Lucky Riches Demo Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you love the ambient gameplay of Starburst, you might see its influence on the reels of Lucky Riches. But whereas Starburst is all about outer space, this game is firmly based on planet earth. More specifically, it takes inspiration from the earliest slots, when bars, bells and Lucky Number 7s were the principal symbols on the reels. It’s a classic theme that’s been around for years, so you might reasonably expect this to be just another take on a retro favourite.

But this is a Microgaming slots game, so there was never a chance that it was going to be anything other than stunning. This is a software developer that knows exactly how to craft the perfect slots game. Lucky Riches may not turn out to be your all-time favourite, but you’ll certainly be impressed by its quality. Just like the popular Wild Frames online slot, Lucky Riches manages to turn a classic genre on its head.

Graphics & Soundtrack

The symbols on the reels of Lucky Riches are instantly familiar to all of us. But here they’ve been given that Microgaming flourish, so the execution is absolutely faultless. Typical playing card icons are joined on the reels by 7s, bars and bells, and there are some casino chips to add a little extra pizazz.

The backing track is cool, funky, and a little bit jazzy too. It’s the perfect accompaniment to the game, and the way game sounds integrate into the music is exceptionally well done. There are some perfectly executed animations too, that really make this game stand out. It’s particularly good fun to watch the winning cash prizes dive down from the screen and leap across to be added to your credit balance!

RTP & Volatility

The stated RTP of Lucky Riches comes in at 96.52% during the base game. But if you decide to activate the Hyperspins feature, this rises to an extremely generous 97.49%. This gives a tiny house edge of just 2.51%, which is almost unheard of for an online slots game. But don’t expect to retire early on the proceeds of any winnings. This is a low-volatility game, so although the prizes can come in thick and fast, the sums of money involved aren’t going to be life changing!

How to Play Lucky Riches

1 Select the amount of your wager per spin.

2 Hit the Spin button.

3 To access the rules, paytable and settings options, hit the hamburger menu at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.

4 An Autoplay function is accessed via the arrow above Spin, but this feature will deactivate Hyperspins.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

There’s an excellent range of wagering options. You can play Lucky Riches from as little as 0.25 per spin, rising to a maximum of 125.00 per spin.

Scatters don’t just trigger the Free Spins bonus round. They also come with an associated payout, and you only need to land two of them to win back your stake. Spin up 3, 4 or 5 and you’ll win 2x, 10x and 100x your stake respectively.

Other symbols on the paytable pay out the following amounts for landing 3, 4 or 5 in a winning combination:

9, 10 = 0.08x 0.4x, 4x

J, Q = 0.16x, 0.80x, 6x

K, A = 0.20x, 1.20x, 8x

Dice = 0.40, 4x, 20x

Bell = 0.60x 6x, 40x

Bar = 0.80x, 8x, 80x

The two highest-paying symbols pay out cash prizes for landing just two on the reels:

Casino chips = 0.20x, 1x, 10x, 100x

7s = 0.40x, 1,60x, 16x, 160x

Bonus Features & Free Spins

The game’s logo icon is Wild, so substitutes for all other symbols, apart from the Scatter, to help create winning combinations. But there are two other bonus features in Lucky Riches.

Hyperspins

You can choose to pay to spin any reel, in the hope of conjuring up a winning line. This is a great option where you almost have a winning combination. The cost of every Hyperspin depends on how much is at stake - potential high-value combinations require more of an investment than low-value ones.

Free Spins

Three or more Scatters awards 15 Free Spins, during which a 3x Multiplier is activated. And Free Spins can be retriggered multiple times, so there are plenty of chances to scoop a cash prize. You’ll also receive a Scatter Pays award too, which will boost your balance even further.

Max-win 480x

Overall Review

It’s fair to say that Lucky Riches may not appeal to everyone, but we loved it. In our opinion it’sthe perfect game to while away some time, thanks to the ambient soundtrack and relaxing colour scheme. But the Hyperspins really make the game stand out for us. Use them or not, as you wish. But if you plan ahead and use the feature with care, it can lead to some very decent wins. You won’t make a fortune, but you’ll certainly have fun playing this engaging game.
