Bounty Hunter Unchained (Blueprint) Slot Demo & Review

The Western slot genre has been responsible for some of the best and most volatile online slot games ever created. Such is the success of these slots that providers continue to develop them, with Blueprint Gaming being the latest to add another to their portfolio with the release of the Bounty Hunter Unchained slot. After a run-through of the stats, I can share this is a 6-reel slot with up to 10,000 ways to win, an RTP of 96.12%, and a maximum win of 50,000x bet.

Key to all action in the game is the Bounty Hunter Wild that appears in the top tracker reel. This acts as a persistent wild and transforms all high paying symbols into wilds when they combine to form a win. Two bonus rounds can be triggered, too, with the Bounty Hunter free spins activated when 3 or 4 scatters land in view and the Unchained free spins coming into play if 5 or 6 scatters appear on the reels. A win multiplier is activated during these bonuses, increasing in value each time a winning combo is formed. In the Unchained free spins, all wanted wilds created will remain active throughout the bonus.

With all the Wild West online slots you must have played over the years, we’re guessing you must be one hell of a sharpshooter by now. However, if you’re a little rusty and need some practice, head down to our Bounty Unchained slot demo; it’s free to play below.

As I mentioned in the introduction, the Old West has been the inspiration for some of the greatest slot games to hit our screens. I mean, where do you even start in this genre? We have the game that arguably started the whole phenomenon in NetEnt’s Dead or Alive slot, then Pragmatic Play developed the hugely popular Wild West Gold slot, and Relax Gaming smashed the genre out of the park, especially with their Money Train 4 slot, which features a massive 150,000x maximum win. I think it’s fair to say that Blueprint’s Bounty Hunter Unchained slot has some stiff competition in this niche, so over we go to the pays section to see how it shapes up in this department.

The premium paying symbols in the game are all represented by some fierce-looking outlaws, and there are five in total, rewarding between 1x – 5x for a winning combination of six. Dropping onto the low pays, we have five traditional royal symbols, with the Ace and King paying 0.4x if a winning line of six hits, whilst the Queen, Jack, and Ten all pay 0.3x for a six of a kind win.

There are nine bets available to play Bounty Hunter Unchained at, which doesn’t sound like many, but somehow Blueprint has managed to space these out enough to provide a decent enough selection for players to choose from. These range from a minimum of €0.20 a spin up to a maximum €10.


Bounty Hunter Unchained Slot Base Game

The Bounty Hunter Unchained slot is played over a 4x5x5x5x5x4 reel configuration, which gives a total of 10,000 paylines. Players are awarded a win when at least three matching symbols land on adjacent reels.


Cascading Reels & Blocker Symbols

Each win that is formed will cause the winning symbols to explode, activating the cascading reels mechanic. New symbols will then fall from above to fill the spaces that have been left behind. Additionally, you will note that some positions on the reels are covered by Woden crates (blocker symbols) and winning symbols that explode near these all make them reveal a symbol and increase the number of ways to win.


Bounty Hunter

The Bounty Hunter symbol can only appear on the upper tracker above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. This symbol is persistent and will never be removed during reel cascades. If the hunter forms any win with one of the outlaws, the outlaw will become a wanted wild with a fixed multiplier value.

Two bonus features can be triggered. The Bounty Hunter free spins are activated when 3 or 4 scatters land in view, awarding 6 and 8 spins, respectively, and the Unchained Free Spins when 5 or 6 scatters appear, awarding 10 and 12 spins, respectively.


Bounty Hunter Free Spins Feature

The bonus will begin with a win multiplier of 1x in play, increasing in value by a further x1 for every reel cascade that occurs. Any Wanted Wilds created will not be held over between losing spins. Players may also be awarded up to 2 extra spins for each scatter symbol that lands in view.


Unchained Free Spins

This feature plays the same as the Bounty Hunter bonus, but all Wanted Wilds created will remain active throughout the bonus.


Bonus Buy

Those who can access the feature buy may purchase the Bounty Hunter bonus for 80x bet and the Unchained bonus for 250x.


Pros

  • A well presented take on the Wild West theme.
  • The persistent wild is a nice touch.

Cons

  • It's very similar to a Megawas slot whilst not actually being one.
  • It can be a little tricky to hit more than 4 scatters without the feature buy.

Bounty Hunter Unchained Slot Review Final Thoughts
