How Pistoleras works
All 25 paylines remain active. The documented edition allows up to 10 coins per line, or 250 coins per spin. Coin size converts those coins into a monetary stake: total bet equals 25 multiplied by coins per line multiplied by coin size. Check the current game’s controls for supported denominations rather than treating an old currency limit as universal.
Ordinary winning combinations run from left to right on consecutive reels, beginning on reel one. Only the highest winning combination on each payline pays. Scatter awards are calculated separately from the total bet and added to line wins.
Verified payout examples and units
The historical paytable capture displays a total bet of 200.00 across 25 lines, equivalent to 8.00 per line. Five red-clad gunslingers show an award of 2,000.00: that is 250 times the line bet, not 2,000 times the stake. Five Pistoleras logos show 8,000.00, equivalent to 1,000 times the line bet. These are examples from that captured edition, not a complete paytable or a maximum-win claim.
For a hypothetical total stake of 1.00 at the same proportional settings, each line carries 0.04. Five red gunslingers on one line would therefore award 10.00; five logos would award 40.00. Those are gross awards before subtracting the spin’s stake. Other simultaneous wins can affect the overall result.
Wild logos and stacked characters
The Pistoleras logo substitutes for ordinary symbols, but not scatters. A combination completed through wild substitution receives a three-times multiplier. The logo’s own winning combinations do not receive that substitution multiplier. The three women can appear stacked; they should not be confused with stacked wild logos.
Wagon scatters and free spins
Two wagon scatters pay once the total stake. Three, four and five pay two, ten and 100 times the total stake respectively in the documented paytable. Three wagons also award 15 free spins, four award 20 and five award 25. For example, three wagons on a 1.00 total bet award 2.00 plus 15 free spins.
Free spins use the triggering paylines and stake settings. Regular wins are tripled, the women can appear stacked and additional free spins can be triggered. Do not apply the regular-win multiplier indiscriminately: the operator help explicitly excludes Saloon Bonus winnings from the free-spin multiplier.
The Saloon Bonus
Money Bag scatters appear on reels three, four and five. Landing all three triggers the Saloon Bonus; the illustrated paytable also shows a two-times-total-bet scatter award. This is a different trigger from the wagon free spins.
The bonus presents 12 objects to select. Revealed women and wild logos build matches until a three-symbol match completes the feature. A logo can substitute to finish a match, while three logos award the combined prizes of all three women. Read the prizes displayed in the bonus itself: those amounts already incorporate the total bet and must not be multiplied by the stake again.
The Saloon can occur during free spins, but its award is not tripled. The documented rules also state that the two bonuses cannot activate simultaneously.
Pistoleras questions
Who made this edition?
The historical desktop game and source screenshots carry Microgaming branding. A modern catalogue label does not establish that every operator offers the identical build.
Can I choose fewer than 25 lines?
No. All 25 lines are permanently active in the documented edition. Adjusting coins per line or denomination changes the total stake.
Are payout figures based on the line bet or total bet?
Ordinary symbol combinations use the line bet. Wagon scatter awards use the total bet. The Saloon displays awards already scaled to the stake.
Does every free-spin award receive a three-times multiplier?
No. Regular wins receive it, but Saloon Bonus winnings are explicitly excluded. Consult the current game’s help for the treatment of any other award.
Which reels trigger the Saloon?
The Money Bags must land on reels three, four and five. They are not interchangeable with the wagon scatter.
What are the RTP and current betting limits?
No edition-specific RTP or universal currency limits are established by the evidence used here. Check the information panel of the version you can actually access; historical screenshots do not confirm present availability.
