How the Wanted series changed Hacksaw Gaming's western formula
Hacksaw Gaming's Wanted series began with Wanted Dead or a Wild, which fixed the line around a grim western setting, a 15-line structure and volatile bonuses driven by sticky or expanding wilds, symbol collection and multipliers. The original uses a 5x5 grid and reaches 12,500x, placing concentrated feature outcomes ahead of frequent incremental rewards.

Wanted Salvation compresses the screen to 3x5 while retaining 15 lines and the same 12,500x maximum. Respins become part of the listed feature set, alongside sticky wilds, wild multipliers, expanding symbols and the returning collection system. Its RTP rises from 94.55% to 96.38%, so the sequel changes the route and screen scale without raising the payout cap. The useful distinction is therefore structural: the first game presents the formula on a larger grid, while Salvation rebuilds it around a narrower reel set and respin pressure.
