Game Overview

Grab yourself a shot of bourbon from the bar and polish up your six-shooters as we take you back in time with Pragmatic Play and their Wild West slot game. Yes, my fellow slot fanatics, we’re heading into the western slot genre again in this 5-reel game featuring 40 fixed paylines, an RTP of 96.51%, and wins up to a maximum of 50,000x the bet.

We’ve got some great bonuses and modifiers to tell you about, starting with the stacked symbols and multiplying wilds feature in the base game. However, it’s the free spins bonus where things begin to heat up and get interesting. Once you activate the round by landing a scatter symbol on reels 1, 3, and 5, all wilds that land in view will remain sticky for the duration of the bonus, and with them containing multipliers too, this feature has the potential to pay you out some hefty sized wins that any gunslinger would be proud of. Keep a look out for the re-triggers whilst the feature is active. These can make all the difference in turning a standard win into an epic one.

If you’ve played as many Western slots as we have here at Demoslot, you’ll surely fancy yourself as being the Billy the Kid of the iGaming world. Put your skills to the ultimate test and put our Wild West Gold slot demo through its paces. It’s ready for you to play below.

Wild West Gold Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Wild West Gold Paytable

Classic western themed online slots like NetEnt’s Dead or Alive paved the way for a whole host of games to be created in that genre, and Pragmatic Play has created a very appealing slot game when it comes to their Wild West Gold slot machine. In fact, this release has been so popular that upon gaining a Megaways license from Big Time Gaming, Pragmatic decided to upgrade the title, and players were treated to a sequel in the form of the Wild West Gold Megaways slot. It’s time to get back to the original game now though, so let’s find out what kind of money you can win over at the pays section.

At the top of the paytable, we have four outlaws. Two Males paying 40x and 25x, respectively, for a five of a kind win, and Two Females worth 15x and 10x, respectively, for a winning combo of five. Making up the remaining symbols in the premium section are the Bags of Coins valued at 7.5x, and finally, the Gun & Holster paying 5x the bet for a completed line of five. Onto the low pays, there are five royal symbols in play, where the Ace and King share equal payouts of 3x for a full line of five, and the Queen, Jack and Ten all pay 2x the bet for a five of a kind hit.

Those interested in playing the Wild West Gold slot for real money can start the reels spinning from just €0.20, with the maximum stake reaching a massive €100. It’s certainly worth heading to the information section of the game before you start playing just to check in on the return to player percentage. This is due to multiple RTP values being offered to operators, with the lowest reaching 94.53%.

Wild West Gold Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Pragmatic’s Wild West Gold slot is played over a 5×4 reel matrix with a total of 40 paylines active in the base game and bonus round. Players will be awarded a win when at least three matching symbols hit on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel first. The matching symbols must also hit on one of the active lines.

Multiplying Wilds

The base game on Wild West Gold doesn’t offer up any random modifiers, but you can still get a decent win or two to keep your balance ticking over. Keep a lookout for Multiplying Wilds that can land on reels 2, 3, and 4. These will carry a multiplier value of either x2, x3, or 5x and can help to enhance your wins significantly.

Wild West Gold Slot Bonus Features

Wild West Gold Free Spins Feature

The free spin bonus on Wild West Gold is triggered through a scatter symbol landing on each of the reels 1, 3, and 5. When this occurs, you will be awarded 8 free spins to begin the bonus round.

Free Spins

To see any success during the bonus round, you will need the wild multiplier symbols to land in any position on reels 2, 3, and 4. Just as in the base game, these will carry a random multiplier value with them, and to make things more interesting, once these symbols land, they will become sticky and remain in place for the duration of the bonus.

Additional free spins may be won during the bonus feature, which is achieved by the star scatter symbols landing on the reels. The following amount of scatters will award the corresponding amount of free spins.

  • 2 Scatters = 4 Extra Spins
  • 3 Scatters = 8 Extra Spins
  • 4 Scatters = 12 Extra Spins
  • 5 Scatters = 20 Extra Spins

Pros

  • Two bonus features to trigger.
  • Free spins seem to activate with relative frequency.

Cons

  • Below average RTP.
  • Low maximum win cap of 5,000x.

Wild West Gold Slot Review Final Thoughts

Pragmatic Play has a tidy little game in the shape of Wild West Gold, and there is undoubtedly potential to be unlocked during the free spin bonus if luck is on your side. This is an extremely volatile slot, though, so just be aware many of the bonus rounds can award relatively low amounts. If you enjoy this sort of risk, you'll also want to try out NetEnt's Dead or Alive 2 slot, another highly volatile slot game in the Western slot niche.
