Bounty Gold slot hit the casinos on November 11 and less than a day has passed before a player managed to hit the win cap and walk away with a top prize. With a bet of €0.25, the player triggered the bonus, which lasted for 5 minutes and ended up paying out a jackpot of 5,000 times the bet.
The Wild West slot genre has produced many gritty and solid releases over the years, but we can reveal in advance that Bounty Gold is not one of them. To be honest, this looks like something created by a beginner affiliate studio and not the work of a very experienced developer like Pragmatic Play. Half-baked ideas are often dressed up with the evergreen Western theme, and this looks like a perfect example of that.
The cartoonish visual style is fine, but the two outlaws hardly look like they could hurt a fly with their funny smiles and rosy cheeks. The base game lacks excitement, to say the least, so you’re basically just grinding along to trigger the Money Respins feature. It comes with up to 4 reel sets, which is a bit unusual for the hold-and-win genre, but you’ll need to unlock the elusive fourth grid to do any real damage during the feature.
Bounty Gold Slot Features
The wild symbol can only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 and occurs for all regular payout symbols to complete winning combinations. The wild has no value of its own, while the 4 premium symbols pay out between 3 and 8 times your bet for 5 match wins.
The only feature in this dusty old town is the Money Respins round, which is triggered when you land at least 6 money symbols in view at the same time. The triggering symbols stick on a new and otherwise cleared grid, and you can unlock up to 3 additional 5×3 grids during the feature.
They start with 3 respins, and new Sticky Money symbols reset the respin count to 3 each time they land. You open the 3 additional grids by landing 9, 18 and 26 sticky money symbols respectively, and each new grid that opens gives you more empty positions to fill.
You also win jackpots by filling a grid with sticky money symbols, and the jackpot value increases the harder it is to unlock the grid. The respective jackpots pay out 25, 50, 500 or 5,000 times your bet (grids 1, 2, 3 and 4), but that’s not all. You also benefit from a multiplier of x2, x3 and x4 per unlocked grid. These multipliers apply to all money symbols in the respective grids, and you get a x5 boost when a total of 44 money symbols land.

You can see almost a minute of our mostly uneventful base game grind before a shootout triggers the Money Respins feature when we land 6 money scatters. You’ll have to hit the play button below to see for yourself how many grids we unlocked and what kind of loot we got away with.
Summary
It didn’t take long for Bounty Gold to fall well short of what we’ve come to expect from Pragmatic Play. The two characters, male and female, just don’t look the part, and it’s as if the design theme didn’t quite know whether they should be creating visuals for a gritty Wild West piece or a non-serious one. The two supposed outlaws look like apple-cheeked city slickers dressed up for an Instagram ride at a theme park, accompanied by a subtle Western-style soundtrack cliché.
The barebones base game is about as interesting as the wind blowing through the empty and dusty main street, and it can take a while for the bonus rounds to trigger. However, you can unlock up to 3 additional grids in this streak-respin style feature, but getting to number 3 or 4 is anything but easy. The multipliers and jackpots add a little motivation, but hardly enough to make this anything but a sub-par ordinary effort.
