Wild West Gold slot

Wild West Gold is a straightforward payline slot: five reels, four rows, 40 fixed lines, and wins paid left to right. What makes it different is the wild. The sheriff badge only lands on reels 2, 3 and 4, and every one carries a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier. One wild in a R4 line win at 5x turns it into R20. Two in the same win multiply each other, so a 5x and a 3x on one line pays 15 times the line value. That is where the base game's bigger hits come from.

The free spins start with three canyon scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, which gives eight spins. The rule change inside the round is simple: any wild that lands stays put until the round ends, multiplier and all. Eight spins is short, so what matters is whether sticky wilds arrive early. A 5x on reel 3 by spin two means every line through that reel pays five times over for the rest of the feature, and a second one next to it pushes that to 25x.

Retriggers come from gold star overlays rather than more scatters. Two stars add four spins, three add eight, four add twelve and five add twenty. That is how an eight spin round stretches into thirty, and how the 10,000x maximum becomes reachable: a grid full of sticky multiplier wilds and enough spins to pay through them. The game also tops up any round that pays under 10x the stake to exactly 10x, so a dead bonus still returns something.

Volatility is high. The base game can run long stretches of small line pays while you wait for the scatter line to land, and the 96.51% RTP is the standard setting. Scorebet carries the Pragmatic Play catalogue, so the bonus buy at 100x the stake is there where it is offered: at R2 a spin that is R200 for one eight spin round. There is no ante bet on this one, so the only way to reach the feature faster is to buy it.
