It feels like just yesterday that I was writing about a different ‘luck of the Irish’ themed online slot by Pragmatic Play, and yet today, we have another one! Wild Wild Riches (Luck of the Irish) Megaways features the usual imagery – four-leaved clovers, jars of Guinness, toadstools and the like, but it’s all beautifully presented and is backed up with an impressive feature set, too. The game offers a maximum of 117,649 payways alongside a 96.02% RTP, whilst the top win of 10,000x is double that of the earlier release (Clover Gold) that I referred to a moment ago. It sounds like a good start, but what else is new?
First, the wild symbols work a little differently in this game than you might expect – they only appear on reels one and two for a start. A single bonus scatter appears on reel three only, and you’ll need to land this simultaneously as both wilds to trigger the main bonus round. Reels three, four, and five include pots of gold – known as money symbols – which work together in conjunction with the wild symbols on reels one and two to award jackpot prizes ranging up to a maximum of 250x the total bet. The main bonus round can also be triggered instantly from the base game at the cost of 100x the normal price per spin.
This machine is sure to be of interest to those who enjoy Irish-themed online slots such as the popular Rainbow Riches franchise – check it out for yourself with our free demo slot of Wild Wild Riches Megaways, available to play below.

Wild Wild Riches Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Irish-themed slots such as Luck’o’the Irish Big Bonus tend to be extremely green, and Wild Wild Riches Megaways is no exception. The game has great presentation, but it’s a shame that Pragmatic Play hasn’t made more of an effort to differentiate it visually from their previous similar releases – you could easily mistake this game for at least two or three others that the developer has published in the past.
The highest-paying symbol on the paytable is a pint of beer, but it still only pays 10x the total bet for a full payway of six of a kind. All symbols, including the beers, appear stacked on the reels, meaning that you can at least win on a whole bunch of payways simultaneously. A horseshoe takes the second-place spot with a return of 2.5x the bet for all six symbols, followed by a four-leaved clover at 2x for a complete payway. The three remaining high pays are a harp, toadstool, and pipe, and all these share identical payouts of 1.5x the bet for a six of a kind combination. The low-paying royals are divided into two groups; the Ace, King, and Queen return 1x the bet, whilst the Jack and Ten pay slightly less at 0.5x for a complete payway.
Two controls on either side of the spin button allow you to independently change coin value, bet, and total bet amounts. This permits you to play from the minimum bet of €0.20 up to a maximum of €100.00 per spin. Of course, there is a huge range of stakes to play between these two bet sizes, so regardless of your starting bankroll, there will be something for you to choose comparable to it in this slot.
Base Game & Modifiers
Wild Wild Riches may look slightly different to other Megaways games as there is no horizontal reel, but it works just the same under the hood. There are six reels, each of which can be divided into between two and seven rows on each spin, equating to the same 117,649 payway count as other slots that feature a horizontal reel.
Fortunately, it’s not all just more of the same – the way the special symbols work here is quite unique, making the game a lot more interesting than it might otherwise be.
Money Collect Feature
The ‘money symbol’ shows a pot of gold and can appear only on reels three, four, and five. On every spin, the money symbol takes a random value from a pre-defined set of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, and 20x.
Whenever wild symbols hit on reels one and two, as well as adjacent money symbols on reels three through six, the values of all money symbols are collected.
When a payway consisting of money symbols reaches reel six, a win-boosting multiplier of up to 5x can be applied to the total win. Alternatively, one of four jackpots may be awarded instead: the MINI at 25x, MINOR at 50x, MEGA at 100x, or MAXI at 250x.
Wild Wild Riches Megaways Slot Bonus Features
The main bonus round is triggered by hitting a wild symbol on reels one and two simultaneously as a single bonus scatter on reel three. Before the round starts, a wheel of fortune is displayed with segments for 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, or 20 free spins.
Gamble Feature
After a random number of spins is awarded (and the number is below 20), you can choose to gamble to win additional free spins if you are unhappy with the total won.
The odds of winning this gamble change from one circumstance to the next, as follows
- When gambling from 6 to 7 free spins, the chance to win is 85.71%
- When gambling from 7 to 8 free spins, the chance to win is 87.51%
- When gambling from 8 to 10 free spins, the chance to win is 80.01%
- When gambling from 10 to 12 free spins, the chance to win is 83.30%
- When gambling from 12 to 15 free spins, the chance to win is 80.04%
- When gambling from 15 to 18 free spins, the chance to win is 83.33%
- When gambling from 18 to 20 free spins, the chance to win is 89.99%
Free Spins
The bonus round plays out identically to the base game, although the paytable does suggest that the reel strips feature a large number of additional wilds and money symbols during this part of the game.
Hitting a wild on reels one and two simultaneously as a single bonus scatter on reel three will add six extra free spins to your remaining total.
Bonus Buy
If you get fed up waiting for the free spins to occur naturally, a bonus buy facility is available at the cost of 100x the normal price per spin. This will instantly transport you to the wheel of fortune, where the number of awarded free spins will be decided just as if you had reached the feature organically.
Wild Wild Riches Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
For all its similarities to previous Irish slots from Pragmatic Play, Wild Wild Riches is a definite improvement thanks to its more extensive feature set and boosted maximum win of 10,000x the total bet.
