Next up, whiskey, cow skulls and money bags depict the medium value symbols, offering between x0.3 and x2 the player’s preferred stake.
One cowgirl and two cowboys depict the high value symbols for this slot, providing wins between x0.6 and x3.75 the player’s wager.

Finally, landing three, four or five sheriff badge scatters on the same turn will activate seven, 10 or 15 free spins respectively.
THE DETAILS
Throughout the base game, symbols in a winning payline can trigger a sticky respins feature. This causes all the winning symbols to stay sticky on the reel set as all other symbols disappear. Then, the reels spin to reveal either blocker, non-paying tumbleweed symbols or more of the sticky symbol to create a chance of enhancing the winning payline and receiving a greater payout.
During the free spins, this sticky respins feature occurs throughout the entirety of the bonus game mode as one symbol is selected to be sticky at the start of the feature. Only wilds, the sticky symbol, scatters and tumbleweed symbols can appear during the free spins due to this.
Each scatter symbol that appears will award an extra two spins as the player hopes to land a full-reel set of wilds and their randomly selected sticky symbol.
Furthermore, players can activate the boost bet feature in the base game, increasing their stake to receive a higher chance of landing scatter symbols and triggering the bonus game.
Additionally, players can buy access to the free spins for the price of x85 their stake, or a free spins game mode where the sticky symbol is guaranteed to be a medium or high value symbol for x155 their stake.
