Wild West Gold

Dust off your best cowboy boots and Stetson hat, there’s a showdown happening in a dusty, old-timey town in the Wild West. This theme never ceases to attract players, and almost every game provider has their own spin on the action. In this case, online slots geniuses Pragmatic Play have rolled out an amazing title featuring attractive graphics and some cool features, too. The thing about Western-style slots is that they typically have the appearance of a movie set, and Wild West Gold is no different: you can almost feel the breeze on your chaps as you stride through the saloon door, with prairie dust settling on the sweat at the back of your neck… If you love a good showdown or hoedown, this could be the game for you! Take a wander through the streets of this town with Wildz and find out what the action is all about.

Design

There’s a looming flat-topped mountain range in the background of this town that nestles in the shadows of the mesa. Several wooden buildings line the main street (probably the only street), while old barrels roll on the ground and tough weeds try and gain a foothold in the dirt. A golden glow is in the air and the mood feels optimistic. There are the playing card symbols in wanted poster typeface, a sack of gold and a gun belt, as well as four human characters (either deputies or desperadoes). The Wild symbol is the sheriff’s star, substituting for all other symbols except the Scatter, setting the scene for the drama to follow. Game developers Pragmatic Play have delved into this genre before, with popular western Mustang Gold and Wolf Gold, so you know you’re getting a solid design all the way through.

Gameplay

Get the base game started by spinning the reels like the cylinders in a Colt .45, in the hope that, when they stop spinning, winning combinations of matching symbols will have settled in place. There’s a 40 payline, 5 reel** and 4 row grid in Wild West Gold, and the sheriff is worth the most at 20 times your stake for a line of five. Wilds can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. Whenever Wilds turn up, they come with a 2, 3 or 5x multiplier attached. If more than one Wild is part of a win, their multiplier values are combined to boost your wins.

Bonuses and features

The scope of bonus features in Wild West Gold is limited to the Free Spins round, but this round can transform the game completely, providing extensive opportunities to win generous rewards, if you’re lucky enough to see it come into play. Land 3 Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5, to trigger 8 free spins. Wilds continue to land on reels 2, 3, and 4, becoming sticky for the rest of the round. The original Scatter symbol is not part of the bonus round, however, other symbols, including Wilds, can be deputised with sheriff’s badge. When 2, 3, 4, or 5 of these badges are in view they award an extra 4, 8, 12, or 20 free spins respectively. Should you finish the Free Spins round with a win that’s less than 10x your stake, your win will automatically be upgraded to 10x your stake, but there’s also a celing to the win you can take away in the round. Once you hit that ceiling, the round ends.

Wild West Gold on mobile

Even if you’re stuck in a one-horse town, you can play Wild West Gold, as long as you have a decent internet connection. This game can be enjoyed on a desktop PC or via a mobile device such as a smart phone or a tablet, it’s up to you how you prefer to play.

Volatility

With all the action taking place, it’s no surprise that Wild West Gold comes with a high volatility setting, which means that while the games pay out less often (on average), the chance to scoop higher wins more often is alive and well. The Return-To-Player value comes in at 96.51%.

Worth a try?

Wild West Gold is the perfect in-between game, with more gameplay than a classic slot but not quite as much going on as other more recent titles. If you’re looking for a basic spin-and-maybe-win game with the chance to enjoy a Free Spins round, then this game could suit your preferences. Since it’s a Pragmatic Play title, the graphics are well done and the action is seamless. This 2020 game has been honoured with a follow-up title, Wild West Gold Megaways, in 2022, so you know for sure that the original game managed to engage plenty of players.
