Mustang Gold Slots

The idea of the Wild West seems like an impossibility nowadays. With every corner of the world claimed and controlled by one government or another, lawlessness is hard to come by. But in the formative years of the United States, the push westward has left many places isolated and without defence. It was in these distant plains that the myth of the cowboy was born; one that persists to this day. So put on your hat and spurs, and get ready to ride across the reels in search of free spins and big wins!

Gameplay

Visually, we’d rate this slot as average. All of the symbol designs, barring the playing card royals look quite cool. What little of the background image we can see is also quite colourful. We see a setting sun turning the usually blue sky crimson, and the endless expanse of orange desert. The only thing that stops the desert are mountains… and more desert behind those mountains! We’d like this game a lot more if it had some smooth animations. There are some, like the moving shrub to the left side of the reels. But most icons have minor or no animations.

You play Mustang Gold on a 5x3 board with 25 fixed paylines, which pay left to right only. There are two special features worth keeping your eye on. There’s the Money Collect, which swoops up all the prizes that appear on the golden horseshoe, including a fixed jackpot! The second bonus are free spins, which can be retriggered as many times as you like. And the best part about free spins is that you can activate Money Collect while they’re being played, further boosting your wins.

Pragmatic Play’s user interface manages to fit in with all sorts of themes, but it works doubly well here. The slight transparency of the status bar allows the developers to slip in a few more details they otherwise couldn’t! But what we really like about it is how it handles setting wagers. You can choose to individually adjust your coin value and coins per payline if you like. But if you’re feeling lazy, you can simply keep pressing one button until you reach the wager you’re looking for. Both methods can only bet from GBP 0.25 to GBP 125 on each spin, which is a fantastic betting spread.

This release sits somewhere between medium and high variance. It’s not super difficult to land a win, but getting the big prizes it promises will take you a while. Still, with a jackpot worth 12,000x your total stake, it is absolutely worth the effort you put into it. Another positive thing about Mustang Gold is that it has an above average RTP! Their RTP sits at 96.53%, which is half a percentage point above the 96% average we’re used to.

Bonus Rounds

Golden horseshoes can appear on the first, second, third and fourth reels. When they do, they have a small status bar on top of them, telling you what kind of cash prize they carry. To collect that prize, you need to find a sheriff’s badge on the fifth reel! Keep in mind that the badge will only collect any horse shoe prizes present when it appears on the reels, and not the ones that came before.

If one of the horse shoes mentions a jackpot when collected, you get to play the Jackpot Reveal bonus. Here, you pick through 12 golden horseshoes, revealing different colours. Blue, green, red and purple will award the mini, minor, major and grand jackpots, respectively. To win the corresponding jackpot, you have to collect three matching symbols.

Finally, hit three Scatters to win free spins. You are able to keep activating the Money Collect special feature during the extra turns. And yes, you can retrigger free spins: with no upper limit, either!

Summary

We don’t have a lot to say about the graphics. They’re average, and could be a lot better with a few quality animations. But thanks to its special features and fantastic math model, Mustang Gold manages to win us over despite these flaws. Go ahead and give it a try – you won’t regret it!
