Goat Rush

Goat Rush is a slot game from Swedish company Fantasma Games. It is one of thirty titles in this provider's reel-spinning arsenal and ranks as the brand’s most popular online gaming product.
As the name suggests, the theme here is everyone's favourite species of domesticated antelope, with Fantasma’s homeland acting as the backdrop for high-end gambling action powered by re-spins, dropping/walking wilds, a Mystery Wild feature, a bonus round, and multipliers. The most you can expect to win on this twenty-payline title is a prize of 3,344x. And the Goat Rush slot machine likes to focus on supplying sizeable wins every now and again rather than giving away steady streams of modest ones

Fantasma Games ensured this release would be one of their and the industry’s most diverse ones by stacking it with various bonus features. We break them down here.

When a payline gets filled in this game with an adequate amount of matching tokens, then re-spins activate. These wins get totalled in a meter, and the re-spins go on until no new wager line win happens. The number accumulated in the Goat Rush meter gets multiplied by a Gold Multiplier.

A train pulls in following every reel rotation in Goat Rush, carrying gold carts on top of the second, third, fourth, and fifth reels. These can contain a bank or wild tokens. When a win occurs, the positions that comprise it get marked, and wilds from the carts above drop to the lowest marked ones on a re-spin.

The walking wilds feature is nothing more than this slot moving its substitution symbols one step to the left at the beginning of a re-spin, and each one that disappears by exiting via the leftmost reel boosts the Gold Multiplier by one.

It starts at x1 and grows when wilds walk off the game’s 5x3 layout. It has multiplier levels attached of up to x10 in the base game and x50 in the bonus round.

It can trigger at any spin, base, or bonus one. The base game can only implement the Mystery Pattern mode, while the bonus one can incorporate the Mystery Wilds also. The first places a pattern of six positions, with a wild symbol on one, plus regular pay ones on the remaining five. And in the latter mode, up to three wilds can land on the reels.

Landing ten bonus tokens will give ten complimentary reel rotations in Goat Rush.

Goat Rush popped up online at the end of January 2023, and it takes a novel approach to the mining sub-genre by implementing a clever play on words and a Nordic motif. The backdrop here is a mountainоus landscape, displayed using stunning painterly visuals. The soundtrack is a piece of banjo music, which we are pretty sure does not originate from Scandinavia.

Other Fantasma slots worthy of everyone’s attention are Riviera Star and Fortune Llama.

For those who love gold mining spinners, top-end titles from this category to check out are Microgaming’s Gold Collector and Misery Mining from Nolimit City.

The button configuration in Goat Rush is super intuitive and par the course for an online slot. You begin a round by clicking the circular arrow on the right of the reel grid, but before doing so, you must select a bet size via the chip stack icon below it. The three-bar button in the bottom right corner activates the settings page, and there is an info bar at the bottom displaying balance, bet, and win info.
The lowest wager you can make on this game is £0.2, and the highest is £60.
