Wild West Gold review

Theme and Storyline

Wild West Gold has a Wild West theme with a gold rush twist.

Players will ride into a dusty town filled with colorful characters, bandits, and femme fatales. If they can keep their trigger finger ready and make some new cowboy friends, they might snag a bag or two of gold.

This slot is a good fit for fans of Western films, and those dreaming of a day out on the range.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The rollicking soundtrack features lively piano notes that one might hear in a frontier saloon. Ambient chattering, clattering glasses, and gunshots make it clear that there is never a dull moment in this Western town.

The reels are filled with intriguing characters animated in a cartoon style. A redheaded cowgirl holds her pistol ready, while a scarred man in a black hat does the same. A devious-looking woman in pink gazes out from the reels with one eyebrow raised, half seductive and half threatening.

Bags of gold, gun holsters, and a range of colorful wooden letters also appear, adding to the historical gold rush atmosphere.

Beyond the reels, players will see a town of wooden buildings bathed in the light of a sunset. Barrels of booze and a wagon wheel sit outside the one with a sign reading ‘Saloon.’ It’s fun to imagine finishing the day there with a shot of whiskey.

Overall, the animation and soundtrack create a festive Western atmosphere.

Gameplay

Wild West Gold is a five reel, four row slot with 40 win lines.

The quick pace of the gameplay ensures that players will have no difficulty remaining engaged.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol.

A multiplier is associated with every Wild symbol when they land. These multipliers can be x2, x3, or x5, and the given multiplier will be applied to every win that the Wild symbol forms. If players land more than one Wild, the associated multipliers are added together.

Scatter symbols only appear on reels 1, 3, and 5, and landing all 3 triggers the Free Spins feature.

The Free Spins feature starts with 8 free spins and while in the feature, Wilds are sticky when they land on reels 2, 3, or 4. These Wilds remain in place until the end of the feature and reveal a multiplier that lasts for the duration of the feature.

The Scatter overlay symbol can appear over any symbol at random while in the Free Spins feature. Depending on how many land, players are awarded a certain number of free spins:

• x2 Scatter overlays = 4 free spins
• x3 Scatter overlays = 8 free spins
• x4 Scatter overlays = 12 free spins
• x5 Scatter overlays = 20 free spins

If the Free Spins feature comes to an end and players have a total win of less than 10x their total bet, they will be awarded winnings of 10x their total bet automatically.
