Western Gold Megaways (iSoftBet)

The Wild West had its fair share of danger, and by creating a slot machine that is a true reflection of this, iSoftBet has done an impressive job with their latest release titled, Western Gold Megaways.  It’s a slot that has good graphics, decent RTP, and big payout potential, which makes it a better option in this overly crowded niche.

Game Set-Up

Western Gold Megaways offers 6 reels, and a possibility to get as many as 117,649 ways to win/Megaways. It’s a medium volatility slot, that comes with features such as scatters, Cash Respins as well as some wilds.

Betting and Prizes

When it comes to betting prizes, Western Gold Megaways doesn’t differ much from other slots previously released by isoftbet. To place a wager, you are required to use between $0.20 and $20 per spin.

Even with its medium volatility, Western Gold Megaways is capable of delivering winnings as high as12,000x the stake. The RTP of 95.98% is slightly below 96% which is the average on most modern slots.

Western Gold Megaways Slot Features

On its 6 reels, you can get between 3 and 7 random symbols per reel. This will give you a few hundred Megaways, to a whopping 117,649.

Since the slot uses cascading reels, they will remove the winning symbols, and replace them with new ones.  This process will bring along more wins.

Wilds are quite common on slots, and Western Gold Megaways has got some as well. They offer much assistance when you are trying to form winning combinations.

The Cash Respins feature is one of the best on this slot. To receive it, I was required to collect at least 5 scatter symbols, and this enabled me to get a new screen that revealed the number of those symbols which are blocked. There are either Sheriff Badges or blanks.

If you manage to collect new badges, the respins will reset back to 3. This feature will end once the respins are exhausted, or when you fill the reels with these badges.

Theme & Design

Basically, the slot is all about the Wild West, and it’s a theme that isoftBet has tried to bring out so well.  In the background, I noticed a Western setting that incorporates building wood. Although the quality of this slot is good, it is nothing out of the ordinary, and you will get the typical iSoftBet quality.

A Sheriff’s Badge is one of the symbols available, and it represents a scatter. Others are a wild logo, spurs, hats, pistols, hip flasks, and Royals that represent the low-value symbols.

Conclusion

Western Gold Megaways is among the best slots that use the Megaways concept. It is a slot that is not only easy to navigate, but also offers better payout with lower volatility.

However, the developer would have done better with the list of features, because the game lacks a lot of action given the few features available.

It’s a simple game, and if you are new to the Megaways set-up, this is a great starting point.
