Four-leaf covers, leprechauns, pints of Guinness and pots of gold at the end of a rainbow, yes, fellow slotters from around the globe, that kind of lingo can only mean one thing, another Irish-themed slot to talk about. Today’s offering comes in the form of Pragmatic Play’s Rainbow Reels slot, a 5-reel game with 40 fixed paylines, a respectable RTP of 96.07%, and a maximum win of 5,000x bet.
It’s always nice to see a new concept integrated into an online game, and Pragmatic’s Rainbow Reels slot introduces us to the 7 layers feature, where all positions on the playfield have up to 7 layers to them. Each time a symbol is involved in a win, the next layer will be revealed, which produces a random symbol from the paytable. This in-game mechanic is enhanced when you trigger the free spins feature by landing a minimum of three scatters in view. During this bonus, when the last layer is reached, it is guaranteed to reveal a wild that can remain in place and be a part of a winning combo up to 13 times!

Rainbow Reels Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Unless you’re entirely new to slots, you’ll have almost certainly played at least a handful of Irish-themed games, whether at a land-based casino or an online slot site. We have a few personal favourites here at Demoslot that we recommend you try out with SG Gaming’s iconic Rainbow Riches worth a look if you like something a little more old school, and Luck O’ The Irish Big Bonus from Blueprint Gaming, another fantastic slot in the niche that’s worthy of some spin time. Let’s get to today’s review though, and find out what you can expect pay-wise in Pragmatic Play’s Rainbow Reels slot.
Kicking things off at the top of the paytable and the most valuable symbol in the game, we have the leprechaun valued at 10x the bet for a five of a kind win. Next is the hat worth 7.5x, followed by the shoes at 6.25x, then there’s the horseshoe paying 5x, a jug of beer worth 3.75x, and finally, the pipe paying 3x bet for a winning line of five. The low pays are represented by the industry standard royals, with the Ace paying 2.5x, the King worth 2x, then the Queen at 1.75x, a Jack paying 1.5x, and last of all, the Ten valued at 1.25x for a five of a kind hit. The slot also features a wild symbol, the rainbow, which can land on all reels substituting for all other symbols and paying 10x the bet for a winning line of five.
Pragmatic continues with what seems to be their new betting structure, so we have a minimum bet of €0.20 and the maximum stake on Rainbow Reels reaching up to €240 a spin. Previously, Pragmatic maxed their bets out at €120, so I’m not sure why they have made such a drastic increase; surely, stakes of €100+ are enough for even the highest rollers.
Rainbow Reels Slot Base Game
The Rainbow Reels slot is played on a 5×4 reel matrix, so you could perhaps be expecting a large number of ways to win. However, despite the enlarged playfield, the game has just 40 fixed paylines. Matching at least three symbols from left to right will award you the corresponding win from the paytable.
Seven Layers
In the game, all positions on the playfield have 7 layers. The initial result of a spin shows the topmost layer. Whenever a symbol is part of a winning combination, it disappears, and the next layer, containing a random symbol, is revealed under it. This continues until the last layer is reached on that position, as long as symbols are part of winning combinations. After the symbol on the last layer disappears, the position remains empty.
Rainbow Reels Slot Bonus Features
There are bonus scatter symbols on every reel in the Rainbow Reels slot, and landing three or more in view will trigger the free spins feature and award you with 12 spins to begin with.
Free Spins Feature
During the free spins on the last layer of every position, there are guaranteed wild symbols. These wilds have a counter showing how many times they can be part of winning combination before they disappear, which is a random value between 3 and 13. If players hit 3 or more scatters in the feature, the bonus will be re-triggered, and 6 extra spins will be awarded.
Bonus Buy
If the bonus buy button is active in your location, you can instantly trigger the free spins round at the cost of 100x the current bet.
Pros
- It's always good to see a new feature, and the 7 layers could be interesting going forward.
Cons
- Pragmatic seems to be stuck on maximum wins of 5,000x of late. Would it really hurt to up these to 10k?
Final Thoughts
Pragmatic creates and releases more slots than most, so you often have huge swings ranging from outstanding games to utter trash. Rainbow Reels falls somewhere in between, and although the new 7 layers feature is intriguing, I'm not sure it will do enough to hold a player's interest for long.
