Rush for Gold uses a standard 5x3 layout with 20 paylines to form winning combinations. Low value symbols consist of playing cards, while high value icons include various mining treasures and a dog. Miners act as wild symbols to substitute for regular icons, appearing only on the fifth reel during base play.

Triggering the free spins mode requires landing specific multi, rise, or extra symbols. This bonus round activates three features that can expand the grid, add money symbols, and increase wild multipliers.
