Duel at Dawn slot: the Hacksaw western where wilds fight

The duel

Wilds land with multipliers attached and stick to the reels for the round. When two of them share a line, the duel fires: one wins and takes over the other's multiplier, so a pair of modest wilds becomes one large one, and the loser's cell is freed for the next wild. Over a free spins round this snowballs, and a grid with several multiplied sticky wilds is the picture behind the 15000x ceiling. The base game shows the mechanic in short bursts; the bonus is where it matters.

Bonus modes

Scatters open the free spins, and as with every Hacksaw game there are two modes, the higher one with better wilds and a bigger price on the buy button. Multipliers on sticky wilds survive the whole round. The volatility is rated high, and the RTP quoted on this page, 94.27%, is a catalogue figure for a common setting; Hacksaw ships several, and the game's info screen at Vavada shows the one in use, which is worth checking because the spread between settings is wide.

Duel at Dawn or Wanted Dead or a Wild

Wanted Dead or a Wild is the original: three bonus modes, a bigger grid of mechanics and a slightly lower ceiling. Duel at Dawn is narrower and more readable: one mechanic, executed well. If you found the original confusing, start here; if you loved it, this is a variation rather than a replacement. Both are in the Hit tab, and both are games where a session without a bonus is simply a loss, so size the bet accordingly.

Demo and Vavada

Hacksaw has no open launcher; the demo runs inside Vavada from the card in the lobby without login. The red button opens the casino; the welcome package for new accounts is on the bonuses page, and remember it wagers in slots only, which this game is.
