Le Cowboy introduces Hacksaw Gaming's most intricate feature mechanic yet. The Revolver Cylinder system creates a multi-layered collection game where timing and symbol positioning determine massive win potential. Unlike standard cluster slots, wins don't end after cascades. Instead, Wilds transform into cylinders that shoot special symbols onto the grid.
The key to understanding Le Cowboy lies in the Loot Bag collection sequence. When a Loot Bag activates, it collects all visible Coin and Diamond values, then the grid fires again. This creates a loop where multiple Loot Bags can collect from each other, exponentially increasing payouts. Combined with Clover multipliers up to x20, a single Revolver Reveal sequence can generate hundreds of times your bet.
Base game volatility sits at high level, with the 96.28% RTP distributed heavily towards bonus features. Expect long dry spells between Revolver activations, but when they hit, the cascading collection mechanics deliver substantial returns. The Sheriff Star symbol offers the highest standard payout at 400x for 14+ clusters, but real money comes from Revolver Reveals.
Trail of Trickery represents the sweet spot for bonus value. The Bullet Collector guarantees a final cylinder reveal using accumulated bullets from every win during the feature. In testing, this bonus consistently delivers 100x-500x returns, with potential for 1,000x+ when multiple Reloads extend the sequence.
Pistols at Dawn transforms the game entirely. With the Bullet Collector triggering every spin and resetting to the last value, you're essentially playing a progressive collection game. The restriction to Silver and Gold Coins (minimum 5x) ensures every reveal has substance. This bonus accounts for most maximum win scenarios approaching the 25,000x cap.
The gamble feature after triggering High Noon Saloon or Trail of Trickery presents interesting risk-reward dynamics. High Noon Saloon gambles offer 50% chance to upgrade to Trail of Trickery versus cash prizes. Trail of Trickery gambles provide 12.5% chance for Pistols at Dawn upgrade versus guaranteed cash up to 500x. Conservative players should decline gambles and take guaranteed spins, while maximum win chasers should gamble once per bonus.
Highest Paying: Sheriff Star awards 400x for 14+ clusters, scaling down to 2x for 5 clusters. This silver badge symbol represents the premium standard pay.
High Value Symbols: Bull Skull and Crossed Pistols both pay 200x for 14+ clusters. These thematic Wild West symbols form the mid-tier premium category with payouts from 1.20x to 200x.
Medium Value Symbols: Cowboy Hat and Cactus offer identical 150x maximum payouts for 14+ clusters, ranging down to 0.80x for 5 clusters. These symbols hit frequently and contribute to cascade chains.
Card Ranks: Ten through Ace (10, J, Q, K, A) all share the same paytable: 100x for 14+, 20x for 12-13, 4x for 10-11, and 1.20x for 8-9 clusters. These golden metallic symbols form the base game foundation.
Special Symbols: Wild substitutes for all paytable symbols and transforms into Revolver Cylinders. FS scatter triggers bonuses with 3, 4, or 5 simultaneous appearances. Revolver Cylinder shoots to reveal collection symbols. All special symbols bypass standard paytable rules.
