Free slot: Wild West Gold Megaways

How Wild West Gold Megaways works

In the world of online casinos, there are certain slot machines that set the standard in the industry, and this is the case of the Wild West Gold slot. Aware of the worldwide success of this achievement, Pragmatic Play teams have decided to release a new version: Wild West Gold Megaways. Just like many of the machines from this provider, the 2.0 versions of the most popular slots use this technology.

Just like the old version, you will be taken to the middle of the Wild West where brave warriors are waiting for you to fight by your side and leave with the jackpot that is hidden on this creation. The musical atmosphere is still as captivating as ever, while the graphics and animations are simple, but very effective.

When you play this slot machine, you will find a starting grid that changes with each spin. The columns count to the number of 6 while the symbols in the columns vary. The connections work in a classic way, and this is quite a rare thing for Megaways technology. Usually the connections are adjacent and cascading, but not here as you will read later in this review.

There are several features to get your teeth into in this new release from Pragmatic Play, while you will be able to unlock free games in Wild West Gold Megaways.

This is a slot machine that is open to all types of players, with a minimum bet of €0.20 and a maximum of €125. Wild West Gold Megaways is free to try at Lucky7Bonus.

For those who wish, you can also play for real money at any of the online casinos we provide. Don't forget that by using our site, you are entitled to exclusive welcome offers.

A great new feature of this slot is the double chance to win feature. This will cost you 25% of your starting bet per game round, but it will give you a better chance of getting the bonus games.

The second feature to get your teeth into is also present on the original version of Wild West Gold. A wild symbol can appear during your pay spins on columns 2, 3, 4 or 5 of your slot machine and with a multiplier between x 2 and x 5. The more wilds you have on your screen, the bigger your final win will be.

The different symbols of Wild West Gold Megaways

Wild West Gold Megaways is a slot game that contains several different symbols. At first, we will focus on two symbols: the bonus symbol and the wild.

The bonus symbol is represented by the same symbol as on the original slot machine. It allows you to get the free games on this slot machine, and it cannot make connections with other symbols.

Depending on the number of times it appears on a game spin, a payout is associated with it, in addition to the free spins.

• For 3 symbols, you win 4 times your initial bet

• For 4 symbols, you win 20 times your initial bet

• For 5 symbols, you win 100 times your initial bet

• For 6 symbols, you win 500 times your starting grid

The other very important symbol on this slot is the wild. The wild symbol is represented by a sheriff's star and it allows you to connect with all the other symbols in the slot, except for the one that gives the bonus games. It has no value, but just takes the value of the symbols it connects with. It can appear in x2, x3 and x5.

Next are the main symbols of the Wild West Gold Megaways slot machine and these are divided into two different categories: premium and non-premium symbols. In the first place, we will focus on the most important symbols in this slot: the premiums.

There are 6 of them and they are represented by :

• A cowboy

• A gangster on a green background

• A gangster on a blue background

• A gangster on a purple background

• Bags of gold

• A gun

They are so called because they have a much lower frequency of appearance than the symbols we will see next. However, as soon as these symbols are part of a connection, they can pay you massively. The following screen shows the values of each connection for a starting bet of 1 euro.

Then there are five other symbols, the non premium ones. As you might expect, these are called non premium symbols because they appear much more frequently. Therefore, as soon as they become part of a connection, they will pay you much less than the premium symbols.

These five symbols are represented by the highest values in a deck of cards: Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10.

The following screen also shows the different values of each symbol for a starting bet of 1 euro.

The different connections of Wild West Gold Megaways

As we explained in the introduction to this slot, the connections on this slot do not work in the traditional way. In the vast majority of cases, Megaways slots also use cascade connections. On Wild West Gold Megaways, this is not the case.

Thus, each time a connection is made, the next round is automatically started. For a connection to occur, the same symbol must appear at least once in your first three columns, regardless of where it is located. The farther it goes on your starting grid, the bigger your final win will be.

Megaways technology is very popular among players because it works with ways. The more ways you have, the more your connection will pay you. In total, this slot machine can have up to 117,649 different ways.

For those who do not understand the principle of adjacent connections, just look at the following screen.

It is very important to know that the connections on the Wild West Gold Megaways slot machine only work from left to right.

How the Wild West Gold Megaways bonus works

Just like the original slot machine, you will be able to get free games in this 2.0 version. In order to do so, you must have at least three times the bonus symbol on the same spin. If you get 3 or more symbols it doesn't matter, you will get 7 free spins.

The bonus rounds work in the same way as the base game: wild symbols can appear during any round of the game. Once they do, they remain until the end of your free spins. As you can see, in order to win the maximum payout, you need to have the most wild symbols in the most columns.

You will also be able to get extra games at Wild West Gold Megaways. For this, you will need to get at least two times the sheriff's star on the same game round. If you do, then you are entitled to free spins.

• For 2 stars = two free spins

• For 3 stars = three free spins

• For 4 stars = four free spins

• For 5 stars = five free spins

• For 6 stars = six free spins

Our opinion on Wild West Gold Megaways

Our opinion on this version of Wild West Gold Megaways is quite good. Pragmatic Play is a provider that does a pretty good job with the 2.0 versions of their most popular slots. Wild West Gold Megaways is no exception and it promises great wins if you are lucky.

The world of the Wild West is perfectly illustrated and the sound ambiance will help you to dive even more into this historical period of the United States. There are no real novelties concerning the paid games and the free games. You can still buy them for 100 times your initial stake.

Wild West Gold Megaways is a very volatile slot where you can win up to 5,000 times your initial bet. The last very important point about this slot is its theoretical return to the player. On the vast majority of slot machines, it is 96%. Here there are three different RTPs:

• If you play in the normal way, the RTP is 96.44
