Wanted Dead or a Wild review: the first DuelReels slot, with 2x to 100x wild reels and a 12,500x cap

Wanted Dead or a Wild is the Hacksaw slot that introduced DuelReels, on a 5x5 grid with 15 paylines and a 12,500x cap. Hacksaw rates it 4/5 on the game page and 5/5 on its slots list. The standard RTP is 96.38%, with lower versions at 94.55%, 92.33% and 88.42%.

How Wanted Dead or a Wild pays

A VS symbol that can join a win expands into a wild reel with two outlaws on it. The survivor’s multiplier, 2x to 100x, covers the whole reel. Two or more DuelReels on one line add their multipliers before they hit the win.

Wanted Dead or a Wild bonus games

The Great Train Robbery gives 10 free spins with sticky wilds. Duel at Dawn gives 10 free spins loaded with extra VS symbols, and Hacksaw calls it your best shot at the max win.

Dead Man’s Hand runs in two phases. First you collect wilds and multipliers until three dead spins in a row. Then three showdown spins drop every collected wild on the grid and multiply all wins by the total.

The 12,500x cap is reachable in the base game, Duel at Dawn and Dead Man’s Hand. The Great Train Robbery can’t get there.

Wanted Dead or a Wild bonus buy

All three bonuses can be bought. Bought rounds return 96.27% for The Great Train Robbery, 96.33% for Duel at Dawn and 96.43% for Dead Man’s Hand. Gamdom lists the game as Wanted and also runs Wanted Boosted, a 97.49% build.
