40 fixed paylines run across the 5x4 grid of this Western video slot. A win needs at least 3 matching symbols on a payline, read from the leftmost reel to the right. Wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4 carry a random 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier for their payline. Symbols range from cowboys and gunslingers to bags of gold and the card faces A, K, Q and J.
3 scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 start the free spins, which open with 8 spins. Wilds landing on reels 2, 3 and 4 stay sticky for the round, keeping their multiplier. A gold-star overlay scatter can land on any symbol and adds 4, 8, 12 or 20 extra spins.

Know each move
Five steps, laid out in order, are how Crownplay shows a round before any stake is placed.
A$0.20 is the lowest bet and A$240 the highest, and every spin plays all 40 fixed paylines at the bet you set.
3 matching symbols in a row from the leftmost reel make a win on a payline, and all 40 fixed paylines count on every spin.
2x, 3x or 5x multipliers are carried at random by WILD symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4. Two WILD multipliers on one payline add together.
3 SCATTER symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 start Free Spins, opening with 8 spins on a night-themed background. Nobody knows in advance when the trigger will land.
A$0.40 is the paytable bet on this page, and every spin at that stake is taken from the total you set before the first spin.
Earn extra spins
The question most players ask first: how the spins begin and what a round can pay.
3 SCATTERs on reels 1, 3 and 5 start 8 spins. Any WILD on reels 2, 3 or 4 becomes sticky for the whole round, with its 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier fixed on landing. A gold-star scatter can land on any symbol and add extra spins.
Base Game spin8 free spins
40 fixed paylines run left to right from the leftmost reel on a 5x4 grid. WILD symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 carry a random 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier applied to their payline, and multiple WILD multipliers on one line add together.

Visual guide
Not knowing how the free spins look is the worry this block removes before any stake.
96.51 is the long-run return of Wild West Gold, and it does not predict one session. How often Free Spins come is not known in advance. The result of a session is random whatever the RTP, so it can end well above or well below that return.
One RTP version, 96.51, is listed for Wild West Gold. Which RTP version is running on the game is shown only in the game rules, so the rules are the place to check it. The RTP table on this page uses A$100 staked as its basis.
x10,000 is the maximum win of Wild West Gold, a multiple of the bet. At the top bet of A$240, that ceiling is A$2,400,000. The ceiling is reached very rarely, and no spin or session can be counted on to reach it.
Mode Choice
This block settles whether the demo costs anything and what the real game requires before you start.
A$0.20 is the lowest real bet, but the demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account and the legal age of 18+.

Choose your stopping point before you start, and keep it after a win. A big win is a good moment to stop, not to chase more.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you add funds. Lower them when a session feels harder to end.
Take a break when the game stops feeling fun, and return only when calm. If a break is not enough, a longer self-exclusion is an option.
Clear facts
Useful when you have the paytable open and want a direct answer before placing your first bet.
96.51 against 96.48 is the RTP gap between Wild West Gold and Blazing Bounty, its sibling in the series. The maximum win is also higher, at x10,000 of the bet against x7,500.
A$0.20 is the lowest bet in Wild West Gold, and A$240 is the highest allowed here. The paytable and the examples use A$0.40 and A$0.50, so a player can compare what each symbol pays at those stakes.
96.51 is the RTP of Wild West Gold, so the game returns that share of total stakes across a very large number of spins. The table on this page converts it into money per A$100 staked. One session can finish above or below that figure.
x10,000 is the maximum win as a multiple of the bet. At the example top bet of A$0.50, that is A$5,000, and at the highest bet of A$240 it reaches A$2,400,000. The free spins round ends at that cap, so this is a ceiling, not a typical win.
A$0.20, the lowest bet in Wild West Gold, makes a first look at the rules cheap. The grid is 5x4 with 40 fixed paylines that pay left to right from the leftmost reel. Read the paytable before your first spin.
5x4 grid, 40 fixed paylines: this game has high volatility, so wins come less often but can be larger. Nobody can know in advance when the free spins or a Wild multiplier will land.
