Rainbow Riches Megaways Slot

Graphics

The original Rainbow Riches slot is as vintage as they come, with bright graphics and a leprechaun guide. The graphics on show here are at least as bright, albeit with a few more sparkles and dustings of glitter. Fans of the original slot will recognise the lower-paying game symbols on Rainbow Riches Megaways as the 10s through Aces that were the complete game symbols in the original.

Now, however, we are also treated to high-paying game symbols in the shape of brightly coloured gems - the likes of which BTG put to excellent effect in its Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megaways slot.

Like other Megaways slots, winning combos disappear thanks to the game’s Cascading Symbols feature. New symbols appear in their place to create new wins and keep the adventure going.

Gameplay

The additional top reel that adds to our symbols to help make up the potential 117,649 ways to win also features Wild symbols that substitute for all other symbols except the Pots of Gold Scatters. These classic symbols are a nod to the original game, though as with all the other online slots in the Megaways series we need to land four of them to trigger the Free Spins bonus feature.

Those that play slots might be used to requiring three Scatters, though Scientific Games does make up for the additional Scatter requirement with the never-ending multiplier we enjoy with each cascade in the Free Spins feature. Though we only have an initial 12 free spins four landing four Pot Scatters, we earn five more free spins with each extra Scatter.

We also bag extra spins during the feature when additional Free Spins symbols appear on the top reel to keep our free spins adventure cascading on! During the base game we must also look out for the Super Gem Bonus symbol on the top reel. Landing this transforms all other gem symbols into the gem revealed by the Super Gem symbol, leading to super shiny winning combos.

Verdict

The original Rainbow Riches slot enjoyed three separate bonus games, each triggered with different Scatters.

While Rainbow Riches Megaways can’t say the same, it more than holds a candle up to the original slot thanks to its use of the Super Gem Bonus and the lucrative Free Spins bonus game and its never-ending multiplier. This slot truly does offer riches we would likely only find at the end of a rainbow!
