Play Wanted Dead or a Wild Slot

The Wild West is a theme that never gets old, and Hacksaw Gaming has given it a darker spin in Wanted Dead or a Wild. This slot does a more unsettling, almost eerie take on the frontier. The design avoids the typical dusty town scenes in favour of a darker setting, with a game grid sitting under twisted trees and barbed wire as the sun smoulders in the background. It's a Wild West setting, but not quite as you know it.  

The game plays on a 5x5 grid with 15 fixed paylines. It’s a straightforward setup, but it’s the features where things get really interesting. You can expect to find symbols like liquor bottles, money bags, and bullet chambers, all paired with classic card symbols to fill out the reels. There are also wilds and the VS symbols, which can expand to cover entire reels and boost wins with multipliers. With a stake range starting from 0.20, it’s accessible to a wide range of players. 

Hacksaw Gaming has been making waves in the iGaming world with their creative slot designs, and Wanted Dead or a Wild joins other hits from the provider like Chaos Crew and Stack 'Em. While they’re known for their blend of quirky visuals and engaging features, this game leans into a heavier vibe, making it stand out from the more light-hearted releases.

The symbols in Wanted Dead or a Wild reflect the gritty Western theme. Here’s a quick rundown of the symbols and their respective payouts: 

In addition, Wanted Dead or a Wild also comes with a few special symbols. The first is the Wild, which substitutes for any pay symbol except other special symbols.  

Finally, the VS symbols can land in both the base game and during the Duel at Dawn feature. When these symbols appear, they expand to cover the entire reel and turn wild. Each VS symbol also comes with a random multiplier ranging from x2 to x100. If more than one VS symbol is in view, the multipliers are added together before being applied to any winning combinations. 

Of course, it’s not just about the symbols. There’s also the Wanted Dead or a Wild bonus features to think about. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about them.  

The Great Train Robbery 

Landing three or more Train Robbery symbols triggers The Great Train Robbery feature. This awards ten free spins, and during the feature, any wilds that land on the reels become sticky for the remainder of the round. This increases your chances of potentially landing bigger wins as the free spins progress. 

Duel at Dawn 

The Duel at Dawn bonus feature is triggered by landing three or more Duel symbols, awarding 10 free spins. During this round, more VS symbols are added to the reels, increasing the chances of landing expanding wilds with high multipliers.  

Dead Man’s Hand 

The Dead Man's Hand feature is a two-part bonus round triggered by landing three or more DEAD symbols. In the first phase, you are awarded three spins to collect as many wilds and multipliers as possible. If a wild or multiplier lands, the spins reset to 3. You can potentially collect up to 20 wilds and a x31 multiplier in this phase. When three non-winning spins occur, the second phase begins. In the Showdown, the collected wilds are added to the grid for three spins, and the multipliers apply to any wins. 

If you Wanted Dead or a Wild was right up your alley, you might also want to check out Chaos Crew and Stack 'Em, both by Hacksaw Gaming. These slots come with similarly quirky themes paired with incredible features and are available at BetVictor.
