Rainbow Riches is a slot game powered by Barcrest. It has 5 reels 20 pay lines, and an Irish theme featuring leprechauns and pots of gold. Rainbow Riches is popular amongst players from the UK and found in pubs, online, at land-based casinos and arcades. This game got released in 2009 and, due to its popularity, has become Barcrest’s flagship. It has an Irish Luck theme with simple graphics and animations, and somehow it adds to the charm of the slot, but that’s my opinion. The harp soundtrack is fun and upbeat and gives one that feels of Ireland. Rainbow Riches is a simple medium variance slot in terms of its mechanics with its 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 pay lines. To land winning combinations in this game, players must land three matching symbols on a pay line starting from reel 1 on adjacent reels. It has an RTP of 95% lower than the 96.00% online slots average and a hit frequency rate of 27.02%, meaning just over a quarter of your spins result in a winning outcome. When playing Rainbow Riches, 53.01% of wins happen during the base game, with 41.99% coming from the features, which is a decent split. Although Rainbow Riches is an oldie Barcrest have revamped it using HTML5 technology. That means there’s a Rainbow Riches mobile slot available for those on the go players anytime and from any location.

Rainbow Riches Slot Bonus Features

Rainbow Riches offers its players a trio of Bonus Features: Cash Trail, Pots that come with stake multipliers, and a pick me style game.

Road To Riches Bonus Feature

The first Bonus Feature is the Roads to Riches. This feature gets activated by landing 3 or more Leprechauns anywhere on the reels. On average, it takes 115 spins to trigger this feature. Once triggered, press the start button to spin the wheel, which decides the number of steps up the cash path a player needs to take. Players continue spinning the wheel until the wheel lands on a “Collect” position, or the player reaches the top of the cash path. Once a player has achieved either, or they receive the amount displayed on their final position, multiplied by their total stake. The maximum win in the Road to Riches Bonus game is 500x your stake.

Wishing Well Bonus Feature

Players have to land 3 or more Wishing wells anywhere on the reels in the Wishing Well Bonus to trigger this feature. This is the feature players should frequently trigger as it only takes 107 spins on average. It’s a classic Pick Me Feature, and you need to select one of the 3 Wishing Wells, which will reveal the multiplier value of your total stake. Once again, players stand a chance of winning the maximum, which is 500x the total stake.

Pots of Gold Bonus Feature

Pots of Gold is the final Bonus feature played when you land 3 Pots of Gold symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4. Now, this feature takes in the region of 1050 spins to trigger. During the Pots of Gold feature, bronze, silver, and gold pots spin across the screen. The arrow points to 1 when the pots stop spinning. The attached multiplier gets multiplied by your total stake, and you’ve guessed it up to 500x your total stake is the maximum win.

Gamble Feature

In addition to its fabulous features and Bonus Rounds, the Rainbow Riches also offers a Gamble Feature where players have the choice of gambling their prizes on the winning spin of their choice. Push the Gamble button, and players get taken to a new screen where the gamble wheel gets spun. The screen is divided into two, one for victory one for loss. Land in the winning section and your winnings get doubled or lose it all.

The Verdict

Rainbow Riches is a genuinely iconic slot. As a result, Barcrest and SG Interactive, a company that owns Barcrest, has created other Rainbow Riches slots, including Rainbow Riches Cluster Magic, Rainbow Riches Megaways, and Rainbow Riches Pick n Mix. The original Rainbow Riches has no Free Spins feature; however, it has three bonus features offering an excellent variety to keep players coming back for more. Rainbow Riches may be dated in terms of graphics and gameplay, and it’s below-average RTP of 95.00%. It remains a legend amongst avid online gamblers, particularly in the UK.
