With an obvious Wild West theme, Western Gold has been exclusively developed for Microgaming by Just For The Win. This highly volatile slot has a decent RTP of 96.12% which is around average for a slot and comes with a max win of 10,000x the bet per spin.JFTW and Microgaming have many successful collaborations in the past and Western Gold looks set to follow in the footsteps of previous slots from the provider.

Western Gold Design

Western Gold is played across 5 reels with 40 active paylines. As with many Microgaming slots, it’s available to play on desktop, mobile, and tablet devices from 10p up to £40 per spin.Set in a dusty canyon with a blues soundtrack, high definition symbols include cowboy hats and boots, pistols, and whips. Higher value symbols are represented by BAR, double BAR, and treble BAR. A gold W represents the wild and this substitutes all symbols.

Gameplay

The game is all about the scatters, collecting scatters during the base game could see wins of up to 10,000x the bet.Look out for the horseshoe scatter, if you land four or more you are awarded a cash prize, if you are lucky enough to land twelve, you’ll bag 10,000x your bet.If you land three or more badge scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 you’ll get three spins. Collecting horseshoe scatters in this feature resets the free spins back to three. The number of scatters collected at the end of the round decides what prize you are awarded. The more scatters the bigger the prize.

Conclusion

If you are someone who loves the thrill of a highly volatile slot and big jackpots then Western Gold will be right up your street. Although the design and theme are nothing new, the features are what make the game interesting with potential max wins of 10,000x the bet.
