Anyone else getting cleaned out by the Mustang Money pokies this week?
Mustang Money at 5/6 volatility is doing exactly what it's designed to do, chew the budget between features and pay you back in lumps when the Free Games land. Worth remembering there's no single published RTP on these Ainsworths, each venue sets it within the state minimum, so the pub down the road might genuinely be tighter than your club. If your arvo is surviving on hit rate, this one will punish that approach between bonuses. 📊
Do the EV, then spin.
Yep, 5/6 vol explains it. Got the Free Games once out of four slaps this week, paid okay, rest of the arvo was feeding a dead machine. Pub version might be tighter than the club one too. 🔥
Bankroll discipline wins 💸
Tighter at the pub than the club? Reckon that's more the venue setting than anything you can bank on, mate, every place sets its own figure within the state minimum so two pubs around the corner can play differently. Mustang Money's chewed me up plenty of arvos too, that 5/6 volatility means you're feeding it between features and hoping the Free Games land in a lump. Turned 50 into 5k on a hot one years back, then busted more banks than I've deposited since, ah well, we grind on 😄
SamJackpot is right and it's the part most punters skip over. There's no single published RTP on Mustang Money at all, the venue dials it in within the state minimum, so your local could be running tighter than the club up the road and you'd never know from sitting there. That's exactly why "it's due" talk on this one means nothing to me. 5/6 volatility just means it takes bigger bites between the Free Games, and if the venue has set it stingy, those lumps come around a lot rarer. Had a slap on it myself after a shift, feature finally landed and barely covered the feeding beforehand. Same cabinet, different figures, different night. Ask the venue flat out what theirs is set at. If they squirm, that tells you plenty.
RTP doesn't lie, win screenshots do.
Royal_Chaser nails it, the venue sets its own figure and you'd never pick it from the stool. Only thing I'd add is that even a generous setting on this one still eats you alive between features at 5/6 volatility. Had two slaps on the Mustang Money cabinet near the bottle-o line last month, Free Games landed once and briefly looked like a session saver, then the base game chewed the rest of the arvo to nothing.
So yeah, agree with everyone about no published RTP and pubs running whatever they're allowed to run. But long-run it's still minus no matter which venue dialled it in. Anyone actually got a screenshot of a decent Free Games hit on this brute? Happy to believe it when you cash out, otherwise it's all pub legends to me.

I’ve been playing Mustang Money a bit this week and I totally picked up what you said about the venue setting the figures. It really makes you feel like you're just guessing what the house thinks is fair. The volatility is definitely noticeable because when those big wins don't hit, it feels like the game just keeps taking away your balance quickly.
I guess I'm just a total noob here, but when things feel so tight between the feature hits, does anyone know if there’s a way to spot when the bonus rounds are about to trigger, or is it completely random spin by spin? 🙏
New here, soaking it up.
Watched a bloke two stools down hit the Free Games on Mustang Money last night while I cycled through half my arvo budget on base game spinouts, classic 5/6 behaviour. I reckon the club one near me plays fairer than the pub version but who could actually prove it. Walked when the budget was done, that part I can control. 🎰

@LeeBrekkie that's Mustang Money in a nutshell hey, one punter in the feature and the whole bank of stools feeding it 😂 I copped the same at my club Friday, watched a bloke stack up while I burnt through my budget on spinouts. Honestly I can't tell if the club one's looser or I just play it more there 🤷♂️
One slot, one love 🎰

@Brizzie_Blue that image of the whole bank of stools feeding one punter is Mustang Money to a tee 😄 turned 50 into 5k on this game once at a club up here, but I've also fed it a full arvo budget for nothing more times than I'd admit to the wife.
For what it's worth I lean with LeeBrekkie, the club units seem kinder than the pub ones, though the analyst bloke is right that you'd need a mountain of notes before you could call it anything more than a feeling. Gramps, don't let the guessing get to you, the old-school grind always had a bit of mystery in it, even back when Queen of the Nile was ruling the floor.
I remember the old slots first-hand.

@BonusVegas 50 into 5k on Mustang Money is the dream mate 🤑 I've had one decent hit on it and chased it ever since, rest is just feeding the stools 🔥🎰
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
LeeBrekkie's story is textbook Mustang Money, one punter in the feature while everyone else funds it. I keep notes per venue on this one and the pub machine near me has felt tighter than the club version, though on a small spin sample you can't prove a setting from base game spinouts alone. At 5/6 volatility the Free Games carry the whole session, so if the feature hasn't landed in your arvo, the budget's gone before you've seen what the game can actually pay. Anyone tracked how often the feature shows up at their local across a few visits?
Do the EV, then spin.
Nah, I dunno why y'all are so down on Mustang Money. I reckon you just gotta wait for your moment with those things. Last Friday I was smashing the pokies down at the local club and I snagged one of those huge win ngl. It was just pure fire! 🔥 The game itself is absolutely brilliant when it hits right. You just need to keep chipping away and that massive payout comes. Don't let the little dry spells get you down, you just gotta trust the beast. 💰🎰🤑
Backing my slot to the last spin.
Huge win? The huge win was your club's roof getting a new coat of paint mate 🤣 Mustang Money took my budget off me Saturday and I got to watch some bloke with a schnitzel and a stubby hit the feature.
Mustang Money has eaten my last two club visits as well 😅 I only ever put in like A$20 a go and both times it just quietly swallowed it while someone near me got the feature. Maybe I'm being dumb but is there any point in sitting on these things longer, like does the game actually get closer to paying or is every spin the same? Still learning how all this works 🤔
