Rainbow Riches Slot

Game background

One of the first things you may notice about this slot is that it is very traditional. It is designed to mimic a physical slot machine quite closely, so if this harks back to your younger days at the pub or casino, it could be a big plus. However, don’t expect a huge amount of exciting twists or gimmicks, because it’s all quite straightforward. This game was developed by the well-respected Barcrest, but has since been bought by Scientific Games, and is operated by that organisation.

One of the most famous and most loved parts of this game is the visuals and sound. While it is not sophisticated by modern slot standards, it all fits together well and never fails to work its charms on players, bringing Irish legend to life with four-leaf clovers, leprechauns and wishing wells making up the wilds and scatters. Combined with the lush Irish landscape, the bright arch of the rainbow and the jolly repetitive Irish jig, it’s easy to get lost in this game. This is one of those games that is all about the bonus rounds, so you’ll be trying to get there as soon as possible.

Gameplay

Barcrest built up a reputation for developing games that feel like a physical slot machine and Rainbow Riches is no different. Rainbow Riches is played on 5 reels and 3 rows, players have the choice of between 1 and 20 paylines per spin. It is recommended to keep all 20 paylines active throughout as the paying combinations will boost your potential winnings, however if you are on a lower budget then a lower amount of paylines may be suitable.

The full paytable is available on the left-hand side in the blue menu, as mentioned previously the paying combinations can differ due to the player’s chosen bet level. It is important to understand what each symbol is worth, and this information can all be found in the paytable too. It is no surprise with the Irish inspired slot, that the golden coin wild with the leprechaun on is the most valuable.

If you are lucky enough to land 5 of these symbols on a payline then you will earn 25 times your stake. The game logo symbol can reward players with a lucrative win as 5 of them on payline will pay 12.5x your stake. The other symbols are a combination of either the special feature or the lower value royal symbols which are worth between 7.5x and 5x your stake when having 5 on a payline.

One of the most important features to understand is how to choose the level of bet you are placing on each spin. Firstly, choose the number of paylines, then set the bet per line between 0.01 and 25 which will give you a total range of bet between 0.25 and 500 depending on what parameters you have set. Players can choose whether to autoplay spins from between 10 and 200 spins, you can set a win or loss limit for this too which can be helpful. After deciding what parameters, you would like, you are good to go on your quest to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Bonus rounds

Just like traditional slots this game really thrives on its bonus rounds, of which there are three. The Roads to Riches bonus sets you on a literal road that is paved with bonus multipliers and a wheel to spin, which decides how many steps on the road you move along. You can keep going until your wheel spins onto the ‘collect’ spot, picking up ever higher multipliers as you go. You can activate this bonus by landing three Leprechaun scatters on your reels.

The other two bonus rounds are also multiplier rounds. One is triggered when you land three wishing well scatters on your reels, and simply gives you three wells to choose from, revealing a multiplier under whichever one you choose. The third bonus round sends you to meet the Leprechaun, who has pots of gold spinning above his head, with one of them being randomly selected and revealing yet another multiplier. As we said, these aren’t complicated mini-games that you need to beat or keep track of, but what we will say is that this gives you access to some truly huge jackpots if you choose wisely. No wonder it’s so popular with veteran gamers!

Return to Player

The RTP is a decent 95% which is fairly standard for slots like this one. The variance level is medium, meaning that players can find a nice balance between frequency of wins and bigger wins. There isn’t a jackpot of such, however the max win is 500x your original stake which is still a very sizable win that players can aim for.
