STEP 2: LEARN THE SYMBOLS
Mustang Gold has a variety of symbols, including jack through ace, a female sheriff, a male sheriff, a black horse, a white horse, horseshoe symbols and sheriff badges (Collect symbol).
The Wild symbol in Mustang Gold is represented by the 'Mustang Gold' symbol; it can appear on reels two, three, four and five. The Scatter symbol is the campfire symbol.
STEP 3: CHECK OUT THE SPECIAL FEATURES
Mustang Gold by Pragmatic Play has quite a number of bonus features. Find out more about how to unlock every feature in this online slot game below.
MONEY COLLECT FEATURE
This feature can be triggered both in the base game and the Free Spins round, so it will always be possible to see it! What you'll need to consider is two particular symbols: the horseshoe symbol (which can land on reels one through four) and the Collect symbol (which can land on reel five).
Landing one or more horseshoe symbols will come with a cash value on each symbol. If you manage to land Collect symbols on the fifth reel, your horseshoe values will be collected and awarded to you as a prize, just like a prize coming from a winning combination on a payline hit.
JACKPOT REVEAL BONUS GAME
Mustang Gold is renowned for the several ways that you can land a big win. The four fixed jackpots surely have something to do with that, so let's have a closer look at how you can win them.
The four jackpots are the Grand, Major, Minor and Mini, which are worth 1,000x, 200x, 100x and 50x, respectively. In order to land a jackpot prize, you must land one or more Jackpot horseshoe symbols and Collect symbols. If you manage to do that, you'll get to pick horseshoes in a separate bonus game. Matching symbols will award you the corresponding jackpot.
FREE SPINS FEATURE
In order to unlock the Free Spins round in Mustang Gold, you'll have to land three Scatters on reels two, three and four. This will grant you an initial eight free spins, but you can grab more if you land another three Scatter symbols while the feature is active. You can get unlimited free spins this way.
During this bonus game, you'll get to benefit from enhanced reels that land even more horseshoe and Collect symbols, considerably amplifying your chances of landing big wins.
PLAY THE MUSTANG GOLD DEMO
How could we close off this Mustang Gold review without a mention of the demo mode? As always, we recommend to start playing the demo before trying some spins with your own money. If you're not sure what demos are, stick around!
The demo mode is a gaming mode available in all the best online casinos that includes all the same features and mechanics you can expect when digging into the actual gameplay. The only difference is that you won’t be able to bag real cash prizes when testing out the free slots.
The slot provider — in this case, Pragmatic Play — allocates demo players a virtual money bankroll to spin this game for free. Although demos offer the same payout as the base game, players won’t be able to collect any of the winnings they earn in the demo. Nevertheless, this free-play version of the game is a great way to try some test spins before you try winning real money in the base game.
Remember that there may be registration required to take the demo for a spin. Also, depending on your jurisdiction, you may be asked to complete the verification process of your account to access the demos. In cases where verification is not necessary, you may be able to play as a visitor without having to sign in — terms apply.
OUR THOUGHTS
The Mustang Gold️ slot is an arcadey depiction of the American West as seen from the esteemed game provider Pragmatic Play. There's no questioning the sheer beauty of the slot's graphics, nor the numerous bonus features that all shape the experience in their own way while still providing good potential for a big win.
One place where one might say the Mustang Gold online slot falls short is the overall difficulty of making something happen in this slot. The free spins round seems thin as far as landing wins goes. For the jackpot bonus game (which is already hard to land, considering that you need two specific symbols to land on the same spin), matching the same jackpot symbol seems to be incredibly difficult.
Overall, the Mustang Gold slot packs some solid potential; the max. win of 12,000x is emblematic of that. However, the several layers of RNG mean that the stars have to really align to make something happen in this online slot.
