Western Gold Megaways Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

The theme of the slot is of course the legendary Wild West, and iSoftbet in our opinion have made an excellent job both visually and audibly of Western Gold Megaways online slot. The reels of the game are set upon a building in an old western town, which is more than likely the saloon, whilst the sound effects and music put you right back in the those crazy gunslinging times. We recommend plugging in your headphones on this one if you can, so that you can fully emerge yourself in the game and appreciate the soundtrack and audio.

Moving on to the paytable, it’s the classic royal symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K, and Ace, that make up the lower pays. The higher value symbols in the slot comprise of the spurs, whiskey bottle, cowboy hat and gun, where 6 of a kind win will pay 4x, 5x, 10x and 50x respectively. The wild symbol in the game is represented by a silvery gold square, and will substitute for all other regular in-game symbols.

If after playing the demo slot of Western Gold Megaways you now fancy yourself as a bit of a Clint Eastwood, you might want to try the game out for real money. If so, then spinning your way into the action can take place from just €0.20, up to a maximum of €20. A very admirable return to player percentage of 95.98% is also attached to the slot, which on current form is pretty much the average for an online slot these days.

Base Game & Modifiers

The potential cowboy and cowgirls amongst you that play Western Gold Megaways video slot, will do so across a 6×7 reel set, where up to 117,649 paylines can be active on any spin. As is typical with most games, landing 3 or more symbols adjacent to one another from the leftmost reel first will award a win. Although it is worth noting that in the case of the top symbol, only 2 will need to land for a win to be paid.

Cascading Reels

The ever popular cascading reels mechanic features in Western Gold Megaways, and can help you out in bringing some extra cash to your playing balance. This in-game mechanic is widely used throughout Megaways and comes in to play when a winning combination has been made on the reels. All symbols that are involved in a win will explode to the sound of a gunshot, which then leaves spaces behind on the reels. New symbols will then drop down from above to fill any gaps and give further chances to win. This will continue until there are no further winning connections on the reels, at this point a new spin will need to be initiated.

Bonus Add

The bonus add is a feature that can trigger randomly at any time during your play in the base game. Once triggered, extra bonus scatter symbols will be added to the reels to increase your chances of initiating the respin feature. This is by no means a guarantee that you will trigger the free spins, but from our experience it does tend to lead to a bonus more often than not.

Western Gold Megaways Respin Feature

The bonus feature on Western Gold Megaways is really a respin feature as much as it is a free spin feature. To trigger this bonus you will need 5 or more of the scatter symbols to land anywhere in view. Once this takes place you will be awarded with 3 respins.

Before the bonus begins, the amount of Megaways that you triggered the free spins with will become locked for the duration of the feature. You will also note that a chamber to a gun appears with 3 bullets in, these bullets represent your total amount of respins.

As the gun fires the reels begin to spin, and the aim is to land more scatter multipliers in the empty positions on the reels. There are also fixed jackpot amounts that can land during these respins that are highlighted to the right of the reels. These are the Mega 50x, Major 25x and Minor 10x jackpots.

Each time that a new multiplying scatter or fixed jackpot symbol lands on the reels, your gun chamber will reload back to the original stating position of 3 bullets, which means 3 respins.

The ultimate goal on the respin bonus is to fill each row with multiplying scatter symbols and jackpots. If you can successfully fill a row, then it will trigger the full reel multiplier which will dramatically effect the amount of winnings that you are paid. If the the completed row for example holds 6 symbols, then when it’s filled the multiplier will be x6. If it holds 4 symbols the multiplier will be x4 and so on.

Western Gold Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts

Western Gold Megaways is a beautifully crafted slot from iSoftbet. We always appreciate how much attention to detail seems to have gone into certain games, and Western Gold Megaways fits into that category. Some players may recognise this format of slot from a previous iSoftbet Megaways title named Aztec gold Megaways. These games are indeed very similar, but Aztec Gold was of a more volatile variety, so you can expect this latest addition to their growing portfolio to be a little less harsh. Make sure that you try out plenty of practice spins in the free play slot of Western Gold Megaways in our review. Then you’ll be able to gauge a true reflection of what this game can potentially do.
