About Wild West Gold Megaways

Released in September 2022, Wild West Gold Megaways adapts the 2020 western hit Wild West Gold to the Megaways format, transposing the iconic western identity (cowboys, saloon, desert, cash symbols) with cascading wins, an unlimited progressive Free Spins multiplier, and a max win doubled to 5,000x (vs 5,000x on the original). The format is a 6-reel Megaways with variable reel heights of 2-7 symbols, giving between 324 and 117,649 ways to win per spin. RTP 96.44%, high volatility. Signature mechanics: cascading wins where winning symbols disappear and new ones drop in, potentially chaining indefinitely on a single spin; an unlimited progressive multiplier in Free Spins that climbs by +1 with every winning cascade; and Cash Money symbols (values x1 to x100 stake) collected by a wild Cowboy during Free Spins. The bonus triggers with 4+ scatters (roughly 1 in 200 spins in the base game): 4 scatters award 10 Free Spins, 5 award 14, 6 award 18. Bonus buy is available at 100x stake (banned in the UK).
