Three things to watch
- Separate badge and Scatter routes
Six badges start Hold and Spin, while three or more Scatters open Free Spins. Record which trigger produced the feature instead of treating both symbols alike.
- Watch reels two through five
During Free Spins, any reel except the first can become fully Wild. Placement matters because expanding coverage must still connect with reel one across a payline.
- Look for the bonus crossover
Badge symbols remain active during Free Spins and can trigger Hold and Spin from inside that round, combining expanded-Wild time with the jackpot feature.
Our take
Two familiar Wild West bonuses become more interesting when one can trigger inside the other
Badge Blitz splits its action between money respins and expanded-Wild Free Spins. Six sheriff badges open Hold and Spin with three turns; new badges or Mini, Minor, Major and Mega jackpot symbols reset the counter, while filling all 15 positions awards Grand. Three or more Scatters provide up to eight Free Spins, where any reel from two to five can become fully Wild on a turn. Badges remain active there, so the Hold and Spin round can start from inside the Wild feature. The official configuration lists 96.50% RTP, high volatility and a 3,000x maximum. Neither system is unusual by itself, but the crossover gives bonus Scatters more purpose than a standalone mode. Eight starting spins are limited, and expanded reels still depend on reel-one symbols, so strong-looking coverage can miss. The page is best judged by how often the two routes interact rather than by either bonus in isolation.
How it plays
What happens when you spin
A 5×3 line game offers separate badge and Scatter entries, then allows money symbols collected during expanded-Wild Free Spins to open the jackpot respin feature.
Six badges start Hold and Spin
Triggering badges become money values when the three-spin round begins, and every additional badge or jackpot symbol resets the counter.
Five jackpot levels can appear
Mini, Minor, Major and Mega land as prize symbols during the feature, while filling every grid position awards the Grand jackpot.
Scatters award up to eight turns
Three or more Scatter symbols open Free Spins, with the exact starting allocation rising to a maximum of eight bonus spins.
Inner reels may expand fully Wild
On each Free Spin, reels two to five can receive complete Wild coverage, and six badges can still launch Hold and Spin from within the round.
One bonus inside another
Badges stay live during the Wild round
The Free Spins are not a separate dead end. Their badge supply can open Hold and Spin, turning a short Wild feature into the route to the jackpot grid.
