Pragmatic Play · 2019
Mustang Gold is a medium volatility 5x3 video slot by Pragmatic Play with horse and Western themes. Here you get the figures, bonus modes and a demo.
Choose Mustang Gold if you want a Western and horse theme on a 5x3 grid. The game runs 25 fixed paylines, and a win forms when at least 3 matching symbols land on one payline. The symbols include white and dark mustang heads, a cowboy with a revolver, a cowgirl and the card values A, K, Q and J. Ordinary symbol wins are multiplied by the bet per line, not the total bet.
Pick Mustang Gold for bonus features beyond line wins. Money Symbols (horseshoes) on reels 1 to 4 add their values to the payline win when a Collect symbol lands on reel 5 in the same spin. Three campfire Scatters on reels 2 to 4 start Free Spins with more Money and Collect symbols. A JACKPOT Money Symbol opens the Jackpot Reveal Bonus Game.

Five steps in total
Aussieplay Casino shows each step in plain money terms, so you read the round before you bet.
Pick a total bet between A$0.25 and A$250 before the reels spin. The example bets on this page are A$1 and A$5.
Count matching symbols on the 25 fixed paylines, because ordinary symbol wins are multiplied by the bet per line, not the total bet. Three matching symbols is the fewest that pays.
Watch for Money Symbols on reels 1 to 4. A Collect symbol on reel 5 adds their total to the win. Money Collect runs in the base game and Free Spins.
Land three campfire Scatters together on reels 2, 3 and 4 to trigger 8 free spins. Special reels hold more Money and Collect symbols, and three more Scatters retrigger 8 spins.
Set your session limit before the first spin, because no round tells you when a bonus comes. Decide your stop point now, not after a bonus.
Game screens
The most common worry is telling a win from a bonus screen, so these show each state.
Before you stake, know the return to player: the share of every A$100 staked that comes back over a very long run. The version Aussieplay runs is shown in the game rules.

When a feature triggers
Useful once you see campfire scatters or horseshoes land and want to know what comes next.
Aim for one or more Money Symbols (horseshoes) on reels 1 to 4, plus a Collect symbol on reel 5 in the same spin. Money Collect adds every visible Money Symbol value, in total-bet multiples, to the payline win. It works in the base game and Free Spins.
Horseshoes on reelsAdded payline win
Land 3 campfire Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 to trigger 8 free spins. The special reels carry more Money Symbols and Collect symbols than the base game. Land 3 more Scatters to retrigger 8 more free spins, and retriggers have no limit.
Base game spins8 free spins
Collect a JACKPOT-tagged Money Symbol with the Collect symbol on reel 5 to open this bonus. Each JACKPOT tag gives one round, played in sequence. Pick horseshoes to reveal jackpot symbols. Matching 3 of the same awards that jackpot: Grand 1000x, Major 200x, Minor 100x, Mini 50x total bet.

Set your bet per line and spin the 5 reels x 3 rows grid, which has 25 fixed paylines. Ordinary symbol wins are multiplied by the bet per line, not the total bet.
Before any featureOrdinary symbol wins
Deciding to start a Mustang Gold session means accepting that how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP of 96.53 says. A long run may drift toward that figure, while a short run can end well below it or well above it.
Checking which RTP version this game runs is possible only through the game rules. Open the rules screen before you stake real money, and compare the figure it shows with the 96.53 listed on this page.
Planning a session around the top prize means working from a ceiling, not a forecast. The maximum win is x12,000 of your bet, and it is reached very rarely. Treat it as the upper edge of what the game can pay, not as a likely result.
Game Modes
Most players worry that a demo will ask for card details or cost something.
Pick the demo to learn Mustang Gold without staking money, though it pays nothing. Pick the real game once you hold an account here and are 18 or older.

Four questions, one page
Read this before your first session, when you pick a bet and weigh the risk.
Pick Mustang Gold if you want a 5x3 grid with 25 fixed paylines, an RTP of 96.53 and a top win of x12,000. The Mustang Gold Megaways version pays back 96.46 per cent and caps wins at x5,000.
Mustang Gold has medium volatility. Wins come in a range of sizes, but no one can tell in advance when a bigger one lands. The top win is x12,000 of your bet.
Mustang Gold returns 96.53 per cent over the long run, which means A$96.53 for every A$100 staked. The Megaways version returns 96.46, so the original pays back slightly more. A long-run average says nothing about a single session.
Start with the minimum bet of A$0.25 to learn the rules at the lowest stake. The paytable uses A$1 as its reference bet, and the examples on this page run from A$1 to A$5. Raise the stake only after the feature rules make sense to you.
Only play if you are 18+. Need support? Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national register for self-exclusion.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you open Mustang Gold, and keep that sum apart from bills.
Set your stopping point before you start, and hold to it even after a big win.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so the caps hold for the whole session.
Take a break, or self-exclude with BetStop, as soon as Mustang Gold stops feeling fun.
