Rich Diwali Slot Review

Celebrated by billions of people around the world every year, the festival of Diwali is exactly the kind of iconic event that makes an ideal subject for a video slot. Our Rich Diwali slot review will cover just how KA Gaming took the lights, music and food that traditionally mark this occasion and shaped them into a three-reel format where the eight paylines are joined by features galore.

Theme

Festival of Lights

We’ve all seen Christmas-themed slots before, so it’s nice to see KA Gaming taking a more global attitude by featuring one of the biggest Indian festivals in its Rich Diwali slot. Diwali is mostly associated with Hinduism, but Sikhs, Jains and some Buddhists also celebrate the festival of lights, a time when light overcomes darkness and good conquers evil and ignorance is defeated by knowledge.

There are lots of stories about the origins of Diwali. In Hinduism, one of the main ones is the epic story of Rama and how he rescued his wife Sita from the demonic Ravana. The lights were what allowed him to find his way home. In Sikhism, Diwali marks the release of Guru Hargobind from prison. For Jains, it’s the death and liberation of the supreme preacher Mahavira. Those Buddhists who celebrate, mostly in Nepal, use it as a time to worship the goddess Lakshmi.

Let’s Celebrate

Just as there are different origins for Diwali, the exact details of the celebrations may vary, but they generally involve bright lights, colourful decorations and the sharing of sweets (called mithai) and gifts. That’s clear on the reels of the Rich Diwali slot, where fireworks, candles, lanterns and mithai join more familiar symbols like a pot of gold. There are no generic cards or gems here. The music and background artwork are Indian in style too.

Rich Diwali RTP and Variance

Return to player, or RTP, is the average return for every 100 you bet, calculated over many, many (normally millions and millions) of spins. Now as you probably realise, you’re not going to be spinning millions and millions of time, so your results may appear a little less average. That’s normal, and it’s the unpredictability that makes slots fun.

We remind you of this because, like many a KA Gaming free play slot, Rich Diwali has an RTP of only 94%, which isn’t great for your payout potential. We’d prefer the 96.45% of the Fat Rabbit slot.

Of course, slots with free play and demo mode mean you don’t have to worry about returns as much. They also give you the chance to get a feel for the frequency of wins, as the official variance information for Rich Diwali hasn’t been released.

How to Play Rich Diwali

Just follow the lights:

1. Go in with a budget in mind. Know how much you can afford to lose, what you’d be happy to win, and when you’ll stop.
2. KA Gaming nudge you in the right direction by opening the bet window automatically on loading the base game. Pick a sustainable level that suits your budget and taste for risk.
3. For the most in-depth guide to rules, features and the value of winning symbols, check out the paytable by using the info button.
4. The menu, with its buttons for sound, full screen and game history, is in the top corner.
5. There’s a spin button at the centre of the screen. Click it and watch the reels turn, or hold it down and choose a number of automatic spins. Then hope you find some winning symbols.
6. If you want to change your bet again at any point, use new bet or max bet.
7. Have fun! Don’t forget to play responsibly.

How to Win at Rich Diwali

Rich Diwali is like most slots: winning symbols are those that form a consecutive line from left to right across one of the designated paylines. There are eight paylines in all, which isn’t many and perhaps a reflection of the fact there are only three reels.

Top Symbols

You’ll see nine symbols in total on the paytable. The highest paying of the regular symbols is the palace, with a win multiplier of 8.5x your bet. The wild, however, as well as its special function as a substitute, has a win multiplier of x11. There is no scatter symbol.

Bet Range

In the Rich Diwali slot, the minimum bet is 0.40 and the maximum bet is 1600.00. A higher bet could mean a higher total win, but it also means you’re more likely to lose more money.

Max-win 880x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 94.00%

Rich Diwali Bonuses

Technically, the Rich Diwali slot has just one bonus round, the Luck Coming feature, but it’s actually full of different exciting extras. Let’s take a look:

Lucky Coming Feature

This starts when you find three stacked wilds in a single reel during the base game. That stack of wilds will become sticky and remain in place for a free re-spin. It doesn’t end there, though. There are two possible result after the re-spin. You may find a winning combination, in which case the feature ends. Every time your spin is unsuccessful, your multiplier increases, starting at 2x and going as high as 10x.

Rich Diwali Review - Our Verdict

You don’t have to be someone who celebrates Diwali to appreciate the Rich Diwali slot. The colours and music make for a radiant experience, and to call the Rich Diwali bonus features multi-layered is an understatement. Re-spins, sticky wilds and increasing multipliers? It more than makes up for the RTP.
