What Is Epic Bullets and Bounty?

Epic Bullets and Bounty brings bounty hunter Quick Draw Kate O'Callaghan back for a considerably higher-stakes rematch, expanding on the original Bullets and Bounty with moodier visuals built around wood textures, rope framing and flashes of lightning in the background. Where the original leaned gentle and approachable, this entry pushes everything further.

The grid runs on a 5-reel, 5-row layout with 19 fixed paylines, one row taller than the original release, giving DuelReels considerably more room to expand across. Card ranks and gunslinger-themed premium symbols fill out the paytable alongside the VS and Bounty VS symbols that drive the entire feature set.

Upgraded DuelReels and the Buyable Epic Bonus

How the Core Mechanic Was Pushed Further

DuelReels work on the same foundation as the original: VS and Bounty VS symbols expand into full Wild reels, generating multipliers that apply directly to the resulting win, with multiple DuelReels appearing in the same sequence having their multipliers added together. The core idea carries over intact, but everything around it runs hotter — the official volatility rating climbs to a full 5 out of 5, and the taller grid gives duels considerably more surface area to chain across in a single spin.

Three Free Spins Tiers and the Epic Bonus

Three scatters trigger the standard free spins tier, carrying over the original's progressive bounty hunter multiplier system. Four scatters unlock a four-shot feature, adding an external progression bar that unlocks stronger duel sequences as it fills. Five scatters reveal the Hidden Epic bonus, starting at an already-advanced duel level and combining both multiplier systems from the lower tiers into one considerably more generous round. A gamble upgrade option, new to this entry, lets players risk a smaller guaranteed outcome for a shot at pushing further into the bonus structure.

The Epic Bonus can be purchased directly, with the top-tier buy priced at a considerable 1,000x the stake — described by reviewers as aggressive even by Hacksaw's own standards, reflecting just how much value the Epic Bonus packs relative to the lower-tier buys.

RTP, Volatility and the Realistic Odds

RTP configurations run at 96.24%, 94.28% and 92.25% depending on the operator. Volatility is rated a full 5 out of 5, considerably higher than the original Bullets and Bounty's gentle 2/5, and a 32.7% hit frequency reflects a game built for players chasing bigger, less frequent swings.

The 20,000x max win is most realistically chased through the directly purchased Epic Bonus, where the already-advanced starting duel level gives the combined multiplier system its best possible conditions from the very first spin. Bets run 0.10 to 50 per spin.

Players who enjoyed the original should naturally also try Bullets and Bounty, the gentler, lower-volatility release this entry directly builds on. Fans of a buyable top-tier Epic Bonus specifically might also appreciate Hot Ross's own premium 1,000x direct-access option.
