Does Mustang Gold suit a cautious player?
Pick Mustang Gold if you enjoy horse and Western themes on a 5x3 grid. The game runs 25 fixed paylines, and a win needs at least three matching symbols on one payline. Ordinary symbol wins multiply by your bet per line, not by your total bet. The symbols are white and dark mustang heads, a cowboy with a revolver, a cowgirl, and the card values A, K, Q and J.
Choose it if you want bonus rounds on top of the base game. Three campfire Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 start 8 free spins with extra Money and Collect symbols. Horseshoes on reels 1 to 4 add up when a Collect symbol lands on reel 5, in the base game and in free spins. Collected jackpot-tagged symbols open a Jackpot Reveal round.

Know each step
See how one round pays out
You will know the order of one round, from first bet to last payout.
Before the spin, not after
Choose a bet from A$0.25 up to A$250 before the first spin. Ordinary symbol wins are multiplied by the bet per line, so the 25 fixed paylines split your total bet.
How many matches make a win?
A win forms when at least 3 matching symbols land on one of the 25 fixed paylines. The paytable on this page shows the values at the A$0.40 bet.
Watch reel 5 after the horseshoes
Horseshoe Money Symbols on reels 1 to 4 add up when a Collect symbol lands on reel 5 in the same spin. Their total in bet multiples joins the payline win.
Three Scatters, eight spins
Three campfire Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 start 8 free spins. The special reels carry more Money Symbols and Collect symbols than the base game does.
A clear stopping point
Decide how much you will spend before the first spin, and stop there. A round can end in a big win or none, and nobody knows in advance which.

The Base Game Explained
Every spin starts here on 5 reels and 3 rows with 25 fixed paylines, and ordinary symbol wins are multiplied by bet per line rather than total bet. Money Symbols sit on reels 1 to 4 only.

Can anyone predict which spin pays?
Choosing how many spins to set aside comes before any reel turns. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a good run and a poor run can both happen at the same bet. Set a budget you can afford to lose.
Before you place a bet, check which RTP version is running. Only the game rules show that, so open them before your first spin and compare the figure with the table on this page. Versions can carry different percentages, so the rules decide.
Deciding whether to chase the top prize starts with one fact: the maximum win of x12,000 times the bet is a ceiling. It is reached very rarely, so plan your budget around what you can afford, not around that top prize.
Two paths
Practice spins and paid spins compared
At Pub Casino we want you to see how the game moves before any money goes in.
Pick the demo to learn the reels first. It needs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
Play for realKeeping the game in its place
Strictly 18 and over. If gambling stops being a pastime, the National Gambling Helpline is on 1800 858 858, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
Set the stake before you spin
Pick an amount you would be relaxed to lose and treat it as spent, then let the stake fit inside it. Adding more once it is gone turns a pastime into a chase.
When does the session end?
Name a finish line before the reels turn, maybe a number of spins or a time on the clock. A win is a good place to walk away, not a reason to raise the stake.
Are your account limits set?
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account so the decision is already made before the mood shifts. Limits hold when your judgement is tired.
Mustang Gold stays a game
If the reels start feeling like an obligation, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop. Getting the money back is not a plan that works.

Know it faster
Mustang Gold in short answers
You will have settled the four questions that decide whether this slot suits you.
How is Mustang Gold different from Megaways?
This is the five-reel game with the Collect horseshoe and the campfire free spins. Mustang Gold Megaways came later, spreads its wins across far more ways and stops at a lower top prize. Their return figures differ slightly too.
What bets does Mustang Gold allow?
Stakes start at the lowest coin the reels accept and run to a high-roller ceiling. At the top stake the biggest possible return is A$3,000,000, while a small stake of A$5 tops out far lower. The chosen stake scales every prize.
How volatile is Mustang Gold?
Payouts arrive in fairly even waves rather than long silent stretches, so a session feels steady without huge swings. The collect horseshoes and the free spins are where the big numbers sit. Nothing predicts when either will come.
What is the maximum win on Mustang Gold?
The ceiling is the stake multiplied by many times over, reaching A$3,000,000 at the highest permitted bet. Grand, Major, Minor and Mini jackpots, plus collect horseshoes, feed that total. Most rounds will not approach it.
