About Bull Rush
Bull Rush is a Konami pokie made for land-based casino floors, and cabinets running it still stand in venue gaming rooms. Strong demand from players and the wider move of gambling onto the internet led Konami to release an online version. That build shows the Bull Blitz and Roses & Riches logos on screen, which is worth knowing when you search a casino lobby.
Three or more Rose scatters award 5 Free Games, where a full-length flamenco dancer Wild covers whole reels. Land 6+ Bulls anywhere on the grid and Bull Blitz starts: a hold-and-respin round with 3 Bonus Games, coin prizes and jackpots.
Bull Rush Theme & Visuals
The reels stand in front of a sunset sky that fades from yellow, with the sun in the top left, to crimson on the right. Hillside coastal towns and a pink sea frame the grid, with a couple standing by the water on the left. A row of large red roses runs beneath the reels.
The jackpot bar above the grid holds Grand and Mega on the left and Maxi, Major and Mini on the right. The Roses & Riches logo sits in the centre.
The Mariachi wears a blue sombrero and holds a guitar with a rose between his teeth. The Wild is a portrait of a flamenco dancer with a red fan, and Bulls arrive as golden horned shields that land in stacks.
Bull Blitz Feature
6 or more Bulls in any positions trigger the Bull Blitz Feature, a hold-and-respin round. Every position without a Bull becomes its own spinning reel, and the feature awards 3 Bonus Games. Only Bulls, Silver Coins and Gold Coins can land on those reels.
- At the start, each Bull flips into a Silver Coin that reveals the Mega Jackpot, Maxi Bonus, Major Bonus, Mini Bonus or a credit prize.
- Silver and Gold Coins stay held through every Bonus Game. Every Bonus Game that lands a Bull pays all Gold Coins again, and the counter goes back to 3.
- At the end of each Bonus Game, new Bulls turn Silver Coins into Gold Coins. The Bulls then become Silver Coins with prizes of their own, unless all 15 positions are already filled.
- A revealed Mega Jackpot pays at once, and the lowest credit prize takes its place on the coin.
- If no new Bull lands during the whole feature, the Silver Coin prizes from the trigger spin turn into Gold Coins and pay when the feature ends.
- The feature ends when the Bonus Games run out or all 15 positions hold Bulls, Silver Coins or Gold Coins. A full grid is the route to the Grand Jackpot.
Bull Blitz cannot be retriggered inside itself, and one feature can award no more than 5 Maxi Bonuses at a time. The stake stays at the level of the spin that triggered it.
X-Tra Hit Feature
X-TRA HIT symbols come from Bulls during the Bonus Games. When 2 or more Bulls hit the screen, one turns into a Silver Coin, one becomes an X-TRA HIT symbol and any others stay held. Each X-TRA HIT that appears triggers one X-Tra Hit Feature, so a single Bonus Game can award several.
No reels spin during X-Tra Hit, and only Silver and Gold Coins are active. Each X-TRA HIT symbol pays every prize on the Gold Coins, and any extra Bulls start a fresh X-Tra Hit Feature.
At the end, the X-TRA HIT symbol turns into a Silver Coin, provided the 15 positions are not yet full. That coin reveals the Mega Jackpot, Maxi, Major, Mini or a credit prize. The stake matches the triggering spin.
Bull Rush Jackpots and Bonus Prizes
The Grand Jackpot is a progressive meter that pays when all 15 positions are filled at the end of a Bonus Game. It can also land at random at the end of any bought game. The Mega Jackpot is a second progressive meter, revealed on Silver Coins in Bull Blitz and X-Tra Hit.
