Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Ainsworth has visited the wild horses of the American West before in Mustang Money and Mustang Spirit. Now we’re back with a traditional 5x3 layout, an impressive 100 paylines and a whole new bonus feature: the Hold’n’Stack round. If you’ve seen Hold’n’Stack features before, you’ll know that means free spins, multipliers, jackpots and all kinds of fun.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Few settings can inspire the same kind of feelings as the great sweeping deserts of the American West. That’s why we see so many games like the Mustang Gold slot. It’s where mustangs, the wild horses descended from Spanish colonial animals, gallop freely with their manes streaming in the wind. In Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks you’ll also see other iconic creatures such as the scorpion, coyote, bear and eagle. 

These animals are depicted in vivid detail, their bodies almost glowing, while behind them the transparent reels allow a direct view of red sands and blue sky. It’s a blurry background, but its subject is instantly recognisable. There’s also a soundtrack fit for a movie over the traditional slot noises, and lively animations on winning spins to make things more engaging.

Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks RTP and Variance

We’ve seen the RTP of Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks cited at 96.02% or 96.04%, but either way it’s still right in the range we want to see from our Ainsworth slots. As always, don’t take this figure as an absolute guarantee about your winning chances, but do feel reassured that at least the averages are good. Ainsworth have chosen not to reveal the official variance of Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks, so the best way to get a feel for frequency of wins is to spin the free demo a few times.

How to Play Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks

Are you ready to tame the wild horse?

1. The best way to learn how Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks works is to take a look at the 'how to play' and 'game rules' pages, both found behind the info button in the menu linked at the bottom left corner of the screen.
2. In the menu is also where you’ll find two separate sound buttons, one for sound effects and one for music. They’re both on/off. There’s also a link to the homepage.
3. Once you close the menu, you can move right to the bet adjustor. This takes the form of up and down arrows either side of your current bet display. Choose a sensible amount.
4. If you’re a high roller, you could just move further right to the max bet button.
5. Carrying on right, you’ll see the most recent win and current balance, both important for tracking the cash you have available and working out when you’ll be able to walk away still relatively happy.
6. Last of the controls at the bottom of the screen is the payline adjustor, which again uses arrow keys to go up and down.
7. Now it’s time to go up slightly to choose between a single spin from the big spin button or between 5 and 25 automatic spins from the smaller autoplay button. You can’t include your loss and single win limits as stopping points in autoplay.

Always play responsibly. When the fun stops, stop.

Bet & Win Sizes

The bet adjustor shows your total bet, from a 1.00 minimum to a 50.00 maximum. Not huge, but enough to satisfy most people and keep things sensible.

How much you win depends on how many symbols you match across your active paylines. When your bet changes, so does the paytable. If you start at the minimum bet, then a maximum 5 matches will pay as follows:

10, J - 0.50

Q, K, A - 0.75

Cacti, Scorpion, Coyote - 1.00

Bear - 1.50

Eagle - 2.00

Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks Bonus Features

Clearly, the thing that sets Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks apart is the Hold’n’Stack feature. It’s triggered by collecting three scatter symbols, which look like coins. 

During Hold’n’Stack, you will be awarded 5 free games. Every coin that lands during the round will be 'held' in place. Each coin will have a bonus of between 1x and 50x your total bet. 'Cash Stack Bonuses' appear above the reels, one for each column. They include opportunities to win 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 extra games, or to boost your chance of winning a larger prize. You can also win between 3x and 200x your total bet, or be awarded the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand jackpot. Cash Stack bonuses are awarded if you find 3 coins in the same reel.

Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks Review

There’s a sense of wildness and freedom in the graphics of Mustang Spirit Cash Stacks, and that alone will attract some players. Hold’n’Stack isn’t the simplest bonus round in the world (some people may prefer more standards free spins and multipliers), but once it gets going it does offer lots of chance to increase your winnings, with some extra thrills. The opportunity to play games like this is why we enjoy our free play slots.
