Great Game Rockies Demo Play Free Demo Slot

Slot Overview

The Great Game Rockies slot is a highly volatile release from studio Hacksaw Gaming featuring a unique Hunting Season bonus mechanic where players can win up to 5,000x their bet.

Gameplay & Bonus Features

Hacksaw Gaming’s Great Game Rockies uses a 5-reel, 3-row configuration with 17 fixed ways to win, where payouts are awarded when 3 or more matching symbols connect from left to right. Staking options start from a minimum of €0.10 up to a maximum of €200, whilst the game features a return to player percentage of 96.33%.

The main mechanic in Great Game Rockies is triggered by the Hunting Season symbol. When it lands, a Hunt begins after any regular wins have been settled.

Each reel has a target above it, and five shots are fired from left to right. These shots can either hit or miss, and any Animal symbols that are hit are transformed.

Animals come with star ratings, which determine what they turn into. Lower star animals convert into Bronze or Silver Coins, while higher ones can become Gold Coins. The top-tier Animals transform into Trap symbols instead.

Coins land with fixed values based on your bet, while Trap symbols act as collectors. When they activate, they gather the value of all Coins and other Traps on the grid, building into a larger total. These collect in sequence, working from top to bottom, left to right.

Wild symbols also come into play during a Hunt. If a Wild is on a reel that gets hit, it receives a multiplier. After all Coins and Traps have been collected, these wild multipliers are applied to selected values, which can significantly increase the final payout.

Country Strong free spins

Landing 3 scatters triggers Country Strong with 10 free spins. This version of the bonus keeps the base mechanics but increases the chance of triggering Hunting Season, meaning more Hunts across the feature. Additional scatters can land during the round to award extra spins and extend the feature.

Free Bird free spins

Landing 4 scatters triggers Free Bird, also starting with 10 spins.

Here, Animal symbols can improve over time. Whenever an Animal is part of a win, it gains an extra star, increasing the level of Coins it can produce or eventually turning into a trap symbol. These upgrades carry on through the feature, meaning the longer it runs, the stronger the setup becomes. Extra spins can also be added through additional scatters.

Trophy Hunting bonus

Landing 5 scatters activates the strongest version of the feature. This keeps the same mechanics as Free Bird, including the progressive Animal upgrades, but guarantees that a Hunting Season symbol lands on every spin.

That means every spin leads into a hunt, giving consistent chances to build coin values, trigger traps, and apply multipliers throughout the feature.

Bonus Buy

Those spinning from regions where the bonus buy button is active can choose from the following options:

• BonusHunt FeatureSpins: Each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger the feature – Costs 3x the bet.
• Wild Hunt FeatureSpins: Each spin guarantees that one hunting symbol lands – Costs 50x the bet.
• Country Strong Free Spins: Trigger this feature instantly – Costs 500x the bet.
• Free Bird Free Spins: Trigger this bonus round instantly – Costs 200x the bet.

Theme & Design

Surprisingly, apart from Catfish Hunters, Gator Hunters, Duck Hunters and their associated sequels, there isn’t a huge amount of hunting-related slot titles for players to choose from, so if you’re in the market for a new game in that niche, Great Game Rockies will certainly tick that box for you.

As for the design and overall production, it’s of a reasonable quality, but it doesn’t really feel like a premium release from Hacksaw if I’m honest, and I think you’ll have the same impression of the game after you’ve played a few spins.