Maxi, Major and Mini are fixed at 10,000, 5,000 and 1,000 credits, and the value of every tier grows with the denomination. Coin credit prizes are 800, 500, 200, 100, 90, 75, 50 or 40 times the credits bet per line. At the A$0.50 minimum stake they range from A$8 down to A$0.40.
| DENOM | Bet range (1–10 credits per line, 50 lines) | Maxi Bonus | Major Bonus | Mini Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A$0.01 | A$0.50–A$5.00 | A$100 | A$50 | A$10 |
| A$0.02 | A$1.00–A$10.00 | A$200 | A$100 | A$20 |
| A$0.05 | A$2.50–A$25.00 | A$500 | A$250 | A$50 |
| A$0.10 | A$5.00–A$50.00 | A$1,000 | A$500 | A$100 |
| A$0.25 | A$12.50–A$125.00 | A$2,500 | A$1,250 | A$250 |
| A$1.00 | A$50.00–A$500.00 | A$10,000 | A$5,000 | A$1,000 |
Free Game Feature
Any 3 or more Rose scatters in the base game award 5 Free Games at the stake and line count of the trigger spin. Free Games run on a different reel set where the scatter does not appear, and the feature cannot be retriggered. Bull Blitz can still start during them.
Single and Double Rose Scatters
A Double Rose on reel 4 plus a single Rose on reel 2 or 3 counts as 3 scatters and opens Free Games.
Without a Double Rose, the trigger needs a single Rose on each of reels 2, 3 and 4.
Tall Dancer Wild Patterns
In Free Games, the full-length flamenco dancer lands only on reels 2 to 5 and covers at least 2 whole reels on every spin. The game banner promises up to 4 of these tall Wilds per spin. For line wins she counts as a regular Wild.
- Reels 2 and 4
- Reels 3 and 4
- Reels 4 and 5
- Reels 2, 3 and 4
- Reels 3, 4 and 5
- Reels 2, 3, 4 and 5
Reel 4 is part of all six patterns.
Symbols in the Bull Rush Slot
In the Bull Rush slot, line wins pay on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, and only the highest win on each line counts. All wins are added together, and amounts assume an A$1.00 spin.
| Symbol | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | A$4.00 | A$1.00 | A$0.20 | A$0.04 |

The game prices its paytable on a 50-credit bet, which is 1 credit per line; at A$0.02 that is an A$1.00 spin.
Bull Rush RTP & Volatility
Online, Bull Rush returns 96% to player, and its volatility is High.
- The game package holds RTP settings of 88, 90, 92, 94 and 96%, and each operator picks one. Ask the casino's support which version it runs before you deposit.
- Konami sets the cabinet and the online release of the same title to different returns, so the 96% figure applies to online play.
- Five Mariachi pay A$4.00 on an A$1.00 spin; at the same stake the Maxi Bonus is worth A$200.

Bull Rush on the Casino Floor and Online
The Bull Rush pokie was designed for land-based casino cabinets, and that format is still on gaming floors today. For an Australian player, the usual first encounter is the pokie room of a club, pub or casino.
Player demand and the broader shift of gambling online led to an online release. Konami's core business is cabinets and SYNKROS casino systems, so the studio has a wider presence on venue floors than in online lobbies. Whether a particular title reaches an online lobby depends on the market, which is why this one can take some searching.
The online build picks up where it left off after a dropout. If Telstra or Optus 4G cuts out on the train in the middle of Bull Blitz, the round finishes once you reconnect. AUTO PLAY runs a series of spins without a tap on SPIN each time.
Bull Rush Online for Australian Players
Finding Bull Rush online takes more effort than spotting the cabinet in a pokie room. The online build carries other logos, the series has titles with similar names, and few online lobbies stock Konami games.
Finding the Right Game in the Lobby
If a lobby search for Bull Rush comes back empty, try Bull Blitz or Roses & Riches, the two logos the online build shows. Filtering by provider Konami shortens the list further.
- This game has 50 lines, Rose and Double Rose scatters, a flamenco dancer Wild, a Mariachi among its symbols and 5 Free Games.
- Bull Rush Stampede is a separate title with 30 lines, 6 Free Games and an expanding Empress Wild.
