Wild West Gold is Pragmatic’s high-vol western collect: 10,000× class, prefer ~96.51% after CAD login. It is not Wild West Gold Megaways’ 10,000× western ways (~96.51%) and not Wanted Dead or a Wild’s 12,500× Hacksaw feature modes (~96.38%).
Lobby search stacks Wild West Gold Megaways, Wanted Dead or a Wild, Mustang Gold Megaways, and Wild West Duels beside it. Open the cash title that reads Wild West Gold, then read the panel — 95.50% and 94.50% Pragmatic builds still ship.
