Bounty Hunter Slot Review

Bounty Hunter Slot Overview

Bounty Hunter from Pragmatic Play puts a classic Wild West money collection idea on a 5x3 set of reels with 20 fixed paylines. Released on 18 September 2025, it runs with high volatility, a 96.51% RTP and a 10,000x max win cap. Stakes vary by market, but you are looking at anything from 20p a spin in UK-style setups up to much higher limits on international versions.

From the first spin I felt that familiar frontier vibe. The creaky town backdrop, wagon frame and cartoon bandits all look bright rather than gritty, with grinning faces and oversized guns giving it a playful tone. The soundtrack mixes gunshots and Western tunes without feeling too heavy, so long sessions stay readable and you can focus on those duels when the Collector shows up.

Bounty Hunter Slot Information

Bounty Hunter plays on 5 reels and 3 rows with wins paid left to right on 20 fixed lines. There is no wild symbol here, which already makes it feel a bit different to many Pragmatic titles I have tried. Low pays are a bundle of dynamite, a revolver, a pair of boots and a cowboy hat, paying around 3x to 5x your bet for five of a kind on a line.

High pays are four criminal characters in different colours. Land five of the same outlaw and you get 20x up to 100x your stake, with the yellow backed hunter sitting at the top of the paytable. The sack of gold acts as the scatter. On top of that you have the key feature pieces, the Collector on reel 1 and the Multiplier on reel 5, while high symbols can carry random cash values.

Gameplay Mechanics of Bounty Hunter

The whole game leans on the Money Collection mechanic. High-paying symbols can land with attached Money Values ranging from 0.5x to 100x the bet. When a Collector symbol lands on the first reel, it expands to cover the whole reel and starts duelling every visible high symbol with a cash value, moving from left to right across the grid.

If the Collector wins a duel, that Money Value drops straight into your balance and a separate collection multiplier increases by one step for the next duel in that spin. Lose and you get nothing from that particular target. Once all showdowns finish, the multiplier goes back to x1. While these duels take place, no regular line wins are paid, so that spin becomes all about the bounty action.

The Multiplier symbol only appears on reel 5 and carries values from x10 up to x100. When it lands alongside a Collector, the first duel is against this Multiplier. Win that and its value becomes the fixed multiplier for any further collections in the same spin, but the multiplier no longer climbs with each success. You can also activate an Ante Bet which increases your stake and guarantees a Collector every spin, turning the base game into constant shootouts.

Bonus Features of Bounty Hunter by Pragmatic Play

Free spins trigger when 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols land anywhere, awarding 8, 12 or 16 spins. The key twist during the bonus is that the collection multiplier from successful duels no longer resets between spins. It can keep climbing to a hard cap of x100, so a streak of winning shootouts can set you up for some very serious totals if Money Values keep landing.

You can retrigger the round with another batch of 3, 4 or 5 scatters, adding the same number of spins as the original trigger. For impatient players, there are two buy options. You can pay 80x your bet for regular free spins with a guaranteed 3 to 5 scatters, or 500x for Super Free Spins, where a Collector is present on reel 1 on every spin. That super version is ultra swingy but can produce hefty hits when the multiplier behaves.

Play for Free  Bounty Hunter Demo Mode

I always recommend running a decent number of spins in demo mode with Bounty Hunter before risking cash. The free version mirrors the real game, so you can test how often Collectors and Multipliers line up, how quickly the bonus lands and how the Ante Bet changes the flow. It is a solid way to get a feel for the duel rhythm and decide which stake levels suit your bankroll, knowing that any wins are virtual.

Pros and Cons of Bounty Hunter

On the numbers side, Bounty Hunter brings a strong default RTP of 96.51% and a hit frequency around 17.5%, so wins are not constant but feel reasonable for a high-volatility title. The 10,000x max win gives enough ceiling to chase without feeling silly, and stakes from 20p up to around £5 are common in the UK, with some markets pushing that as high as 0.20 to 240 in their own currency. The flipside is the variance, the lack of a wild and a very expensive Super Free Spins buy that will chew through careless balances.

Final Verdict on Bounty Hunter

After plenty of test sessions, I would say Bounty Hunter does more than its familiar Wild West skin suggests. The duel-based Money Collection gives the slot a nice hit of tension, and the way multipliers build, especially in free spins, keeps you locked in when the feature starts to heat up. Losing streaks of duels can feel harsh, but that is the trade-off for those explosive spins where everything lines up.

If you enjoy high-volatility money symbol slots and do not mind that there is no wild to help the base game, this one is worth saddling up. I would keep stakes modest, maybe use the regular free spins buy when the balance allows, and leave the Super version for occasions when you are prepared for either a big story or a quick bust. Treated with that respect, Bounty Hunter can be a fun, high-adrenaline ride.
