On the 5x4 grid of Wild West Duels, 20 fixed paylines run left to right in a high volatility Western slot by Pragmatic Play.
Reels land across a 5x4 grid in Wild West Duels, a Western-themed video slot from Pragmatic Play with 20 fixed paylines running left to right. The main mechanic is the Expanding Wild: it can fill a whole reel and attach a multiplier of 2x up to 100x to the wins it helps form. Three matching symbols on a payline is the minimum for a win.
Where many Pragmatic Play slots lean on a single bonus round, this one splits its features three ways: the Beer Game keeps Wilds stuck for the run, the Duel guarantees a Wild every spin, and the Lost Relic round asks you to pick shovels first, then spin with what you found.

Three Screens From The Reels
22aus Casino shows the Wild West Duels screens as they land, so the features are familiar on arrival.
Five Steps To A Spin
22aus Casino lays out each stage of a Wild West Duels round before you stake anything.
Pick a stake between A$0.20 and A$100 on the 5x4 grid. The 20 paylines are fixed, so the bet alone sets what every matching symbol pays.
Wild West Duels pays matching symbols in runs from the leftmost reel, three at least and five at most, along one of the 20 lines. Wins land on adjacent reels, so a gap breaks the run.
A WILD dropping in can stretch across its whole reel, lifting every win it helps to form by 2x up to 100x. That expansion only completes when a payout follows from it.
Three or more Beer Game, Duel or Lost Relic Scatters open their own feature, each with ten spins at the first two. Lost Relics instead asks for nine picks before three spins.
Wild West Duels runs on chance, so fix a spend and a time limit before the session starts rather than after a dry run. Stop the moment either is reached.
Know Your Features
By the end you will know which scatter opens which round and what changes once it does.
Three Beer Game Scatters open 10 free spins. Any Wild that lands sticks for the whole feature and carries a random 2x or 3x multiplier, and several Wild multipliers add together when they share a win. Expanding Wilds stay out of this round, and it cannot retrigger.
Base reelsSticky multipliers
Three Duel Scatters start 10 free spins with the Expanding Wild switched on. At least one Wild is guaranteed on every spin, it can stretch across a full reel and hand that win a multiplier anywhere from 2x to 100x. Retriggers are not part of this round.
Base reelsGuaranteed Wild spins
Three Lost Relic Scatters lead into a two-phase round. First you pick 9 of 25 shovels to bank locked Wilds and a running multiplier, then 3 free spins run with those Wilds fixed on the grid and every win multiplied by the total you gathered.
Scatter triggerLocked Wild grid
Five reels and four rows spin on 20 fixed paylines paid left to right. An Expanding Wild can suddenly fill its whole reel and boost any win it helped make by 2x to 100x, but only when a completed line actually forms.

Every figure below is cash at the A$0.20 example bet, and the bigger the cluster that lands, the more each symbol returns.
| Symbol | 3+ | 4+ | 5+ |
|---|---|---|---|

 Sheriff | A$0.20 | A$1 | A$2 |

 Cowboy Boots | A$0.01 | A$0.05 | A$0.10 |

 Red Bandana | A$0.01 | A$0.05 | A$0.10 |
Spins land where the reels decide, so nothing tells you when the Beer Game, Duel or Lost Relics feature will arrive. RTP of 96.00 percent is a long-run average across many spins, not a promise for your session. A round can run dry for an hour or pay twice in ten minutes.
Wording inside the game rules names the RTP version in play, and that figure is what applies to the reels in front of you. It is worth a look before staking, because the number shapes the long-run return over thousands of spins rather than the result of any single round.
Landing x20,000 on a A$0.20 bet means A$4,000, and the top of the ladder is rarer than any single feature result. Treat the maximum as the outer edge of the paytable, not a target. Volatility is high, so long quiet stretches followed by sudden bursts is the normal shape of a session.
Get the facts
At 22aus Casino, we show the bet limits, RTP and bonus costs in plain figures before you play.
Wild West Duels has high volatility. High volatility means wins can be rare but bigger, and the maximum win is x20,000 your stake. At the A$2 example top bet, the maximum win is A$40,000.
You can buy three features in Wild West Duels: Beer Game, Duel and Lost Relic. Prices are 100x, 200x and 400x your bet, so A$200, A$400 and A$800 at the A$2 example top bet.
There is one RTP version, set at 96.00. That figure is a long-run average over very many rounds, so it does not predict the result of one session. The RTP table on this page converts it into money for each A$100 staked.
The lowest bet is A$0.20 per spin, and the paytable on this page shows the payouts at that stake. Read the modes first, since the three bonus modes each have their own rules and triggers.
