Bounty County

Relax Gaming rides into the Wild West with Bounty County, a June 2025 release that swaps the studio’s usual polish for gunsmoke, wanted posters and a saloon-tinted 6x6 grid. It is a scatter-pays affair rather than a paylines slot, and it wears its theme well: bandits line the frame, crates litter the reels, and every spin feels like a shootout waiting to kick off. If you have enjoyed Relax’s more mechanical grid slots, this one will feel instantly familiar, just with more dust and dynamite.

The setup is a 6x6 grid where the regular symbols cluster into the inner 4x4 area, while the outer ring is reserved for bandits and special crates. Land 4 or more matching symbols anywhere and they pay, cascade away, and make room for new ones. Volatility sits in the medium band, which is a touch friendlier than the studio’s more punishing titles, and the RTP ships in the usual Relax tiers: a headline 96.10%, with cut-down 94% and 86% versions that operators can select, so it is worth checking which flavour your casino is serving before you saddle up. The bonus-buy RTP nudges slightly higher to 96.50%.

The heart of the game is the bandit-clearing mechanic. Special symbols around the play area do the heavy lifting: Gun Crates spray bullets to damage bandits, TNT Crates blast through whole rows and columns, and Blank Crates can quietly reveal a Wild. Clear all the bandits and you unlock the free spins round, and here is the clever twist. You choose your difficulty. Easy leans on extra spins, Hard skews toward multipliers, and Medium splits the difference. It is a neat bit of player agency that lets you tune the round to your own appetite for risk, and defeating bosses inside the feature can hand out chunky rewards enhanced by a global unlimited multiplier.

That unlimited multiplier is where the ceiling lives. The max win is capped at 5,000x the bet. That is a respectable figure and a genuinely reachable-feeling target given the multiplier mechanics, but it is worth being honest: this is not a 20,000x or 50,000x monster in the modern high-volatility mould. Relax has aimed for a slot that pays with reasonable frequency and gives you a fighting chance at a good session, rather than one that dangles a life-changing but near-mythical jackpot. For a lot of players that is the more enjoyable trade.

For those who would rather not grind their way through the bandits, two bonus buys are on offer: a standard Bonus at 50x the stake and a Super Bonus at 100x. There is also a Double Bet toggle with a very high hit frequency that raises your bonus-trigger odds, a sensible middle ground between buying in outright and waiting on natural triggers, which land roughly once every 60 spins.

Presentation is strong throughout, with characterful bandit art, satisfying crate explosions and a soundtrack that leans into the spaghetti-western mood without overstaying its welcome. It is not reinventing the genre, but it is a confident, well-built grid slot with a genuinely fresh bonus-selection hook.

SlotWhizz rating: 3.5/5.

Like every slot, Bounty County carries a built-in house edge, so the maths favours the casino over time no matter which RTP tier you play. Set a budget, treat the 5,000x ceiling as a bonus rather than an expectation, and stop when the fun does.
