Pragmatic Play, a prominent provider of content for the iGaming sector, has introduced a new title to its established Wild West Gold series, titled Wild West Gold Blazing Bounty.
Western theme
This latest instalment continues the thematic exploration of the American frontier, featuring symbols and imagery such as firearms, gold, and bandit figures which populate the game’s reels.
Wild West Gold Blazing Bounty is structured around a 5×5 grid and utilises a cluster-pays mechanic, diverging from traditional payline systems. In the base game, wild symbols can appear with randomly assigned multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 5x. When multiple wild multipliers contribute to a single cluster win, their values are summed before being applied to the payout, potentially enhancing the win amount significantly.
Key features
The game incorporates a scatter symbol mechanic, whereby the appearance of three or more scatter symbols on the reels awards the player access to a bonus feature comprising ten free spins. Within this bonus round, the value of the multipliers attached to wild symbols is determined by the number of scatters that initially triggered the feature.
Specifically, if three scatters are present, wilds can carry multipliers of either 2x or 5x; with four scatters, this range increases to between 2x and 10x; should five scatters trigger the bonus, multipliers can span from 10x up to 25x. An additional feature of the free spins round is the sticky nature of wild multipliers, meaning that once a wild with a multiplier lands, it remains fixed on the reels for the duration of the free spins. This increases the probability of forming high-value clusters and enhances the overall win potential during the bonus feature.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said:
Wild West Gold Blazing Bounty introduces cluster pays, wild multipliers up to 25x, and a 7,500x max win to Pragmatic Play’s popular frontier-themed slots series.
