How To Play Rusty & Curly Mobile Slot
The Rusty & Curly slot is a 5-reel, 4-row, 14-betway Hacksaw Gaming machine with almost sticky wilds and multipliers. It has two free spin bonus features: one with richer reels and the other with cycles of spins with wild reels and multipliers.
You’d think this sentence would be easy to write, but boy does it not even begin to describe what you’ll find in this Rusty & Curly online slot. Mostly because while it gives you an idea of the mechanics, it doesn’t give you an idea of the joy.
Rusty is a pot-bellied goofball, and Curly is a hard-nosed, gritty lady hovering by the side of the reels in a bright, colourful Wild West. Together, they allow you to win up to 10,000 times your bet, thanks to a great RTP of 96.29% and those sticky wild posters.
They appear in the base game with up to 3 hearts, triggering up to 3 free re-spins; some even have multipliers. So far, so much better than Starburst XXXtreme already.
But this is nothing compared to the brilliant Stick to the Plan free spins, where the reels are rich in posters, and we personally saw wins of over 400x our bet.
Explaining the Rusty & Curly slot free spin bonuses
The Stick to the Plan free spins are triggered by collecting just 3 scatters – either by landing them or, more likely, by catching them during a wild re-spin.
You’ll get 6 free spins with richer reels. Now, normally, when we say richer reels, you kind of feel like you get more wins, but it’s not always obvious. In this Rusty and Curly slot game, it’s obvious. We’ve happily caught 9+ wilds on multiple spins with 25x multipliers. These can get as high as 100x.
We were fully satisfied to continue playing, with the re-spins giving us value for money in the base game and the multipliers giving us some truly impressive wins in the free spins. We played, for over an hour.
Then we went to check out the buy bonus and saw there was another bonus to catch.
4 scatters trigger something a little bit different
The fact we didn’t catch this bonus and we had to buy it almost made us want to remove a star from this Rusty & Curly slot review. But we didn’t because any bonus where you need to catch 4 scatters will be hard to get – look at Chaos Crew 2 slot, for example.
Also, we won over 700x our bet, which may have swayed us. Who knows?
In the Who Shot The Sheriff bonus, you get 12 free spins. On one spin, you collect multipliers on wild reels, and then you get 3 spins to win using the wild reel and multipliers. These can be huge multipliers of over 200x, but personally, the highest we got was 54x. And, as mentioned, we walked away very happy indeed.
The Dangerous but clever Buy Bonus features
Of course, the buy bonus is dangerous – it takes 200x your bet to trigger the Who Shot the Sheriff Slot, and you should never forget that this Rusty & Curly slot is highly volatile and, despite the goofy slot theme, highly dangerous.
But you have options in this Rusty & Curly mobile slot. You might have the money to pay 3x your bet a spin to increase your odds to catch the free spins, or even 50x your bet to get one spin with a guaranteed 5 sticky wilds on screen. These are far more affordable (though equally foolhardy) gambles.
Play smart, and use the wide betting range of 0.10 min bet to 100 max bet per spin to build your wad before you gamble on that buy bonus feature. Or just enjoy a fantastic sticky wild game with free spins that give you even more sticky wilds with big multipliers.
Sometimes, you need to strip it back to what you love and take anything else you get as a fun bonus.
The buy bonus isn’t available in all countries, for example the UK, so you might not be able to use this feature.

Rusty & Curly Bonus Features
Persistent Wild Symbols with Respins: The Wanted Poster is wild, and it can land with up to 3 hearts and a multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x or 10x. For every heart on the poster, you'll get a free re-spin of the reel with that wild poster still in play. Once the heart runs out, the re-spins end.
Any Free Spin Scatter that lands during the respins will be collected at the top of the reel. If you collect 3 or 4, you trigger a bonus.
3 Scatters and Stick to the Plan Free Spins: Get 3 free spin scatters in the base game to trigger 6 free spins. During these bonus rounds, you get richer reels filled with more wild posters, a great number of hearts, and bigger multipliers.
The multipliers in the free spins wild posters can vary: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 25x, 50x, or 100x. While there is a wild poster on screen, you'll keep getting free re-spins—it doesn't reduce your total free spin count.
4 Scatters and Who Shot the Sheriff Free Spins: If you get 4 free spins scatter symbols during one paid spin, you'll trigger the Who Shot The Sheriff? bonus. You will then play 12 free spins divided into 3 cycles.
One cycle consists of 1 Collect Phase Spin and 3 Payout Phase Spins.
- Collect Phase Spin: You will get an expanded wild reel with 1 to 6 shots. Those shots will gather payout multipliers ranging from 1x to 200x.
- Payout Phase Spin: The Wild reel is sticky, and the multiplier value from the Collect Phase is now applied to any win with the wild.
Landing 3 FS symbols will add 1 additional cycle, and landing 4 free spins symbols awards 2 additional cycles.
Buy Bonus: You have multiple buy bonus options.
- BonusHunt: For 3x your bet, each spin is 5x more likely to trigger a bonus game.
- The Stick Up: For 50x your bet, each spin is guaranteed to land at least 5 wild posters.
- Stick to the Plan: For 100x your bet, you buy this free spin feature.
- Who Shot The Sheriff: For 300x your bet, you buy this free spin feature.
