Sheriff Wilds Add Their Values

Forty fixed paylines run across five reels and three rows. Matching outlaws and Western symbols form line wins, while the Sheriff Wild substitutes for eligible pays and lands with a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier.

If more than one Sheriff Wild contributes to the same winning line, their multipliers are added together before that line is settled. The values do not multiply each other, and a Sheriff still needs a qualifying combination around its position to affect a payout.

Three Scatters start eight free spins. Two to five additional Scatters during the feature award four to twenty more spins, while multiplier Wilds remain sticky until the round ends and then clear before the next base-game spin.

Sticky Multipliers Across Free Spins

  • Sheriff mult: Each Wild carries a 2x, 3x or 5x value.
  • Added values: Several contributing Wild multipliers combine through addition.
  • Sticky bonus: Multiplier Wilds stay fixed during the free-spins round.
  • Eight spins: Three Scatters open the feature with eight spins.
  • Spin extras: Bonus Scatters can add four to twenty rounds.
  • Fixed lines: All forty paylines remain the underlying win paths.

Payout Concentration in Retained Wilds

Value is concentrated where sticky Sheriff Wilds occupy reels that repeatedly connect with matching symbols. Their multipliers add on a shared line, but isolated Wilds or nonqualifying symbol layouts can leave a visually strong bonus screen with limited actual return.

Retriggers create more attempts to reuse retained multipliers, making bonus duration an important condition. Extra spins do not increase a payout automatically; they only extend the period in which existing Wild positions may meet suitable symbols across the forty lines.

High volatility and the x10,000 maximum indicate that the upper range depends on a sustained feature state rather than ordinary base spins alone. The limitation is positional: sticky multipliers cannot move, so poorly located Wilds remain poorly located throughout the round.

Player fit and limitations

  • Sticky values: Suits players tracking retained multipliers across bonus spins.
  • Added math: Suits players distinguishing addition from multiplier products.
  • Fixed position: A sticky Sheriff cannot move to another reel cell.
  • Bonus gate: Persistent multipliers require the free-spins feature first.
