Features
Wanted Dead or a Wild comes with free spins and a bonus buy.
- Free spins: a set of spins at no cost, usually with extras like multipliers or sticky wilds. This is where most of the big wins tend to come from.
- Bonus buy: pay a fixed multiple of your stake to go straight to the feature. Not available in Great Britain.
Is the bonus buy worth it?
Wanted Dead or a Wild lets you buy straight into the feature where it’s allowed (bonus buys are switched off in Great Britain). A buy usually costs around 100× your stake, and you pay the house edge on that whole amount at once, so the average cost of one buy at a 20p stake is about £0.72 at 96.38% RTP.
