Tombstone RIP

xSplit on reel five counts as two symbols high and chooses one of four equally likely paths to the left: the top row, bottom row, or the middle of the three middle reels combined with the top or bottom of reel one.

An already Reel-Split position can become four symbol parts when crossed by xSplit. Crossing an xNudge doubles its multiplier. Reels where two Scatters have converted into Reel Split Wilds are excluded from further xSplit splitting.

A Boothill Scatter can land on reel five in the base game or Hang ’Em High. Without the full bonus trigger, it respins the last reel to a Cowboy and turns matching Cowboys on the other reels Wild.

That event also applies a random multiplier from the stated 5–999 range. It is a reel-five feature, not automatically a Boothill Free Spins entry.

During Hang ’Em High, Wilds build a multiplier that remains for the feature: regular Wild adds one, Reel Split and xSplit add two, and xNudge adds one to three depending on its state.

A Boothill Scatter upgrades the remaining bonus to Boothill and adds two spins.

The saved normal configuration states 96.08% RTP. Evolution also lists a separate 94.08% build; that alternative does not identify the returns of the saved paid modes.

Enhanced Bet is 96.28%, Hang ’Em High buy 96.47%, and Boothill buy 97.03% in the saved rules. Feature purchases are 70× and 3,000× base bet, with a stated maximum purchase base bet of €50.

The maximum round payout is 300,000× base bet. Reaching the cap ends the round and its remaining feature activity.

The rules state a simulated maximum-payout probability of approximately one in 130 million rounds. That is not an ordinary hit rate or the frequency of Boothill.

One reel versus a path

Reel Split subdivides a middle reel; xSplit crosses positions from the fifth reel.

Cowboy value versus payout cap

The 5–999 Cowboy multiplier contributes to a calculation. The separate round maximum is 300,000× base bet.

Two Scatters still act

They become Reel Split Wilds, but do not start the eight-spin feature.

Paid RTP belongs to its mode

97.03% is the Boothill purchase return, not the normal-play RTP.

The paytable separates ordinary symbols, the five Cowboys, Wild types and the two kinds of Scatter. Their roles are not interchangeable.

Hang ’Em High Scatters create the initial bonus or a two-Scatter conversion. Boothill Scatter acts from the last reel and can create a Cowboy event even without the full Free Spins trigger.

Tombstone RIP suits players who want a dense set of interacting Wild mechanics and persistent bonus multipliers. Its irregular board and Cowboy conversions give it a distinct rhythm.

The xRIP rule and extreme provider-rated volatility are substantial parts of the choice. Players who prefer small wins to pay normally or a single simple bonus should understand those differences before choosing it.

Boothill has two separate selections. The last-reel Cowboy determines which matching symbols elsewhere become Wild. A random Cowboy family receives the added multiplier.

Those selections must not be collapsed into a claim that the converted Cowboy always receives the random value. The value contributes to the overall multiplier before the transformed result is paid.

The contribution table below distinguishes the two Free Spins modes. Their accumulated Wild multiplier persists through the feature.

Boothill retains regular Wild, Reel Split and xNudge contributions but has no xSplit; the Cowboy-family effect is its additional layer.

First identify whether a symbol effect changes one reel, a path or the Wild multiplier. Then follow the bonus meter rather than treating every “x” label as the same multiplier.

The most useful distinction in Boothill is between the Cowboy on reel five and the separately selected multiplier family. Both influence the result, but perform different jobs.

Last-reel size affects ways

Its single visible symbol counts double; that explains the default 108 ways.

Boothill can act outside its bonus

Its Scatter can cause a last-reel respin and matching-Cowboy conversion without starting ten Free Spins.

xRIP uses the base bet

The cutoff is not a promise that all results up to an enhanced spin’s charge are refunded.
