Mustang Gold Slot Review

Mustang Gold is a slot by Pragmatic Play, which has a great library of different slot games designed to fit different tastes. As the name suggests Mustang Gold is a slot that has a Mustang at the forefront of the theme. However, we are talking about a Mustang breed of horse, rather than the car itself. The overall theme of the game is a cowboy-themed, Wild West slot which is not something we see too often, and it is a kind of a niche slot.

The whole game is set against a desert canyon reminding us of a few other slots we’ve seen before. Canyon backgrounds aren’t anything rare and are pretty common with the American West and Native Indian-themed slots. But just because it’s something that’s often used doesn’t take away anything from the slot. It rather works well with the theme at hand, especially with the different horse symbols seen throughout the game. This slot has a few interesting features as well as a high payout potential as we’ll see in the review.

 

RTP and Variance

RTP

What about the RTP and volatility of this American Wild West-inspired slot? Let’s see how rewarding Mustang Gold has the potential to be, and what it has to offer in terms of rewards.

The RTP of Mustang Gold is 96.53% which is a little above average for an online slot. A higher RTP is good because it means that we will potentially get back more money for each €100 we wager in the game. In the case of Mustang Gold, we get back approximately €96 for each €100 wagered. This is a theoretical number because it’s been measured over millions of spins, but you can expect similar results in practice as well.

 

Variance

When it comes to volatility, it’s an indicator that shows us how often the slot will reward us, and how long we will have to wait for in-between rewards. The high volatility in Mustang Gold means that we will have to wait a while between rewards, but the rewards will usually be higher. Combined with the RTP it promises good rewards and a dynamic gameplay experience.

With a minimum deposit of €0.25, it’s a little on the high side, which isn’t ideal for beginners because they will have to wager more money. However, there is a jackpot of x1,000 and up to x12,000 winning potential which is a great opportunity to win a good amount of money.

If you want to see what bonus features the game has in store for us, keep reading the review.

 

Bonus Features

Mustang Gold comes with several bonus features that will make the base gameplay more fun and more lucrative.

Below we’ll list all of the features that have been implemented into the game.

• Money Collect Feature – This is one of Mustang Gold’s core bonus features, but it can also be activated during the gameplay of the main game. The horseshoe that drops on reels 1, 2, 3, and 4 and the Collect symbols that drops on the 5^th reel is important for this bonus feature. When a horseshoe drops on any of the reels it also carries with it a Cash bonus, and when the Collect symbol lands on the last reel along with the other Horseshoe symbols the added value is combined.

 

• Jackpot Bonus – Mustang Gold also comes with a fixed jackpot feature. There is a Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpots in the game that award you x50, x100, x200 and x100 based on your wager in the game. When one or more Jackpot Horseshoe symbols land followed by the Collect symbol the jackpot is triggered.

 

• Free spins – If 3 Scatter symbols drop on reels 2, 3, and 4, the player is awarded 8 free spins. If you manage to land another 3 Scatter symbols, the respin feature is triggered and you are awarded an additional 8 free spins. The best thing about this feature is that there is no limit to how many times the free spins can be retriggered.

 

Graphics and Mobile Compatibility

The graphics in Mustang Gold are in line with the Wild West theme of the slot. They are not too vibrant and are toned down, giving a more serious look to the overall atmosphere of the game.

All of the symbols look cleanly designed and there is no visible pixilation anywhere on the reels or in the game overall. The playing card suit symbols are a little dull, as they are all in a grey rusted color which isn’t too appealing. Since there are few symbols in the game, it makes the playing card suit symbols look like they are dominating the reels, giving away a washed-away color scheme.

Mobile compatibility is here like with all Pragmatic Play games. The game runs on HTML5 which means you can play it on any device that has an active internet connection, so you can play it anywhere in, or outside your home.
