Basic gameplay and symbols
Rainbow Riches is a 20 payline slot in which players line up symbols, including Wild coins, the Rainbow Riches logo, and A to 10 playing card symbols. The highest paying symbol is the Wild, which pays out between 2x and 500x the bet for between two and five symbols on a payline. The Rainbow Riches symbol pays out between 2x and 250x the bet for two to five symbols, while 10 to A symbols pay out between 100x and 150x the bet for five symbols on a line.
Special features
It’s not hard to see why Rainbow Riches spurned so many follow-ups when you see how many features the game packs in. Back in 2009, this game was something quite special. Three or more leprechaun Scatter symbols trigger the Road to Riches Bonus, which sees players spinning a wheel to advance along a road, collecting awards as they go, up to 500x the stake. Three or more wishing well Scatters initiate the Wishing Well Bonus, a simple pick and click game in which players select one of their wishing wells to reveal a multiplier prize. This figure is multiplied by their total stake to award a single cash prize. Finally, three Pots of Gold symbols initiates the Pots of Gold Bonus. In this game, gold, silver, and bronze pots spin around the screen slowly before coming to a halt. An arrow will select a pot for you, and as in the Wishing Well Bonus, this will award a multiplier cash prize, again multiplied by the current bet.
Return to player
With a return to player of 95%, Rainbow Riches isn’t the best bargain when it comes to average returns. The RTP figure means that for every $100 you spend on the game, you can expect to win back an average of around $95. The RTP is a little poor for slots of this kind, though fans of the series likely won’t be too put off. It’s also a medium variance slot, so it’s pretty well balanced in terms of the frequency and size of wins.
