Slot Features
The sheriff’s badge is the Wild symbol in the game that can substitute for all the symbols in the game except the Scatter, and it can appear only on reels 2 through 5. Each time a Wild lands it will come with a random multiplier attached that can be x2, x3 or x5. If you happen to hit more than 1 Wild then the multipliers will multiply each other.
Free Spins
You will need to hit at least 3 Scatters to trigger the feature or buy your way into the feature. If you choose the classic way to the feature then you should know that apart from triggering the feature, the Scatters will also award scatter pays, which will depend on the number of triggering symbols. Once the feature is triggered, you will get 7 spins awarded.
During the feature, Wilds will also come with multipliers attached, and they will also stick to the reels until the feature ends, however, it’s not going to be unusual to see them change in size as the reel size changes.
Gold Badge is the Scatter overlay symbol that can appear randomly during the feature on top of any symbol including sticky Wild symbols, and these can award extra spins. You will need a minimum of 2 Overlays and can get a max of 6 Overlays to trigger between 2 and 6 spins. The number of spins depends on the number of symbols.
Summary
Wild West Gold Megaways is the expected revamp of the original. When we’re talking about visual aspects, it looks as solid as the original and the changes are cosmetics, luckily for the better. In terms of gameplay, there are some slight changes but mostly contributed to the new Megaways mechanic. What we found disappointing is the lowered max exposure which in Megaways version is now x5000, which, if you ask us, is seriously underestimating the power of Megaways, and I am sure everyone expected higher numbers. In any case, it’s a solid slot but with a very disappointing max win cap.
Wild west gold Megaways is a newly launched slot game by pragmatic play.
The game is based on the original slot called wild west gold, which has been considered to be a success by Pragmatic play.
The new slot has the one and only Megaways system allowing players to win more frequently and easier, I supposed. The minimum bet is 0.20 cents per spin, while the max win potential is 5000x your initial bet. Until now, as you can see there is no difference between the original slot except for the Megaways feature. It also offers a double chance to land the feature, by increasing your bet up to 25%.
But of course, you can also buy the bonus feature. To trigger the bonus feature, all you have to do is land 3 bonus scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Then you are awarded 7 free games. The scatter overlay symbol appears randomly of course and by just 2 of them you get additional free spins.
The goal is to land multiplier wild symbols that become sticky. The concept of the bonus game resembles the bonus feature of the dog house Megaways. I tried this slot a couple of times and I had some nice runs, to be honest. Even the base game was interesting since you have chances of winning something decent. The difficulty of triggering the bonus feature does not seem to be high so you can expect to trigger the bonus feature quite easier in comparison to other slot games.
Until now, my biggest win in wild west gold Megaways is a 350x win and to be honest I am good with that since I have not played it a lot of times.
I liked the game even though the max win potential is exactly the same as the original, I can surely say that I had a better time playing this slot than the previous.
