Imagine the air miles you’d have if you frequented the American Midwest as often as you did playing slots themed on it. This is a genre of slot game that looks like it is going nowhere folks, and to be honest, does it really matter? As long as a title offers up great gameplay, solid winning potential, good graphics, and some exciting bonus features, the theme barely matters. Does the Pragmatic Play slot Mustang Gold Megaways, the sequel to the developer’s Mustang Gold slot, tick those boxes? I guess we’re about to find out. As for the stats, it is a six-reel slot featuring up to 117,649 ways to win, a 94.46% RTP, and a maximum win of 5,000x the stake.
There have been quite a few changes made to the sequel compared to the original. Implementing the Megaways mechanic is obvious, but the winning potential is probably the most important. The max win has increased to 5,000x from 2,000x, and the Grand fixed jackpot you can win is up from 1,000x to 2,500x. You can win that jackpot along with three others and cash prizes of up to 15x the stake during the base game whenever Collect symbols land on the same spin. As for the free spins round, how this is triggered has also been altered from last time, too. This is activated when scatters are collected by the Collect symbols, and you can now gamble them for more, too.
It probably hasn’t been long since slots took you on a trip to the American Midwest, but don’t let that put you off – check out our Mustang Gold Megaways slot demo below.

theme, stakes, pays & symbols
Finding slots themed on the North American plains is about as tricky as finding sand in the desert, but just because there are sackfuls of these games, it doesn’t mean they’re all worth playing. Some have become monster hits, though, and if you want a couple more popular slot demos in this niche to try out, I’d recommend Blueprint Gaming’s Buffalo Rising Megaways and the classic Bonanza Megaways slot from Big Time Gaming.
As we move to the pays section of the Mustang Gold Megaways slot game, it becomes clear that the 8 regular-paying symbols are split down the middle in terms of high and low pay. The White Horse returns a maximum of 5x the stake, the Black Horse rewards up to 2x, and the Cowboy and Cowgirl are worth up to 1.5x and 1.2x, respectively. The Ace, King, Queen, and Jack round things off with top payouts of 0.75x, 0.6x, 0.5x, and 0.4x. A Wild symbol also helps create winning combos by substituting for each of the symbols above. It can land on all reels except the first.
The betting range begins with a minimum spin bet of €0.20 supported and ends with a maximum of €240.00 allowed. You can adjust that value using the plus and minus buttons next to the spin button.
Base Game & Modifiers
The main difference between this sequel and the original is the Megaways mechanic, leased from Big Time Gaming. This mechanic can deliver up to 117,649 ways to win across its 6-reel format. You’re paid out when three or more matching symbols appear on consecutive reels starting from the first reel. Winning symbols are removed from the reels so that more can cascade in from above to potentially form further winning combinations. That process continues until no new combos form.
Money Collect
In addition to regular symbols and wilds, Money Symbols and Jackpot Symbols can appear on the reels, carrying instant cash prizes as a multiplier of the stake. Those instant prizes are as follows:
- Cash Symbols: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, 10x, or 15x.
- Jackpot Symbols: Mini (20x), Minor (50x), Major (100x), or Grand (2,500x).
Those instant prizes are only paid out if they land on the same spin as a Collect symbol.
Ante Bet
For 50% on top of the current stake, you can spin with more scatter symbols on the reels, which gives you a greater chance of triggering the free spins bonus. This is done by activating the Ante Bet feature to the left of the reels.
Mustang Gold Megaways slot bonus features
Scatter symbols hold values of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, the number of free spins they award whenever a Collect symbol lands on the same spin. Once the Collect symbol collects the scatter symbols, the combined values of the free spins on the scatter symbols are awarded.
Before the free spins bonus kicks into action, players can gamble the free spins granted for more. A spin of a gamble wheel can reward an additional 3 or 5 free spins up to five times and up to a maximum of 100. The gamble win can also lose and therefore lose all free spins previously won.
Free Spins Feature
During the feature, you can win additional free spins on top of any collected cash symbols via any Collect and Golden Collect symbols. When a Golden Collect lands to collect those prizes and spins, it will move down one position (assuming it’s not on the bottom row) and cause a re-spin of the reels. That process continues until the Golden Collect reaches the bottom row.
Bonus Buy
Alternatively, you can use the Buy Bonus feature to purchase the free spins bonus outright for 120x the current spin. This feature guarantees a minimum of 3 free spins.
Pros
- A major overhaul from the original, especially adding Megaways.
- An improved max win.
Cons
- The theme is a bit overused.
Mustang Gold Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
There have been quite a few changes from the original Mustang Gold slot, so that’s a big positive, as it’s not a title that gripped me (or anyone else, judging by its popularity). The question is, have the reworks done enough to turn an average slot into a good one? I’m not quite sure. While it offers improved winning potential over its predecessor, it still lags behind similar titles from other developers.
