Wild West Gold Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Theme

Wild West Gold is an action-packed online slot from Pragmatic Play that takes place in, well, the wild west. The game is set in an old west town square, surrounded by wooden buildings. The poker symbols are designed to look like they’re made of wood, and the high-paying symbols feature gold, guns and different inhabitants of the town.

The game features great-looking graphics in a style that is characteristic of Pragmatic Play slots. Overall, the game is well-designed and looks polished – but we wouldn’t expect anything less from this game developer when creating a Wild West slot.

How to Play

Wild West Gold is a 40-payline online slot, and players can wager between .20 coins and 100 coins per spin. In the game’s autoplay menu, you can set the reels to spin on their own for up to 100 spins, set loss/win limits and turn on the turbo spin feature.

RTP & Volatility

The RTP (return to player) of Wild West Gold from Pragmatic Play is 96.51%, which is pretty average for slots nowadays. It is also a high volatility game – 5/5 on Pragmatic Play’s scale.

How to Win

Landing three or more matching symbols on the same payline will trigger winning combinations while you play Wild West Gold. The most generous symbol in the game is the sheriff, who pays out a prize worth 20x your stake. This might not sound like much, but there are some bonus features at play to help improve your winning potential.

Free Spins and Bonuses

The main bonus feature that you’ll trigger most often is the wild multiplier. The wild appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and, whenever it is involved in a win, it will apply a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier to your prize.

When you land three scatter symbols, you’ll trigger the free spins round. You’ll start with 8 free spins and all wilds that land during this bonus will remain in place for the rest of the round – and, they’ll provide multipliers just like they do in the base game.

There are also scatter overlay symbols that will appear overtop of other symbols. If two or more of these land, you’ll receive additional free spins:

• - 2 scatters for 4 free spins
• - 3 scatters for 8 free spins
• - 4 scatters for 12 free spins
• - 5 scatters for 20 free spins

Scatter overlays bring something new to online slots by putting a small twist on a classic feature. Since they don’t take up spots for other symbols, it becomes a bit easier for players to retrigger the bonus game and get more free spins.

Then, there’s a consolation prize. If your win from the free spin is less than 10x your stake, then you’ll receive a 10x prize for the bonus game.

Overall Review

Wild West Gold isn’t a hugely innovative game but it takes classic slot features and changes them up a bit to give you a more rewarding gaming experience. It’s great that all wilds turn into multipliers, allowing you to bag some very generous wins throughout the base game and free spins round.

On Its Way to Becoming a Classic

This is an online slot that we can see becoming a classic, like NetEnt’s Dead Or Alive. There aren’t loads of bells and whistles but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The hugely successful WWG slot does have what it takes to become the kind of timeless slot that players will continue to enjoy years from now.
