Playing Rusty & Curly
How to Set Your Stake
To get started, you'll need to set your stake. To do this, click on the up and down arrows you'll find underneath the reels. You can select a stake amount between the minimum and maximum range.
How to Spin the Reels
Once your stake has been set, you just need to click on the spin button to set those reels in motion. You'll then need to try to land at least 3 identical symbols on any of the 14 paylines from left to right, starting from reel one.
Bonus Rounds in Rusty & Curly
The main game features you'll come across in Rusty & Curly include:
Almost Sticky Wild Posters
The Almost Sticky Wild Posters can land on the reels with hearts, multipliers, or both. They will stick to the reels and trigger respins for as long as at least one heart is present. Each Wild Poster can have up to three hearts - and you'll lose one heart per respin. When all the hearts are gone, the Wild Poster will be removed for the next respin. Wild Posters can feature multipliers ranging from 2x to 10x. During these respins any scatter symbols that land will be collected on the progress bar above the reels.
Stick to the Plan Bonus
If you land at least 3 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels during the base game, you'll trigger 6 free "Stick to the Plan!" spins. This bonus round will give you an increased chance of landing Wild Posters with even more hearts and even higher multipliers - ranging from 2x to 100x. As long as there is at least one Wild Poster with one or more hearts on the reels, you'll receive respins that won't be deducted from your awarded free spins. You can't land scatters during this round - and free spins can't be retriggered.
Who Shot the Sheriff Bonus
If you land 4 scatters in the base game, you'll receive 12 free "Who Shot The Sheriff?" spins, which will be divided into 3 Cycles of 4 spins. Each Cycle consists of 1 Collect Phase spin and 3 Payout Phase spins.
In the Collect Phase, Rusty, Curly, or both land on a random reel and will expand to turn it into a wild reel. They will shoot 1 to 6 times at the multipliers on the grid, adding the total value of the multipliers to the wild reel for the Payout Phase. Multiplier values can range from 1x to 200x. The Payout Phase consists of 3 spins with paying symbols. The Rusty & Curly wild reels will be sticky and retain the multipliers from the Collect Phase. After 3 Payout Phase spins, the game will then return to the Collect Phase. During the Payout Phase, Crispy & Chewy (the duo's trusted steeds) symbols might land and expand into wild reels, but these don't carry multipliers and aren't sticky. Landing another 3 scatter symbols during the feature will award 1 extra cycle, and landing 4 scatters will award 2 extra Cycles.
