Derby Rush review
Derby Rush is built to feel like a race that unfolds slowly. Three tiers of Horse symbols carry values before anything pays, Golden Bonus symbols lead to free spins, and in the free spins Wilds sweep up every Horse value on the screen. BGaming's 2026 slot has 20 paylines, a Medium rating and a 97.2% RTP, and offers Chance x2 and a three-tier Buy Bonus for players who want a different pace.
Horses with values
Horse symbols come in three tiers. Blue horses carry x0.5 to x0.75 of the bet, Purple horses x1 to x1.5 and Red horses x2.5 to x5. Landing three or more pays their total, so the colour of the horse sets how much a combination is worth.
A spin counter on the right side of the board tracks the total number of spins played. It is a display feature, with no effect on payouts that the studio mentions.
Free spins and the Wild collector
Golden Bonus symbols trigger the Free Spins, and the studio notes that multipliers climb higher than usual once they begin. The text we have does not state how many Golden Bonus symbols are needed or how many spins are awarded.
What changes inside the round is the job of the Wild. When a Wild lands, it collects all the visible Horse values and turns them into direct payouts. The round can also extend itself.
Wild collection
In the free spins, Wilds gather every Horse value on screen and convert it into a payout. With three tiers of horse worth up to x5 of the bet each, a screen full of Red horses is worth more than one full of Blue ones when the Wild arrives.
Retrigger and multipliers
Every fourth winning Wild retriggers the round. The retrigger adds spins and boosts the multipliers, which can rise as far as x100.
Chance x2 and the Buy Bonus options
Chance x2 can be bought to improve the odds of reaching Free Spins. It slightly increases the bet and turns off the Buy Bonus. Buy Bonus runs the other way: the button shows a price that changes with the bet, and it is deactivated while Chance x2 is in use.
Super, Mega and Ultra Bonus
Three Buy Bonus rounds are on offer. Super Bonus has multipliers up to x10, Mega Bonus up to x25 and Ultra Bonus up to x100. The price shown on the button adjusts automatically whenever the bet is changed.
Maths and the max win question
Derby Rush has one RTP on record, 97.2%, so the house edge is 2.8% and $1,000 wagered costs $28 on average. A session of 100 spins costs $0.56 at $0.20, $2.80 at $1 and $14 at $5.
Our catalogue does not publish a max win. The studio's details panel lists a max multiplier of x5000 and a max win of €250,000, and we pass those on as BGaming's figures. The same panel gives a hit rate of 2.41 and an FS rate of 176.80 without units, so we do not interpret them.
Medium games near 97%
Loki Loot and Wild Million both list 97.2%, the same as Derby Rush, and Reel of Ra 97.02%. Fruit Million Respin shows 97%, while 3 Lucky Monkeys Hold and Win and Piggy Bank Hold and Win show 96.98%. All are rated Medium.
Pros
- A 97.2% RTP with a 2.8% house edge
- Wilds collect all visible Horse values in the free spins
- Three Buy Bonus tiers with multipliers up to x10, x25 and x100
- Free official demo available
Cons
- No max win in the catalogue; the x5000 figure comes only from the studio
- The studio text does not say how many Golden Bonus symbols trigger the free spins
Verdict
Derby Rush is a Medium slot with a 97.2% RTP and a clear idea: horse values build up on the board, then Wilds in the free spins cash them in. Multipliers rise to x100 through retriggers, and Chance x2 and Buy Bonus add paid routes. The house edge is 2.8%. The max win is only the studio's own figure, so treat it with care, and try the free demo before paying for anything extra.
