Duel at Dawn

Inside the game

Captured in the studio's own free demo on 11 September 2026. Nothing below is taken from a press release or another site — it is what the game shows when you open it.

The base gameThe base game: a five-reel, five-row grid set in a sunset western scene, with cards, a wagon wheel, a bison skull, a hat, revolvers and a sheriff's star. Bottom left is the BUY BONUS button; the demo bet stands at €2.00 against a play-money balance of €5,000.00.
FeaturesABOUT THE GAME opens the panel, then FEATURES introduces the DuelReels™: a VS symbol expands into a full wild reel on which a duel between the Outlaw and the Sheriff takes place. The surviving duellist's multiplier applies across the whole reel; the game lists the possible values, from 2x to 200x.
Game rules, page 2The Outlaw feature: the symbol expands into a full wild reel and shows a revolver loaded with 1 to 6 bullets, each bullet standing for one Wild shot onto the grid. The panel notes that at most two Outlaws can appear on a single spin, then moves on to Wild Wild West, opened by three simultaneous FS symbols for 10 free spins.
Game rules, page 3The end of Wild Wild West, where two extra FS award 2 more spins and three FS award 4, then the second feature: Dusk 'Til Dawn, triggered by four simultaneous FS symbols and holding 10 free spins. It unlocks up to four DuelSpins with guaranteed VS symbols, by having an Outlaw fire a full revolver of 6 Wilds.
Game rules, page 4The DuelSpins in detail — the first guarantees at least 2 VS symbols, the second 3, the third 4, the fourth lands 5, and each adds 3 free spins — followed by the start of the paytable: 2.00 for five card symbols, 6.00 for the wheel and the skull, 12.00 for the hat and the revolvers, 20.00 for the sheriff's star.
Special symbolsThe end of the paytable, with the Wild at 20.00 for five, and the SPECIAL SYMBOLS section: the Wild substitutes for every symbol in the table, and a VS symbol never lands at the same time as an Outlaw. The panel shows a 96.3% RTP, calculated over ten billion simulated rounds, matching the fact sheet.
Bonus buyThe green diagrams of the winning lines, all paid left to right from the leftmost reel, then the BONUS BUY section. It describes the FeatureSpins™, active spin after spin until disabled, and gives their buy returns: 96.32% for Bonushunt, 96.35% for Deadly Duels and 96.31% for Lone Outlaw, the last two with no FS symbol possible.
GeneralThe last two buy returns — 96.31% for Wild Wild West and 96.3% for Dusk 'Til Dawn — then the GENERAL section. There the panel sets the allowed bet levels between €0.10 and €50.00, noting that feature buys may exceed that ceiling.
Max winThe MAX WIN section explains what happens when the win ceiling is reached: a message appears, the round ends immediately and any remaining free spins are discarded. Then come the rules for free spins, autoplay, its advanced limits and Turbo Play.
Game rules, page 9The end of the panel: the full list of keyboard shortcuts, from muting the sound to opening the buy menu, then the history of completed rounds and the general terms, which note that a displayed reel represents no physical device.
