SYMBOLS FROM WINNING COMBINATIONS WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED BY NEW ONES ON RAINBOW RICHES MEGAWAYS™

Megaways™ slots that offer 117,649 paylines tend to feature cascading reels, and this is once again the case with Rainbow Riches Megaways™. This exciting element of the game is where any symbols that are part of a winning combination are removed from the reels, new symbols will then drop down, or slide across on the upper reel, to give you the opportunity of making further winning connections. This can give you some decent wins during the base game play, and keep your balance ticking over nicely.

Super Gem Bonus

The Super Gem Can Appear On The Upper Reel On Rainbow Riches Megaways™

All Gems Will Be Transformed Into A Random Symbol If The Super Gem Appears On Rainbow Riches Megaways™
ALL GEMS WILL BE TRANSFORMED INTO A RANDOM SYMBOL IF THE SUPER GEM APPEARS ON RAINBOW RICHES MEGAWAYS™

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 that are on the game reels will all transform into the same random 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™.

Rainbow Riches Megaways™ Free Spin Feature

4 Or More Scatter Symbols Will Trigger The Bonus Round On Rainbow Riches 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 with 12 free spins, and any additional scatters you land to trigger the bonus will add an extra 5 spins to your bonus round.

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 reach the 20s.

Although this bonus can’t actually 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.

Feature Buy

The Bonus Can Be Bought On Rainbow Riches Megaways™ For 100x Your Stake
THE BONUS CAN BE BOUGHT ON RAINBOW RICHES MEGAWAYS™ FOR 100X YOUR STAKE

Rainbow Riches Megaways™ offers players the chance to buy the bonus, and this will come at the cost of 100x your stake. There are however a couple of extra parts to this that makes it a little more interesting.

If you wish to take a chance on the pie gamble then you can adjust the size of this and the potential amount it will cost you to trigger the bonus. For a quarter of the pie to be a winning possibility it will cost you 25x your stake to gamble, for a half chance of the pie to offer a win it will cost you 50x your stake, and for three quarters of the pie to offer a winning opportunity it will cost you x75 your stake to play.

You can also choose to reduce the cost of buying the feature, and to do this you will need to adjust the bank wins button that is displayed on the screen. You can select to bank small wins, or all wins, and these will be put into the discount pot, and if you then choose to buy a feature or gamble on the pie, this will be deducted accordingly.

It should be noted that the bonus buy feature on Rainbow Riches Megaways™ will only be visible to those who are playing from a region where feature buys are still allowed.

Rainbow Riches Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts

Over the years there have been various games released with the Rainbow Riches theme, so it was only a matter of time until it got the Megaways™ makeover as well. There are a lot of similarities to other slots already released in the Megaways™ series, but it does still hold some of its charm from the original released all those years ago, and there are a few little extras added in such as the super gem bonus and discount feature option to keep it fresh.

Lovers of the original game might be disappointed not to see the Leprechaun or wishing wells, and compared to other Megaways™ games some may get frustrated at how long the cascading symbols take to drop down, and the slowness of the slot in general.

An absolute must slot to try if you’ve played everything else that is Rainbow Riches, if you’re purely about the Megaways™ it’s likely this isn’t going to cut the mustard with you.
