Always Up! Slot Overview
Always Up! from BGaming is a 3x3 slot with 5 fixed paylines, medium volatility, 95.07% RTP and a top win of 559x. I’d call it a very simple game with one clear selling point, the rocket bonus. For chat, that means short base game sequences and most of the suspense packed into one feature.
Always Up! uses an East-Asian festival theme, with the reels set inside a pagoda and symbols like lotus flowers, coins, firecrackers and gold items. If I’m honest with viewers, the theme is tidy rather than fresh. It looks polished, but the format is old-school and the base game can drag a bit between bonus triggers.
Always Up! Slot Information
Gameplay is line-based and very direct. You land wins by matching 3 symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel, across the 5 paylines. There is no Wild, no respins and no free spins, so what you see is what you get in the base game, quick spins, small line hits, then wait for the bonus.
Symbols split into low and high values. The lower-paying set includes the blue sign, green, purple and red firecracker symbols, paying from 1x to 4x for 3 of a kind. The higher-paying symbols are lotus, coins, golden bowls and a red gold bag, paying from 4x up to 60x for 3 matching symbols.

Always Up! Slot Features
3 Bonus scatters trigger the Bonus Game. Instead of free spins, you get 5 rockets and pick 1. After that, the rockets shoot upwards and the multiplier on your chosen one keeps climbing until it explodes. That multiplier becomes your prize, and it can reach up to 499x in the bonus round.
A few reviews mention that 1 or 2 scatters can also randomly activate the feature, which is unusual for a slot this stripped back. There’s also Bonus Buy on the side of the reels, priced at 80x the bet, and that version of the feature is listed with 95.98% RTP. I’d stream the buy a few times, because the standard game is very light.
