Introduction to Almighty Mustang Express White Bison
Almighty Mustang Express White Bison is a casino slot from Blueprint Gaming that follows up on Almighty Mustang Express. Once again, we’re stepping aboard a golden train that runs through rural America. There is no train in real-world America called Mustang Express, but there is actually a natural pipeline project in Texas called the Mustang Express Pipeline. However, this made-up express has many features in its carriage. To start with, you have the Cash Prize Symbols that can trigger the Cash Feature, which is an exciting respin game. There are also Mystery Symbols that can help you out in many different ways, and Free Spins where all Wild Symbols get a multiplier to spice up your winnings. Let’s get a ticket to this train and see where it takes us.

We’ve ended up somewhere in a dry American landscape. The orange sky tells us that the sun has just set over the spikey mountains. The five reels stand in the middle of the screen, and above them is a display of three jackpots. To the left is a golden train with a lot of dark smoke coming from the chimney. To make a win, you need to land at least 3 matching symbols on one of the 20 paylines going left to right. All wins must start on the leftmost reel, and you can play the game on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.

The Wild Symbol is depicted by a bison, and it substitutes all symbols except the Bonus Scatter, Cash, Cashpot, Train, and Mystery Symbols.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Almighty Mustang Express White Bison?
You can win up to 3,500x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Almighty Mustang Express White Bison?
The features are Wild Symbol, Cash Prize Symbols, Train Symbols, Mystery Symbols, Cash Feature, Super Spin, Random Super Spin, Train Collector, Almighty, Mustang Express Feature, Bonus Spins, and Express Bet.
Wild Symbol
The Wild Symbol may appear anywhere on the reels and can be used in place of all the symbols except Bonus Scatter, Cash/Cashpot, Train, and Mystery Symbols.
Cash Prize Symbols
Cash Symbols, whose values range from 1x to 15x the bet, can appear anywhere on the reels. In the Almighty Mustang Express Feature, the values of Cash Symbols are between 5x and 50x the bet. Up to 3 Cashpot Symbols may also show up anywhere on the reels, and the value of the prize for these symbols is displayed when they land before being paid out in cash.
Train Symbols
There are two designs of the Train Symbol: the square one appearing in the Cash Feature, and the circular one, used in the Almighty Mustang Express Feature. At any given time, only one Train Symbol can be seen.
Mystery Symbols
Mystery Symbols can only be obtained during the Cash Feature and the Almighty Mustang Express Feature. If a Mystery Symbol comes up, it will show one of three things: a Cash/Cashpot Symbol, a Train Symbol, or a modifier like a Cash Multiplier or a Cash Adder.
For the Cash Multiplier, between one and four Cash/Cashpot Symbols are randomly chosen on the reels, and each of them is given the same multiplier, which ranges from 2x to 5x. When more than one Cash Multiplier modifier is present on the same spin, they are applied in turn.
In the Cash Feature, the Cash Adder shows a value ranging from 2 times to 5 times the stake, while in the Almighty Mustang Express Feature, it gives a value between 2x and 10x the stake. This amount is then added to between 1 and 4 of the existing Cash/Cashpot Symbols, and when there are several Cash Adder modifiers on the same spin, they are applied in turn.
A modifier cannot be shown when there are no Cash/Cashpot Symbols on the reels to modify it. After a modifier has been applied, the Mystery Symbol leaves the position vacant.
Cash Feature
The Cash Feature is set off in the main game or in the Bonus Spins either when six or more Cash/Cashpot Symbols appear in view or when five Cash/Cashpot Symbols show up together with one Train Symbol.
In the feature, only Cash/Cashpot, Train, Mystery, or Blank Symbols can appear. The Cash Feature begins with 3 spins, and each time a non-Blank Symbol comes up, it stays in place, and the spin counter goes back to 3.
The feature will last until 3 consecutive spins have passed without any new non-Blank Symbols landing, after which the total value of all the Cash/Cashpot Symbols that are visible is paid out. It may also come to an end when all the reel positions have been filled, triggering a Super Spin.
Super Spin
A Super Spin is set off when the final Blank reel position is reached during the Cash Feature and the Almighty Mustang Express Feature.
In a Super Spin, the game may give rise to one of the 3 Cashpot Symbols, a Mystery Symbol, a Train Symbol, or a Blank Symbol. It is not possible for a Mystery Symbol to reveal a regular Cash Symbol during a Super Spin.
When a Mystery Symbol reveals a modifier, the position it occupies becomes empty afterward. This, in turn, causes another Super Spin, which gives the feature another opportunity to add value to the reels.
