Bull Rush Overview
Bull Rush is a Konami pokie made for land-based casino floors, and it still runs there on cabinets. The online release, titled Bull Blitz: Roses & Riches in-game, runs 50 fixed lines on a 5×3 grid with a 96% RTP and High volatility. Bets run from A$0.50 to A$30,000, and 6+ Bull symbols start Bull Blitz with 3 Bonus Games that reset on every new Bull.

Flamenco Theme & Visuals
A sunset sky fades from yellow to crimson over the reels, and a carpet of red roses runs beneath them. Under the sky lie a coastal town on the hills, the sea and the silhouette of a couple by the water. The online logo comes in two plaques: Bull Blitz with two golden bulls and Roses & Riches framed in roses.
The Mariachi wears a sombrero, holds a rose in his teeth and carries a guitar on his back. The other premiums are two champagne glasses with roses, a purple guitar with flowers, a blue fan and castanets. The Wild is a portrait of a flamenco dancer with a red fan.
The Bull appears as a golden shield with horns, and the Gold Coin shows two bulls with stars. Gems decorate the card royals. The A carries a green heart and the K a crown, with an orange crystal by the Q and a blue diamond by the J.
Roses, Wilds & Free Games
Any 3 or more Rose scatters in the base game award 5 Free Games.
Rose and Double Rose Triggers
The Rose lands only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and pays in any position. The Double Rose appears only on reel 4 and counts as 2 Roses. A Rose on reel 2 or 3 plus a Double Rose on reel 4 already makes 3 scatters.
Any 3 or 4 Roses pay 2, and the game multiplies that scatter win by the number of lines played. The Flamenco Dancer Wild does not substitute for Rose, Double Rose or Bull.
Flamenco Dancer Wild Reels
Free Games use different reels from the base game. A full-body Flamenco Dancer appears only on reels 2–5 and covers whole reels on at least 2 reels in every free game. For line wins it counts as the regular Wild.
Fully covered reels come in six combinations, and reel 4 is part of every one:
- 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
Stake and lines stay the same as on the triggering spin. The Free Game Feature cannot be retriggered and no scatters land during it, though the Bull Blitz Feature can still start.
Bull Blitz Feature
6+ Bull symbols anywhere on the grid trigger the Bull Blitz Feature. Every position without a Bull becomes its own spinning reel, the Bulls stay in place, and 3 Bonus Games are awarded. Only Bull, Silver Coin and Gold Coin symbols are active on these reels.
At the start, each Bull turns into a Silver Coin that reveals a Mega Jackpot, Maxi Bonus, Major Bonus, Mini Bonus or credit prize. Silver and Gold Coins stay held through every Bonus Game. If at least 1 Bull lands, the game pays the total on all Gold Coins and the Bonus Games counter resets to 3.
At the end of each Bonus Game, extra Bulls turn Silver Coins into Gold Coins. Those Bulls then become Silver Coins with their own prizes, unless all 15 positions are filled. A Mega Jackpot pays immediately and is replaced by the lowest credit prize.
If no new Bulls arrive at all, the Silver Coin prizes from the trigger spin become Gold Coins and pay when the feature ends. The round stops when the Bonus Games run out or all 15 positions are taken. The Grand Jackpot pays when all 15 positions hold Bulls, Silver Coins or Gold Coins at the end of a Bonus Game.
The Grand Jackpot can also be awarded at random at the end of any paid spin. Bull Blitz cannot retrigger inside itself, and up to 5 Maxi Bonus prizes can be awarded at one time. The stake matches the triggering spin, and every jackpot meter and coin prize scales with bet per line.
| Prize | Rule | At A$0.50 total bet (A$0.01 per line) |
|---|---|---|
| Grand Jackpot | Meter scales with bet per line; 15/15 positions or random at end of a paid game | – |
| Mega Jackpot | Meter scales with bet per line; paid instantly | – |
| Maxi Bonus | 10,000 × bet per line | 10,000 × A$0.01 = A$100 |
| Major Bonus | 5,000 × bet per line | 5,000 × A$0.01 = A$50 |
| Mini Bonus | 1,000 × bet per line | 1,000 × A$0.01 = A$10 |
| Credit prizes | 800, 500, 200, 100, 90, 75, 50 or 40 × bet per line | A$8 / A$5 / A$2 / A$1 / A$0.90 / A$0.75 / A$0.50 / A$0.40 |
X-Tra Hit Feature
When 2 or more Bulls are on screen during Bull Blitz, 1 Bull becomes a Silver Coin and 1 becomes an X-TRA HIT symbol. Any remaining Bulls are held.
Each X-TRA HIT that appears during the Bonus Games triggers one X-Tra Hit Feature, and a single Bonus Game can award several. Any additional Bulls trigger a new X-Tra Hit Feature. During it no reels are spun and only Silver and Gold Coins are active.
Each X-TRA HIT pays all prizes on the Gold Coins. The X-TRA HIT then becomes a Silver Coin with a Mega Jackpot, Maxi, Major, Mini or credit prize, unless all 15 positions are filled. Prizes and stake match Bull Blitz.
Symbols in Bull Rush
Line wins in the Bull Rush slot pay left to right on adjacent reels. Only the highest win per line is paid, and all wins are added.
Mariachi is the only symbol that pays for 2 of a kind. Amounts are at an A$0.50 stake, which the game counts as 50 credits at an A$0.01 denomination.
| Symbol | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | A$2.00 | A$0.50 | A$0.10 | A$0.02 |

