Overview
Released by PG Soft on August 30, 2022, Wild Bounty Showdown pairs a distinctive diamond-shaped 3-4-5-5-4-3 grid with an aggressive doubling multiplier during Free Spins, following outlaw character Cass through a bank-robbery showdown in the fictional Crystal Town.
A Wild West bounty-hunter theme built around outlaw character Cass ambushing a gang of bank robbers, framed by gold bars, revolvers, and dusty desert-town saloons in the fictional Crystal Town.
Bonus Features Breakdown
Diamond-Shaped Ways Grid
The 6-reel grid expands from 3 symbols on the outer reels up to 5 in the middle (a 3-4-5-5-4-3 shape), generating 3,600 ways to win. Wins form from 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel.
Gold-Framed Wilds & Cascades
Winning symbols are removed and replaced by new ones cascading down. Symbols landing inside gold frames on reels 3 and 4 that are part of a win transform into Wild symbols on the following cascade. In the base game, each successful cascade adds +1 to a running win multiplier.
Gold Bar Scatter & Free Spins
Landing 3 or more Gold Bar scatter symbols anywhere on the reels triggers 10 Free Spins, with 2 additional spins awarded for every scatter beyond the third. The round is retriggerable.
Doubling Free Spins Multiplier
Free Spins start with an 8x multiplier that doubles after every winning cascade - 8x, 16x, 32x, and upward - capping at a theoretical 1,024x. That running multiplier applies to every win for the rest of the round.
Betting Range & Jackpot
Total bets run from $0.20 up to $100 per spin. Wild Bounty Showdown doesn't carry a jackpot round - its biggest built-in win comes from the doubling Free Spins multiplier, capped at 5,000x your total stake.
RTP & Volatility
RTP: 96.75%. Volatility: High.
Our Take
The doubling Free Spins multiplier is what sets this apart from almost every other title in this catalogue - starting at 8x and doubling with every successful cascade means a genuinely hot run can compound explosively fast, reaching a theoretical 1,024x multiplier well before the game's 5,000x total win cap even comes into play.
Real tracked-play data backs up that potential rather than just describing it on paper: independent live-performance tracking from Spindex logged 4 wins above 1,000x and 21 above 500x across roughly 18,600 tracked bets over a recent 30-day window, with the single biggest confirmed hit landing at 3,602x - short of the 5,000x ceiling, but clear evidence the top end genuinely gets reached by real players, not just in theory.
The base game runs a separate, gentler multiplier system - each successful cascade adds a flat +1 rather than doubling - which is a sensible way to keep the base game from feeling as explosive as Free Spins while still rewarding a chain of cascades.
The diamond-shaped 3-4-5-5-4-3 grid is a nice bit of visual and structural distinctiveness on its own - PG Soft's 3,600-ways format gives the middle reels more symbols (and more win potential) than the outer ones, a different shape from the uniform grids most Wild West titles in this catalogue use.
Pros & Cons
What We Liked
- Doubling Free Spins multiplier (8x up to a theoretical 1,024x) is one of the most aggressive compounding mechanics in this catalogue
- Independent tracked-play data confirms real players are hitting 1,000x+ wins, not just theoretical potential
- Distinctive diamond-shaped 3,600-ways grid stands out structurally from more conventional Wild West titles
- Gold-framed Wild transformation and a separate base-game cascade multiplier add real depth outside Free Spins too
Where It Falls Short
- High volatility means longer dry spells between meaningful wins
- 5,000x max win caps well below the multiplier meter's own theoretical 1,024x-and-climbing ceiling
