- A fun and rather unique western slot from Relax Gaming
- Uses a pay anywhere system with cascades
- Super bonus can lead to some much bigger wins
Bounty County brings the Wild West to life with grit, grit, and gunpowder. Developed by Relax Gaming, the studio known for hits like Money Train, this title builds on the studio’s reputation for inventive mechanics and premium design.
With a compact 4×4 grid for base gameplay surrounded by a 6×6 board packed with explosive crates and deadly bandits, Bounty County offers something genuinely different. Wins are powered by a Pay Anywhere mechanic, and the game’s focus is on cascading wins, multiplier escalation, and shooting down bandits to trigger bonus modes.
Bounty County Slot Bonuses and Features
Pay Anywhere with Cascades. The core mechanic requires 4 or more matching symbols in the 4×4 Inner Symbol Area to score a win. Winning symbols explode, triggering cascades and giving way to new symbols. If adjacent to a crate, that crate explodes and may reveal one of many Special Symbols. Crates themselves do not cascade.
Bandits and Crates. At the start of every spin, 5 to 7 Bandits appear in the Special Symbol Area. Each has a health bar showing how many hits they can take before being eliminated. Destroying all Bandits in a spin triggers either the Bonus or Super Bonus round.
During Free Spins, undestroyed Bandits persist, carrying over between spins until taken out.
Special Symbols (Crates). Special symbols are revealed by exploding adjacent crates and offer the following effects:
- Blank Crate – May reveal nothing or a wild.
- Guns Crate – Fires 3–6 shots at random Bandits or reveals a TNT Crate.
- TNT Crate – Contains Light or Heavy TNT, damaging rows or columns respectively.
- Cash Bandit – Pays 0.10x–0.30x and takes 3 hits.
- Multiplier Bandit – Adds +1 to the Global Multiplier, also takes 3 hits.
- Free Spins Bandit – Awards +1 free spin; takes 3 hits.
- Boss Bandit (Bonus rounds only) – Requires 6 hits. Payouts vary:
- Small Boss: 5x–15x
- Medium Boss: 20x–75x
- Big Boss: 100x–500x
Bonus & Super Bonus. Triggered by defeating all Bandits in a single spin. You then choose difficulty:
- Easy – Free Spins Bandits only
- Medium – Free Spins + Multiplier Bandits
- Hard – Multiplier Bandits only
Starts with 6 Free Spins and a 1x multiplier (or carries over your current multiplier if higher). Bandits persist across spins and Boss Bandits may appear one at a time. Defeating a Boss awards its prize and +3 free spins. There’s no spin cap.
If the bonus was triggered with either a Free Spin Bandit or a Multiplier Bandit, it becomes a Super Bonus, which statistically offers better outcomes.
Bonus Buy (where permitted). Players can buy:
- Bonus Round – 50x the bet
- Super Bonus Round – 100x the bet
Bonus Buy increases RTP to 96.50%.
Conclusion
Bounty County might not aim as high as Relax Gaming’s Money Train franchise in terms of max win (capped at 5,000x), but it brings something genuinely fresh to the Western-themed slot lineup. The Pay Anywhere mechanic paired with cascades, crate-based interactions, and persistent bandit gameplay results in a volatile and unpredictable experience—with a decent blend of strategy and spectacle. I found it refreshing, especially for a theme that’s so overdone, and I’d love to see more of it. Hopefully they’ll consider a sequel and turn it into another big franchise like Money Train 4 slot.
