Introduction to Billionaire Rush Express
Billionaire Rush Express is a casino slot from AreaVegas. The company has released an endless number of Rush Express games. From the start, they had mining themes like Gold Rush Express and Diamond Rush Express, where trains of fortunes run above the reels. Unfortunately, the studio seems to repeat itself, and this is yet another example. Billionaire Rush Express is a so-called reskin of Gold Rush Express, meaning all stats and features are identical. The only difference is that the studio has exchanged the mines for a swanky yacht setting. Well, now that we have ended up in this posh marina, we’ll have to take a closer look at it.

Theme, Gameplay, and Payouts
Billionaire Rush Express is a video slot from AreaVegas featuring 5 reels, 4 rows, and 20 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.1, and the Max.bet is capped at 50. You can expect high volatility and an RTP of 96.45%. The max win is 5,000x the bet, and the hit frequency is 29.42%.
We’re looking at calm blue water in what we assume is a lavish port. It’s nighttime, and yellow warm lights are lit on the pier at the top of the screen. Above the five semi-transparent reels is a golden yacht, and to the left of the reels, a helicopter hovers with enormous diamonds beneath it. To make a win, you need to land at least 3 matching symbols in one of the 20 paylines going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel to the left, and the game is available on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Billionaire Rush Express are 10, J, Q, K, and A. They pay 1x the bet for wins of 5 symbols. The higher-paying symbols are champagne bucket, ring, watch, suitcase of cash, and green sportscar. These symbols will give you between 2x and 5x the bet for 5 winning symbols. The Wild Symbol substitutes all mentioned symbols in making winning combinations on paylines. It doesn’t substitute the Bonus, Rush Express, Bell, and Gold Yacht Symbols.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics

You can win up to 5,000x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Billionaire Rush Express?
The features are Wild Symbol, Rush Express Feature, Free Spins, and Pick Feature.
Wild Symbol
Fancy Lady symbols act as Wild symbols in the game. Wild symbols can replace other symbols to help form winning combinations. They can substitute for all symbols except Bonus, Rush Express, Bell, and Gold Yacht symbols. Wild symbols are also able to create their own winning combination when they land together on a payline, paying 10x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win.
Rush Express Feature
Bell and Gold Yacht symbols appear only on reel 5. When either of these symbols appears in the same spin as a Rush Express symbol, the Rush Express feature is activated. If a Bell symbol lands, all Rush Express symbol prizes shown on the screen are instantly paid out.
If a Gold Yacht symbol lands, all Rush Express symbol prizes on the screen are collected and added to the Gold Yacht above the reels. The Gold Yacht can award this collected total to the player up to 10 times. Rush Express symbols can appear on reels 1-4.
When the Rush Express feature is triggered, each Rush Express Yacht symbol activates a mini feature that determines its prize value. The yacht's color in the mini feature matches the color of the triggering Rush Express Yacht symbol. Each colored yacht prize adds a cash value to the triggering symbol. The final colored yacht prize may also award a multiplier or the matching colored jackpot.
Free Spins
Bonus Symbols appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 during the base game. Landing 3 Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Free Spins feature. You’re awarded 10 Free Spins that can’t be retriggered. The Rush Express feature triggers more often during the feature.
Pick Feature
At the end of any base game spin, Diamond symbols may randomly trigger the Pick Feature. You’re taken to a 5x3 grid with diamonds, where you pick one diamond after another to reveal the prize behind them. Whenever the same prize is displayed three times, you win that sum. The Pick Feature can only activate after a base game spin that does not trigger Free Spins or the Rush Express feature. It cannot be triggered during Free Spins.
Final Thoughts on Billionaire Rush Express
After spending some quality time aboard this luxury yacht, it’s hard to shake the feeling that we’ve all been here before. Billionaire Rush Express looks shiny, sounds fancy, and talks a big game about wealth and excess, but underneath the gold trim, it’s doing the exact same tricks as its older sibling. The marina setting is pleasant enough, yet it doesn’t add anything meaningful to the experience, and once the novelty of the helicopter and glowing yacht fades, you’re left pulling the same levers you’ve already pulled in Gold Rush Express.
The features work fine, the math is solid, and nothing is technically broken, but we could really wish that AreaVegas tried something new. The Free Spins feel a bit stingy, the Pick Feature pops up just often enough to tease you, and the Rush Express mechanic, while flashy, rarely delivers moments that feel genuinely exciting.
Billionaire Rush Express from AreaVegas will, in the best case, keep fans occupied, but it’s unlikely to win over players hoping for something fresh.
