I confess right now, I love a slot with a magical element, so you can imagine how happy I was to find Rainbow Riches- a game infused with all things ‘magical’ and the ‘luck of the Irish’ from the get go. There are many Irish themed games on the market like Gaelic Luck with its Lucky Lasses and Lucky Leprechaun, but Rainbow Riches has to be the biggest
We are back in the land of our favourite green magical fella – a cheeky leprechaun. This smiling chap is guarding the riches at the end of the rainbow of course!
Play this game at any casino that stocks Scientific Games such as Monkey Casino, Royal Panda or Wombat Casino.
The game is as colourful as you’d expect for a game featuring a rainbow as the background with the slots in an unusual purple land. The game looks super cheerful and upbeat- just like our magical grinning pal. The graphics are crisp and the layout of the reels is clear and easy to view with its Celtic-style lettering and the frame of reels – all a hint that we are all back in the time of legend and magic. The background sound is easy on the ear with a few magical electronic sounds to keep up the tempo of play.
Rainbow Riches is a 3 row, 5 reels, 20 pay-line slot game putting it in a similar category to the Secrets of Christmas slot which has 25 lines.
The game’s Wild is one of the leprechaun’s golden coins from his rainbow horde, this substitutes for all symbols except the 3 of the special features. There is also a Rainbow Riches logo to look out for. The lower value icons are the A through 10 of the card deck.
This game benefits from 3 other special bonus symbols to launch different features. The first is the Road to Riches- the icon is of course our cheeky winking leprechaun guide. Just 3 or more little green leprechauns across the reels can take you to a screen where a path shows you to different value multipliers.
Here there’s a wheel of fortune (of course!) and you just spin this and it will land on numbers 1-6, this number is the number of places you then move, you get awarded the multiplier that you last land on before you exit this mode. But watch out- if you spin and land “collect” then you’re out of this feature. No fantasy slot would be complete without a sprinkle of magical dust and so we turn to the Pots of Gold Bonus.
Land the special bonus icon of a pot of gold with a rainbow on reels 2, 3 and 4 and this takes us to another magical setting, a field with our leprechaun friend. He is surrounded by different pots of precious gold; the one that stops at the bottom of the screen is awarded as your multiplier.
And last but not least, there is the Wishing Well Bonus; we are in magical Ireland after all. As you can imagine, the icon for this is yep, you guessed it, a wishing well. When 3 or more of these wells land on the reels you trigger the feature. You then pick 1 of the wells and the well’s bucket brings up your magical multiplier which you are awarded- what an easy way to make a buck!
I wasn’t disappointed with Rainbow Riches, it transported me to another world while serving up some decent bonus features – and it looks the part too. I’ll be making a date with my Irish magical guide again soon.
