Slot Overview

Derby Rush is BGaming’s latest release, and this horse-racing-themed slot has a lot to offer beyond some first-past-the-post commentary! There’s a Wild collector mechanic, Free Spins, three different Bonus Buy options, and a maximum win potential of 5,000x. But is the game good? Find out in this Demoslot review!

Gameplay & Bonus Features

Derby Rush is played on a five-reel, three-row layout with 20 fixed paylines. Wins are paid from left to right. You can bet between €0.20 and €50 per spin. The game carries an RTP of 97.20%, which is very high.

Now, we think it’s fair to say this isn’t one of BGaming’s most action-packed games, and there’s very little base game action. You’ll want to be on the lookout for the scatter symbols, as landing 3+ triggers the main free spins bonus. Here, you receive 10, 15, or 20 free spins, and now, wilds come into play.

You’ll have noticed that the horse symbols in the base game contain cash values, but they don’t actually do anything until the bonus. During the bonus, whenever a wild symbol lands, it collects the value attached to any horses in view. Every fourth wild that lands re-triggers the feature, adding ten additional free spins and increasing a multiplier up to 10x.

Bonus Buy

Derby Rush offers three Bonus Buy options. The Super Bonus costs 100x and awards the standard bonus; the Mega Bonus costs 150x and can re-trigger with multipliers up to 25x; and the Ultra option costs 200x and unlocks multipliers up to 100x.

Theme & Design

If you’re a fan of racing games like Big Bass Day at the Races or Racetrack Riches Megaboard, then Derby Rush may appeal to you, but for some players, it’s probably going to be a bit cliché.

The game looks alright, sure, and you’ll see everything presented in a clean, colourful way, with a racetrack backdrop, jockeys, and theme-specific symbols. The reels themselves are placed on top of a dirt racetrack, suggesting it’s a North American-inspired game, and the betting options and all game options are at the bottom, with a Bonus Buy toggle on the left-hand side of the reels.

Pros

  • Win up to 5,000x
  • Very high RTP of 97.20%
  • Multipliers of up to 100x in the bonus round

Cons

  • Yet ANOTHER Big Bass Bonanza-style clone
  • Horse cash values can’t be collected in the base game
  • Very little action outside of the bonus

Final Thoughts

Look, we understand that studios need to keep up with competitors, and that often involves releasing games that are essentially clones, but we really don’t understand the hype about this whole Big Bass Bonanza trend that studios simply refuse to drop.

Derby Rush offers absolutely nothing in terms of originality. The theme is bland, boring, and just underwhelming, and there is quite literally nothing to get excited about here, in our opinion. 

Yes, if you're the type of player that loves the Big Bass style of games but can't access them due to where you live, then we suppose we could see a use case for playing this, but for us, it's just another rehashed clone. It certainly won't be a title we'll rush to play.
