Mustang Gold is a 2019 Pragmatic Play slot with a Wild West theme and running horses. It uses a 5x3 grid with 25 paylines and a money collect system: horseshoes carry cash values and a collect symbol on reel 5 pays them out. A pick bonus offers four fixed jackpots, and free spins add more horseshoes. The provider lists a 12,000x top prize. It suits you if you like collect mechanics and a mix of features.
How does Mustang Gold work?
You play five reels and three rows with 25 paylines. The wild substitutes for regular symbols to form line wins.
Horseshoe symbols with cash values land on reels 1 to 4. If at least one horseshoe lands together with a collect symbol on reel 5, you win the total value of the horseshoes on screen. This works in both the base game and free spins.
Because the collect symbol only lands on reel 5, many spins show horseshoes with nothing to collect them. That is normal, and it is part of why the game swings more than its simple look suggests. Bets range from 0.25 to 125 per spin.
What are the Mustang Gold bonus features?
Some horseshoes show a jackpot instead of a cash value. When one of these is collected, you go to a pick bonus where you reveal symbols until three of the same jackpot match. The prizes are Mini 50x, Minor 100x, Major 200x and Grand 1,000x your stake.
Three fireplace scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 start 8 free spins, and each retrigger adds 8 more with no limit. During the round, the reels carry more horseshoes and collect symbols, which is where the larger wins usually come from.
Is Mustang Gold worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
Pragmatic Play lists the RTP at 96.53%, and catalogues show a 95.54% version too. Pragmatic Play offers casinos several RTP settings for this game, so the version you play may be lower than the standard figure. Open the game rules to see the exact RTP at your casino.
Volatility is rated medium-high by one catalogue. Collect wins land fairly often, but the 12,000x figure needs a long free spins round with many high horseshoes and collects. Volatility comes from one source only, so read the game rules too.
Mustang Gold shares its collect idea with John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen, but adds the jackpot pick bonus. If you like this format, Pragmatic Play has several later games that build on it, often with higher caps and bonus buys.
