Rainbow Riches Retro Bonus Features

The Rainbow Riches Retro slot boasts wilds, multiple scatter symbols and 3 different bonus features appearing as a wheel game, a picking game and the spinning pot of gold game. As an upgrade to the original Rainbow Riches, there isn’t much of a change in terms of graphics, the functionality and the bonus features. But as they say, why fix something that’s not broken?

Wilds

Spinning the gold coin wild into view will substitute for all paying symbols except the three scatter symbols, Road to Riches, Wishing Well and Pots of Gold.

Scatter Symbol

Identical to the original, the retro version of the Rainbow Riches slot has three scatters – the Leprechaun himself, a wishing well and a pot of gold. When they land into their designated positions on the reels, each will unlock one of the three bonus features.

Road to Riches Feature

Off you go! Landing 3 or more scattered red-bearded leprechaun symbols will grant you access to the Road to Riches round. You’ll start this bonus game by spinning the wheel and hope it doesn’t come to a halt at the “collect” position. You’ll want the leprechaun to keep on spinning it so you can take one to a max of six steps at a time to get closer to the top multiplier. The max prize available during this round is up to 500x your stake.

Wishing Well Feature

During this picking game, three wishing wells emerge on the play area when 3 or more wishing well scatters appear in sight. Pick one of them to reveal your multiplier. As with the other bonus features, the max you can win from this game is 500x your stake.

Pot of Gold

Rainbow Riches Retro wouldn’t be an Irish-themed slot if you didn’t have to find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And here it is, hiding within the Pot of Gold bonus feature. To trick the leprechaun into giving up the pot of riches, you’ll have to land 3 or more pot of gold scatters.

When you do, gold, bronze and silver pots of multipliers will spin into view and circle around the weary leprechaun. Whichever pot the arrow points at, that will be the multiplier you will get. Again, the max you can win here is 500x your stale.

Rainbow Riches Retro Jackpot

Though the audacious Irish leprechaun shows off many of his pots of gold within the gameplay, the Rainbow Riches Retro slot isn’t a jackpot game. Neither was the original slot. However, compared to the timeless predecessor, the max potential has increased to 2,500x your stake, which is a welcome positive change.

RTP and Volatility

In terms of key stats, the game remains the same. The RTP of 95% sits just on the edge of the industry’s average. That’s a shame though as we would have liked to see this game turn things up a notch and shift the RTP above a mediocre level.

The game’s volatility is still set to medium, which is totally fine with us. It will allow you to pick up some decent wins on semi-frequent intervals should you be lucky to get the top multipliers during each bonus round.
