The test was divided into intervals of 100 spins. Not a single segment was able to get into the plus. Evenly increasing loss led to the result of -442 stakes. For 1000 rounds, only five payouts of x10 and above took place. The best is x18.
Odds for combinations are low. The top three are x20, x12.5 and x7.5. The only way to win a tangible prize along the lines is to get three wild symbols at the same time. Any wild has a multiplier from x2 to x5.

Free spins didn't help in the test session. They were activated only twice. The winnings amounted to 58 and 10 bets. Significant prizes in free spins will be when more than 5 replacement symbols appear on the screen. In free spins, they are sticky - they are on the field during the entire bonus game.

Key features of the machine
The Wild West Gold video slot has three RTP values: 96.51%, 95.56% and 94.53%. This is called "ranges" (Ranges). The online casino, in agreement with the provider, chooses one of the values. A difference of 2% does not significantly affect the result for slots with high volatility.
The machine has an ultra-high pace automatic game: more than 60 spins per minute. To activate this feature, two checkboxes must be enabled at the same time: "Quick game" in the settings and "Turbo spin" just before the start of auto-spins. The second way to play extremely fast is to hold down the spacebar on the keyboard.
The range of bets in a gambling establishment: from 10 ₽ to 5000 ₽.

back to index ↑Expert Tips
The Wild West Gold slot from Pragmatic Play is suitable for experienced players with a bankroll of several thousand rates and a margin of time of 2-3 hours. Why is that? You need to immediately activate the bonus purchase function and not mess with the main gameplay.
If the player does not have the time and cash reserve, the best strategy is the lottery. Its meaning is to make 10-20 spins in order to catch the bonus, and then leave with any result.
It is dangerous to get involved in a long session, because it is impossible to get out of the growing loss without free spins. Free spins are activated no more than three times per 1000 rounds.
