Pragmatic Play · 2019
Mustang Gold is a 5x3 video slot from Pragmatic Play with 25 fixed paylines and medium volatility. This page covers its figures, rounds and symbol payouts.
On the reels, five reels with three rows each stop, and a win forms when matching symbols land on one of the 25 fixed paylines. Three matching symbols are the fewest that pay. Ordinary wins are multiplied by the bet per line, not the total bet. This video slot draws on horses and the Western setting, with horse heads, a cowboy, a cowgirl and the card symbols A, K, Q and J.
Three campfire Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 start the Free Spins Feature with 8 free spins. Three more Scatters retrigger 8 more spins, with no limit on retriggers. Money Collect also works during free spins, where a Collect symbol on reel 5 pays visible Money Symbols. A JACKPOT-tagged Money Symbol opens the Jackpot Reveal Bonus Game, where you pick horseshoes.

Round guide
You will know how each spin is paid and where each bonus starts.
The reels start turning once you choose a total bet from A$0.25 up to A$250. The examples on this page use A$0.50 and A$1, while the highest allowed bet is A$250.
A win needs at least three matching symbols on a payline, and ordinary wins are multiplied by the bet per line, not the total bet. The paytable shows what each symbol pays.
Horseshoe Money Symbols on reels 1 to 4 add up when a Collect symbol lands on reel 5 in the same spin. The sum is paid on top of the payline win.
Three campfire Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 start 8 free spins. Special reels then carry more Money Symbols and Collect symbols than the base game.
Every spin on the reels draws down the balance, so set a loss limit before the first spin. Feeling out of control? Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Feature guide
Once you have read this, you will know how each bonus starts and what happens inside it.
Horseshoes on reels 1-4 turn into money when a Collect symbol lands on reel 5 in the same spin. Every visible Money Symbol is added up in total-bet multiples and paid on top of the payline win. It works in the base game and in Free Spins.

The Collect symbol on reel 5 triggers this bonus when it collects a JACKPOT-tagged Money Symbol. Each JACKPOT tag gives one round, played in sequence. You pick horseshoes to reveal jackpot symbols. 3 matching symbols award that jackpot: Grand 1000x, Major 200x, Minor 100x or Mini 50x total bet.

5 reels x 3 rows show the symbols, and the game runs on 25 fixed paylines. A win from ordinary symbols is multiplied by the bet per line, not by the total bet. Money Collect and Free Spins both build on it.
Placing a betOrdinary symbol wins
Each spin on the reels returns part of the stake over time. Return to player is the share of every A$100 staked paid back in winnings. The live version is in the game rules.

Screen guide
Scan four screens of the base reels, free spins and bonus picks before you play.
Each spin on the 5x3 grid of Mustang Gold lands symbols at random, and the Jackpot Reveal bonus round only starts when a JACKPOT-tagged Money Symbol is collected. How often that happens is not known in advance, and nobody can say how many spins a player will need. The result of one session is random too, whatever the RTP shown for the game.
Symbols land across the five reels and pay out according to the paytable, whichever RTP version sits behind the game. Which RTP version a game runs is shown only in the game rules, so read them before the first spin.
A combination of symbols on an active payline pays by the bet per line, and the largest of these wins is a ceiling reached very rarely. It shows the most the game can pay in one win, not what a session usually returns.
Trial rounds
After this section you will know how to start a practice session and when real money is needed.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Fairgo Casino account and the legal age of 18+.
Start playingMustang Gold basics
Useful when you have the lobby open and want the bet rules before the first spin.
Mustang Gold takes bets from A$0.25 up to A$250 a spin. The A$0.50 and A$1 examples on this page are not limits, and the A$1 bet has a maximum win of A$12,000. Ordinary symbol wins are multiplied by the bet per line across 25 paylines, not the total bet.
The series also includes Mustang Gold Megaways, with a lower RTP and a maximum win under half that of Mustang Gold. The RTP figures on this page are stated per A$100 staked, so the two can be compared directly.
Three campfire Scatter symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 in one spin trigger 8 free spins. The free spins use special reels with more Money Symbols and Collect symbols than the base game. Three more Scatters during free spins add 8 more spins, and retriggers have no limit.
Mustang Gold has an RTP of 96.53, which is the theoretical return on A$100 staked over a very large number of spins. That is a long-run average, so one session can finish well above or well below it. No session can show in advance where the result will land.
Mustang Gold is in the Fairgo Casino game lobby, where every bet starts at A$0.25. Use the smallest stake to see how a round runs before raising the bet.

Worried that a different game will work the same way as this one?
Only players aged 18+ can play Mustang Gold. Help in Australia is available through the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before the first spin, and keep to it. Bets start at A$0.25, so the stake can fit the budget.
Decide in advance when to stop, including after a win. A win on the reels does not oblige you to keep spinning.
Set deposit and loss limits in the account before the first spin. They cap the money spent on a session at a fixed amount.
Take a break, or self-exclude, once the game stops being fun. Stepping away from the reels is always a choice open to you.
