Pick Mustang Gold if you want a Western game with horses and cowboys. It runs on a 5x3 grid, five reels by three rows, with 25 fixed paylines. A win needs at least three matching symbols on one of those paylines. Ordinary symbol wins multiply by the bet per line, not the total bet. The reels show horse heads, a cowboy, a cowgirl and the card symbols A, K, Q and J.
Choose Mustang Gold over a plain reel game if you want bonus features. Three campfire Scatters open the Free Spins feature, and there is no limit on retriggers. Money symbols on horseshoes feed Money Collect in the base game and Free Spins. A JACKPOT-tagged money symbol starts the Jackpot Reveal Bonus Game, where you pick horseshoes to uncover jackpot symbols.

Quick Summary
After this, you will know how each bonus starts and what it changes during a spin.
It starts when one or more horseshoe Money Symbols on reels 1 to 4 and a Collect symbol on reel 5 land in one spin. Each visible Money Symbol value, in total-bet multiples, is paid on top of the payline win. Active in both base game and Free Spins.
Any base spinAdded win money
Three campfire Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger 8 free spins. The special reels hold more Money Symbols and Collect symbols than the base game. Three more Scatters bring 8 more free spins, and retriggers have no limit.
Base game spins8 free spins
It opens when the Collect symbol on reel 5 collects a Money Symbol tagged JACKPOT. Each JACKPOT tag gives one round, played in order. Pick horseshoes to reveal jackpot symbols; three matching symbols award that jackpot: Grand 1000x, Major 200x, Minor 100x or Mini 50x total bet.

How to play
The main worry is what a spin costs, and the bet answers that before any reel moves.
Before the first spin, you pick a bet from A$0.25 up to A$250. The paytable uses A$1, and ordinary symbol wins multiply by the bet per line, not the total bet.
Three or more matching symbols on one of the 25 fixed paylines make a win on the 5x3 grid.
Horseshoes on reels 1 to 4 and a Collect symbol on reel 5 in the same spin add their values to your payline win.
Three campfire Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger 8 free spins. Special reels carry more Money Symbols and Collect symbols than the base game.
Set your spending limit before the first spin. Nobody can know in advance when a free spins round or Jackpot Reveal Bonus Game starts, so decide your stop point now.
Before you bet, check the return to player, measured per A$100 staked over a long run. One session can land above or below that average. The version is shown in the game rules.
| Payback level | RTP | Shipped as standard |
|---|---|---|
| Variant 1 | 96.53% | Included |
Before you pick a bet on Mustang Gold, accept that you cannot know how often the Free Spins or the Jackpot Reveal Bonus Game will come. Nothing on this page predicts that. The result of one session is random, and the RTP describes the return over a very long run, not the outcome of your next hour.
Before you wager, find the RTP version in the game rules. Mustang Gold exists in other versions with other RTPs, and Newvegas Casino shows which one runs only there. Open the rules from the lobby entry before you deposit or spin.
Before you raise your bet to chase the top prize, understand the maximum win as a ceiling. It sits at a fixed multiple of the bet, and reaching it is very rare. Plan your session around the money you can afford to lose, not around that ceiling.
Know before spinning
After these answers you will know how Mustang Gold differs from its versions and what it pays.
Pick Mustang Gold if a higher ceiling matters to you. The Megaways version caps its maximum win at 5,000 times the bet, while this slot reaches 12,000 times, and the Megaways version also has a slightly lower RTP.
Think of 12,000 times the bet as the ceiling, not the usual result. At A$1 a spin that is A$12,000, and at the top bet of A$250 it reaches A$3,000,000.
Check the paytable before you bet, since it shows payouts for an A$1 bet. Bets here run from A$0.25 to A$250, so choose a stake your budget can carry for a full session.
Expect medium volatility from Mustang Gold, a middle point on the scale between steady and spiky games. How often the bonus comes and how a session ends cannot be known in advance.
Read 96.53 percent as the long-run return of this slot, not a promise for one session. Mustang Gold Megaways returns 96.46 percent, so over the long run it pays back slightly less.

Decide how much you can lose on Mustang Gold before you open the game, and keep that amount apart from your bills.
Set your stop point before the first spin, and keep it after a win too. A win does not change what you can afford.