Random Super Spin
A Random Super Spin may show up on any of the Blank reel positions while the Cash Feature or the Almighty Mustang Express Feature is in progress, with the exception of the last position, where the normal Super Spin occurs. Whatever symbol is displayed in this case will still result in only one Super Spin being awarded.
The Random Super Spin may give rise to one of the 3 Cashpot Symbols, a Mystery Symbol, a Train Symbol, a high-value Cash Symbol, or a Blank Symbol. During the Cash Feature, the lowest value that a Cash Symbol can have is 10 times the base bet. In the case of the Almighty Mustang Express Feature, the minimum value is 15x the bet.
Train Collector
The value of the Cash/Cashpot Symbol is added to the Almighty Mustang Express logo whenever it appears on the reels. In any given main game or Bonus Spin, the Train has the ability to add at least 2 Cash/Cashpot Symbols to the reels, or it can add 1 Train Symbol along with at least 1 Cash/Cashpot Symbol, placing it over the existing reels.
Wild Symbols can also be added during the main game or Bonus Spins, as well as during the main game when Bonus Symbols are added. However, only one of these effects can occur on a given spin.
After the main game or Bonus Spin has ended, the Train can also scatter Cash/Cashpot Symbols and a square Train Symbol across the reels, thus ensuring that the Almighty Mustang Express Feature is triggered.
Almighty Mustang Express Feature
The Almighty Mustang Express Feature starts if the Train Symbol is visible at the end of the Cash Feature. The feature has 10 active symbol positions, and only Cash/Cashpot Symbols, Mystery Symbols, the Train Symbol, or Blank Symbols can appear. It begins with 3 spins, and each new symbol that is not Blank stays in place and sets the counter back to 3.
The feature will last until 3 consecutive spins have passed without any new Non-Blank Symbols landing, at which point the total value of the Cash/Cashpot Symbols is paid out. The feature may also come to an end when all of the reel positions are filled, in which case a Super Spin is triggered on the last position.
If a Train Symbol is visible when the feature ends, the Almighty Mustang Express Feature can be retriggered. A maximum of 5 Almighty Mustang Express Features can be triggered during a single game round.
Bonus Spins
If you land 3 or more Bonus Scatter Symbols anywhere on the reels, you trigger the Bonus Spins feature. Landing 3, 4, or 5 symbols awards 6, 8, or 10 spins, respectively.
Each Wild that appears in view is awarded a random multiplier ranging from 2x to 5x the bet. When two or more Wilds show up on the same bet line, their multipliers are summed together before being used on the win for that line. It is also possible for Wilds to appear as part of stacks of three symbols during the feature.
When the Cash Feature is activated during the Bonus Spins, it is played immediately after the spin that caused the activation. After the Cash Feature and any subsequent Almighty Mustang Express Features have been carried out, the game goes back to the Bonus Spins, and any spins that remain are still available.
Express Bet
You can activate the Express Bet at any time while the main game is taking place. The extra cost is 0.5x the base bet, and it raises the probability of the Cash Feature being triggered.
Final Thoughts on Almighty Mustang Express White Bison
Almighty Mustang Express White Bison takes us on a journey once again aboard the golden train through the American wilderness, but sadly, this time it doesn't quite inspire any exclamation. The game includes a number of features such as the Cash Feature, Mystery Symbols, the Train Collector, the Almighty Mustang Express Feature, and Bonus Spins, which have Wild multipliers. There is definitely a lot going on behind the scenes, and the Cash Features can deliver some exciting moments as the reels fill up.
The issue is that the entire package seems rather familiar. Since Blueprint Gaming has already made a number of slots with the same mechanics, themes, and bonus features, the Almighty Mustang Express White Bison doesn't really manage to distinguish itself from the rest. It doesn't have the feel of a new adventure so much as that of getting on a train we've taken many times already. Although the Wild multipliers during the Bonus Spins are helpful, they aren't sufficient to make the game particularly memorable.
The fact that the maximum win is 3,500x the bet also seems rather unimpressive when compared to the kinds of maximum wins that many modern slots are capable of offering. It’s like arriving at the station with the suitcase only half packed. For other train-themed games, have a look at Posh Monkey Studios’ 1st Class Express Big Train Bonus or Relax Gaming’s classic Money Train, which have several prequels.
Almighty Mustang Express White Bison from Blueprint Gaming is highly feature-rich but still feels more like a boring commuter train than an exciting adventure.
