Gift Rush: the slot and what you need to know at Fastpay Casino
BGaming's festive 3-reel slot uses a Pick Bonus to award prizes. It pays on 5 fixed paylines across a 3x3 grid with an RTP of 96.07% and medium volatility.
Gift Rush: a Christmas slot on a 3x3 grid
What symbols and paylines shape each spin. Gift Rush brings a festive theme to a compact 3x3 grid, released in late 2022 by BGaming. Five fixed paylines run across the three rows and both diagonals, evaluating left to right. Red 7s, gold stars, bells, Santa hats, candy canes and gingerbread men fill the reels. The slot pairs a base game with a Pick Bonus round, delivering a mix of smaller and larger wins across its medium volatility range.
Who finds the right fit in Gift Rush. Gift Rush suits players comfortable with bets from NZ$0.10 to NZ$300, though most sessions start lower. Its medium volatility keeps the win frequency balanced: expect a steady flow of payouts without long dry spells. The Christmas theme and straightforward bonus entry appeal to players who prefer clarity over complexity. Those seeking frequent small wins or chasing extreme maximum payouts may find other slots better matched.
Base game leads to bonus picks and bigger wins. Three Bonus symbols landing on reels one, two and three trigger the Choose your prize bonus round, where the game shifts to picking rewards. This feature shapes every round because the bonus controls your session ceiling: the maximum published bonus-round win reaches x559 of your bet. In the base game, wins come only from standard payline combinations, so the bonus round is where Gift Rush delivers its larger payouts.

Before your bonus: the base game round
Set your bet and limits before you start, then spin the 3x3 grid across five fixed paylines.
Base game and bonus: how they appear
How do you unlock the bonus round?
Pick your gift prize. Three bonus symbols landing on reels one, two and three in a single spin trigger this mode. You then choose from hidden gifts across the grid to reveal your prize. The maximum prize published for this round is 559 times your bet.
Can you skip ahead to the bonus? After you purchase this feature, your next spin is guaranteed to trigger the bonus game. The cost is 80 times your bet; at a NZ$10 stake, this costs NZ$800 to activate the bonus round on your following spin.
Base game: how paylines work. The grid runs five fixed paylines across three reels and three rows, using three horizontal lines plus two diagonal paths. Winning combinations pay left to right, and multiple paylines can win on the same spin. All winning paylines are added together into your total.

Know these limits before you spin
Gift Rush holds its bonus timing close. The bonus round arrives at random. You might see three BONUS symbols on your first spin or your hundredth. The 96.07% RTP applies whether the bonus comes soon or never in your session.
Gift Rush results are never certain. One session is never like another. Randomness means your next spin might bring a win or a loss, whatever the RTP says. Over time and across all players, the RTP holds true; in any single session, it does not shape what you see.
Gift Rush's ceiling rarely shows up. The maximum win of x559 your bet is a ceiling almost never reached. You might play many sessions without coming close to it. This figure shows what is possible, not what is probable.

Gift Rush returns 96.07 per cent of every 100 staked

Keep Gift Rush in its place
Before you begin. Decide how much you can afford to spend on Gift Rush before your session starts. Stick to that amount and treat any losses as the cost of entertainment.
Stopping point in mind. Agree with yourself in advance when you'll stop playing, whether you're ahead or behind. A win is a good moment to step away and enjoy what you've landed.
Can account limits help you? Use your account's deposit and loss limits to enforce the boundaries you've set. These tools keep your spending within the range you choose.
Take a break when needed. If Gift Rush stops being fun or you find yourself playing longer than you meant to, pause or self-exclude. The game will be there later, but your wellbeing comes first.
