Based on how I thought the game worked based on my play:
That's weird, I thought if you landed the marshal and sheriff badges in the bonus it starts the super bonus.
Deputy and marshal badges are not wild until they both land in the same spin and you enter the superbonus where they turn into roaming wilds like the normal scatters do.
Landing a deputy badge by itself in the normal bonus is supposed to trigger a feature that turns all non premiums into the same non premium symbol.
Landing a Marshal badge by itself in the bonus round is supposed to turn all premiums into into the same premium symbol.
Landing Deputy and Marshal in the same spin is supposed to start the Superbonus with 5 roaming wilds.
Landing Deputy and Marshal badges in the bonus is also supposed to grant you +1 spin each time.
I think they game ran into some error due to the win amount been so small - it was so small that the game couldn't display even a low paying symbol on reel one without the graphical representation of the win exceeding the paltry 8x total bonus win, - it had to display a non paying symbol (the deputy badge) and not initiate the feature associated with the deputy badge.
Maybe the win you were supposed to get actually exceeded the max win by 8x and the game bugged out. (very unlikely)
