Gift Rush Merge Up Demo Slot by BGaming Free Play

Gift Rush Merge Up is an online Slot from BGaming.

Gift Rush Merge Up is a festive Merge Up cluster slot in which holiday ornaments pack themselves into Gift Boxes, then burst open to push symbols up a nine-level ladder. Every winning cluster marks its cells and starts a multiplier that can climb as far as 128x, and those multipliers stay put once Free Spins begin.

Quick Facts

• Symbol ladder: 9 main symbol levels; winning symbols merge into the next level
• Cell multipliers: start at 2x and can reach 128x
• Maximum win: 10,000x the bet
• Volatility: very high
• Bonus round: Free Spins with sticky cell multipliers, plus a Buy Bonus

How the Game Plays

Four or more identical symbols sitting next to each other form a cluster. After the win is paid, some of those symbols disappear and others become the next symbol on the ladder, so a single spin can chain into several upgrades. The cells that just paid are marked. A later winning cluster in a marked cell receives a 2x multiplier, and that cell's multiplier then rises by 2x with every new win in the same position, up to 128x. When several marked cells are part of one cluster, their multipliers are applied together.

Gift Boxes

When a winning cluster is formed from eighth-level symbols, a Gift Box is created. After it opens, the eight symbols around it disappear, the gaps refill with new symbols, and the Gift Box itself turns into a prize symbol. Gift Boxes can also land on the reels in their own right, so a spin can both merge symbols upward and crack open a box of extras in the same sequence.

Free Spins

Scatters can appear on the reels or be created when a Gift Box opens. Three, four, five, and six or more Scatters award 12, 15, 20 and 30 Free Spins respectively. During the round, cell multipliers are sticky and keep growing until the feature ends. Three or more Scatters in a single free spin add five extra spins. The Buy Bonus window offers a standard Free Spins purchase, Free Spins that start with a 2x multiplier already on every cell, and Free Spins that begin with three to nine Gift Boxes on the reels, whose multipliers carry into the bonus. A separate bet-increase option in the same window slightly raises the stake to improve the chance of hitting the bonus, and it turns off if another buy is already active.
