Despite the impending chill of winter, Pragmatic Play has opted to release a brand new video slot in the first month of 2019. In this Wild West adventure, players will help Cowboys and Cowgirls round up wild Mustangs.
Gather ’round the fire pit, for the Scatter is the key to unlocking the Free Games bonus. There are no restrictions on retriggering the feature once you’ve used up your initial 8 freebies. You can earn up to 1,000 times your stake if you collect enough Horseshoes and use them in conjunction with the Sheriff’s Badge to collect quick winnings and activate the Jackpot Reveal Bonus feature.
In-Game Icons
Take in the sights of the open plains as you aid the Cowboy and Cowgirl in their pursuit of wild Mustangs. The White Mustang is the most dangerous of the horses and will return 20 times your wager if you find him. The Black Mustang is likewise popular, but for a lower price. On the reels, you’ll also see the Cowboy and Cowgirl. The logo represents the wild card, which can be used in place of any other symbol. The Scatter that starts the Free Spins round is the campfire.
Four playing cards make up the low-value symbols, but the golden Horseshoes appear frequently. Horseshoes are a symbol of good fortune, and here they can help you win money and the Jackpot when paired with the Sheriff’s Badge, which only occurs on reel 5.
Gameplay
The reels in this Pragmatic Play creation are set right next to the fence of a ranch that looks out over the wide plains below. You can start catching Mustangs after only a couple of minutes of reading up on the guidelines. The 2019 edition has 25 fixed paylines that pay from left to right, beginning with the first reel. There are five reels and three rows. If you want to start winning, you need to get at least three identical symbols on a payline.
The settings menu is comprehensive and easy to navigate. You can adjust your wager using the plus and minus buttons to the right of the Spin button. If you’ve had enough of manually spinning the reels, you may set up to 100 automatic spins under Autoplay. Paytables contain all of the information pertaining to the slot machine.
Additional Value
The horseshoe symbol can appear on the reels to award a multiplier or the jackpot symbol. The Money Collect feature is activated and the complete value of the Horseshoes are paid out if one or more Horseshoe symbols bearing a specified value land on the reels at the same moment a Sheriff’s Badge symbol appears (it only lands on reel 5). Similar conditions apply to the Jackpot Reveal Bonus, however this time the Horseshoes will reveal a Jackpot symbol rather than cash. Players then have the chance to win one of four jackpots, each worth up to 1,000 times their initial wager, by selecting three identical symbols.
Free games are triggered when the Fire Scatter symbol appears three times anywhere on reels 2, 3, and 4. With any luck, you can set off the bonus multiple times and rack up a nice pile of extras. In addition, you can use the Money Collect feature when playing free games.
Payouts
The maximum payoff for the Pragmatic Play product is 12,000 times the initial wager. The White Mustang has the highest payout, at 20 times the initial wager for a full house. With the Jackpot option, you can win 50x, 100x, 200x, or even 1000x your initial wager. Mustang Gold has a medium volatility and a high return to player percentage of 96.53. Players can wager anywhere from $0.25 up to $125 per spin.
Verdict
The 2019 edition of the Mustang Gold video slot has plenty of exciting features to keep you toasty on those cold winter days. The Money Collect bonus round has the potential to award some surprisingly large payouts, and the Jackpot can award up to 1,000 times the wager. Although players are only given 8 free spins to begin with, they can easily earn more by retriggering the feature. The coolest part is that you can keep retriggering forever. We’re confident that any gamer who visits this ranch will have a fantastic time.
