Pragmatic Play · 2024
Mustang Gold Megaways is a high volatility 6-reel video slot by Pragmatic Play. This page covers its figures, round, bonus modes and limits.
Six reels show a new mix of symbols on every spin, so the number of ways to win changes each time. Reels one and six show up to seven symbols, and reels two to five show up to six, with a top-row symbol spinning right to left. Three matching symbols make the smallest win, and the Western theme shows mustang heads, a cowboy, a cowgirl and card symbols.
Winning symbols break apart, and new ones fall in until no win remains. A SCATTER and a COLLECT on the same spin start Free Spins, and GOLDEN COLLECT symbols then trigger respins. Gamble offers extra free spins before a round, and Ante Bet raises the natural trigger chance. Buy Free Spins starts a round from the base game, unless Ante Bet is set higher.

Feature guide
The usual worry is not knowing how a free spins round starts and what the choice involves.
A SCATTER and COLLECT landing on the same spin start the free spins. Before the round, gamble for +3 or +5 free spins, up to 5 gambles and a 100-spin cap, or collect at once. A GOLDEN COLLECT appears, and SCATTER with COLLECT or GOLDEN COLLECT retriggers the round.
Base gameFree spins round
On a free spin, a GOLDEN COLLECT symbol not already at the bottom of its reel triggers a respin and moves down one position. Respins repeat until all GOLDEN COLLECT symbols have left the screen through the bottom.
During free spinsExtra respins
The free spins round starts at once from the base game, for 120x the current total bet. The triggering spin gives at least 3 free spins. It is unavailable when Ante Bet 30x is selected.
Before any spinInstant free spins
Reels 1 and 6 show up to 7 symbols, reels 2 to 5 up to 6 plus a top-row symbol, giving up to 117,649 ways. Winning symbols explode, the rest fall, and new ones drop in until no win remains. SCATTER, MONEY and COLLECT symbols do not explode.

Mustang Gold Megaways
This block settles how a single round runs, from choosing a bet to the last spin.
The reels wait for a bet between A$0.20 and A$360, and the bet you pick sets every win and cost after it.
Spins on the six reels form up to 117,649 ways, and three matching symbols are the fewest that pay.
On the reels, Tumble clears winning symbols after each win while new ones drop in from above, but Money Collect symbols stay where they are.
Landing SCATTER and COLLECT on the same spin starts the Free Spins, and you may gamble for +3 or +5 free spins or collect at once.
Each spin on the reels takes the bet, so set your limit before the first spin and step away when you reach it. The National Gambling Helpline is 1800 858 858.
Mustang Gold Megaways
This block settles what the trial offers and what the real game requires.
Each demo spin lands on the same Megaways grid but pays nothing and costs no money. The real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
Play for moneyEach spin on the six reels builds a new set of symbols, and the Free Spins round triggers when SCATTER and COLLECT land on the same spin. How often that happens is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP, and it can finish well above or below the amount you started with.
Every spin on the reels runs under one of three RTP versions, and the version running here is shown only in the game rules. Check those rules before you play, so you know which return applies to the stake you choose.
A run of tumbles and a full Free Spins round can build toward the top prize, yet the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. Treat it as the outer edge of the paytable, not as an expected result of a session or a bonus.
Know the payouts clearly
Settles before a first bet: maximum win, smallest stake, volatility and how the series versions differ.
A single round on the reels can pay up to x5,000 your bet. At the A$10 example bet that is A$50,000. And at the highest allowed bet of A$360 it is A$1,800,000. These figures set a ceiling, not an expected result.
Each spin on the reels can start at A$0.20, the smallest bet and the paytable bet. Start there to see how a round runs before you raise the stake.
Results on the reels vary widely, because Mustang Gold Megaways has high volatility. Large wins can sit far apart, and no session follows a set pattern.
A win in the other version, Mustang Gold, can reach x12,000 against x5,000 here, with an RTP of 96.53 against 96.46. Compare the RTP figures in the table before choosing a version.

When the game stops being fun, take a break from the reels, and self-exclude if you find it hard to stop.
