A 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines sets the Western scene of Cowboys Gold. Two matching symbols can already pay. The main mechanic is Money Collect: each COWBOY symbol can show a random money badge worth 1x to 100x the total bet, and this runs on every spin. When a RENEGADE lands on reel 5, the badges of all COWBOY symbols on screen are added and paid as one win.
10 free spins start when 3 BONUS symbols land on reels 2 to 4, or when any BONUS symbols land with a RENEGADE. Up to 3 retriggers add 5 spins each, 25 spins at most. The Money Collect multiplier climbs from 1x to 2x, 3x and then 5x as retriggers arrive. Special reels and a sunlit western street mark the feature.

Three BONUS symbols on reels 2 to 4, or any number with a RENEGADE, start it. It opens with 10 free spins. Up to 3 retriggers add 5 spins each, 25 spins at most. The Money Collect multiplier starts at 1x, then 2x, 3x, 5x (max) per retrigger.

Cowboys Gold walkthrough
Most worry about money stems from not knowing what one spin costs before the reels start.
Set the stake anywhere from A$0.10 to A$250 before the first spin. Each base game spin then deducts that total bet, so a A$5 setting costs A$5 per spin.
A win forms when matching symbols land on one of the 10 fixed paylines of the 5x3 grid. Two matching symbols are enough to pay, and the paytable lists each payout.
Money Collect runs on every base game spin, with COWBOY symbols carrying badges from 1x to 100x the total bet. A RENEGADE on reel 5 sums COWBOY values into one win.
3 BONUS symbols on reels 2 to 4, or BONUS symbols plus a RENEGADE, start Free Spins with 10 spins. Each retrigger adds 5 spins and lifts the Money Collect multiplier.
Set a spending limit before the first spin, because high volatility means wins arrive unevenly from one spin to the next. Past spins do not predict the next one.
Three BONUS symbols on reels 2 to 4 open the Free Spins, but how often that happens cannot be known in advance. One session is random and the RTP describes only the long run, not the session in front of you. A high volatility game can go a long stretch without a bonus, and a short session can end with no win at all.
96.50% is the only RTP version of Cowboys Gold listed on this page. Which version Crownplay runs is shown only in the game rules, so read them before the first spin. Each RTP version describes a return over many spins, not a single session.

Cowboys Gold peers
Crownplay lists each game with the same facts, so you can compare before you play.
Get the facts straight
At Crownplay Casino, every answer uses plain figures you can check before a stake.
The maximum win is x6,065 of the bet. At the top example bet of A$5, that comes to A$30,325. At the highest bet allowed, A$250, the maximum win reaches A$1,516,250.
Cowboys Gold has one RTP version, 96.50 percent. The RTP is calculated on A$100 staked, so the long-run return is A$96.50 for every A$100 bet. A single session can differ widely from that.
Cowboys Gold can be played at stakes from A$0.10 per spin, so the lowest bet is the cheapest way to see how a round runs. The paytable shows payouts for an A$0.40 bet, and the Money Collect badges show their multipliers on every spin.
High volatility means the size of wins swings widely from spin to spin. That ceiling, x6,065 times the bet, shows how large a single result can get. How often a bonus lands cannot be known in advance.
Cowboys Gold accepts bets from A$0.10 up to A$250 per spin. The paytable uses A$0.40 as its example, and A$5 is the top example bet on this page.
