Mustang Gold Megaways is a slot game developed by Pragmatic Play with the theme of the American Wild West. The game's visual aesthetic evokes a classic Western atmosphere, with imagery associated with cowboys, horses and the open range. The slot features the Megaways game mechanic, which dynamically determines the number of paylines on each spin. Players form winning combinations by matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right.
A wild symbol is present and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and special symbols, increasing the potential for winning combinations. The Scatter symbol triggers the game's bonus feature. The main bonus round is the Free Spins feature, which is activated by collecting Scatter symbols with a designated Collect symbol. During Free Spins, a Golden Collect symbol can appear, collecting money symbols and triggering respins.
The game includes a Collect feature, where a Collect symbol adds up the values of all Money symbols on the reels and awards the sum as a win. In addition, a Tumble mechanic removes winning symbols and replaces them with new ones, potentially creating additional winning combinations. Players have the option of activating an Ante bet, which increases the chance of triggering the Free Spins feature at the cost of a higher wager.
Mustang Gold Megaways is classified as a high-volatility game, which means that large wins occur less frequently, but tend to be of greater value when they do occur. The maximum potential win is 5,000 times the initial bet.
The Golden Collect symbol is a notable feature of Mustang Gold Megaways as it can significantly affect the outcome of the Free Spins round, extending its duration and increasing the potential for substantial wins.
