How Gold Rush Express plays
Wins pay across the 20 lines, with a wild for the regular pay symbols but not the special ones. The identity comes from the Rush Express collection, where reels 1 to 4 and reel 5 do different jobs:
- Gold nuggets: Rush Express symbols carrying cash prizes.
- Trains: red, purple, blue and green carriages with larger prizes; the last train can reveal a multiplier or a jackpot.
- Bell: lands on reel 5 and collects every Rush Express value on screen as shown.
- Gold Train: also lands on reel 5, collects the values and applies a random multiplier of up to 10x to the total.
There are four fixed jackpots worth 20x, 50x, 500x and 5,000x stake.
Free spins and the Pick Feature
Three dynamite scatters award 10 free spins, on reels where Rush Express symbols turn up more often, giving the Bell and Gold Train more to collect. The round cannot be retriggered.
The Pick Feature is a separate base-game extra. At the end of a spin a gold nugget can start it at random, and you then pick from a board until three matching jackpot symbols appear, winning that jackpot. It is not available in free spins.
