Pragmatic Play · 2019
Mustang Gold is a Pragmatic Play video slot on a 5x3 grid with 25 paylines and medium volatility. This page sets out its figures, modes and rules.
Pick a bet and spin a 5x3 grid of horses, cowboys and cowgirls from the Western theme. Mustang Gold runs 25 fixed paylines, and a symbol win needs three or more matching symbols on one of them. Ordinary wins are multiplied by the bet per line, not by the total bet, so a win grows with the amount you put on each line.
Chase the campfire Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4, because three of them start 8 free spins. Money Collect adds horseshoe values from reels 1 to 4 to a line win when the Collect symbol lands on reel 5. Free Spins carry more Money and Collect symbols, and three more Scatters retrigger. A JACKPOT-tagged Money Symbol that gets collected opens the Jackpot Reveal Bonus Game.

Inside the bonus
By the end of this page you will have matched each screen to its stage.
Five stages in all
We lay the round out in order, so every bet is a choice you already understood.
You pick a bet between A$0.25 and A$250 before the reels turn. The bet sets what each of the 25 fixed paylines stakes, so a higher bet means larger payouts.
You look for at least three matching symbols on one of the 25 fixed paylines. Symbol wins are multiplied by the bet per line, not the total bet.
You want the horseshoes on reels 1 to 4 and the Collect symbol on reel 5 in the same spin. Their visible values are summed and added to the payline win.
You aim for three campfire Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 to start the Free Spins Feature. Eight free spins begin on special reels with more Money and Collect symbols.
You decide how much you will spend before the first spin and stop when you reach it. How often the bonus lands cannot be known in advance.
Deciding to spin Mustang Gold means accepting that how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP says. A long run of spins can bring nothing, and a short one can bring several features. Set a budget you can lose, and stop there.
Checking the RTP version before you play means reading the game rules, because that is the only place it is shown. The RTP figures in the table describe a long-run average, not a single session. Compare the version named in the rules with the one you expect before you stake money.
Chasing the maximum win of Mustang Gold means aiming at a ceiling, not at an expected payout. The maximum win is a ceiling that players reach very rarely, and it is shown as a multiple of the bet. Read it as the top of the scale, not a target.
Play modes
Afraid a first spin will cost money before you understand the game?
Choose the demo to practise, since it needs no money and pays nothing. Pick the real game only with an account at Spinkings Casino if you are 18+.
Play for realKnow it before spinning
Read this before the first spin, when you want the basics of Mustang Gold.
Decide whether medium volatility suits your bankroll before you spin. Mustang Gold carries medium volatility, so wins vary in size and nobody can know in advance when a large one lands. The top prize is x12,000 of your bet, which is A$24,000 at the A$2 example bet.
Learn the rules first, since they hold in every mode. Mustang Gold runs on 5 reels and 3 rows, with 25 fixed paylines on every spin. Learn the symbols: the campfire Scatter, the white and dark mustangs, the cowboy and cowgirl, and the A, K, Q and J cards.
Aim for three campfire Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 in one spin, which starts 8 free spins. Free spins use special reels with more Money Symbols and Collect symbols than the base game. Three more Scatters during a round add 8 spins, with no limit on retriggers.
Pick a bet between A$0.25 and A$250 per spin. A$0.40 and A$2 are the example bets on this page, not limits of the game. Ordinary symbol wins are multiplied by the bet per line, not the total bet.
Compare the RTP figures before you choose a version. Mustang Gold has an RTP of 96.53, and Mustang Gold Megaways sits at 96.46. RTP is a long-run figure per A$100 staked, so one session can end well above or below it.
Pick the version by its max win and RTP, since the two differ on both. Mustang Gold offers the higher max win, x12,000 against x5,000 for Megaways. Mustang Gold also has the higher RTP, so the two versions suit different priorities.
