Bounty Gold - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

There are a few things we want in free play slots: smooth gameplay, an exciting base game and maybe some thrilling bonus features. Pragmatic Play offers all this and more in Bounty Gold, a 5-reel slot that starts with 25 paylines but has a re-spins feature where you can unlock whole new reels.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Take a stroll down main street in your search for a golden reward, but only if you manage to collect the bounty. On one side is the bank, the other the saloon, whilst a dusty street lies underfoot and clouds scuttle overhead. A wanted poster blows past in the wind, a reminder that this is a time of outlaws and vigilantes. Do you make your money by stealing from others or by capturing the robbers and collecting the reward? The cowboy and cowgirl on the reels are accompanied by other symbols of this iconic era, from hats to horseshoes and card symbols carved in wood, whilst the background melody is exactly what you’d expect if you were watching a Western movie.

Bounty Gold RTP and Variance

Pragmatic Play demo slots tend to be fairly good in their RTP, and Bounty Gold is no exception. It has a more than solid 96.50% average, even allowing for those natural deviations that make slots at once exciting and frustrating. The uncertainty increases thanks to the high variance, which means that wins may be less frequent (but higher when they do occur).

How to Play Bounty Gold

Hand on your pistol for a high noon duel:

1. If you’ve played any Pragmatic Play slots before, this layout may seem familiar. Start with the cluster of buttons at the bottom left corner.
2. First, there’s the settings button. In the settings menu, you’ll find a bet adjustor as well as toggles for battery saver (reduce animations), ambient music and sound effects.
3. There’s also a link to your game history to check how much you’ve bet and how much you’ve won. It's always useful if you want to stick to your limits and know when it’s time to step away.
4. Also in the bottom corner of the main screen is another volume adjustor. This one doesn’t split effects and music, but it does allow you to slide it louder or softer, as well as just muting.
5. Third and final in this corner is the info button that leads to the paytable, allowing you the most complete view of how the game works.
6. If you didn’t choose a wager in the settings menu, you can do it using the plus and minus symbols flanking the spin button. It gives you three adjustors for coins per line, coin value and total bet.
7. The best way to choose an appropriate wager is to look at your total balance at the bottom of the screen, work out how much you can afford to lose in contrast to your personal enjoyment of risk, and be sensible.
8. Somewhat unusually, Bounty Gold doesn’t appear to have an autoplay option. That means you have to take it one spin at a time, although this does mean you will stay in control the whole way through.

Always play responsibly and don’t chase losses.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Your coins per line ranges from 1 to 10. The coin value can be between 0.01 and 0.50. That means a minimum total bet of 0.25 and maximum of 125.00.

Bounty Gold Bonus Features

So, you know what the regular symbols do, and you can probably guess about the wild. That leaves one symbol that looks very intriguing and potentially valuable,. This is the bag of gold money symbol. It has its own randomly assigned value, and it’s what you need if you want to trigger Money Re-spins.

It takes 6 money symbols to unlock the first of 4 matrices. The second is unlocked at 9 symbols, the third at 18 and the fourth at 26. These special reels contain only money symbols and spaces. You have 3 re-spins to start with, but can retrigger by finding yet more money symbols. At the end of the round, you’ll be awarded the total of all your money symbols, plus any multipliers.

Unlocking the first matrix comes with a 25x fixed jackpot, the second is 50x, the third 500x and the fourth an astonishing 5000x. You also receive a 5x multiplier for finding 44 or more money symbols.

You can win a money symbol jackpot without triggering re-spins if you find a random fiery money symbol.

Bounty Gold Review

Bounty Gold has the imagery that will appeal to any Western fan, although the overall narrative (Who’s the outlaw? Who’s the hero?) is less clear. The money re-spins feature may seem complicated at first, but what is apparent is that if you’re lucky enough to trigger it and unlock the matrices (easier said than done), there are opportunities for big wins. You may also want to try other games from the same developer, like Pragmatic Play's Caishens Gold slot.
