplier worth x10, x20, x30, x50 or x100. When it lands in the same spin as a Collector, the Collector duels it first. Win that duel and its value applies to every collection still to come on that spin, and it stays fixed there; the 1x steps stop. Lose it, and the spin carries on at 1x with the ordinary duels. The game caps it all in its own words, “The maximum win amount is limited to 10,000x bet”, and that limit applies to a single spin or a whole free spins round alike.
Three, 4 or 5 money-bag scatters pay 8, 12 or 16 free spins, and the same counts inside the round retrigger the same number of extra spins. The bonus differs by memory. The duel multiplier no longer resets between spins; every won duel keeps adding 1x until the round ends or the multiplier reaches x100, its limit. Special reels run during the round, so Collectors and money symbols show up more often than they do outside it. Super Free Spins go further. A Collector sits on reel 1 on every spin of the round, so every money symbol on screen gets a duel every time, and the multiplier only has one direction to go.
The ante toggle reads Duels Every Spin, and it does what it says. Your bet multiplier goes from 20x to 240x, so a $2 spin becomes $24, and in return the Collector lands on reel 1 on every spin. That 12x price is why the top stake on the rules reads $2,880; that’s the ante-mode figure, and it sits far above what a normal spin can reach.
The two buy prices are 80x for Buy Free Spins ($160 at our demo stake) and 500x for Buy Super Free Spins ($1,000). Both guarantee 3, 4, or 5 scatters on the buying spin, and the second also guarantees the Collector.
A purple bandit showing 40x on a line of 3 pays 1x, and the 40x stays unpaid. New players misread that rule more than any other. A cash value only pays through a Collector on reel 1, one duel at a time. With no Collector, only the 20 paylines pay, left to right from reel 1, one win per line. With one, the lines pay nothing and the duels pay instead, so the same bandit is worth 40x, or nothing if its duel is lost.
The big circular arrow at bottom right spins the reels, and a tap on it mid-spin stops them early. On a keyboard, space or enter does the same job, and holding space runs turbo spin for as long as you keep it down; the on-screen prompt reminds you between spins. The small button beside the spin arrow cycles the reel speed through normal, quick and turbo, so you can leave it on quick without holding anything. Minus and plus either side of the spin button step the stake up and down, and the bet menu behind the stake figure lets you set a specific total. Autoplay opens a panel where you pick a number of spins, with a Skip Screens option that jumps past the feature intro and end screens so the round doesn’t pause for applause. The three-line menu holds settings and the rules, and the speaker icon mutes the sound. Down the left of the frame hang 3 wooden signs, the 2 buy prices and the Duels Every Spin toggle, which is off when the demo starts and stays off until you flip it.
Flip the Duels Every Spin toggle and the bet multiplier goes from 20x to 240x, so a $2.00 spin reads $24.00. Stakes start at $0.20, and the $2,880 top figure on the rules is the ante-mode limit, so a normal spin tops out at $240. RTP is 96.51%. The volatility icon on the rules screen sits at Low, and nothing else about the game agrees with it, so the rating on this page is High; the review tab explains why.
Three dynamite pay 0.2x, the lowest line on the table, and no symbol pays for a pair, so every line needs 3. Values are multiples of your total bet across all 20 lines, with the cash column at $2. The orange bandit tops the table at 100x for 5, more than 30 times what the dynamite pays for the same line.
| Symbol | 3 | 4 | 5 | 5 at $2 |

| Orange bandit | 2x | 10x | 100x | $200 |

| Cowgirl | 1.25x | 5x | 25x | $50 |
| Purple bandit | 1x | 4x | 20x | $40 |
| Hat | 0.4x | 1.25x | 5x | $10 |
| Boots | 0.3x | 1x | 4x | $8 |
| Revolver | 0.25x | 0.75x | 3.5x | $7 |
| Dynamite | 0.2x | 0.6x | 3x | $6 |
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Money values | 0.5x to 100x total bet, on the 4 premium symbols |
| Collector | Reel 1 only; expands and duels each money symbol left to right |

| Multiplier symbol | Reel 5 only; x10, x20, x30, x50 or x100; duelled first |
| Free spins | 3, 4 or 5 scatters for 8, 12 or 16 spins; same counts retrigger |
| Ante bet | 240x bet multiplier instead of 20x; Collector every spin |
| Buys | 80x free spins; 500x Super Free Spins with a Collector every spin |
| Max win | 10,000x total bet |
The buy prices tell you how the studio weights the two rounds. Standard free spins at 80x are cheap for a Pragmatic Play round, because a bought round can still go several spins without a Collector; Super Free Spins at 500x cost more than 6 times as much, and the extra buys a Collector on reel 1 for every spin of the round.
Bounty Hunter's duel feature is a good idea with a 12x price tag. The 96.51% RTP and 10,000x cap are solid Pragmatic Play numbers, but the fun sits inside Collector spins you either wait for or pay heavily to force. Run the ante in free play before you decide whether the gunfight is worth the bill.
12x. Pragmatic Play’s ante bets usually add a fraction to the stake in exchange for a better trigger rate; this one multiplies the whole bet by 12 to guarantee a Collector on reel 1. Everything the slot does well – the duel, the climbing multiplier, the x100 symbol on reel 5, it all sits behind either luck or a stake that turns $2 into $24, and at the $2 demo stake both routes cost nothing to try.
Without the ante, a Collector is a rare visitor. A row of boots, a lone scatter on reel 2 and bandits carrying no values pays 0.3x for the boots and nothing else, so the 20 lines on their own return pocket change. The 96.51% RTP and the 10,000x cap are solid, so the maths is fine; what’s unusual is how much of that return lives inside duels you can lose.
Grinning bandits, a cowgirl with a sheriff’s star and a saloon called Malzobis behind the reels set the tone, loud in the right way, and it all reads at speed when duels fire one after another.
Wild West Gold shows its multipliers on the reels before they pay, and Bounty Hunter hides its value in duels you can lose, so the difference between the two westerns is where the money lives. If you like the western theme but want free spins that carry the game without a shootout, The Dog House is the safer pick from the same studio. Bounty Hunter is a good idea, but it comes at a steep price, and the ante decides which half of that you see.
