Gift Rush Merge Up

Holiday clusters that upgrade their symbols

Gift Rush Merge Up uses adjacent clusters rather than fixed paylines. Four or more matching neighbouring symbols form a win. After it pays, part of the cluster disappears while other symbols upgrade to the next level, allowing the board to develop through further combinations. BGaming identifies nine main symbol levels, with Scatter as the tenth level. A cluster of level-eight ornaments creates a Gift Box, adding a second layer to the merging sequence. This is the Merge Up edition and must be distinguished from the older Gift Rush title. Its official specifications list 97.00% RTP, very high volatility and an overall maximum multiplier of 10,000 times the bet.

Cell multipliers and the Gift Box chain

Cells involved in winning clusters are marked. A subsequent winning combination in a marked cell applies a multiplier starting at 2x, which can progress through higher levels up to 128x. Multipliers used by the same cluster are added together. In the main game, the markings last until that spin ends. A Gift Box clears the eight surrounding symbols when it opens, turns into a Scatter and increases the multipliers of affected cells by one level. The clearing and multiplier upgrade happen together, so the box changes both the symbols available for the next combination and the values associated with those cells.

Free Spins, Boosters and separate purchase options

Three, four, five or at least six Scatters award twelve, fifteen, twenty or thirty Free Spins respectively. During Free Spins, cell multipliers remain sticky for the full round and can continue to increase; three or more Scatters in one spin add five further spins. The menu separately offers a Random Booster, a board-wide 16x Booster and three bonus-purchase configurations: standard Free Spins, a round starting with 2x cell multipliers, or a start containing three to nine Gift Boxes. The Chance x2 option changes the stake and bonus chances and cannot run alongside another active Buy feature. These are documented options, not purchases performed for this preview. The announced game release is 19 November 2026; a playable demo is not available on this page yet, and no demo date has been confirmed.
