Scary Rich Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Scary Rich is nothing if not novel! Joining the bone chilling list of Halloween themed slots it features some wonderfully drawn hammer horror characters including Frankenstein's monster, a zombie, mad professor and a witch. These appear along with more generic horror tropes including crows, tombstones and crucifixes. 

Scary Rich’s many features are anything but terrifying, though. There are free spins buried in the graveyard for anyone who can land 3 of the Frankenstein scatters, and the vampire wild symbol is even better. Land it on the first, second or third reel to see it expand. That means bigger payouts and a thrilling moment as new combinations form across the expanded symbol.

Rival Gaming usually makes their paylines flexible, and on Scary Rich you can choose up to 20. The slot is configured to show 5 symbols on each of the 3 reels.

Theme, Graphics & Design

Horror themed slots always have a tough time setting the right tone. Venture too far into the dark and the slot can be off-putting, but keep it too light and it’s hardly classifiable as horror at all. We’re pleased to say that Scary Rich gets its right. Some truly gruesome symbols adorn the paytable but there’s enough of a cartoon vibe to stop things from becoming too nightmarish. 

The symbols have a wonderful comic book vibe with a lot of detail. The bandage wrapped zombie is a sight to behold as lightning crackles in the sky behind him, but even simpler symbols like the crow look great with their own backgrounds. Music, of course, plays a big part in evoking fear, and Scary Rich’s suspenseful tune hits the mark.

With all this detail elsewhere it’s a shame that the background isn’t particularly well rendered. The setting is a graveyard but, other than the odd crucifix and a grinning pumpkin, there isn’t much by way of background imagery.

Scary Rich RTP and Variance

Scary Rich’s RTP might be a little scary to some. At only 92.52% it’s a long way below average and we can’t tell you anything about this slot’s volatility either. Don’t be too discouraged, however, as the top win (hard as it inevitably is to win) stands at x10,000.

How to Play Scary Rich

Navigating a graveyard full of zombies, vampires and werewolves is no mean feat! We’ve included this guide to help you through the dark.

1. Two crucifixes are marked 'paytable' just above the grid. Select one of these to read about symbol value and also see how the bonus features work.
2. The default number of paylines on Scary Rich is 20, but that’s easily changed. Simply press 'select lines' and set your paylines accordingly.
3. Bets controls are similarly straightforward. A tap of 'select coins' brings up the bet menu and you can select from the available stakes.
4. Autoplay is also on offer. You’ll find the auto button next to spin, where you can choose how many rounds you would like to play through.
5. There’s nothing scarier than spending more than you planned, but this is easily avoided by setting a budget before you begin.
6. Always play responsibly. Press spin to face the ghouls!

Bet & Win Sizes

There isn’t much to choose from by way of stakes on Scary Rich. The minimum bet size is 0.01 but you can only go as high as 0.05. This certainly isn’t the slot of choice for high rollers, but there is a massive single line win of x10,000 for landing 5 vampire wilds.

Here’s what else goes bump in the night.

Five vampire wilds = x 10,000

Five crows = x 2,000

Five mad scientists = x 1,500

Five werewolves = x 1,000

Five frankensteins = x 1,000

Five tomb stones = x 666

Five pumpkins = x 250

Five zombies = x 150

Five Edgar Allan Poe = x 100

Five witches = x 65

Five skeletons = x 55

Paylines can be maxed out to a total of 20.

Scary Rich Bonus Features

Scary Rich only has one dedicated bonus game (free spins) but there’s also an expanding wild in the mix.

Let’s explore.

Expanding Wild

The vampire wild is responsible for the biggest wins (paying x10,000 for 5) but she has another exciting feature. If the symbol lands on the first, second or third reel it will expand, covering the whole of the reel. That, of course, can change a round quite considerably and award some larger prizes.

Free Spins

The bandage wrapped Frankenstein looks a little worse for wear, but he nonetheless awards free spins if you can land enough of him. You’ll need 3, and from then on things get even more interesting. Expanding wilds are carried over into free spins but they now also offer multipliers. Land 1 wild for a x2 multiplier, 2 for x3 and 3 for x4.

Scary Rich Review - Final Thoughts

Scary Rich is anything but scary. Beneath its hammer horror theme lurks some appealing features, especially the expanding wild. The presence of this feature in the base game makes every spin more exciting and means that you don’t have to wait for a dedicated bonus to have some fun!

Of course, free spins give players something to aim for, and the round is even better with the addition of multipliers. Scary Rich doesn’t include many bonus features, but Rival Gaming perfects what is on offer.

A final word must go to the design, however. It’s hard to carry off the horror theme but Scary Rich does it beautifully. The comic book look of the symbols works brilliantly with the hammer horror vibe to create a slot experience that lives long in the memory.

Horror fans can ramp up the fear levels still further on the Beetlejuice Megaways slot.
