Wild West Gold Megaways takes the one idea that made the original work, wilds with multipliers that stick during the bonus, and puts it on a reel set that changes shape every spin. Each of the six reels shows between two and seven symbols, which means a tall board gives 117,649 ways and a short one gives a few hundred. Ways pay on adjacent reels from the left, so a symbol on reel 1 and reel 2 pays whatever the reel heights are.

The wilds land on reels 2 to 5 with a 2x, 3x or 5x attached, and they multiply each other when more than one sits in a win. On a tall board that is a lot of ways passing through one 5x wild, which is where the base game's bigger pays come from. The multipliers only count on a winning way, so a 5x wild on a reel with nothing connecting to it does nothing for that spin.

Three or more scatters start the free spins, and they pay first: 4x, 20x, 100x or 500x the stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters, before a single spin is played. The round is seven spins, fewer than the original's eight, and every wild that lands stays for the rest of it. Gold star overlays add one spin per star, between two and six at a time. The 5,000x cap is lower than the original's 10,000x, and it ends the round the moment it is reached.

The standard RTP is 96.44% and the volatility is high: a seven spin round with no early sticky wild can pay very little beyond the scatter money. Scorebet carries the Pragmatic Play catalogue, so the bonus buy at 100x the stake is available where offered, R200 at R2 a spin. The double chance option is there too, and it is priced per spin inside the game, so check the amount before you switch it on.

What the features do

  • Megaways reels: each of the six reels shows between 2 and 7 symbols on every spin, so the number of ways changes spin by spin up to 117,649
  • Wild multipliers: wilds land on reels 2 to 5 with a 2x, 3x or 5x value, and more than one wild in a win multiplies together
  • Scatter pays on trigger: 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters pay 4x, 20x, 100x or 500x the stake before the free spins start
  • Sticky wilds in free spins: every multiplier wild that lands stays on the grid until the round ends
  • Gold star retriggers: 2 to 6 gold star overlays add 2 to 6 extra spins, one per star
  • Double chance feature: the base game carries Pragmatic's double chance option for the free spins, and a bonus buy at 100x the stake where offered

Before you spin

  1. The scatter pay is the only guaranteed money in the feature. Six scatters pay 500x before a spin is played, which is most of what a strong round returns.
  2. Short reels kill multiplier wilds. A 5x on reel 3 when reels 4 and 5 show two symbols each has very few ways to pay through it.
  3. A bought round at 100x needs to clear more than the 4x scatter pay plus 96x from seven spins. That is a tall order without two stickies landing early.
  4. Count the gold stars as single spins, not a retrigger. Two stars add two spins, which is not the same as the 20 extra the original can give.

Wild West Gold Megaways questions

What is the RTP of Wild West Gold Megaways?

96.44% on the standard version. Lower settings exist, so the figure can differ by operator. It is a long-run average, not a session promise.

What is the maximum win on Wild West Gold Megaways?

5,000 times the stake, half the original Wild West Gold's cap. At R2 a spin that is R10,000, and the round ends when it is hit.

How many free spins do you get?

Seven, regardless of how many scatters trigger the round. The scatters pay separately: 4x, 20x, 100x or 500x the stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6. Gold star overlays during the round add one spin each, from two to six at a time.

Is Wild West Gold Megaways better than the original?

It is a different shape. The ways change every spin and the scatters pay on the way in, but the round is one spin shorter and the max win is half. The sticky multiplier wilds are the same idea in both.

Can I play Wild West Gold Megaways in South Africa?

Yes. Scorebet carries the Pragmatic Play catalogue under its Northern Cape Gambling Board licence. Players must be 18 or older and registered.
