A few hundred spins with nothing is normal here. I only play on the minimum bet.

How the DuelReels work
This was the first Hacksaw game with the DuelReels mechanic. It is triggered by the VS symbol, which expands into a full wild reel if, once expanded, it forms part of a win.
On that reel two gunslingers face off. The winner's multiplier applies to the whole reel. When several wild reels form the same win, their multipliers are added together.
Three bonus rounds
Each round works differently, so learn how they differ before you buy a bonus.
- Duel at Dawn gives a much better chance of several VS symbols at once, even on five DuelReels.
- Dead Man's Hand has two phases. First you collect wilds and multipliers, then in the Showdown phase they land in random spots on every spin.
- The Great Train Robbery is a free spins round where every wild stays on the reels until the round ends.
You can go straight into any of the rounds with Bonus Buy if the casino offers it.
Wanted Dead or a Wild volatility
Hacksaw rates the volatility at 4 out of 5. The game can stay quiet for a long time, and most of the payout comes from the bonus. Start with the demo and see how often VS turns up.

Which bonus round is the best?
Reply from the editors
Each one works differently. Duel at Dawn gives the most VS symbols, Dead Man's Hand collects wilds and multipliers in two phases, and in The Great Train Robbery every wild stays until the end of the round. All of them lead to the same 12,500x cap.

Duel at Dawn is the one I get most. Great Train Robbery with sticky wilds I've seen maybe twice, but it was worth watching.
Marcus
First 200 spins almost nothing, then one duel paid it all back and then some. Not a game for the faint hearted.

Two VS reels in one spin with 20x and 50x multipliers. You remember moments like that for a long time.
