Cowboys have long featured in lots of online slot games. They certainly offer a popular theme and plenty of players seem to like them. So, do we have another winner in Cowboys Gold slots?
This new game looks set to offer some cool features, so allow us to guide you through them to see what’s what.
Developer info for this slot game
This is the latest game from Pragmatic Play. They are fast becoming one of the leading software developers to watch out for.
Demo info
The game is available with a demo version or the real thing, so you can choose how you would like to play. We suggest the demo to start things off, so you can see if you like the theme.
Speaking of the theme…
Cowboys are part of the title, so we’re not going to wow you by revealing there is indeed a Wild West theme here.
A true Wild West design
The game looks the part, for sure, and while there isn’t much to speak of regarding the background, we can see some wooden elements around the reels. There are guns, some whiskey, horseshoes, and many Western-style letters and numbers as well.
What should you expect from the Cowboys Gold game?
The game uses the traditional 5 x 3 arrangement of symbols and reels, so there is nothing new about that. It doesn’t come with any progressive prizes either.
The sheriff’s badge is used as a wild symbol here, so you’ll want to keep an eye out for that. You’ve also got a skull as the bonus symbol, restricted to the middle three reels. Watch out, too, for a renegade wearing a scarf over his face. He only lands on reel five and can interact with other symbols to trigger another feature.
Paylines in Cowboys Gold
There are 10 lines here, making this a nice affordable slot to play where it is easy to cover all the lines.
A low wager starts you off
If you want to keep wagers at the low end of the scale, you’ve got a 10-cent one to start things off here. The other end of the scale sees a $50 bet available, with plenty between those extremes too.

Bonus renegade feature
Remember the renegade we mentioned earlier? There are various cowboys in the game and some of these display a disc containing a multiplier inside it in the bottom right of the symbol. These don’t do anything on their own, but if they appear at the same time as the renegade on the final reel, those multiplier amounts pay out for you. They could be worth anything from 1x your bet to a massive 100x your bet. This is called the Money Collect feature.
Free spins come from the skull!
Unusual, yes, but the skull is wearing a cowboy hat. Three of these unleash the free spin feature, awarding 10 games ready to play. The games include more cowboys and more renegade icons, so there is a better chance of unleashing some Money Collect prizes as well as regular prizes.
You can trigger five more spins with another three bonus icons. An additional trigger to get the games comes via the renegade landing at the same time as one or more cowboys. The freebies begin with a 1x multiplier, but a retrigger increases it. Three further triggers can occur, giving a maximum multiplier of 5x for prizes won.
RTP information
The slot has a return to player percentage that is around 96.5%, so that is a reasonable amount to have.

Is this a golden opportunity to play a Wild West-themed slot? We think so, and we enjoyed it. Enough to grant a 9/10 score.
Winners watch out for those cowboys!
You really could strike gold if you get one or more cowboy multipliers with the renegade in action on the same spin. There is lots of potential in this game, for sure.
