Introduction

Who doesn’t fancy a taste of the high life? Imagine how wonderful it would be to live a life filled with riches - it is no wonder that so many slots developers include ‘riches’ in the title! If you have explored Rainbow Riches and dug deep into the fascinating Piggy Riches online slot, Ricky Riches is another game for you to try.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

The 1920s were a time for celebration, with girls bobbing their hair, shortening their skirts and showing off some nifty footwork with a series of new dances, including the Charleston. Relax Gaming has set Ricky Riches in the art deco era, enabling its graphic design team to really go to town with some luxury symbols. It is all bright and shiny, with an atmospheric soundtrack that will soon have you tapping your toes.

Ricky Riches RTP & volatility

The RTP of 96 per cent is about average for an online slot; however, medium-high volatility makes it a risky prospect if you are playing with real money. Check how far your bankroll could take you by playing Ricky Riches as a Relax Gaming demo slot here at Slots Temple in the first instance. Set your budget, hit the autoplay button and find out whether you can land sufficient wins to keep you in the game.

How to play Ricky Riches

Ricky Riches has signposted the game controls so that it is very easy and intuitive to play:

1. Decide whether to activate the free spins booster in the top right-hand corner of the reels. This adds a little extra to the overall cost of a spin but promises up to four bonus features on the booster reel during the free spins bonus.

2. Select the cost of your spin using the buttons to either side of the bet window.

3. Press the spin button to play one game at your chosen stake.

4. For multiple automatic spins, tap on the autoplay button just to the right of the spin button. This will count down the number of spins remaining, but you can tap it again to end the feature early.

5. The menu button leads you to the game’s paytable and rules. You can also access the sound settings from here and speed up gameplay by activating turbo mode.

Bet sizes & paytable wins

Play from 0.30 to 120.00 per spin. This assumes you are playing with the free spins booster switched to the on position - wagering starts from just 0.25 per spin without this feature. As this is a Ways To Win game, there are no paylines; instead, winning symbols must occur on adjacent reels starting from the left, with cash payouts awarded as multiples of your total stake:

- Jack = 0.2x, 0.4x, 1x
- Queen = 0.2x, 0.4x, 1x
- King = 0.4x, 0.8x, 2x
- Ace = 0.4x, 0.8x, 2x
- Four-leaf clover = 0.8x, 2x, 6x
- Cherries = 1x, 3x, 10x
- Bar = 1.2x, 4x, 14x
- Red 7 = 1.6x, 6x, 24x
- Diamond = 2x, 8x, 40x

Ricky Riches bonus features & free spins

- Booster reel

A booster reel across the top of the game can deliver up to three bonus features with any spin. These are randomly awarded, offering wilds, wild reels, symbol multipliers and win multipliers either alone or in combination:

Random wilds - up to three wilds are added to reels two, three, four and five.
Wild reel - any reel from two to five becomes fully wild.
Symbol multiplier - all wins involving the selected symbol are multiplied 5x.
Win multiplier - the total win is multiplied by 2x or 7x.

- Free spins booster

Pay a little extra with your stake and switch on the free spins booster. This increases the booster reel during the free spins bonus and you can have up to four bonus features with each spin.

- Free spins bonus

To activate the free spins bonus, you will need to land at least three scatters anywhere on reels two, three and four. You will then be taken to a new screen where you are invited to pick a card to show the number of free spins you will receive. Next, you pick one of three cards to determine how many bonus features are guaranteed with each spin, from one to three. If you paid extra for the free spins booster, you would have up to four bonus features appearing with each spin. More free spins can be generated during the bonus feature round, so the winning potential is endless!

Overall review: our verdict

There is no denying that Ricky Riches is a beautifully designed online slots game. Stunning graphics and a Charleston-themed soundtrack create a fun vibe with some excellent winning potential. We had extremely high hopes of the booster reel, which generates loads of bonus modifiers; however, it is a shame that the modifiers made absolutely no difference to our wins most of the time. These multipliers look very tempting but are meaningless if they don’t add up to a winning spin.

This is the nature of slots gaming. Just because we hit an unlucky streak doesn’t mean that you will, but we advise caution when playing a game as volatile as this. Play it for free to get a feel for it before committing your cash.
