Microgaming has announced the release of a new slot game titled ‘Western Gold’ that was developed by Just For The Win and is available exclusively on Microgaming’s platform.

The Wild West themed ‘Western Gold’ is a 5 reel, 4 rows and 40 pay line slot game that is playable from $0.10 up to $40 per spin on desktop, mobile and tablet devices.

The new high volatility slot game comes with an RTP of 96.12%.

The Western themed symbols such as the pistols, bullwhip, boots and hats are the lower value symbols while the higher value symbols are Sevens and a number of Bar Logos. 

The game’s winning combinations, formed with either Lucky 7s or Wilds, rewards players with 30x their stake per full combo and up to 1,200 x if the reels are covered with top symbols. 

Players can collect Scatter symbols during the Free Spins feature or get in the Base Game to stand a chance of being awarded 10,000x the stake.

The Wild symbol replaces others in new combinations and pays on its own when covering a full line.

One of the Scatters is the Horseshoe while the other is the Badge Scatter which triggers three Free Spins when landing three times on reels 2, 3 and 4.  Players collect the Horseshoe Scatters in this feature that resets the number of Free Spins back to 3 whenever this happens.  The reward that players receive depends on the number of Scatters at the end of the feature, with a 10,000x jackpot being available if 12 symbols are collected.
