Gunslinger Reloaded Slot Overview
Gunslinger Reloaded is a Wild West themed video slot from Play'n GO, built on a 5x3 grid with 25 fixed paylines. Released in October 2018, the game runs at a default RTP of 96.67% with medium volatility and a 5,000x max win. A progressive jackpot sits on top of that cap, tied directly to a card-collecting mechanic that fires during base play.
From a math perspective, the numbers tell you this is a session-friendly slot. Medium variance keeps the swings manageable, and the bonus triggers roughly every 107 spins on average. Bets range from 0.25 to 100 per spin, so the spread covers casual and mid-stakes players comfortably. I find the lack of a bonus buy notable for a game with this many features.
Symbols and Paytable
Payouts across the 25 lines follow a standard hierarchy. Card symbols (10, J, Q, K, A) pay between 2x and 6x your stake for five of a kind. These low-value symbols serve a dual purpose; each winning card combination is collected and tracked toward the Shoot the Card bonus. That secondary function makes every small win relevant to the broader session EV.
Premium symbols include pistols at 12x, the lady at 20x, and gold bars at 40x for a five-symbol line. The horse scatter pays 150x from any position on the reels. Most significant is the Gunslinger wild, paying 400x for five and substituting for all regular symbols. Looking at the paytable structure, the jump from 40x (gold) to 400x (wild) is steep, which concentrates big base game hits on wild-heavy lines.

Bonus Features
Three separate bonus rounds give this slot more depth than most 25-line games from the same era. Shoot the Card activates passively once you collect all five card ranks (10 through A) from base game wins. Five cards are then shot from a thrown deck. Each reveals a cash prize, but landing five Sheriff's badge cards awards the progressive jackpot. I like that this feature builds over time rather than relying on a single trigger spin.
Bounty Hunt fires when three Wanted Poster scatters land on a single spin. You pick from three outlaws, each with a different risk profile. Jessie Picket carries a 2x multiplier (6x to 36x stake reward), Butch Curry uses 3x (3x to 72x), and Wild Bill runs at 4x (1.2x to 240x). Four mini-challenges follow: shooting bottles, knives, dynamite, and a final quickdraw. The numbers tell you Wild Bill is the high-variance pick with a floor as low as 1.2x, which not everyone will find appealing.
Bottle Spins free spins trigger from three Whiskey Bottle scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4. You shoot a bottle to receive between 10 and 25 free spins, and all wins carry an automatic 2x multiplier. Re-triggers are unlimited. That 2x multiplier doubles every line hit, which meaningfully shifts the EV of the free spins round compared to base play.
Bonus Buy Options

RTP, Volatility and Max Win
Default RTP sits at 96.67%, which is solid for a 2018 release. However, I have seen a 94.64% configuration reported at certain operators, so always verify the RTP setting before committing real stakes. A 2% drop changes the long-term cost of play substantially. Medium volatility and the 107-spin average bonus frequency mean you should expect relatively steady bonus access without extreme dry spells.
Max win is capped at 5,000x your bet in the base game, but the progressive jackpot is uncapped and sits above that figure. From a math perspective, the progressive element adds positive EV skew that the fixed max win alone does not capture. The base game can drag a bit between bonus triggers, particularly because the card collection mechanic builds slowly and offers no visual feedback on how close you are to completion.
