Rainbow Riches Pick N Mix Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols
The bright and cheerful reel set is set on the rolling green hills of Ireland, where a golden path will lead you to a place of untold riches along the coastlands of the Emerald Isle. The Irish ditty accompanies the bright visuals and adds to the general upbeat ambience of the game.
The friendly Leprechaun from the original Rainbow Riches slots is back, but he offers you much more bang for your buck in this pick n mix game variant.Â
The base game is occupied by very few game symbol variants. In fact, the only standard symbol aside from the generic card deck symbols (10, J, Q, K, and A) is the Rainbow Riches Logo icon. There are however several special game symbols. These include:
The Wild Symbol: Represented by a big Gold Coin, the Wild will substitute for all standard gaming symbols, to complete combinations.
There are 5 different scatter symbols. Each is used to trigger its own unique bonus round. These include a portrait of a leprechaun, a leprechaun with a rainbow, a pot of gold, a free spin bonus icon and toadstools.Â
Special Features
At the start of the game, you are able to choose up to 3 of 5 bonus features that you would like to be able to trigger throughout the course of the game. These scatters will then pop up in the base game as you play. The fewer features you choose the more likely you are of triggering them. You can also change the features during the game if they are not working out for you.
Each of the special features are triggered by either 3 or 4 relevant scatter symbols, except the free spin bonus, which can be triggered by 3, 4, or 5 symbols.
Road to Riches Feature
3 or 4 Leprechaun facial portrait symbols on the screen will trigger this game. You will be able to spin a bonus wheel that can win you bet multipliers. Continue to collect them until the wheel lands on collect. Whatever the value of multipliers you have collected will be applied to your roll.
Pots of Gold Feature
To trigger this feature, you will need to land 3 or 4 pot of gold scatters on the reels. Hereafter, several pots will fly around the screen. One of the pots will be randomly picked by the game and will award you a multiplier prize to boost your bankroll.
Free Spins
Here, 3, 4, or 5 free spin bonus symbols landing on reels 1, 3, or 5  will trigger 10, 20, or 30 free spins respectively. What’s more, is that the free spin symbol will be stacked on reel 1 and frozen in place throughout the course of the feature. It will double as an extra Wild to substitute for standard symbols and help produce decent combination wins.
The game can be re-triggered by landing 3 or more free spin scatters on the reels again.
Cash Crop
Should you land 3 or 4 of the Leprechauns with the Rainbow symbols anywhere on the screen, you will be taken to a page with 50 spinning coins. You can pick from the coins to reveal instant cash prizes. After each selection, you will have to spin a coin to reveal whether you must COLLECT your prizes and leave the feature, or GO ON and select another coin for a further prize.
The game will continue up to 3 rounds, with prize values increasing with every level that you manage to play.
Magic Toadstool
This feature is triggered by landing 3 or 4 toadstool bonus icons on the reel set. Pick 3 of 24 toadstools on display to win either bet multiplier prizes or a fairy. If you manage to find a fairy, she will grant you another wish of 3 more toadstool selections.
Big Bet Game
There is a shortcut to playing the bonuses, but it will cost you extra. Simply hit the BIG BET purple button on the right-hand side.Â
You will then be taken to a screen with 3 wheels on it. Each of the wheels will represent one of the 3 features you chose at the beginning of the game. You can then select one of the wheels and spin it. The wheel will have two portions, a green segment and a rainbow coloured segment. Land on the rainbow colour and you will trigger the chosen bonus. If you land on the green portion, you will not trigger the round, but will instead be awarded 5 Mega Spins that come loaded with enhanced prizes.
A great tip to increasing your chances of triggering your feature here is to up your bet, as increasing the wager increased the rainbow segment on the wheels.
Jackpots
The game jackpot is calculated as the maximum win available on a single payline on a spin. In this game, that amount equates to 500x your line bet (12,500 on a max bet of 25 per line or 500 total bet).
The maximum exposure in the game is a win of 250,000 per spin, thanks to multiple win lines.