Silver Coin, Gold Coin and X-TRA HIT symbols pay only inside Bull Blitz and X-Tra Hit, where they carry jackpot, bonus or credit prizes.
Bull Rush RTP & Volatility
The 96% RTP belongs to the online build and is its top setting. The game package also holds 88, 90, 92 and 94% versions, and the operator picks which one runs.
- Ask casino support or check the casino's information pages for the RTP before you deposit.
- Konami sets its cabinets and online versions to different returns.
- Volatility is High. Most of the value sits in Bull Blitz, which needs 6+ Bull symbols, and in the jackpots. Base-game lines pay modestly: the top Mariachi line returns 200 credits for 5 on a 50-credit bet.
- Budget in A$: 200 spins cost A$100 at A$0.50 and A$200 at A$1. MAX BET stakes A$30,000 on one spin with a single press, and it shares a panel with SPIN, with the BET PER LINE arrows between them.
How to Play Bull Rush for Real Money
Pick a casino that lists Konami
Your Bull Rush Australia search starts with a casino that accepts Australian players and keeps your balance in AUD. Konami should appear in its provider list.
Register and verify
Complete KYC with a driver's licence or passport plus proof of address. Finish it before your first withdrawal.
Deposit in A$
Fund the account in Australian dollars with PayID or a Neosurf voucher.
Search two names
Type both Bull Rush and Bull Blitz into the lobby search and filter by Konami. Check for 50 lines and Rose scatters before you load the game.
Set your stake
Choose the DENOM, adjust BET PER LINE with the arrows and read the total on the SPIN button. Leave MAX BET alone unless you mean it, since one press stakes A$30,000.
Spin or use Auto Play
Press SPIN or the space bar, or set AUTO PLAY for a run of spins. Turbo and Game Recall are there if your casino's version offers them.
From Land-Based Cabinet to Online Pokie
Australians who know the Bull Rush pokie have most likely played its cabinet in a pub, club or casino pokie room.
Its popularity with players and the wider shift of gambling towards online play led to an online version. Konami releases it on its own online client under the in-game title Bull Blitz: Roses & Riches.
The studio's main business is cabinets and casino management systems such as SYNKROS. That is why Konami has a wider presence on casino floors than in online lobbies.
The online build keeps the core of the game: Bull Blitz, X-Tra Hit and Free Games from Rose scatters. If Telstra or Optus 4G drops out on a train mid-Bull Blitz, the round continues from where it left off once you reconnect.
Finding Bull Rush Online in Australia
Tracking down Bull Rush online takes a little work. The game has a different in-game title, few lobbies carry it, and Konami has similarly named siblings. If your casino lists it as Bull Blitz: Roses & Riches, you have found the right bull.
| Problem | What to check |
|---|---|
| Searching "Bull Rush" returns nothing | Search "Bull Blitz" or "Roses & Riches" and filter by Konami |
| The wrong Bull Rush opened | This one has Rose scatters and a Flamenco Dancer Wild; Bull Rush Stampede (30 lines) and Bull Rush Maximus Money are separate games |
| Few lobbies carry it | Konami's online presence differs by market; try the provider filter at several casinos |
| RTP differs between casinos | Online builds run 88–96%; ask support which one the casino uses |
| Paying in A$ | Choose an AUD account; PayID for bank deposits, Neosurf vouchers for prepaid |
| Withdrawal delayed | Finish KYC (ID and proof of address) before the first cash-out |
Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, online casinos and online pokies cannot be offered to people in Australia. The law targets operators, and ACMA blocks illegal offshore sites.
An offshore casino gives you no Australian consumer protection. Before you pick a Bull Rush casino, check who licenses the operator and how withdrawals work.

FAQ
Konami publishes its online build of Bull Rush under that in-game title, so search a casino lobby for both names.
It keeps the core of the game: Bull Blitz, X-Tra Hit and Free Games from Rose scatters. The online RTP is 96% in the top build, and each operator picks a version between 88% and 96%.
The Double Rose lands only on reel 4 and counts as 2 Roses. Add one Rose on reel 2 or 3 and you have the 3 scatters needed for 5 Free Games.
The game pays the total on all Gold Coins and resets the Bonus Games counter to 3. At the end of that Bonus Game, the new Bull also turns Silver Coins into Gold Coins.
It pays when all 15 positions hold Bulls, Silver Coins or Gold Coins at the end of a Bull Blitz Bonus Game. It can also be awarded at random at the end of any paid spin, and its meter scales with bet per line.
No. The Free Game Feature cannot be retriggered and no scatters land during it. Bull Blitz can still start inside Free Games when 6 or more Bulls appear.
