Hoot Shot the Sheriff is a 6x5 all-scatter cascading slot where wins form by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. Each win increases the global multiplier by +1, which resets after a non-winning spin. The standout feature is the Sheriff's Badge symbol, which multiplies the current global multiplier by values ranging from x2 to x10, creating spikes in payout potential.
Three BONUS scatters trigger the Midnight Gun Fight bonus with 10 free spins and a persistent global multiplier. In this mode, Sheriff's Badge boosts apply only to the triggering spin. Landing four BONUS scatters activates the Sheriff’s Hootout bonus, also with 10 free spins, but multiplier boosts from the Sheriff's Badge remain active for the rest of the round. In the Quickdraw FeatureSpins mode, each spin guarantees at least one Sheriff's Badge symbol, but not necessarily a winning combination.
