Mustang Trail

Pragmatic Play has tons of similar slots under their belt by now, and it’s safe to say that they are well-versed in the North American animal and Native American genre. The visual presentation doesn’t really stick out in any way compared to previous releases, and the 5×3 grid is set inside an Indian camp with tipis in the background. Mustang Trail is a title that fits the bill, however, as you can see the horses galloping in the background (if you pay close attention).

Not only that, but the bonus round also comes with a massive trail above the grid, and golden mustang scatters are collected to award extra spins and sticky wilds. This is the main attraction for sure, but you do get extra wilds whenever at least one wild appears in the base game. Even a grid full of wilds awards “only” 1,500x, however, so you’ll need the bonus round to close in on the 5,000x potential. Mustang Trail is nothing too special, perhaps, but still a decent shelf-filler that will probably entertain some players for a while.

Mustang Trail Slot Features

The premium symbols, consisting of lizards, goats, eagles, buffalos, and the mustang as the top-tier symbol, award between 20 and 150 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The lower-value Royal symbols pay 10x your stake for the same, and Wild symbols step in for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve wins.

The Wild pays the same as the top-tier Mustang symbol should you land 2 to 5 wilds on the same payline. In addition, whenever you land a Wild symbol in the base game, a random number of extra wilds are added randomly across the grid.

The Mustang Trail Bonus Round triggers from 3 scatters in view, and this awards 8 free spins. The scatter can appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game, but it can land on all 5 reels during the actual feature. Scatters are collected in the trail above the grid when they appear in the bonus round, and you win +5 extra spins per 3 collected scatters. Up to 25 extra spins can be won this way, and a sticky wild is added to the grid per retrigger as well.

On a final note with regards to the Mustang Trail Slot features, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can take advantage of the Bonus Buy option. This will set you back 50x your stake, and you get 8 free spins from the 3 triggering scatters. The RTP increases just a tad, to 96.05 %, or at least that’s true for the top-tier RTP setting. The organic bonus round hit rate is 1 in 120 spins, which is better than average according to our research.

You get a brief and mostly uneventful taste of the base game, before we purchase the bonus round at 0:35 into the 2:55-minute highlights video. We landed some larger wins during the feature though, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

If you pay close attention down to the left, you will see Mustangs running along what we presume is their trail in the background, but you’ll only catch a brief glimpse before they disappear behind the grid. The effort seems a bit wasted, however, and we only wish Pragmatic Play had poured more of it into the actual gameplay. Overall, the visuals are fairly standard stuff in the North American animal genre, and this one comes with a Native American angle which is fairly common as well.

The random wilds that spawn from each wild you land can certainly be helpful, but it’s hardly the height of innovation. The Mustang Trail you get in the bonus round can award a decent amount of extra spins, but getting only 1 sticky wild per retrigger seems stingy. It’s hard to go very far on the trail as well, but at least the bonus round triggers fairly often. The 5,000x potential is standard stuff from Pragmatic as well. It comes with a solid 1 in 10,438,413 spins hit rate though, but Mustang Trail is not a game we will return to anytime soon.
