What to know before playing Wild Bounty Showdown
Wild Bounty Showdown is a PG Soft slot released in August 2022. Its six reels have different heights, and wins use ways rather than fixed paylines. Winning symbols disappear in a cascade, new symbols fall into place and the game checks for another win. The game’s official PG Soft page lists the title and provider information.
The public demo checked on 22 October 2026 opens with a splash screen and a Get Started button. It uses virtual credits and does not require registration. You can open the demo to learn the controls before deciding whether to play on a platform. This guide is independent: it is not operated by PG Soft or a casino and does not take bets, deposits or registrations.
How to play Wild Bounty Showdown: first spin steps
- Open the game. Launch Wild Bounty Showdown from a gaming platform, or use the public demo. In the demo, select Get Started to reach the game.
- Check the reels and controls. The reels are arranged in six columns, with the heights shown below. Find the Spin button and the bet controls before starting.
- Open Bet Options. Review Bet Size, Bet Level, Base Bet and Bet Amount. Bet Level can be set from 1 to 10. The base bet is 20; the total bet is calculated as bet size × bet level × base bet 20. The displayed bet amount reflects that calculation.
- Choose a bet setting. Use the minus and plus controls or Bet Options to adjust the available setting. Max Bet is also a control; check the displayed Bet Amount before spinning. This guide does not set or recommend a bet.
- Make the first spin. Select Spin. On PC, the Space key also spins. A paid spin starts the base-game multiplier at x1.
- Review the result. If symbols win, the game pays the win, removes the winning symbols and drops new symbols into the gaps. Check the multiplier and result before choosing another spin.
Wild Bounty Showdown 3600 ways: how wins are counted
The reel heights make the grid 3-4-5-5-4-3. Multiplying the number of symbol positions on each reel gives 3 × 4 × 5 × 5 × 4 × 3, or 3,600 ways to win at the stated base bet 20. Ways are not fixed lines drawn across the grid.
| Reel | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rows | 3 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 3 |
A ways win starts on the leftmost reel. Matching symbols must appear on consecutive adjacent reels, beginning with reel 1; the matching run cannot skip a reel. Each eligible symbol combination across those reels counts as a way. If a reel contains more than one matching symbol, each applicable combination can create a separate way. The game checks the symbols and combinations shown on the reels, rather than asking whether a symbol sits on a particular payline.
Wild Bounty Showdown bet: controls and paytable
The total bet changes with bet size and bet level; the base bet is 20. Bet level runs from 1 to 10. Check the Bet Amount display after making a change, and remember that the paytable values are multiplied by bet size × bet level. See the paytable guide for more on symbol values.
| Symbol | 6 of a kind | 5 of a kind | 4 of a kind | 3 of a kind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bandit | 50 | 30 | 20 | 10 |
| Revolver | 30 | 20 | 15 | 8 |
| Cowboy hat | 20 | 15 | 10 | 5 |
| Whiskey bottle | 20 | 15 | 10 | 5 |
| A or K | 10 | 6 | 4 | 2 |
| Q or J | 5 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
For a worked example in bet multiples, one six-Bandit way pays 50 times bet size × bet level. Since the base bet is 20, that is 2.5× the total bet for that way before any win multiplier. If that win is evaluated at x4, it becomes 10× the total bet for the way. Other ways in the same result can add their own payouts.
Cascades, multipliers and special symbols
Every base-game spin begins at x1. After a win is paid and the symbols cascade, the multiplier doubles for the next cascade win: x1, x2, x4, x8 and onward, up to x1024. It resets on the next paid spin. Cascades continue when another win forms after new symbols fall; a spin with no further win ends that sequence. The features guide explains the game’s other mechanics.
Some symbols on reels 3 and/or 4 may appear with a gold frame; Wild and Scatter symbols are excluded. After the next cascade, a gold-framed symbol that was part of the previous winning combination turns into a Wild. Wild substitutes for all symbols except Scatter. Scatter symbols are shown as stacks of gold bars; three Scatters anywhere trigger 10 free spins, and each additional Scatter adds two. Free spins start at x8, which doubles after each cascade win, and can be retriggered.
Spin, Turbo Spin, Auto Spin and menu
Spin starts one spin. Turbo Spin speeds up play. Auto Spin starts repeated spins and offers stop conditions based on a balance change or a single win; review the available conditions before starting it. On PC, pressing Space spins. Controls can vary in appearance by platform, so use the on-screen labels.
The game menu includes Paytable, Rules and History, as well as Sound and Quit. Use Paytable to inspect symbol payouts, Rules for the game instructions and History to review past results. The game’s theoretical RTP is 96.75%; it is a long-term figure, not a prediction for an individual session. The RTP shown in the game information on a platform is the one that applies. More detail is available in the RTP guide.
Practise first and check the platform
A demo is a practical way to learn the reel layout, Bet Options, cascading wins and menu without registering. Demo results do not change the odds or predict later spins. Wild Bounty Showdown uses a random number generator; spins are independent, so a time of day, pattern or technique does not improve the chance of a win.
For real-money play in the Philippines, eligibility rules apply: gambling is prohibited for people under 21 and for other restricted groups, including civil servants under the stated Civil Service Commission resolution. The game’s presence on a list of approved electronic games does not approve every site that offers it. Check the exact platform domain through PAGCOR Guarantee before using a platform.
