Slot Summary

Locking bullet symbols while the spin counter returns to 3 is the mechanic's promise before 8 Bullets Hold and Win even reaches its x5000.00 ceiling. The bonus concentrates value in Sticky Symbols, Fixed Jackpots, and Wild Multipliers, while the high-volatility profile makes the waiting time part of the proposition. Novomatic's 5-reel, 20-line format keeps the base game simple so the Respin sequence carries most of the risk.
MechanicsSticky bullets reset the Respin counter

How It Plays

The 5-reel base game pays matching symbols across 20 lines, with the Wild Symbol substituting for ordinary symbols while bullets serve as the Bonus symbols.

Most spins follow a direct line-pay loop. Wild Multipliers can alter a completed win, but the larger structural change occurs when enough bullets open the Bonus Game.

Theme & Atmosphere

The Action & Adventure presentation uses a frontier confrontation, firearms, badges, and wanted figures to establish a terse contest rather than a story-heavy setting.

Bullet imagery also carries mechanical meaning because the same objects become Sticky Symbols in the Bonus Game, linking the frontier subject directly to collection.

Features & Win Potential

Sticky Symbols define the Bonus Game by holding bullet values in position, while every newly added symbol extends the sequence through a restored Respin counter.

Wild Multipliers affect line wins outside that collection phase, and Fixed Jackpots supply named targets once the Bonus symbols have shifted play onto the locked grid.

Bonus & Free Spins

Landing 6 or more Bonus symbols starts the Bonus Game with 3 Respins. The triggering bullets stay fixed, and every additional bullet restores the counter to 3.

Bonus symbols can carry credit values or Fixed Jackpots. Filling every available position awards the Grand prize and ends the collection sequence immediately.
