The Wildest Slot
in the West
Released by Hacksaw Gaming, Wanted Dead or a Wild exploded onto the scene and became one of the most-streamed slots in the world. Set against a blood-tinged twilight sky and a lawless frontier, this is the slot that made Hacksaw a household name in Australian casinos.
The game’s signature mechanic is the DuelReels™ — triggered by landing VS symbols, two outlaws face off. The winner’s multiplier applies to the whole reel, stacking with any payline wins that pass through it. One duel can transform a dead spin into a colossal payout.
“Wanted Dead or a Wild has a hit rate of ~19% — around every 5th spin is a winner. But the real action is in the three bonus rounds. When Dead Man’s Hand triggers, the reels erupt in wilds and multipliers.”
All Features &
Bonus Rounds
The VS symbol triggers DuelReels™ — it expands to cover the entire reel as a wild, with a random multiplier attached. When two VS symbols appear, their multipliers are added then multiplied together — creating potential for 100× reel multipliers in a single base-game spin. Both outlaws draw; both multipliers apply to wins passing through them.
Adds + Multiplies
Up to ×100 Reel
Triggered by landing 3+ Duel scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. You receive 10 Free Spins with sticky wild reels. Any VS symbol that lands becomes a sticky wild, staying in position for subsequent spins. Lower volatility bonus — the most consistent of the three. RTP: 96.27%.
Sticky Wilds
Buy at 80× Stake
10 Free Spins with additional VS symbols added to the reel set. More VS symbols means more expanding wilds, more multipliers, and dramatically more chances at the big DuelReels™ stacks. Significantly more volatile than Train Robbery — this is where most 1,000×+ sessions happen. RTP: 96.33%.
More Multipliers
Buy at 200× Stake
The rarest and most volatile feature. 5 spins where the entire grid can erupt with VS symbols and multipliers. The max win of 12,500× is achieved almost exclusively in Dead Man’s Hand. Extreme variance — expect either nothing or something jaw-dropping. RTP: 96.43%.

Wanted Dead or a Wild FAQ
WinShark Casino Australia
❓ What is Wanted Dead or a Wild and who made it?
Wanted Dead or a Wild is a Wild West themed video slot developed by Hacksaw Gaming. It features a 5×5 grid with 15 paylines, and was the first slot to introduce the DuelReels™ mechanic. It plays at up to RTP 96.38% and is available at WinShark Casino Australia for real AUD play with bets from A$0.20 per spin.
❓ How does DuelReels™ work?
DuelReels™ is triggered when VS symbols land on the reels. Each VS expands to cover the full reel as a wild, with a multiplier (e.g. ×3). If two VS symbols land simultaneously, their multipliers are first added (3+4=7), then multiplied by the payline win. Multiple VS symbols on adjacent reels create enormous multiplier stacks — this is the mechanic responsible for Wanted’s biggest documented wins.
❓ What are the three bonus rounds in Wanted Dead or a Wild?
There are three unique bonus features: (1) The Great Train Robbery — 10 free spins with sticky wilds (lowest volatility, buy at 80×); (2) Duel at Dawn — 10 free spins with extra VS symbols in the reel set (medium-high volatility, buy at 200×); (3) Dead Man’s Hand — 5 extreme spins with maximum wild coverage and multiplier potential (highest volatility, buy at 400×). The max win of 12,500× is most achievable in Dead Man’s Hand.
❓ Is the RTP always 96.38% at WinShark Casino?
Hacksaw Gaming allows casinos to run Wanted Dead or a Wild at different RTP settings — the full version is 96.38%, but reduced versions at 94.55%, 92.33% or 88.42% also exist. Always check the game’s paytable or info screen at WinShark Casino before playing to confirm which RTP version is active. The highest setting (96.38%) offers the best long-term value for Australian players.
