Getting Started

Press the 'Stake Up' and 'Stake Down' buttons to choose a stake per line.

Press the 'Lines' button to choose how many lines (1 to 20) you would like to play. Your selected stake per line will be multiplied by the number of lines you choose to play.

The total amount you have staked will be shown in the TOTAL STAKE box at the bottom right of the screen.

Click on the 'Paytable' button to view the paytable, which shows the potential winnings for each reel combination, scatters, bonuses etc.

How To Play

Press 'Play' to start the game.

The reels will spin and eventually stop at random.

If the combination of symbols appearing on the reels forms a line of 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on one of the lines you selected to play, you win. Any winning lines you have will be highlighted and your winnings will be credited to your account balance.

Showdown Bonus game and Progressive Jackpot

The Showdown bonus game is triggered by the Cowboy (Billy The Quid) appearing anywhere on the left reel and the Bandit King appearing anywhere on the right reel.

There is no line win attached to this Showdown scatter win - only entry to the bonus game, which itself guarantees a bonus win.

When the game enters the bonus round, the scene is outside a saloon in a Wild West town. Shoot as many bandits as you can in this game and win a cash reward for each bandit you shoot. You have two options here - you can either play the game yourself in 'Manual Fire' mode, where you must click on the screen wherever the bandits appear in order to take them out, or play in 'Auto Fire' mode, where Billy The Quid will do the shooting for you.

To play in 'Manual Fire' mode, click on the 'Manual Fire' button to enter the game. Each time a bandit runs across the screen, appears at a window inside the saloon or pops up to take a pop at you from any other hiding place, you must click anywhere on the bandit's body to shoot him. For each bandit you shoot, an award will be displayed in the bottom left of the screen.

You have unlimited bullets, but only 6 bullets available at a time, after which the game will automatically re-load your pistol for you. You cannot fire while it is re-loading.

See how many bandits you can shoot before the Bandit King shows up and challenges you to a showdown. How long he takes to show up will vary from game to game.

To play in 'Auto Fire' mode, press the 'Auto Fire' button, and just sit back and watch as Billy The Quid cleans up the town! He'll do his best to get as many bandits as he can - but remember even Billy will not hit them all.

At the end of the shoot-out, the game will finish and move on to the Showdown scene. Just watch as Billy takes on the Bandit King (caught red-handed after robbing the town!) and wait to see what's in the villain's bag of loot. You will score a cash reward for all the gold and gems in the swag bag.

If you find 3 diamonds in the swag bag, you win the Progressive Jackpot - as displayed on the counter in the top centre of the screen. The chance of winning the jackpot is directly linked to the stake.

The jackpot start value is funded by the operator. A percentage of all bets placed is put towards the jackpot balance and into a reseed fund. When the jackpot is won, it is reset to the balance stored in the reseed fund.

When the jackpot is won all other players will be notified within 30 seconds by the flashing of the jackpot balance.

Bets placed when the jackpot has been won and a reduced balance is available will be voided.

Due to communication delays two players may nevertheless appear to win the jackpot simultaneously. In this case the first payout will be for the full jackpot value, whilst the second player will receive the reseed value.

After the Showdown, a summary of your winnings will be displayed before returning to the reels.

Gamble Win

The 'Gamble' button can be toggled On and Off. When ON after each reel win you will have the opportunity to gamble your winnings. When OFF no gamble will take place.

All your winnings from the last spin are gambled (if you are playing Gamble Win after winning in one or more bonus games, these winnings are gambled too).

If you change your mind at this stage, you can still press 'Collect' to collect all your winnings and return to the main game, or 'Collect Half' to collect half of your winnings and play the gamble game with the remaining half.

You will be able to play the Gamble Win game and gamble your bonus winnings if you have just won on any bonus round, but you cannot play Gamble Win after winning the Progressive Jackpot.

In the gamble game, you will have a choice of 6 bets as to what the next card drawn will be - red or black, or which specific suit. You may only place one bet.

Press the appropriate button for the bet you wish to make. The card is then turned over.

If you guessed correctly, your winnings are doubled for red/black bets and quadrupled for specific suit bets.

If you guessed incorrectly, your winnings total will return to 0.00 and after a few seconds the screen will return to the normal game screen.

If you win, you may repeat the gamble on the next card (and then subsequent cards) or you may collect all or half your winnings. You can continue playing the Gamble Win game until your potential winnings exceed the maximum win limit.

You can keep collecting half until your balance is less than double the minimum stake level. After that you must either bet or collect all.

All cards are dealt from a new pack - so the card that came up in the previous gamble could be the same card in the next one (so it is always an equal bet).

Gold Prospector Bonus Game

If 3, 4 or 5 Gold Prospector symbols appear as a scatter on the reels, you will enter the Gold Prospector bonus game. According to whether you had 3, 4 or 5 symbols, you will get 3, 4 or 5 attempts to find gold.

The number of attempts you have left will be displayed at the bottom of the screen throughout the game.

A map will be unrolled on the screen and you must select a square on the map grid where you want the Gold Prospector to dig for gold. He will dig in that square, and you will receive an award if that square contains gold nuggets. If you just find rocks, you win nothing for that attempt.

Once you have used up all your attempts at digging for gold, the game will display a summary of your winnings and any awards will be credited to your account. The game will then return to the reels.

In-reels Gunfight Bonus Game

The In-reels Gunfight Bonus game is a special bonus win triggered by the Cowboy appearing anywhere on the left reel and a bandit appearing anywhere on any other reel.

The game is played automatically on the reels - watch as Billy The Quid attempts to shoot each bandit on the reels, and win a reward for each bandit he hits.

If you win, your winnings will be credited to your account as soon as the reward is displayed on screen.

Auto Play

By selecting 'Auto Play' you can choose to play up to 25 spins automatically, one after the other.

Select your stake and the number of lines you wish to play, then press the 'Auto Play' button to select the number of 'Auto Play' spins you want before clicking the 'Play' button.

You can stop Auto Play from continuing onto the next spin by clicking the 'STOP AUTO' button which appears briefly between spins and will stop the autoplay. While in AutoPlay any wins will be collected automatically rather than going to the gamble game.

AutoPlay will turn off if you gain access into any bonus round.
