Wild West Trueways is a six reel slot from BGaming, released at the end of July 2024, that turns the studio's Trueways engine loose on a frontier town of sheriffs, bandits and buried gold. What players tend to like about it is that the grid refuses to sit still. Every reel can arrive between two and eight symbols tall, so the number of ways to win is rebuilt from scratch on each spin. Add a coin collecting respin round with three jackpots and you have a slot that runs hot and cold.
How Wild West Trueways plays
The six reels are independent of one another, and wins pay from the left on adjacent reels rather than along fixed lines. When all six reach full height you are playing 262,144 ways, the same headline figure a six reel Megaways game produces, though this grid runs on BGaming's own engine rather than a licensed Big Time Gaming build. Wilds stand in for the paying symbols, and inside the free spins they carry multipliers of x2, x3 or x5 that apply to any win they help complete. Four, five or six scatters open that round with 12, 15 or 20 spins, and further scatters during it top the count back up.
The other bonus is the Coin Respin. Six or more coin symbols lock the reels into a respin sequence that resets to three respins every time a fresh coin or a dynamite symbol lands, and the dynamite splits the larger reel units into smaller cells so there are more positions left to fill. Completing the sheriff's badge and filling all 48 positions is what brings the Mega jackpot into play, with Mini and Major tiers below it. Worth saying clearly: this is not BGaming's Olympus Trueways, which puts the same engine behind a Greek mythology theme, and it has nothing to do with Pragmatic Play's Wild West Gold beyond the setting.
Wild West Trueways RTP, volatility and max win
The default return to player is 96.84%, a little above the average for a current video slot. The purchased feature versions are published lower, at 96.55% for bought free spins and 96.7% for a bought Coin Respin, though that buy option is not available at Gambling Commission licensed casinos, so UK players trigger both rounds the ordinary way. Volatility is high, and BGaming's own sheet calls the maths very high. The base game is deliberately thin as a result: most spins return nothing, and the bulk of the theoretical return sits inside the two bonus rounds. The maximum win is 5,000x your total stake, which the coin round can reach on its own through stacked coin values and the top jackpot. Expect long gaps between anything meaningful.
Playing Wild West Trueways
The game is carried by most online casinos that stock BGaming's catalogue, and you can try it here first. The demo runs on play money, needs no account and no deposit, and plays like the real version apart from the balance, so it is a sensible way to see how often the reels stretch to full height before you stake anything. Stakes usually run from around 0.10 to 50 a spin depending on the site and currency. The casinos listed on this page all offer Wild West Trueways to UK players. Where one of them attaches free spins to the game, those spins carry their own terms, normally including wagering on whatever they return, so read the promotional conditions rather than assuming the result is cash.
Is Wild West Trueways worth playing?
It suits players who enjoy the rhythm of an expanding ways slot and would rather chase a coin round with three jackpot tiers than collect steady small wins. Anyone after regular returns will find the base game a grind, because the maths openly favours the bonuses. The Wild West theme has been done to death, but the presentation is sharp and the dynamite mechanic gives the respins a wrinkle that most hold and win rounds lack.
A 5,000x ceiling is paid for with long empty stretches, and that is the part worth planning around. The money you sit down with on a game shaped like this is the price of the entertainment, not a deposit on the Mega jackpot, and the coin round is built to feel close whether or not it is. If chasing it starts pulling your stakes past what you had in mind when you opened the game, stop there and have a look at the tools and support on our responsible gambling page.
