How it plays
Duel at Dawn is a Wild West slot built around duels. When a VS symbol lands and would be part of a win, it expands into a wild DuelReel covering the whole reel. The Outlaw and the Sheriff each carry a multiplier, and the multiplier of the one who survives applies to every win through that reel.
DuelReel multipliers range from 2× to 200× (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100 or 200). If several multiplier reels are in one win, their values are added together.
An Outlaw symbol expands into a full wild reel, shows a revolver with 1 to 6 bullets and shoots that many wilds onto the grid. Outlaw reels carry the same range of multipliers. At most two Outlaws can land on one spin.
The bonus rounds
Wild Wild West (3 FS scatters): 10 free spins with better chances of VS and Outlaw symbols and of high multipliers. 2 FS symbols add 2 spins, 3 add 4.
Dusk 'Til Dawn (4 FS scatters): 10 free spins where an Outlaw who fires a full revolver of 6 wilds unlocks a DuelSpin. Each of the up to four DuelSpins guarantees more VS symbols (at least 2, 3, 4 and then 5) and adds 3 free spins.

Duel at Dawn lives on its multiplier reels: most spins are quiet, and a single duel can change that. Its sequel, Buried By Night, takes the duels sideways.
