Gold Rush – Johnny Cash separates its bonuses by trigger and payout logic. Three Scatters on reels one, three, and five start ten Free Spins with top symbols; six Coins open a respin round where values stay until collection or the feature ends. Plus spins can extend that round, and Collect sums displayed Coins.

Twenty-five lines and a fixed Scatter pattern
BGaming lists 25 lines but does not specify the reel and row dimensions or spell out the ordinary line-evaluation direction in the observed rules. The standard Wild substitutes for symbols in a winning line, except Scatters and Coins. That exception matters: Coins participate in the separate Gold Respin feature and cannot be treated as ordinary line symbols replaced by a Wild. The listing therefore establishes the line count and substitution boundaries, while leaving some base-game paytable detail open.
The Free Spins trigger is positional: three Scatters must land on reels one, three, and five. The award is ten spins using only top symbols. If Scatters land on the reels during Free Spins, ten more spins are awarded. The rules do not provide a cap or state a different number for additional Scatters. This is distinct from Gold Respin, which begins with six or more Coin symbols rather than the Scatter pattern. Keeping the two triggers separate avoids assuming that a Coin collection starts Free Spins or that a Scatter enters the respin round.
Coins stay; Plus spins extend the round
Gold Respin begins with six respins. Coin symbols worth ×1 to ×20 of the bet remain in place until the round ends. A Plus spin symbol awards one additional spin; if multiple Plus spins land during one spin, their awards are summed. The feature ends when its available spins are exhausted, although the description does not state the precise reset rule for Plus spins or a separate full-grid ending condition. A random Collect symbol sums the values of the Coins currently shown, giving the feature an explicit collection event rather than requiring a line win.
Collecting 15 Coins is associated with the listed jackpot of up to ×5,000 of the bet. That is a feature-specific coin-count condition. The game details separately list a maximum multiplier of ×5,624 and maximum win of €224,960. Those are distinct scopes and figures; the source does not explain their relationship or provide a formula connecting them. They should not be collapsed into one payout claim. Coins also have stated individual values, but their odds and the timing of a Collect symbol are not specified. Buy Bonus can purchase either Free Spins or Gold Respin at a displayed price adjusted to the bet, and is disabled during a bonus round.
Published settings
The exact title is listed at 96.14% RTP and Very high volatility, with 25 lines and a June 16, 2022 release date. Its €224,960 maximum win and ×5,624 maximum multiplier are the official game-level values; the Gold Respin description separately advertises up to ×5,000 of the bet for collecting 15 Coins. A bonus threshold and overall listing need not describe the same scope, and the observed material offers no arithmetic tying them together. Very high volatility does not reveal how often either Scatter or Coin conditions occur.
Strengths and weak points
Strengths
The two bonus routes have distinct entry conditions, and Gold Respin clearly states Coin persistence, the Plus spin award, and what Collect does.
Weaknesses
The rules leave the respin reset and Collect timing unclear, and the feature-specific ×5,000 jackpot claim is not reconciled with the separate game-level maximum figures.
Our Editor’s View
Gold Rush – Johnny Cash offers two parallel bonus systems. Scatters award ten top-symbol spins with a stated ten-spin retrigger; Coins hold values while Plus spins extend the chance to collect them. Yet the rules do not resolve how Plus spins affect the counter, when Collect appears, or how the coin-count jackpot relates to game-level maximum values. Players can follow the distinct entry points, but judging the bonus ceiling requires those details.
