Rain Balls Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

It isn’t just the North American Indians who have rain dancing all stitched up, although that’s what the Rain Dance online slot would have us believe. But anyone who’s visited Ireland knows that rain - and rainbows - are part of the national identity!

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

We’re off to Ireland to find reels filled with harps, barrels of stout and of course, the elusive pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. The graphics are as good as we’d expect from a Skywind online slot, and there’s a jaunty Irish theme tune - which we found slightly annoying, but that might just be us! It’s certainly in keeping with the game’s overall theme, and the game looks interesting and inviting.

Rain Balls RTP & Volatility

The RTP of 96% is reasonable, but this is a high-volatility game, so you’ll need elastic funds to tide you through a paid-for gaming session. If you love the thrill of a high volatility slot game, we’ve got a whole section of our website just for you!

How to Play Rain Balls

Skywind has a reputation for making slots games that are easy to understand. Follow our step-by-step guide and you’ll be spinning the reels within just a couple of minutes.

1 If playing with real cash, divide your bankroll up so as to provide you with a minimum of 100 spins - any less and you won’t give yourself enough chances to win.

2 Select your coin value, which is applied to each of the 15 paylines to arrive at your total cost per spin.

3 Click or tap on Spin to start your game.

4 Turbo-charge the reels by tapping on the speed button below Spin. And select automatic spins through the Autoplay button - tap again to deactivate the feature.

5 Game rules are accessed from the ‘?’ button below the game, close to the speaker icon which mutes game sounds.

6 The paytable and game information can be viewed by tapping on the ‘I’ button.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Coin values start at 0.05 and rise to a maximum of 20.00. This amount is applied to each of the 15 paylines, giving you wagering options from 0.75 to 300.00 per spin. That’s an appealing range for mid-stakes players and high rollers, but penny slots fans won’t find much of interest, particularly when you factor in the high volatility.

Match up three, four or five symbols across a payline from left to right, or from right to left, to win a cash prize. All awards in the paytable are given as multiplies of your coin value, as follows:

Orange clover leaf = 4x, 10x, 25x

Blue clover leaf = 4x, 10x, 25x

Red clover leaf = 5x, 15x, 30x

Green clover leaf = 5x, 15x, 30x

Harp = 10x, 25x, 50x

Barrel = 10x, 30x, 75x

Pipe = 12x, 50x, 100x

Horseshoe = 15x, 60x, 125x

Green top hat = 20x, 75x, 150x

Wild = 50x, 200x, 500x

There are also three Jackpot prizes which can be won during the Wheel of Fortune bonus game. Payouts are made as multipliers of your total bet as shown:

Mini Jackpot = 100x

Major Jackpot = 200x

Grand Jackpot = 500x

Max-win 500x

Volatility High

RTP 96.00%

Rain Balls Bonus Features & Free Spins

Any of the clover leaf symbols in Rain Balls can come with a silver raindrop at its centre, although this has no effect on the paytable. But any raindrops that feature on winning symbols fall down onto the pinboard below, where they could be bounced into an active collection pot. Depending on which pots they land in, they will trigger one of four bonus features.

Free Spins

The first ball to land in the Free Spins collection pot awards 10 free spins, with each subsequent ball adding a further 2 free spins. Landing additional balls into a Free Spins pot during the feature will also add another 2 free spins to your total. Throughout the feature, bonus round walls prevent the balls from falling outside the game, and at least four feature pots are guaranteed with each bonus spin.

Wheel of Fortune

Landing a ball in the Wheel of Fortune collection pot awards you one spin of the Wheel of Fortune. This appears above the game, awarding either a Bet Multiplier or one of the three Jackpot prizes.

Wild Reel

Landing a ball in a Wild Reel collection pot turns the reel above that pot wild. And that can generate multiple wins if the symbols have landed in your favour. For every additional ball that lands in a Wild Reel hopper, the Win Multiplier increases by 1x.

Extra Balls

Every ball that lands in an Extra Balls collection pot triggers 3 extra balls to fall down the pinboard. The collection pot then switches to become either a Free Spins, Wheel of Fortune or Wild Reel collector.

Overall Review

Skywind slots rarely disappoint, and Rain Balls manages to bring some interesting innovations to the slots genre. The game-within-a-game pinball feature is great fun, and it can deliver up some really good bonus features too. And it’s the bonus features where you’ll find the best chances of spinning up some big prizes, so you’ll want to collect as many raindrops as you possibly can throughout the game. Give it a spin - it’s really great fun once you get started - although you may want to mute the soundtrack!
