What is Rainbow Riches
Rainbow Riches is one of the UK's longest-standing slot favourites, created by Barcrest (now part of Light & Wonder, formerly Scientific Games). Its Irish-luck theme of leprechauns, rainbows and pots of gold started life on physical machines before becoming a lasting success online.
What made it stand out was having three separate bonus features, something quite unusual when it was first released. It is still a game people pick for the bonuses rather than for chasing giant multipliers.
The theme is warm and cheerful, and its roots on physical machines still show in its simple, friendly layout.
The three bonus features
In Road to Riches, you spin a wheel and move along a trail, collecting ever-larger multipliers as you go. In Wishing Well, you choose one of the wells to reveal a multiplier applied to your total bet.
Pots of Gold spins three pots (bronze, silver and gold) until one of them is selected and your prize is revealed. That mix of mini-games gives Rainbow Riches a variety that few classic slots can match.
Each bonus plays out differently, so no two features feel quite the same. Road to Riches is about progress along the trail, Wishing Well is a single choice, and Pots of Gold is pure anticipation.
RTP and volatility
The original version has an RTP of around 95%, a touch below average, with medium volatility. The pace is relaxed and the focus is on the fun of the bonus rounds rather than big multipliers. The typical maximum win is close to 500x your stake, so this is a game for steady entertainment more than headline wins.
Bets start at 0.20. If you are after an easy-going slot with character, this one delivers.
