Slot Design
The reels mix Chinese luck iconography with a stampede theme. A golden Buddha, a dragon turtle, a money tree and a goldfish sit alongside red lanterns. The Empress Wild appears as a robed figure that anchors the middle reels. The golden bull head carries the game's stampede identity across the grid.
Card symbols A, K, Q and J round out the lower-paying tier without breaking from the oriental theme. The palette stays consistent between the base game and the Bull Blitz Feature grid.
Free Game Feature
3 or more Scatter symbols (red lanterns) trigger 6 Free Games. Any mix of single and double lanterns counts, and the Double Scatter on reel 4 counts as 2 single Scatters toward the trigger. The Free Game Feature pays 2x the total bet on landing.
During the feature, a separate reel set comes into play. The Empress Wild lands only on reels 2 through 5, and when it appears it expands to cover the full reel before wins are calculated. Bet per credit and the number of paylines carry over from the spin that triggered the feature.
Six free games, one expanding Empress: the Bull Blitz Feature can trigger mid-feature. Extra free games can also be won inside the Free Game Feature itself, stacking bonus rounds on top of the initial award.
Bull Blitz Feature
6 or more Bull-head symbols on the grid trigger Bull Blitz. Every position that is not a Bull-head turns into its own spinning reel, and the feature opens with 3 bonus games on the counter.
Only three elements are active once Bull Blitz starts: Bull-head symbols, silver mystery coins and gold prize coins. Every Bull-head on the triggering grid converts to a silver mystery coin. Each one reveals a Mega Jackpot, Maxi Bonus, Major Bonus, Mini Bonus or a credit prize. Silver and gold coins hold their position between bonus games and do not reset.
The coins keep holding while the Bull-heads keep coming. Landing 1 or more new Bull-head symbols during a bonus game pays out every prize sitting on a gold coin immediately. It also resets the remaining bonus games back to 3. Without a new Bull-head, the starting silver coin prizes convert to gold coins and pay out once the feature ends.
Bull Blitz ends when the bonus game counter runs out, or when all 15 positions on the grid fill with Bull-head symbols and coins. The feature cannot re-trigger itself while active.
X-tra Hit Feature
Every X-TRA HIT tile that appears during a Bull Blitz bonus game starts one X-tra Hit Feature. A single bonus game can award several of them in a row.
Only the silver mystery coin and the gold credit coin stay active during X-tra Hit, and the reels stop spinning for its duration. When 2 or more Bull-head symbols appear on screen, one converts to a silver mystery coin and a second becomes an X-TRA HIT tile. Any remaining Bull-head symbols hold in place. Each X-TRA HIT tile pays out every prize sitting on a gold coin at that point.
At the close of any X-tra Hit Feature, the X-TRA HIT tile converts to a silver mystery coin. This does not happen if all 15 grid positions are already filled. That coin reveals a Mega Jackpot, Maxi Bonus, Major Bonus, Mini Bonus or credit prize. A further Bull-head symbol starts another X-tra Hit Feature. The bet per credit stays fixed at the value from the game that opened the feature.
Bonus Rounds
Bull Blitz carries a ladder of jackpot tiers, from the Grand Jackpot down to the Mini Bonus. Grand Jackpot, Mega Jackpot, Maxi Bonus, Major Bonus and Mini Bonus all scale with the bet per credit and per line in play.
Maxi, Major & Mini Bonus
Maxi Bonus pays 10,000x the bet per line, Major Bonus pays 5,000x, and Mini Bonus pays 1,000x. Credit prizes fill the gaps between tiers at 800x, 500x, 200x, 100x, 90x, 75x, 50x or 40x the bet per line.
| Tier | Multiplier of bet per line |
|---|---|
| Maxi Bonus | 10,000x |
| Major Bonus | 5,000x |
| Mini Bonus | 1,000x |
| Credit Prize | 800x / 500x / 200x / 100x / 90x / 75x / 50x / 40x |
Up to 5 Maxi Bonus prizes can land within a single Bull Blitz Feature, each one added to the running total before the feature ends.
Mega Jackpot
The Mega Jackpot pays out the moment a silver coin reveals it, and that position immediately refills with the lowest credit prize on the ladder. Konami has not published a fixed multiplier for this tier; the value scales with the bet per line.
Grand Jackpot
The Grand Jackpot sits at the top of the ladder as the rarest award in Bull Rush Stampede. It pays when all 15 positions on the grid fill with silver coins, gold coins and Bull-head symbols. This must happen by the end of a Bull Blitz bonus game.
The prize is progressive and can also land at random at the end of a bought spin, a rare secondary route to the same jackpot.
Slot Paytable
Standard symbol payouts appear in credits at the minimum stake of 50 credits, covering 5, 4 and 3-symbol combinations. Payouts scale up with the size of the bet.

RTP & Volatility
Bull Rush Stampede runs at 96% RTP online, against 88% on the cabinet version Konami builds for physical casino floors. Volatility is high.
The 5,000x ceiling comes from a Maxi or Major Bonus inside the Bull Blitz Feature. A high-volatility pokie like this calls for a larger session bankroll and a smaller stake relative to that balance.

Bull Rush Stampede on Mobile
AU players lean heavily on mobile browsers for pokies. Mobile handling matters here as much as it does on desktop.
| Requirement | Minimum |
|---|---|
| iOS | iOS 14+, Safari 14+ |
| Android | Android 8+, Chrome 90+ |
| Connection | Stable 4G/Wi-Fi (Bull Blitz Feature loads additional grid assets) |
Open the casino site or app in a mobile browser, search for Bull Rush Stampede by name, then tap Play. Either demo or real-money mode is available. The bet per line and paylines set on desktop carry over to the mobile session automatically.
iOS Safari can block autoplay from starting without a manual tap. The first spin after loading often needs a direct touch on the spin button. Rotating the phone to landscape mid-Bull Blitz can force a reload of the expanded coin grid. It pays to lock orientation before the feature triggers.
Playing Bull Rush Stampede Responsibly
Set a deposit limit and a session time limit before the first spin. This matters especially with a high-volatility pokie, where a Bull Blitz round can run through several bonus games in one sitting. Track the bankroll against the bet per line during any long Bull Blitz session.
Trying the demo mode first is a practical way to learn how Bull Blitz and X-tra Hit behave before staking real money on them. AU players can reach BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register, or call Gambling Help Online at 1800 858 858 for free, confidential support.
