Read Gift Rush as a Christmas video slot
3x3 grid, five fixed paylines, one Christmas theme. Gift Rush is a video slot built on eight symbols, from the red 7 to the mitten with a B. Three matching symbols on a payline are the fewest that pay, and the five lines are the three rows and two diagonals, read from left to right. When more than one line pays on a spin, the wins add up into the total win shown.
Two named features set it apart from other BGaming slots: Pick Bonus and Scatter. Pick Bonus is the Choose your prize round, opened when three BONUS symbols land on reels one, two and three in the same spin. The base game runs alongside it, so every spin still plays out on the five lines.

Gift Rush bonus round
Bonus Game, Buy Bonus and base spins
It settles how the bonus starts and what the buy option does for you.
Buy Bonus guarantees the next spin
80x your bet buys the Buy Bonus option, and the next spin after purchase guarantees the Bonus Game triggers. So the round does not wait for 3 BONUS symbols to land first.
Before any spinGuaranteed Bonus Game
Read paylines left to right
5 fixed paylines run across the 3x3 grid, 3 horizontal rows and 2 diagonals, and they are evaluated left to right. Several lines can pay on the same spin, and their wins are summed into Total win.

x559 the bet is the highest bonus-round win published for Gift Rush, and it is a ceiling reached very rarely. No session can be planned around it, because nobody knows in advance whether it will come.
Four questions answered
Volatility, feature cost and limits
The short answers on buying the bonus, volatility, demo play and the maximum win.
Can I buy the Gift Rush bonus and what does it cost?
Gift Rush has a Buy Bonus option. It costs A$80 at the A$1 example bet, which is 80 times the bet. The next spin after purchase makes the Bonus Game trigger, so you pay for the round rather than waiting for three BONUS symbols.
How volatile is Gift Rush, low or high?
The volatility of Gift Rush is medium. That sits between low and high, so wins come at a middle pace with swings of varying size. Volatility describes the spread of results and says nothing about when a bonus will land.
Can I try Gift Rush in demo mode first?
The grid is 3x3 with five fixed paylines, and the Bonus Game needs three BONUS symbols on reels 1, 2 and 3 in the same spin. Read the rules here before any real-money spin.
What is the Gift Rush maximum win in AUD?
The published maximum win is x559 of the bet. At the A$1 example bet that comes to A$559. At the A$300 top bet it reaches A$167,700. No session can be predicted to reach it.
Stop when the fun turns into chasing
Players must be 18 or older. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858. To self-exclude, use BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Keep the budget intact
Set the budget before you start and keep to it. Gift Rush starts at A$0.10 a bet, so the stake can fit the budget.
Gift Rush stop rule
Decide when you stop before the first spin. A win is a reason to stop too, not to raise the stake.
Where are my loss limits?
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before the first session. A loss limit caps what a bad run can take, however many spins it takes.
Play that stays fun
Take a break when Gift Rush stops being fun, or when you catch yourself chasing losses. If breaks do not help, self-exclude through BetStop.
