MUSTANG GOLD
Pragmatic kicks off an anticipated ‘year of design’
with its jackpot-heavy slot Mustang Gold
In brief, how would you describe
Mustang Gold to our readers?
Mustang Gold uses a ‘money collect’
feature, volatile free spins and
fixed jackpots to create an exciting,
unique and dynamic game, where the
potential for a big win is always just
around the corner.
Q
A
How does the gameplay work,
and which unique features and
mechanics set Mustang Gold apart
from other slot titles in the market?
The game has three main features:
money collect, fixed jackpots and
free spins. The whole experience
revolves around the game’s special
symbols, which have random money
values attached to them and appear
on reels two to four. The chase for a
collect symbol adds extra engagement
and pays the total amount of the
money symbols. This makes every spin
important as each reel can bring a big
win – even if no other symbols connect
on the first reels.
The chase becomes even more
important when jackpot symbols are
seen on the screen, as collect will award
a jackpot mini-game when it lands. With
up to 12 jackpot symbols and a collect
symbol available, players can win up to
12 jackpots on a single spin.
In free spins, meanwhile, there are

more money symbols and more collect
symbols lining the reels, making it much
easier to hit the wins.
Across which markets and
platforms is the slot available?
As with the entire Pragmatic Play
portfolio, Mustang Gold is available
across mobile and desktop, with a
mini version facilitating extended
on-the-go play sessions. The game
is built in HTML5, which means it can
run on any device that has a browser,
and the game will adapt seamlessly to
any screen.
Mustang Gold is available for
operators across all regulated
European markets, including the UK,
Malta, Sweden, Denmark, Gibraltar,
Italy, Portugal, Spain, Lithuania, Latvia,
Estonia, Bulgaria and Romania.
Pragmatic Play is committed to the
consistent expansion of its global
footprint and has plans to enter
many more jurisdictions in 2019.
Mustang Gold will obviously be a
flagship title in all of these.
