“2 Wild 2 Die” is a Western-themed slot developed by Hacksaw Gaming. The game's backdrop features a blazing salon on one side and a fierce lady gunslinger on the other, creating a tense, action-packed atmosphere. The visuals employ an oil-on-canvas impressionist style, complemented by twangy tunes that enhance the Wild West ambiance.
Core Game and Mechanics
The game is played on a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 15 paylines. Players can set their bets from 0.10 to 100 currency units per spin. The slot is highly volatile, rated 5 out of 5 by Hacksaw Gaming, with a default RTP of 96.25% (though lower RTP models are available).
Symbols include low-paying card ranks from Jack to Ace, and high-paying themed symbols such as a skull, hat, pistol, and two character symbols. The highest-paying regular symbols award 15 times the bet for a line of five. Wild symbols can appear on all reels, substituting for regular pay symbols, with a five-wild line also paying 15 times the bet.
A key mechanic in “2 Wild 2 Die” is the use of Silver and Golden Revolver symbols, which can land with 1 to 6 bullets. These Revolvers shoot their bullets at random positions on the grid, creating wild symbols and potentially adding multipliers to them.
