Bounty County

Bounty County is an online slot from Relax Gaming, set against a Western-themed backdrop. It is designed for players who appreciate games with a rugged, frontier-style atmosphere. The slot also introduces a selection of unique features intended to increase the potential for wins, adding both engagement and the possibility of solid returns during play.

Gameplay Features and Bonuses

The action in Bounty County takes place on a 6×6 grid. The slot comes with an RTP rate of 96.10% and features medium volatility. It uses a Scatter Pays system, meaning wins are triggered by landing at least 4 matching symbols anywhere on the grid.

Special Symbols

Special symbols are activated or destroyed when they are adjacent to winning symbols. Those positioned in the corners are affected when a winning symbol forms in the matching corner. The available Special symbols include:

• Blank Crate: May reveal either a Wild symbol or remain empty.
• Guns Crate: Reveals a gun that delivers 3 to 6 hits to random Bandits or targets a TNT crate.
• TNT Crate: Unleashes either Light TNT (1 hit to all Special symbols in the same row or reel) or Heavy TNT (3 hits to all Special symbols in the same row or reel).
• Cash Bandit: Requires 3 hits to destroy and pays 0.1x, 0.2x, or 0.3x the stake.
• Multiplier Bandit: Also takes 3 hits and increases the total multiplier by 1x.
• Free Spins Bandit: Takes 3 hits. In the base game, it adds 1 Free Spin when the Bonus triggers. During the Bonus itself, it also adds 1 Free Spin.
• Boss Bandit: Only appears during the Bonus feature and requires 6 hits. Payouts vary by size: Small Bosses pay 5x to 15x, Medium Bosses 20x to 75x, and Big Bosses 100x to 500x.

Bonus Features

Destroying all Bandits during a base game spin triggers one of two Bonus rounds: the Bonus or Super Bonus. Players can choose from three difficulty levels:

• Easy Mode: Includes Free Spins Bandits only.
• Medium Mode: Includes both Free Spins and Multiplier Bandits.
• Hard Mode: Includes Multiplier Bandits only.

Double Bet

This feature doubles the stake and increases the hit rate by around 60%. It also more than doubles the chance of triggering a Bonus round, with 2 out of 3 of these resulting in a Super Bonus.

Buy Feature

Players can skip straight to the Bonus rounds via direct purchase:

• Bonus Feature: Available for 50x the total bet.
• Super Bonus Feature: Available for 100x the total bet.

Design and Soundtrack

Bounty County transports players to a Western-themed setting, featuring a desert backdrop complete with rocky hills, scattered cacti, drifting sand, and a cast of cowboy characters positioned to the right of the grid. These visual elements come together to create a well-rendered and immersive atmosphere.

The grid displays a mix of symbols, including wooden-style J–A figures, alongside thematic items such as horseshoes, whiskey bottles, clovers, and three distinct cowboy sheriff characters. This setting is complemented by a fitting soundtrack that reinforces the game's design and mood.

For those interested in slots with similar themes and mechanics, Wild West Gold Blazing Bounty by Pragmatic Play and The Wildos 2 by Thunderkick offer comparable experiences worth considering.

The Bottom Line

Bounty County stands out for its layered feature set, including corner-based Special symbols, Bandits with different effects, and a Scatter Pays mechanic on a 6×6 grid. The Bonus and Super Bonus modes offer strategic variety through selectable difficulty levels, while the Double Bet and Buy Bonus options add flexibility for different play styles.

With randomised hits, multipliers, and progressive destruction mechanics, the game maintains a dynamic pace throughout.
