Provider page and demo
This preview does not embed or autoplay gameplay. Open the provider page for its published rules and any play option it currently offers. The page does not confirm that an unnamed casino carries this game or which version it uses.
Three bonuses, three different sequences
Hacksaw lists The Great Train Robbery, Duel at Dawn and Dead Man’s Hand. In the train feature, landed Wilds are sticky and can contribute again. Duel at Dawn can show multiple VS symbols. Dead Man’s Hand first collects Wilds and multipliers, then places them in a later Showdown phase. Treat each as a separate rules path; a bonus title alone does not tell you its result.
Two reels turn into a duel
The 5×5 game has 15 paylines. Its DuelReels feature begins with VS symbols that expand into Wild reels if the expansion forms part of a winning combination. The outlaws then resolve a duel; the winner's multiplier applies to wins that pass through that reel. The mechanic is conditional on the symbol sequence, not an automatic multiplier on every spin.
A DuelReels sequence
A VS symbol lands, then the reel expands into a Wild reel only if the expanded result forms part of a winning combination. The duel resolves and its winner's multiplier applies to wins passing through that reel. A VS symbol by itself is not a promise of a multiplier on every spin.
RTP options and volatility
The official page lists 96.38%, 94.55%, 92.33% and 88.42% RTP options, volatility 4/5 and a 12,500× maximum win. RTP is a theoretical long-run figure, while volatility describes distribution. Neither one describes the result of a particular round. Bonus-buy presence and price are not treated as universal here.
