Bounty Hunters Slot Review
As Bounty Hunters slot comes to us from Nolimit City, that should tell you a few things; one of which is that this will be a loooooong review. So I will keep this intro short and sweet so we can get on with it.
Here’s an interesting fact about Duane Chapman, otherwise known as “Dog the Bounty Hunter” – he bailed Nicholas Cage out of jail after the latter’s arrest for domestic abuse, disturbing the peace, and public drunkenness but refused to be interviewed about the incident. Isn’t that nice?
What’s also nice – no, strike that; what’s also incredible and will blow your mind – is the multiplier and max win you’ll find in Nolimit City’s latest. Read on, dudes and dudettes.
Gameplay
I get as giddy as a virgin on her wedding night whenever Nolimit City releases a new game and this time is no exception. While the theme of Bounty Hunters slot isn’t nearly as edgy as some of the other doozies they’ve come up with, I’m sure it’ll be hectic nonetheless.
The studio has kept to its extreme volatility preference and that’ll come as no surprise when you see what’s on offer in this game: a 52,310x multiplier that I’d kill for, and a top prize worth €313,860.
Fire up the game and you’ll see that aesthetically, it’s very… normal. There are wide open spaces, a babe with a six-shooter, and a 5x3-reel grid. Hmmm, interesting. There are 243 paylines in play, along with a 96.07% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate..
Bounty hunters accept all forms of currency so you can play with the crypto or fiat your heart desires.
Features
Landing 3 Scatters on reels 2, 4, and 4 will award the Raid Spin feature. If you land Bonus symbols on the same row as 3 Scatters, that’ll award the Showdown Spin round. Bonus symbols only land on reels 1 and 5, or on the middle reel during Mexican Standoff.
RAID SPINS:
The play area will transform into a 4x5 grid; in the center, you’ll see Bosses and Thugs land. There are also reels that are 5 symbols high to either side, along with a 4-reel row at the bottom of the grid that’s flanked by Hunters.
You’ll receive 3 spins to kick things off, and the counter resets to 3 whenever a Thug/Boss lands.
Thugs:
Thugs have a coin value of 1 to 25
Any Thug with a Hunter in front of it will have its value collected and the Thug will be deemed deceased. Failing which, the Thug will carry over to the next spin
Hunters:
- Hunters have multiplier values of up to 12x
- Hunters collect coin values from Thugs and Bosses. The values will be multiplied by the Hunter’s multiplier and added to the win multiplier
- A Hunter’s multiplier value will increase by a factor of 1 for the next spin whenever they collect
Bosses:
- Have a coin value of 1 to 5
- Boss symbols upgrade in the order that they land
- Boss 1: adds the coin values of Thugs and Bosses to its own coin value for a spin
- Boss 2: adds its own coin value to all of the Thug coin values for a spin
- Boss 3: a group of Thugs from the same category are randomly selected. Their coin values will be multiplied by a multiplier value starting from 2x, and this multiplier will be increased by 1x for each Thug selected
SHOWDOWN:
The grid changes into a 5x5 reel area and Thugs may land in the center. Also, you might see a Hard Honcho Boss in the middle position. Similar to the Raid Spin feature, you’ll find 5-row high reels to the left and right, and a 5-reel row at the bottom with a Hunter to each side.
The action starts with the Hard Head Honcho surrounded by 12 Thugs and you’ll get 3 re-spins to begin with the counter being reset each time a Thug lands in the play area.
The Hard Head Honcho starts with a 6x coin value and behaves like any of the Bosses mentioned earlier (he can change characteristics with each spin).
- If he acts like Boss 1: then the Hard Head Honcho’s coin value will increase accordingly and not reset
- If he acts like Boss 2: then he will always add a 6x coin value to all of the Thugs’ coin values
- If he acts like Boss 3: then he acts just like I previously mentioned
BOUNTY HUNTER WILD:
Our Wild appears fully expanded (newbies, that means it will take over an entire reel) and it does so on reels 2, 3, and 4. Wilds will always nudge to be fully visible if they don’t land perfectly. Each nudge will boost the symbol’s multiplier by +1.
A FEW DOLLARS MORE:
This feature is triggered once you land fully stacked Bounty Hunter Wilds on reels 2, 3, or 4. All of these Wilds will now be sticky for the duration of a re-spin and you’ll get additional re-spins for each newly-landed Wild during the feature.
MEXICAN STANDOFF:
Hitting a Bonus symbol on the same row of reels 1 and 5 will initiate this round. That selfsame row will get a re-spin (the others are deactivated) and Bonus symbols transform into sticky Wilds with 6x multipliers.
Newly-landed Wilds will behave as sticky Wilds and also get that 6x multiplier. Furthermore, you’ll get additional re-spins for any Bonus symbols you land during the round.
These symbols will act as Wilds for the next re-spin and also become sticky until the feature ends. And they’ll award a 6x multiplier for the next re-spin. Damn! That’s a lot going on there!
ANTE BET:
Known in this game as the xBet, your stake will be increased by 200% but in return, you’ll significantly increase your chances of triggering the different features.
BUY BONUS:
You’ve got a couple of options to choose from here:
- Mexican Standoff: 136x your bet
- Raid Spins: 100x your bet
- Showdown Spins: 850x your bet
- Lucky Draw (could end up with the Raid Spins or Showdown Spins): 175x your bet
I had no performance issues, but note that the game times out after only a short time.
Maximum Win
Have you ever seen a 52,310x multiplier on a slot game before? It’s as rare as hen’s teeth but Bounty Hunters slot has it going on! It means you could walk away €313,860 richer and you only have to bet at a maximum of €6 for the privilege. Now that’s a no-brainer!
The lowest bet you can place is €0.20 but seriously, why bother?
Conclusion
Bounty Hunters slot is, unsurprisingly, a hard nut to crack. Firstly, there’s that extreme volatility rate. Next are the intricate and many-layered features to get your head around.
It’s also notoriously tough to trigger a feature during the base game which gives me the impression we’re being manhandled into using the Buy Bonus.
And don’t think that by choosing the Lucky Draw you’ll score a Shadow Spins round and save yourself plenty of money. I’m not saying it won’t happen, but it sure ain’t gonna be easy.
This is definitely not a game now for those who’ve just started with online slots, and not even for players who have just gotten their feet wet. Bounty Hunters slot is for die-hard, tough-as-nails high-rollers who know their sh*t and are ready for one helluva challenge.
