This unique mechanic is the heart of Le Cowboy's gameplay
When a Wild symbol is part of a winning cluster, it transforms into a Revolver Cylinder scatter.
The cylinder shoots 2-6 bullets at random grid positions from top to bottom, left to right.
Shot positions reveal Coins, Diamonds, Clovers, Loot Bags, or Reload symbols.
After all cylinders fire, Coins and Diamonds reveal their multiplier values.
Green and Gold Clovers apply their multipliers to all adjacent Coins, Diamonds, and Loot Bags.
Loot Bags collect all values on the grid, then positions fire again for new symbols.
If a Reload symbol appears, all cylinders reload with 2-6 new shots and the process repeats.
All Coin and Loot Bag values are added together and multiplied by your bet for the final win.

Unlike traditional cascading slots where symbols simply disappear and refill, Le Cowboy introduces a multi-phase system that creates compound winning potential. When a Wild symbol participates in a winning cluster, it doesn't just pay out and vanish. Instead, it transforms into a Revolver Cylinder that actively shoots at 2-6 random positions on the grid.
This mechanic means every Wild win creates a secondary event with its own potential for massive payouts. The cylinder can reveal Bronze Coins (1x-4x), Silver Coins (5x-20x), Gold Coins (25x-100x), or Diamonds (150x-500x). But the real power comes from what happens next.
After all cylinders fire and reveal their values, Green and Gold Clover symbols apply multipliers ranging from x2 to x20. These don't just multiply a single coin - they multiply ALL adjacent coins, diamonds, and even Loot Bags. This creates exponential growth potential.
Le Cowboy uses a cluster pays system requiring 5 or more connected symbols. The paytable reveals interesting balance:
Notice that even the highest paying regular symbol maxes at 400x for 14+ connected symbols. This means the bulk of big wins come from the Revolver Reveal system, not the base paytable. The slot is designed to funnel excitement into the special feature mechanics.
When you trigger Trail of Trickery with 4 FS symbols, the Bullet Collector appears outside the grid. This golden cylinder with a green glow collects one bullet for every win during your 10 free spins. On the final spin, after all regular Revolver Cylinders and Reloads activate, Smokey the cat shoots all collected bullets at the grid.
Here's why this matters: Each bullet reveals a Coin, Diamond, Clover, or Loot Bag. If you had 8 wins during your free spins, you get 8 additional symbol reveals on top of any Revolver Cylinders that appeared naturally. This effectively guarantees a significant payout on your last spin.
The hidden epic bonus triggered by 5 FS symbols introduces a game-changing twist. The Bullet Collector starts at 5 bullets and triggers EVERY SINGLE SPIN. After it fires, it resets to the last collected value and continues accumulating wins.
This means: Spin 1 fires 5 bullets. If you get 3 wins, Spin 2 starts at 3 bullets and fires after collecting more wins. The mechanic creates a progressive accumulation effect across all 10 free spins. Combined with the restriction that only Silver and Gold coins appear (minimum 5x values), Pistols at Dawn has the highest potential for reaching the 25,000x maximum win.
Le Cowboy offers different RTP percentages depending on your gameplay choices:
The bonus buys actually offer slightly higher RTP than base play (96.33% vs 96.28%), but gambling your bonus reduces RTP. The 500 EUR cost for Trail of Trickery at 2 EUR bet means 250x your stake - a significant investment that statistically pays better than trying to trigger naturally.
Loot Bags are the most complex symbol in Le Cowboy. When activated from top to bottom, left to right, each Loot Bag collects the values of ALL Coins, Diamonds, and other activated Loot Bags on the grid. After collection, Clover and Reload symbols disappear, and all shot positions fire again to reveal new symbols.
This creates a potential infinite loop: Loot Bag collects values, positions fire again, new Loot Bag appears, collects again, fires again. The process continues until no new Loot Bags appear. In practice, this can result in a single Revolver Reveal sequence generating 5-10 collection cycles, with values compounding each time.
The Reload symbol is restricted to one per grid at any time. When it appears, all Revolver Cylinders reload with 2-6 new shots and fire again. This extends the Revolver Reveal sequence without requiring another Wild win.
The strategic element: Reloads can appear from cylinder shots or from Loot Bag re-fires. Since Loot Bags trigger position re-fires, they increase the chance of revealing a Reload, which triggers more cylinder shots, which can reveal more Loot Bags. This interdependency is what enables the massive win potential.
Both High Noon Saloon and Trail of Trickery offer a gamble option upon triggering. You spin a Revolver Cylinder wheel with multiple outcomes:
High Noon Gamble: 1 outcome upgrades to Trail of Trickery, 7 outcomes give cash prizes (Bronze/Silver/Gold coins). Gambling reduces RTP by 0.13%, and gambling twice drops it another 0.10%.
Trail of Trickery Gamble: 1 outcome upgrades to Pistols at Dawn, 7 outcomes give cash prizes including Diamonds up to 500x. Gambling reduces RTP by 0.13%.
The math suggests gambling only makes sense if you specifically want to reach Pistols at Dawn, as the RTP reduction outweighs the average cash prize value.
Reaching the 25,000x maximum win requires multiple factors aligning: High number of Revolver Cylinder shots revealing high-value Gold Coins and Diamonds, x10 or x20 Clover multipliers adjacent to all values, multiple Loot Bag collection cycles, and Reload symbols extending the sequence. The 25,000x cap is most achievable during Pistols at Dawn where the Bullet Collector fires every spin and only Silver/Gold coins appear.
Hacksaw Gaming rates Le Cowboy as high volatility, which matches the mechanics. Base wins from clusters pay relatively small amounts (400x maximum for 14+ Sheriff Stars). The big wins require entering the Revolver Reveal system, which depends on landing Wild symbols in winning clusters. This creates long dry spells interrupted by explosive wins when everything connects.
Players should expect sessions where 50-100 spins pass without significant wins, followed by a single Revolver Reveal sequence that recovers losses and generates profit. Bankroll management is critical - avoid betting more than 1% of your total bankroll per spin to survive the variance.
