Great Game Rockies: Five Shots at Dawn

Great Game Rockies is a Hacksaw Gaming slot released on 11 June 2026, set in the pine forests of the Rockies with a huntsman at dawn. Wins are paid on paylines, and the main feature turns Animal symbols into cash-value Coins and collecting Traps.

Everything starts with the Hunting Season symbol. When it lands, five shots are fired across the reels, and any Animal symbol that is hit transforms. The number of Stars on an Animal sets the minimum Coin it can become.

Three or more FS symbols open one of three bonus games, each lasting 10 free spins, with the third a Hidden Epic Bonus that guarantees a Hunt on every spin.

Hacksaw Gaming lists the RTPs as 96.33%, 94.33%, 92.29%, 86.25%, so four versions exist. The gap is unusually wide: the lowest version returns ten percentage points less than the highest, so checking the figure in the game's rules matters more than usual here.

Volatility is rated 3 / 5, the middle of Hacksaw's five-point scale, so this is pitched as a medium-volatility game rather than one of the studio's extreme releases at the top of that scale.

The max win is 5 000x the stake. The win type is listed as Paylines; Hacksaw's game page does not give the grid size, the number of lines or a bet range.

A Hunting Season symbol triggers a Hunt, and every Hunt fires five shots. Any Animal symbols on the reels that are hit are transformed into either Coin or Trap symbols.

Animal symbols show between 1 and 4 Stars, and the Star count decides the minimum Coin type revealed. A 4-Star Animal is therefore the best target: it cannot turn into anything below its guaranteed minimum Coin, while a 1-Star Animal can.

Hacksaw's game page does not list the Coin types or their values. The paytable inside the game shows what each tier is worth.

A Trap symbol collects the values of all Coins and other Traps on the reels. Collected symbols keep their values, and the total win from the Hunt is the sum of every Coin and Trap value.

Because collected symbols keep their values and Traps collect other Traps, two or more Traps compound each other. A Hunt that reveals several Traps alongside the Coins is therefore the outcome to hope for, since each Trap adds the values it has collected to the total.

Wilds play a part too. A Wild on a reel that is hit gets a multiplier, which is applied to between one and five Coins or Traps. Hacksaw does not publish the possible multiplier values on its page.

Landing 3 or more FS symbols at the same time triggers a bonus game, and the count decides which. All three award 10 free spins.

Country Strong, from 3 FS symbols, gives 10 free spins with a bigger chance of landing Hunting Season symbols. More Hunting Season symbols means more Hunts and more chances to transform Animals.

Free Bird, from 4 FS symbols, adds Star growth. When an Animal symbol is part of a regular win, it gains another Star, and the added Star is progressive, so it carries through the round and pushes that Animal's minimum Coin up over time.

Trophy Hunting, the Hidden Epic Bonus from 5 FS symbols, guarantees a Hunting Season symbol on every one of its 10 free spins. That is ten Hunts and fifty shots across the round, the strongest of the three by design.

The free Great Game Rockies demo on this page is the best way to fill in what the provider's page leaves out: Coin values, Wild multiplier values and the grid layout. Open the paytable before spinning.

During a Hunt, count the Stars on each Animal before the shots land and compare them with the Coins revealed. Note how often a Trap appears, since Traps are what turn scattered Coins into one combined win.

In Free Bird, follow an Animal that keeps featuring in regular wins to see how far its Stars climb. Check the info screen for the RTP version as well. A demo session shows how the mechanics behave, not what any future spin will pay.
