Introduction

Can you sing a rainbow? We think you'll be singing for joy if you strike it lucky with Rainbow Riches Pick and Mix. This is a beautiful game designed by the UK slot maker, Barcrest, a firm that has one of the longest histories in the world of slots. Now, the company has taken a familiar theme of the luck of the Irish and pots of gold to create the bright Rainbow Riches Pick and Mix slot.

Pick and Mix is the sequel to Barcrest's long-running Rainbow Riches series. This version has many of the classic features that gamers enjoy, as well as some new ideas thrown in. It takes Rainbow Riches to a higher level with enhanced graphics, reels and a background with truly vibrant colours, particularly the use of green and gold, on desktop, mobile and tablet displays.

How to Play

Get started playing quickly:

• 1. Select up to three features before the game begins. Choosing fewer options means you'll trigger them more often. You can always change your choice in the base game by clicking "Reset Bonus".
   
• 2. Press the i symbol to take a look at the payouts. The paytable shows prizes as a multiple of your bet.
   
• 3. If you'd like, select the Big Bet option to potentially trigger a bonus right away.
   
• 4. Use the autoplay option for up to 25 spins.


• 5. Press PLAY and get spinning!

Bonus Game Selection

Unusually for an online slots game, your first decision is which bonus games to choose and how many. Before you even reach the playing screen with the five reels, you need to select between one and three of the five available bonus games.

This is a feature that will become clearer as you play the game. The fewer bonus games you choose, the greater the likelihood of triggering a bonus, so you are probably best off just picking one bonus to start with.

Betting Options

You will be taken to a new screen where the reels are waiting for you to spin them; however, before you do so, you need to select the amount that you are going to wager with each spin of the reels. You will find all the information you need to the left-hand side of the reels.

You will see the Big Bet Game button just above the spin button, which you can trigger at any time. This gives you direct access to your current selection of bonus games, enabling you to try your hand at either the bonus game or a selection of mega spins. We will explain this in more detail in a separate section.

RTP and Volatility

Rainbow Riches Pick n Mix offers variable RTP figures depending on the game you play and the amount of your wager. If you play with a wager of less than 1.00, you will be playing with an RTP of just 94 per cent. However, raise your stake to more than 1.00 per spin and you will see the RTP rise to a much more acceptable 96 per cent.

Volatility

Rainbow Riches Pick n Mix slots is a medium volatility online slots game, which makes it suitable for every type of gamer. This type of game delivers plenty of low-value wins, which keeps the cautious players happy, and occasional very big wins, which keeps the high rollers coming back for more.

Big Bet Game

If you have played any of the other games in the Rainbow Riches franchise, you have probably already come across the Big Bet Game.

When you first start playing Rainbow Riches Pick n Mix, you are invited to select one, two or three bonus games out of a choice of five options. It is completely up to you how many, or how few, you opt to play with, but keep in mind that fewer bonus options mean a greater likelihood that your bonus will trigger on the reels.

How to Use the Big Bet

To access the Big Bet Game at any time during your gaming session, simply hit the BB button located adjacent to the rightmost reel, halfway down the screen. This will take you to the Big Bet screen, where you are shown your chosen bonus game or games, as you have the option of picking up to three active bonus games at any time.

Each bonus game has a wheel beneath it, complete with a pointer that will spin when you decide which wheel you would like to activate. Even if your pointer falls into the green zone, there is no need for disappointment, since you will receive five mega spins during which it is also possible to activate the bonus.

Bonuses and Features

When you start playing Rainbow Riches Pick n Mix, you’ll be asked to select between 3 and 5 possible bonuses. The fewer bonuses you choose, the greater the chances of triggering them. As an added plus, if you want to change your bonus picks whilst playing, you can do so using the Reset Bonus button.

The bonus symbols are the grinning leprechaun, the pot of gold, the Free Spins logo, the toadstools and the leprechaun holding a gold coin. To trigger a bonus round, you’ll need 3, 4 or 5 of the bonus Scatter symbols to appear anywhere on the reels.

Pots of Gold

Triggered by landing 3 or more pots of gold on the reels, this bonus round will see the pots fly across the reels until one randomly reveals a multiplier.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4 or 5 of the Free Spins symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 will trigger 10, 20 or 30 spins respectively. During these free spins, the trigger symbol acts as a stacked wild and increases the chances of winning combinations.

Magic Toadstools

Activated when 3 or 4 toadstools appear on the reels, this bonus will see you receive 3 picks from 24 items on display. A fairy or multiplier is awarded, with fairies giving you additional prizes from 3 more toadstools.

Cash Crop

3 or 4 grinning leprechauns trigger this bonus and you’ll be taken to a second screen where 50 spinning coins will slow down to reveal cash prizes and multipliers. The bonus comes to an end when the Collect Coin is revealed.

Max-win 500x

Volatility Medium to High Volatility

RTP 94% (less than £1 bet) / 96% (more than £1 bet) / 98% (Premium Play)

Overall Review

Ultimately, Rainbow Riches is a nice, simple slot game that is easy to learn and play. The multitude of bonus options is impressive and keeps things interesting and if you are prepared to activate the Big Bet Game then the payout ratio is one of the best in the marketplace. Well worth a spin.
