Rainbow Riches Slot Review & Free Play

Rainbow Riches: Luck O' the Irish or Blarney?

Rainbow Riches is a 5-reel slot that warms you up, but it's not quite the gourmet meal. I must say, the Irish theme is done to a tee, complete with a cheeky leprechaun and lucky symbols. It's got that classic vibe, but was it my speed?

Well, I started my jaunt through this Celtic-themed slot with a single penny bet. But, like any true adventurer, I soon upped the ante to the max twenty lines at a dollar each.

Here, the adjustable 20 paylines along with a wide bet range (starting at a penny and going up to 500 coins a spin) provided me with a level of control I usually appreciate in a slot game.

The thrill of chasing those high-value symbols across the reels was real, though I have to admit, the payouts didn't always match my enthusiasm.

The biggest win I bagged was 110 coins. The three scatter symbols - Road to Riches, Wishing Well, and Pots of Gold, teased me with their promise of large payouts, but they remained elusive in my 30-minute odd stint in this Irish adventure.

Theoretically, the max payout you can hit is 500x your total wager. That's if you strike it lucky with 5 of those Wild symbols. 

First up, you've got the Road to Riches feature. Nab 3 Leprechaun Bonus symbols and you can hit that spin button skip down the cash path. Keep your fingers crossed you don't land on "collect" too soon because you could multiply your stake by up to 500 if you stack up 5 of them! 

Then, there's the Wishing Well Bonus. It's pretty straightforward: hit 3 Wishing Well symbols and you get to pick one to reveal a sweet multiplier, potentially winning up to 500x your total bet.

Last but not least, stack 3 pots of gold bonus symbols and you'll see pots of all kinds start doing a merry jig on your screen. They'll stop, and if luck's on your side, the arrow will point to a pot brimming with coins, and the max win you can grab is 500x total bet.

If you are like me, you might enjoy hands-free spinning with the Autoplay feature which comes with a loss limit option – a smart way to enjoy the spins without getting too lost in the leprechaun's world.

However, the 2009-launched game does show its age against newer, slicker slots. The graphics and animations might not appeal to gamers across generations.

In my opinion, Rainbow Riches is straightforward, not overly complicated with features. But if you're after the glitz and dazzle of modern slots with intricate mechanics, this Barcrest video slot might feel a bit one-note.
