Wild West Gold Megaways slot

Wild West Gold Megaways slot by Pragmatic Play uses pretty much the same look, symbols and music or sound effects as their older 40-liner of the same name, Wild West Gold slot. Add to that elements of The Dog House Megaways, one of their more popular games and then imagine say Buffalo Blitz slot and its feature mechanic and you've got a complete idea of what we have here. So is the gold seam still productive or will it be our bankroll that is mined here?

On the reels...
You get 6 reels of 2-7 rows apiece on Wild West Gold Megaways slot with single and stacked symbols with no top scroll, meaning 64-117649 ways to win. The pays are low here with the Sheriff at 1x bet for 6-of-a-kind wins, Outlaw 0.75x, Cowgirl 0.6x, Lady Outlaw 0.5x, Gold Sacks or Guns 0.4x and five card values of 0.3 or 0.25x for each full way. there's no random modifiers here but there is a reason for the low symbol pays - multiplying Wilds of 2, 3 or 5x can appear on reels 2-5 and are multiplicative, so 625x is possible! Our final symbol appears on all reels and is the Desert scatter.

Free Games
You need 3 or more scatters to appear for 7 free games no matter how many land, but get all 6 for a nice 500x head start to your round! Your enhancement is that all multiplier Wilds are now sticky and you can get more than one per reel too. Some symbols are overlaid with a Sheriff Star and 2 or more will award an extra spin for each in view. You can buy this feature for 100x bet in some countries or in all places you can opt for the 25% extra stake for an increased feature chance. You are though capped at 5,000x for the bonus.

Our View...
Wild West Gold Megaways slot has a good 96.44% RTP and 96.45% for bonus buys if applicable to you. The sounds, graphics and animations are pretty average and the base game isn't great as it relies on the occasional appearance of multiple Wilds to pay anything decent. Free games aren't hard to trigger and can be quite exciting if you get early Wilds on reels 2,3 and 4 for guaranteed good wins for all remaining spins. If you don't the bonus is dire, put quite simply. Disappointment is obvious in the first 2 or 3 spins alas. I am not sure this is the place I'd go prospecting for any gold...
