Wild West Trueways

Wild West Trueways is a BGaming slot released on July 30, 2024, running the studio’s TRUEWAYS mechanic across 6 reels that each carry between 2 and 8 symbols, reaching as many as 262,144 ways to win. The theoretical RTP is 96.7%, volatility is very high, and the win cap is 5,000x the bet.

A gunslinger Wild appears on reels 2 through 5, substituting for every symbol except the scatter. During free spins, Wilds carry their own multiplier, seen reaching as high as 10x, and multipliers from more than one Wild in a winning combination add together before applying to the win.

Free Spins

Landing 4, 5, or 6 scatters awards 12, 15, or 20 free spins. Landing 3 to 6 further scatters during the round retriggers it, adding 5, 12, 15, or 20 more spins depending on how many land, so a hot stretch of scatters can chain into a considerably longer round than the base trigger alone provides.

Jackpot Ladder and Coin Respin

A Mini, Major, and Mega jackpot ladder runs alongside the reels, paid out through a separate Coin Respin round. Landing 6 or more coin symbols triggers the feature with 3 respins, extended further by additional coins or a Dynamite symbol landing during the round, and filling every one of the grid’s 48 positions with coins pays the Mega tier outright. Two Bonus Buy options skip the wait, Free Spins and Coin Respin, each priced at 100x the bet.

Wild West Trueways Review

Wild West Trueways runs two genuinely separate bonus systems side by side rather than making one the clear headline feature, and pricing both Bonus Buy options identically at 100x reflects that BGaming considers them comparably valuable entry points rather than one being a consolation prize for missing the other. The ways total climbing as high as 262,144 gives the base game a real chance at paying without either bonus triggering, and running the jackpot ladder through its own dedicated Coin Respin, separate from the ways-based free spins entirely, means a session has two structurally different paths toward its biggest wins rather than one system doing double duty. Requiring all 48 grid positions filled with coins for the Mega tier is a genuinely demanding condition, one that keeps the top jackpot rare even for players actively chasing it through repeated Coin Respin purchases, and that rarity is what keeps a win at that tier feeling earned rather than simply a matter of enough attempts.

The gunslinger Wild’s free spins multiplier is where the ways mechanic and the bonus system actually meet, since a Wild landing on reel 3 or 4 during the round can sit inside several overlapping ways combinations at once, and each one carries the same multiplier value independently. Stack two or three Wilds across a spin and the additive multiplier total climbs fast enough that the 5,000x cap stops looking abstract, particularly given how many symbols per reel the TRUEWAYS format is already carrying at up to 262,144 ways. Very high volatility is the honest label for a game built this way, since the base grid without a Wild landing is comparatively quiet, and the bulk of what a session actually pays out is concentrated in whichever bonus round happens to fire, free spins with a hot Wild run or a Coin Respin that keeps extending toward the coin-filled grid the Mega tier demands.
