Wild Bounty Showdown review
Edited by Daniel MorganFounder & Editor
Wild Bounty Showdown is PG Soft's 2022 western slot with six reels of uneven height. It lists a 96.75% RTP, High volatility and a 5,000x top prize. No demo plays on this page. The sections below describe the board, the bonus that opens at x8, the swings to expect and the cost per session.
How to play Wild Bounty Showdown
The board has six reels with different heights: three rows on reels one and six, four rows on reels two and five, and five rows on reels three and four. The shape is tall in the middle and short at the edges.
The story follows Cass, who steals from other bandits and follows a group to a cellar where gold bars are hidden. The studio names Wild symbols, Scatter symbols, free spins, multipliers and Gold Framed Symbols as features. The studio text carries no paytable, so what symbols pay and how wins are formed is outside this review.
Wild Bounty Showdown free spins and multiplier
Collecting three Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins Feature. The rules text does not give the number of spins or a retrigger rule, so the in-game info screen is the place for those.
The multiplier is the heart of the bonus. Every free spin begins with a x8 win multiplier, and during any free spin the multiplier is doubled when one or more winning symbols appear. Starting at eight means that even a first win in the round is already multiplied, which is why the design leans so heavily on the bonus.
x8 starting multiplier
Each free spin opens with a win multiplier of x8, so wins in the round are never paid at face value.
Doubling multiplier
If one or more winning symbols land during a free spin, the win multiplier doubles. The text gives no separate cap on it, but the overall cap of 5,000x the bet still applies.
Gold Framed Symbols
The studio lists Gold Framed Symbols as a feature but its text does not explain what they do, so this review does not describe them.
Wild Bounty Showdown RTP and volatility
Recorded RTP: 96.75%, which gives the house a 3.25% edge. Each $1,000 staked loses $32.50 on average. The High label means long quiet stretches and big swings are built in.
A 100-spin run at $0.20 totals $20 and averages a $0.65 loss; at $1 it totals $100 and averages $3.25; at $5 it totals $500 and averages $16.25. With High volatility, a single run may stray a long way from these means.
Wild Bounty Showdown max win
The top prize is 5,000x the stake: $1,000 at $0.20, $5,000 at $1 and $25,000 at $5. For a High volatility slot that is a modest ceiling, so the bonus multipliers work under a fairly low limit.
Wild Bounty Showdown vs similar slots
No sequel is recorded. Games with matching numbers include Mystical Spirits (2023) at 96.75% with High volatility and 5,000x, Shark Bounty (2024) at 96.75% and 5,000x, Forge of Wealth at 96.74% and Songkran Splash at 96.65%. Extra Juicy Megaways lists 96.42% and Reel Rush 2 lists 96.58% with 4,800x.
Pros
- Every free spin starts at a x8 win multiplier
- The multiplier doubles when winning symbols land
- Uneven reel heights make the board distinctive
Cons
- No demo on this page
- High volatility brings wide swings in a session
- The 5,000x ceiling is low next to many other PG Soft titles
- The spin count and any retrigger rule are not in the studio text
Verdict
Wild Bounty Showdown is High volatility with a bonus that opens at x8 and doubles when winning symbols land, all inside a 5,000x ceiling. RTP is 96.75% and the house edge 3.25%. It fits only those who accept long swings, and who set a firm budget in advance, because the figures describe averages and not any particular session.
