Mining Rush (Pragmatic Play) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

Deja Vu, when reviewing online slots, is quite common, especially with so many clones wrapped up in a different theme. Pragmatic Play’s Mining Rush is a perfect example, as its theme, tumble feature, and cluster pays reel mechanic are almost a carbon copy of the software provider’s Gem Elevator online slot title. Like Gem Elevator, Mining Rush is an entertaining cluster pays slot set deep in the quarries of a Gemstone Mountain set on 7×7 reels with a 10,000x max win and a 96.56% RTP with high variance gameplay.

There is a buy bonus option to trigger free spins, or you can spin the reels and wait for 3 to 7 scatters. The more you land, the higher the number of free spins. Also, whether combining cluster combinations in the base game or the free spins bonus, a tumble feature gives you cascades for a shot at multiple wins for the price of one spin. Plus, look out for the nuggets feature, which gives you up to 1,000x multipliers.

Mining Rush has a 7×7 grid to land cluster win combinations into various shapes and sizes. Five up to 49+ symbols clustered on adjacent positions trigger a multiplier win against your spin bet. To start spinning the reels, Mining Rush has a min-max bet from €0.20 – €240.00 per spin.

Tumbling Reels

Each time you land a cluster of symbols that triggers a payout, all winning symbols drop off the reels, and new symbols drop in. If this creates a new cluster combination, tumbles will continue with the feature ending when no new cluster wins roll in.

Nuggets Feature

Roll in two bonus symbols anywhere in view at the same time as a winning cluster for the Nuggets Feature to activate, which entails the bonus symbols shapeshifting into nugget symbols. When the reels cascade via tumbles, each Nugget on the screen has a chance to pay a prize, and each time it pays a multiplier of your spin bet, that nugget will receive one point. After collecting 3 points, the Nugget goes up to the next level to a maximum of level 4.

• Level 1 Bronze Nuggets: 1x to 5x
• Level 2 Silver Nuggets: 6x to 20x
• Level 3 Gold Nuggets: 25x to 100x
• Level 4 Diamond Nuggets: 200x to 1000x

Free Spins

To trigger 8, 10, 12, 15, or 20 free spins, the bonus symbol needs to land 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 times or more anywhere on the reels, respectively. All bonus symbols triggering free spins will convert into nuggets, with each starting at a random level. There is a high chance some will reach level 4, as all nuggets will remain sticky through the free spins round. Moreover, every new bonus symbol that drops onto the reels will also turn into a nugget and remain sticky with a random level assigned, while you will also receive an additional 2 free spins.

Bonus Buy

To buy free spins, you’ll need to pay 100x for the bet, and the reels will spin in 3 or more bonus symbols.
