Betsoft Launches Wild West Slot, Gold Canyon

Ride the rails to riches in Betsoft’s new Gold Canyon Mobile Slot.

For along time, Betsoft was just another company floating in a sea of online and mobile slots developers. Then, a few years back, the digital lab put a little nitros in its motor, separating itself from the crowd. That boost in acceleration is something they call ‘True Cinematic Gaming‘, and it’s been the concrete foundation of the company’s success since early 2015.

True Cinematic Gaming is the patented technology Betsoft’s design crew infuses into their most popular interactive game titles. It has been the basis of richly animated games like A Night in Paris, Viking Age, The SlotFather II, Rise of the Dragon, The Tipsy Tourist, and so many more. Last week, that same technology is being showcased in the launch of their new Gold Canyon Slot, a brand new Wild West themed slot machine with dynamite-toting bandits who ride the rickety rails to riches.

In the old west days, the rush was on to reach the bountiful canyons of gold from California to the Yukon Territory. Most headed out west with sifting trays and pick axes. The rest came with pistols and dynamite. Why do all that work when you can simply rob those who already did it? That was the bandits way, and it’s the theme of Betsoft’s latest True Cinematic Gaming experience.

Built to run in HTML5, Gold Canyon is a 5×3 online and mobile slot with 20 paylines. It has a high variance and 96.13% RTP, best suited for players with enough time and money to wait out the big hits, capped at a max payout of 95,496 coins.

In keeping with the theme, its symbols include shiny gold nuggets and wild stallions as the highest paying symbols, lanterns, badges, horseshoes, wanted posters and poker cards as the mid-value symbols, and the usual A, K, Q, J as the lowest ones.

Expanding Wilds

As for special symbols, if you’re looking to rob a train full of gold, what do you need most – more bandit cowboys or more dynamite? That’s right – both! These are the symbols you’ll want to see a lot of. Cowboys are expanding wilds that cover the entire reel whenever they appear. The more of them you see, the more gold you can expect to reign in.

Free Spins Feature

Those bales of dynamite sticks are scatters. The more you see, the more free spins you’ll get. You’ll need at least 3 dynamite scatters to trigger the free games feature. When 3+ appear, any winning combinations will pay out before the dynamite explodes on the reels. New symbols avalanche down to take their place, with any new wining combinations paid, and any additional dynamite sticks exploding as well.

When it’s all over and the smoke clears, scatter pays are awarded for the number of dynamite sticks that exploded, scaling from 10x the total bet for 3, up to 1,000x for 15. Then, the number of dynamite sticks also becomes the number of free spins awarded.

Gamble Feature

Last but not least, there’s a coin flip double up game available every time a player wins a prize of any amount. Next to the display of winnings is a Double Up button. Pressing this launches the gamble feature. It’s not exactly a double-or-nothing game, as players are given the choice of risking 100% or 50% of the winnings.

The feature is a simple 50/50 coin toss game. Choose heads (portrayed as the golden visage of Betsoft’s trademark Mr. Vegas), or tails, depicted as a shimmering mountain range. The coin flips, doubling the winnings for a correct choice, or sacrificing the previous winnings for a wrong one.

The new Gold Canyon mobile slot is available now at LeoVegas and all other Betsoft powered online casinos.
