About the game
Pragmatic Play 2020: where Wild West Gold fits
Released March 2020 by Pragmatic Play. Part of the studio’s high-volatility wave.
In our catalog I place it as a straight western with standardized mechanics. No modern persistence gimmicks, but a payout profile that demands patience.
Core spin: symbol paytable and x2/x3/x5 wilds
Symbol-based paytable. Wins pay per valid combinations at the values shown on screen.
During spins, wilds can carry x2/x3/x5 multipliers. Variance is pushed into a few key moments; otherwise the base game is linear.
95.56% RTP and HIGH volatility: so what
Declared RTP: 95.56%. Below the median for 2020 releases we track.
Volatility is HIGH. Expect skewed returns: many small or empty spins, and occasional spikes when multipliers line up. Not a gentle slot.
10,000x ceiling: the price of the headline
Theoretical max win: 10,000x. In line with the studio’s peaks for that year.
You pay for this with a below-median RTP and steep variance. Value is packed into rare multiplier setups; most sessions reflect that.
8 Free Spins bought for €200: what actually happened
I bought the bonus at the displayed €200 price for 8 Free Spins. The screen confirmed “YOU HAVE WON 8 FREE SPINS.”
In play, wilds with x2/x3/x5 appeared, and a mid-round €3.50 win was captured with 7 spins left. The final total screen wasn’t in our frames, so I’ll stick to these observed values.
Rules
How wins are formed
Wins follow the on-screen paytable (e.g., sheriff 5 pays €40, 4 pays €10, 3 pays €3; outlaw 5: €25, 4: €7.50, 3: €2.50; cowgirl 5: €15, 4: €4, 3: €1.50).
Evaluation follows a classic symbol-paytable scheme; no “ways” mechanic was indicated in our test build.
Listed mechanics
The game includes free spins, wild multipliers, and a buy feature. Wild multipliers x2/x3/x5 were visible during play.
No other mechanics are publicly listed for this title beyond buy-feature, free-spins, multiplier.
Accessing the bonus
Free Spins can trigger naturally or via Buy Feature. In our session it was purchased for €200 and awarded 8 spins, as shown on screen.
During the bonus, wilds may carry multipliers (x2/x3/x5). We can’t confirm re-trigger specifics from our frames, so we won’t extrapolate.
Paytable
| Sheriff | 5: €40 · 4: €10 · 3: €3 |
|---|---|
| Outlaw | 5: €25 · 4: €7,50 · 3: €2,50 |
| Cowgirl | 5: €15 · 4: €4 · 3: €1,50 |

Verdict
- Clear, impactful x2/x3/x5 wild multipliers.
- Theoretical max win of 10,000x.
- Buy Feature for direct bonus access.
- 95.56% RTP, below median for 2020.

Wild West Gold is classic Pragmatic math: high risk, spiky potential via multipliers. Bonus access via buy changes pacing, not the underlying expectation.
