Le Cowboy isn't your typical payline slot. This Hacksaw Gaming release uses a cluster pays system on a 6x5 grid where you need 5 or more matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically to trigger a win.
The real magic happens with the Revolver Cylinder mechanic. When a Wild symbol appears in a winning cluster, it transforms into a Revolver Cylinder scatter that fires between 2 and 6 shots at random grid positions, revealing special symbols.
These shots reveal Bronze Coins (1x-4x), Silver Coins (5x-20x), Gold Coins (25x-100x), Diamonds (150x-500x), Clovers that multiply values, Loot Bags that collect totals, and Reload symbols that refill the cylinder for another round.
Land 3 FS scatter symbols simultaneously to trigger 10 free spins with increased Revolver Cylinder appearance rates.
Get 2 more FS symbols during the bonus for +2 spins, or 3 symbols for +4 spins.
Gamble option available to upgrade to Trail of Trickery or win instant cash prizes up to 100x.
Land 4 FS symbols to activate 10 free spins with the Bullet Collector feature.
The Bullet Collector gathers one bullet per win throughout the bonus. On the final spin, Smokey Le Cowboy shoots all collected bullets at the grid, revealing Coins, Diamonds, Clovers, and Loot Bags.
Gamble to reach Pistols at Dawn or win instant prizes from 5x to 500x.
The hidden epic bonus. Land 5 FS symbols simultaneously to unlock 10 free spins with a progressive Bullet Collector.
Starts with 5 bullets and triggers every spin. After firing, it resets to the last collected value and keeps accumulating. Only Silver and Gold Coins appear in this mode.

Note: Pistols at Dawn cannot be purchased directly. It must be triggered naturally with 5 FS symbols or reached through gambling in Trail of Trickery bonus.
Hacksaw Gaming's signature mechanic transforms winning Wilds into Revolver Cylinders that fire 2-6 shots at random positions. This isn't a simple respin feature. Each shot can reveal Coins worth up to 100x, Diamonds worth up to 500x, or special symbols like Clovers that multiply everything on the grid by up to 20x.
Multiple cylinders can appear simultaneously, and Reload symbols refill them for additional rounds. The chain reactions create exponential win potential, especially when Loot Bags collect all values and trigger another firing sequence.
The three-tier bonus system scales dramatically. High Noon Saloon (3 FS symbols) offers standard free spins with increased cylinder frequency. Trail of Trickery (4 FS symbols) adds a Bullet Collector that accumulates throughout the bonus and fires all bullets on the final spin.
Pistols at Dawn (5 FS symbols) is the hidden epic mode where the Bullet Collector starts at 5 and triggers every single spin, resetting to its previous value after each activation. Only Silver and Gold Coins appear, dramatically increasing the average hit value.
The base 96.28% RTP is solid, but the gamble feature reduces it progressively: 96.24% after one gamble, 96.15% after two in High Noon Saloon. Trail of Trickery drops to 96.20% after one gamble. This creates a strategic decision: take the guaranteed bonus or risk it for an upgrade or instant cash prize.
High volatility with 25,000x maximum win means extended dry spells between significant hits. The cluster pays mechanism requires patience as you wait for both a winning cluster and a Wild to appear in it. Base game wins typically range from 5x to 50x, with the real money coming from bonus features and Revolver Reveal chains.
With a £0.05 to £40 bet range, budget at least 200x your stake for base game sessions to weather the volatility. The BonusHunt FeatureSpins at 3x bet offers the most cost-effective route to bonus features, though it still requires 600x bankroll for sustainable play. Direct bonus buys at 65x-250x should be reserved for players with substantial bankrolls willing to risk the entire purchase amount.
Test the Revolver Cylinder mechanics in demo mode or play for real money to chase the 25,000x maximum win in Pistols at Dawn bonus.
Responsible Gaming: Le Cowboy is a high volatility slot designed for entertainment. Set loss limits before playing and never chase losses. The 25,000x maximum win is a theoretical maximum that occurs extremely rarely. Most sessions will result in losses due to the game's mathematical design.