- Bull Rush Maximus Money also has 50 lines. Tell it apart by the symbols: the Rose scatters and the flamenco dancer belong to this game.
Online Pokies and Australian Law
Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, online casinos, including online pokies, may not be offered to people in Australia. The law targets operators, ACMA blocks illegal offshore sites, and an offshore casino gives you no Australian consumer protection. Before you open an account at a Bull Rush casino, check who licenses the operator and how cash-outs work.
Paying and Cashing Out in A$
An AUD account removes currency conversion from every deposit and withdrawal. Choose your cash-out method before you deposit, since some methods only work one way.
| Method | Type | Deposits | Withdrawals |
|---|---|---|---|
| PayID | Bank transfer between Australian accounts | Usually instant | Where the casino offers PayID cash-outs; timing set by the casino |
| Visa / Mastercard debit | Card | Usually instant | Casino-dependent |
| Neosurf | Prepaid voucher bought with cash | Instant | Usually deposit-only – plan another method for cash-outs |
| Bitcoin | Cryptocurrency | After network confirmation | Casino-dependent; value moves with the coin price |
Help and Limits
Deposit limits, time limits and self-exclusion sit in the casino account settings and can be switched on before the first deposit.
Gambling Help Online takes calls on 1800 858 858, free and around the clock. BetStop, the national self-exclusion register, covers licensed Australian wagering operators. Offshore casinos sit outside it, so self-exclusion there goes through your casino account.
Bull Rush Stakes: DENOM and Bet per Line
DENOM runs from A$0.01 to A$1.00 and sets the value of the Maxi, Major, Mini and both jackpot meters. BET PER LINE adds 1 to 10 credits on each of the 50 fixed lines.
An A$5.00 spin can come from 10 credits per line at A$0.01 or from 1 credit per line at A$0.10.
- 10 credits per line at A$0.01: Maxi worth A$100, an 800 credit prize worth A$80.
- 1 credit per line at A$0.10: Maxi worth A$1,000, an 800 credit prize worth A$80.
Same A$5.00 spin, ten times the Maxi. Per the rules, the chance of winning the jackpots and bonuses changes with the credits bet. Bull Blitz also uses different reels for different wagers.
| Stake per spin | Spins on A$100 | Spins on A$200 |
|---|---|---|
| A$0.50 | 200 | 400 |
| A$1.00 | 100 | 200 |
| A$2.50 | 40 | 80 |
| A$5.00 | 20 | 40 |
MAX BET jumps to the top stake of the current denomination: A$5.00 at A$0.01, but A$500 at A$1.00. Settle DENOM and credits before the session and check the panel total before you press SPIN.

FAQ
The online build shows the Bull Blitz and Roses & Riches logos, so search for those names too and filter by provider Konami. You have the right game if it shows 50 lines, Rose scatters and a flamenco dancer Wild.
The online version runs at 96% RTP. Its package holds settings from 88% to 96%, and the operator chooses one. Konami configures the venue cabinet separately, so its return can differ.
Every Gold Coin on the grid pays its prize, and the Bonus Games counter returns to 3. At the end of that Bonus Game, the new Bull turns Silver Coins gold and becomes a Silver Coin with its own prize.
The Maxi Bonus is 10,000 credits, so its A$ value follows the denomination. It pays A$100 at A$0.01 and rises to A$10,000 at A$1.00.
Yes. Besides the full-grid award at the end of a Bonus Game, the Grand Jackpot can land at random at the end of any bought game.
No. Rose scatters do not appear during the 5 Free Games, and the feature cannot restart inside itself. Bull Blitz can still trigger while they run.
The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 bars operators from offering online casino games to people in Australia, and ACMA blocks illegal offshore sites. With any offshore casino, check who licenses it and how withdrawals work before depositing. Gambling Help Online is on 1800 858 858 if play stops feeling in control.
The game resumes from the point where it stopped once the connection returns, including a Bull Blitz round in progress.
