Rainbow Riches Retro Slot Review

Rainbow Riches Retro is an upgrade on the original game, which has been around since 2009. Cheery leprechauns lead you on the road to riches, with wishing wells and pots of gold littering the way as a scatter symbol.

The base game is played with three reels that have three rows. Players can choose how many lines are in play and adjust their wager in a wide spread. There is a wild that substitutes for all standard winning symbols, but it cannot replace any of the scatter symbols. There are three of these, each of which triggers its respective feature.

The leprechaun enters you into the Road to Riches round, which involves spinning a wheel to land a win multiplier of up to x500. The Wishing Well scatter symbol only lands on three reels, so you need all of them to trigger this feature. Pick a well symbol to reveal your win multiplier. Finally, three or more Pots of Gold trigger their feature, which involves three pots circling before one is randomly selected.

Theme

No prizes for guessing the Irish theme of this game, with a rainbow, leprechaun and pots of gold in evidence!

Symbols

The wild is a gold coin, and the scatters have a fun, albeit unoriginal, design.

Soundtrack

Again, the soundtrack is not a surprise. It sounds similar to many of the others used in Irish-themed slots, but this time, it is an electronic version. You can mute it if you don't enjoy it.

Rainbow Riches Retro RTP & Variance

The game has an official RTP of 95%.

How to Win at Rainbow Riches Retro

Bet Ways

The bet ways are adjustable, and you can select between 1 and 20 to be active. Players need to land just two of the high-value symbols on consecutive reels from the leftmost or three of the other symbols to form a winning line.

Winning Symbols

The Rainbow Riches Retro slot has seven winning symbols in the game, including the wild. The game logo is the top-value symbol, paying x500 the line bet when five land.

Rainbow Riches Retro Bonuses

Here we look at some of the Rainbow Riches Retro bonus features in more detail.

There are three scatter symbols, and each triggers a different feature when three land; two of the symbols can appear on all the reels. The features are:

• Road to Riches


• Wishing Well


• Pots of Gold

In Road to Riches, players spin a wheel to see how many steps they take on the path. Players receive a multiplier of their stake indicated on the position they land. In the Wishing Well feature, players are presented with three wells to choose from and are awarded a stake multiplier on the one they reveal. Finally, Pots of Gold involves three pots circling and landing against an arrow. They are labelled Gold, Silver and Bronze, and each will reveal a stake multiplier when it lands.

Rainbow Riches Retro Review Summary

Design

You might have thought that the designer might have tweaked the visuals of the game in the reboot, but Light and Wonder have decided that the maxim “If it isn't broken, don’t fix it” should apply here. The game looks exactly like the original game, which seems like a missed opportunity.

Features

The game has the same three main features, alongside a wild gold coin that pays and substitutes for all the standard winning symbols but not the scatter symbols. These are fun, but they are all capped at the same level when they come into play. Again, this seems a little disappointing for players.

Overall

We were a little disappointed that the designer did not choose to add another feature in the game, but if you enjoyed the original, you will have fun with this edition, too.

Now that you have had time to digest this review, you may be interested in viewing more Light & Wonder slots, which you will find here at Slots Temple.
