Western Gold 2 Double Barrel Slot Review

Western Gold 2 Double Barrel sees Just For The Win and Microgaming zipping out the six-shooters again.

Yup folks, we’re heading off to the Wild West with Super Free Spins, Feature Barrel, and Collect Prizes.

We don’t have to tell you that JFTW suped-up the slot a bit. That’s to say if we compare it to the likes of Pragmatic Play’s, Wild West Gold Megaways.

Obviously, the jackpot of 25,000x your stake lurks in the Super Free Spins. Therefore, it’s in your best interest to trigger it.

The online slots sports 40 paylines, 5 reels, and 4 rows.

Fortunately, there’s a Bonus Buy Option for a quick entry into the free spins. This means you can trigger the free spins but it will cost you.

The bigger the jackpot the more volatile the slot tends to be, right?

This is exactly the case with the Western Gold 2 Double Barrel slot. We rate it a 7/10 on the Whizz’s slot’s scale.

The betting range comes in at $0.20 up to $20 per spin. You can play the slots with money at our top secure real money casinos online.

 

RTP

The RTP of the Western Gold 2 Double Barrel slot is 96.15%. Keep in mind that is the slot’s default RTP.

Unfortunately, RTP ranges such as 94.20% and 92.20% can spoil the fun. But, the hit frequency is a cracker at 35.18%.

Despite the high volatility, you can expect a payout on every 2.84 spins.

Make you play with the best RTP when you play the slot at EU online casinos. Australians can’t play Western Gold 2 Double Barrel pokie.

Symbols

Picture this in your mind’s eye. You’re galloping on your horse Poncho through the wild west that’s dry as a bone.

The odd dust devil jumps up now and again along with the blistering heat. Out of nowhere John ‘Hooligan’ Wiggins and his band of crooks pop up.

This is exactly what the Western Gold 2 Double Barrel slot conveys. Long story short, JFTW does a superb job with the visuals.

Moreover, the western audio track is in tune with what’s going on on the grid.

The symbols on the reels are boots, cards, pistols, cards, and a variety of BARs symbols. The horseshoe is the scatter symbol.

The 7 and the wild are worth the most because 5 of them pay 30x the stake. The Wild substitutes symbols during a winning combo except for the 7.

Scatters

Western Gold 2 contains two barrels. The first barrel is the Cash Barrel.

When 4 up to 12 scatters land you’ll win a cash reward from 1x up to 10,000x the stake.

So, the more scatters that pop in and say hi, the bigger the scatter win.

Free Spins

The Sheriff’s Badge scatter is responsible for triggering the free spins feature.

You need 3 of them which gives you 3 free spins. The free spins feature resets back to 3 free spins when another scatter pops.

Furthermore, you can catch a win multiplier that starts with 1x which the Feature Barrel increases.

Unlike the Scatter feature, you won’t receive a cash prize for the scatters. But, you’ll collect them instead.

Upon conclusion of the free spins feature the scatters you collected awards a cash prize.

When the Mustang Symbols pitch on the 5th reel you’ll gain a spin of the Feature Barrel:

• Cash Collect, you’ll receive a cash prize similar to the cash prize on the Cash Barrel.
• Barrel Upgrade boosts the prizes on the Cash Barrel.
• Multiplier Boost increases the multiplier by 1+.
• Reset Extra increases the spin count reset by 1+.
• Triggers the Super Free Spins.

Super Free Spins

When 3 free spins symbols pitch with 2 wrangler symbols on reels 2 and 5; they trigger the Super Free Spins.

You can also trigger the bonus round via the Feature Barrel. It’s a similar feature as the free spins with one notable difference.

The Cash Barrel’s current value pays out on after each spin.

Buy Option

Western Gold 2 has two Buy Options.

The normal free spins costs 85x whilst the Super Free Spins will set you back a gargantuan 500x your stake.

 

Tips & Strategy Western Gold 2

During the testing phase of 200 spins, we triggered the Super Free Spins only once.

The payout we received was 75x our stake. We didn’t show a profit because the cost triggering the free spins was more than the payout.

Play the slot with free credits first. Grab a bonus or free spins once you’re ready to play it with real money.

 

Verdict

Just For The Win is no stranger to slot games with scatters pays. It’s a nice addition and we’ll most probably see them again in their forthcoming games.

We also picked up that the Western Gold 2 is similar to 9 Masks of Fire. The difference though is that the jackpot is bigger and the overall rewards better.

Now, all the nitty-gritty aside. If you’re thinking of galloping into town to confront the sheriff.

You must trigger the Super Free Spins because this is where you’ll win the 25,000x jackpot.

Even though it’s a challenging slot. The Cash Barrel gives it that extra bite and collecting scatters has never been so much fun!
