Overview
By Sophie Lang, Games & Mobile Editor. Catalog RTP last refreshed 24 August 2026 — not a live lobby scrape. Confirm the cash info panel after login.
Gold Rush is Pragmatic’s gold classic: 100× class, prefer ~96.50% after CAD login. It is not 888 Gold’s 888 gold at 888× / ~96.50% and not Gold Party’s gold party at 5,000× / ~96.48%.
Lobby search stacks 888 Gold, Gold Party, and Wolf Gold beside it. Open the cash title that reads Gold Rush, then read the panel — 95.50% and 94.50% Pragmatic builds still ship.
Confirm the live contribution table. Some tables still cap max bet. Confirm before you opt in.
Editor take — Gold Rush. Use gold classic on a 96.50% CAD panel at 100×. Take 888 Gold for 888 gold at 888× / ~96.50%. Take Gold Party for gold party at 5,000× / ~96.48%. Skip Wolf Gold unless that is the cash tile.
Stake and table limits for Gold Rush are operator-specific in CAD. Set a session cap before you open the game, then confirm 96.5% on the cash panel — not the demo tile.
