Rainbow Riches Megaways Demo (SG Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Those visiting us from the UK are likely familiar with the original Rainbow Riches slot, which has been around for a couple of decades and remains a popular game in land-based arcades and bookmakers. As the online scene exploded, it’s no surprise that SG Gaming added that slot to their online portfolio along with other releases that are part of the franchise. If you’re looking to explore some of those further, take a look at Rainbow Riches Rainbow Frenzy and Rainbow Riches Locomotion, two fantastic games in their own right.

Next, we move on to the pays section, where the diamond is the highest value symbol at the top of the paytable with a return of 50x for a six-of-a-kind win. This is followed by the orange gem at 7.5x, the purple and green gems at 2x, with the blue gem completing the premiums with a payout of 1.75x. Dropping to the lower pays, these are represented by the classic playing cards with the ace valued at 1.75x, the king and queen at 1x, the jack at 0.9x, and finally, the ten paying 0.8x for a winning combo of six. The game also features a self-titled wild symbol, which substitutes for all other regular symbols.

Those wishing to spin the reels for real money on Rainbow Riches Megaways can play for a minimum/maximum of €0.20/€20.

The gameplay on Rainbow Riches Megaways is played over a 6×7 reel configuration, with the game having the potential to spin in up to 117,649 ways to win on any spin. Winning combos are awarded when three matching symbols (two in the case of the diamond) land in any position on consecutive reels starting from the left-most reel first.

Cascading Reels

Each winning combo will trigger the cascading reels feature. This removes winning symbols from the reels and replaces them with new ones, giving you additional chances to win from the same spin.

Super Gem Bonus

The super gem symbol bonus is similar in some fashion to the mystery symbol we have previously seen on Blueprint slots like Vikings Unleashed Megaways. On Rainbow Riches Megaways, this super gem can appear on the upper reel, and if it does, then any other gems on the game reels will all transform into the same randomly chosen symbol from the paytable. So landing this when you have a lot of gems in play could lead to some serious base game hits, especially if you have a large amount of Megaways.

To trigger the free spin feature on Rainbow Riches Megaways, you will need to land 4 or more of the gold pot scatter symbols anywhere in view. Four scatters will award you 12 free spins, and any additional scatters you land to trigger the bonus will add 5 spins to your bonus round.

Free Spins Feature

As we have now seen on countless occasions with slots like Extra Chilli and Bonanza Megaways, successful winning cascades during the bonus round will increase your multiplier by x1. This multiplier has an unlimited amount it can reach, so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility to see this get into the 20s.

Although this bonus can’t be re-triggered, extra spins can be awarded and they will appear on the top row only. These come in the form of symbols marked +1, +2, and +3 and will add the amount of spins they display to your current total accordingly.

Bonus Buy

Rainbow Riches Megaways offers players the chance to buy the bonus, which will come at the cost of 100x your stake.
