Mustang Gold Megaways by Pragmatic Play
Review & Online Demo Play
Overview
Mustang Gold Megaways rejuvenates the Western-themed classic with the exhilarating Megaways mechanic, offering a broader and more dynamic gaming landscape.
Set against a backdrop of pastel skies and rugged terrains, this updated version extends the playing field with a 6-reel layout and up to 117,649 ways to win. Features such as tumbles, Money Collect, and enhanced free spins with Golden Collect symbols add new layers to its gameplay. Despite familiar elements, the inclusion of Megaways offers new depth, providing both high volatility and expanded potential with a win cap of up to 5,000x the bet.
Features and bonuses
Tumble Feature
After each winning combination, the symbols involved are removed, allowing new symbols to drop down from above, potentially creating additional wins. This process continues until no more winning combinations are formed, giving players the chance to chain multiple wins from a single spin.
Money Symbols and Collect Feature
Golden horseshoes can land with values ranging from 2x to 15x your stake. In addition to these, there are Jackpot Money symbols offering higher values, including the Mini (20x), Minor (50x), Major (100x), and Grand (2,500x) jackpots. To collect the values of these symbols, you need a Collect Symbol to land on the reels.
In the free spins round, a special Golden Collect Symbol can also appear, which not only collects money values but also triggers a respin if it lands above the bottom row, moving down one position with each respin.
Free Spins with Gamble Feature
Triggered by collecting scatter symbols using the Collect Symbol, before the free spins begin, you have the option to gamble for additional spins, with the potential to earn up to 100 free spins. However, be cautious - an unsuccessful gamble can result in losing all your spins.
During free spins, the Golden Collect symbol enhances your chances by collecting both free spins and money symbol values, prolonging the feature.
Buy Free Spins and Ante Bet
For those who prefer direct access to the action, the game offers a Buy Free Spins option for 120x your stake, guaranteeing at least three free spins.
Additionally, you can activate the Ante Bet feature, which increases your stake by 50% and doubles your chances of triggering the free spins round.

Final say
Jack's verdict
Mustang tries to lasso in the excitement with its upgraded Megaways mechanics but doesn't fully gallop into greatness. The scenic backdrop and the expanded reel structure are nice touches, yet the game can feel like a well-trodden path with its familiar free spins and Money Collect features. It's decent for a few spins, but may not keep all players saddled up for long.
Tim's verdict
Had a trot around and it's fair to say it's a solid ride, not a rodeo. The update adds some breadth with the Megaways system, yet the charm of the original seems diluted amidst the expansion. The bonus features like the Money Collect add a spark, but the thrill doesn't quite match the spectacle of its predecessor. It’s worth a gander for fans of the theme, though it might not rope in everyone.
