Wild West Gold Blazing Bounty review

Theme and Storyline

Pragmatic Play's Wild West Blazing Bounty is set in a majestic canyon at golden hour, and the aim is to help the sly cowboys and cowgirls on their hunt for bags of treasure.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Watch the tumbleweeds float across the background and the leaves wave lazily in the breeze. The actual game grid takes the form of a wooden billboard, and the symbols are brightly colored. They even animate and bounce around when you land a win.

A slow and smoldering soundtrack really sets the tone for the desert theme. The background music is a twanging guitar tune, which starts off relaxed but kicks into gear once those reels start spinning.

Gameplay

Wild West Gold Blazing Bounty Riches is played on a 5x5 game grid, but you'll notice something unique here—there are no paylines. Wins pay out when the same symbols land in blocks on the grid, touching each other either vertically or horizontally. At least five identical symbols are needed to trigger a win.

The highest-paying symbols are the cowboy characters, followed by the cowgirls and a bag overflowing with gold nuggets. Smaller wins are awarded for the A, K, Q, and J symbols.

There aren't a huge amount of other features to the gameplay, so it's very simple and straightforward for a new player to learn.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols, except the Scatter, and takes on a random Multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x. Multipliers apply to all winning combinations that they form part of.

The Scatter symbol can appear on any reel, and it's represented by a canyon scene at sunset. If you land three or more of them, you'll get 10 Free Spins. If the Free Spins round is triggered by four Scatters, the Wild Multipliers can have a value of up to 10x, and with five Scatters it’s up to 25x. Wilds remain on the reels until the end of the Free Spins round.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

You can set your bet and coin value to create a total stake amount that works for you. The minimum bet is $/€/£0.20 per spin, while the maximum is $/€/£240, or $/€/£480 with the Ante Bet feature turned on. If you get really lucky, you could be walking away with the maximum payout of up to 7,500x your stake.

The volatility of the game is high, so while you might have to wait a little while for a win, payouts tend to be a little bigger. The Return to Player (RTP) percentage comes in at 96.48%, just slightly better than average.

Conclusion

Wild West-themed slot games are hardly a new concept. There are lots of them out there, and they all look relatively similar. So, what makes this one worth your while? Firstly, it's made by Pragmatic Play, so the graphics and overall performance of the game are better than most. And with a chance to win up to 7,500x, plus a few exciting features like Wild Multipliers and a Free Spins round, it's certainly with a spin.
