• Minimum bets start at €0.25 and maximum bets are €125.00.
• You win by matching symbols from left to right on any of the 25 paylines.

Gold Rush Features and rules

Gold Rush is a high-volatility, 5x3 reel (5-reel, 3-row layout) slot with 25 fixed paylines and a 96.5% RTP. Its key features and rules include:

• Objective: Match symbols from left to right; with the Gold Miner being the highest-paying symbol.
• Wilds & Scatters: Dynamite symbols substitute for others, while Mine Tunnels on reels 2, 3, and 4 activate 10 Free Spins.
• Progressive Level System: Collect Golden Nuggets during bonus rounds to level up.
• Level Bonuses: Higher levels add up to 29 extra Miner symbols to the reels, boosting win potential.
• Retriggers: Each Scatter landed during free spins awards two extra spins.
• Max Win: Players can win up to 2,500x their total stake.

Gold Rush bonus rounds

The main bonus feature is the Progressive Free Spins round. You begin with 10 free spins, and what makes it special is a level-up system where you collect Golden Nuggets.

• Level 1 (0 to 4 points): You get seven extra Prospector symbols on the reels.
• Level 2 (5 to 9 points): This level gives you 16 extra Prospector symbols.
• Level 3 (10 to 14 points): You now have 21 extra Prospector symbols on the reels.
• Level 4 (15 or more points): This is the top level, with 29 extra Prospector symbols, giving you a much better chance for a big win.

Each Scatter symbol that appears during this round gives you 2 more free spins, helping you play longer and reach higher levels.

Gold Rush Symbols, Wilds, and Scatters

Gold Rush’s symbols are all inspired by the gold rush and fit the mining theme:

• The highest-paying symbol is the Jolly Prospector. Other valuable symbols include a cart of gold, a donkey, a gas lantern, and a pickaxe.
• Lower-value symbols are the standard card royals: 10, J, Q, K, and A.
• The Wild symbol is a stack of dynamite. It can stand in for any symbol except the Scatter to help create winning combinations.
• The Scatter symbol is a mining tunnel and appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4. If you land three of them, you trigger the main bonus feature.

How to Win on the Gold Rush Slot

There isn’t a guaranteed way to win because of the Random Number Generator (RNG) feature. Instead, many players strategise by managing their bankroll carefully in high-volatility games like this, aiming to last through slow periods with lower stakes and trigger the progressive bonus, where the biggest wins happen with larger bets.
