Rainbow Riches Megaways

Barcrest’s Rainbow Riches Megaways slot is just like the original with the Megaways twist. The Megaways engine amps up the ways to win and provides more win potential to players.

The slot has the same look and feel as the first one, and many of the same features. Rainbow Riches Megaways is still played on 6 reels with 7 lines, so the setup is a little different than the original.

But the additional reel brings more fun to the occasion. The game is all about the bonus features which can offer some splendid payouts. The Rainbow Riches free spins feature is famously rewarding and with the added high paying symbols, you can really reap the rewards.

The game has an average of 95.90% RTP and an eye-popping maximum prize of up to 12,500x the stake. This Irish slot is packed out with rewarding payments with cascading wins, wilds, super gem bonus, buy feature, bonus bank feature and an unlimited multiplier feature.

Barcrest has very much stuck to what they know, keeping all the basics of the Rainbow Riches slot in place, but have boosted the payout potential and added a dash more of excitement with the Megaways structure.

Design

If you’re a fan of the first game, you will be pleased to see a very familiar design. This video slot is strikingly similar to the original with a sweeping green meadow, blue skies and a rainbow pleasantly dominating the sky. Of course, there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow too. The 6-reels are pleasantly presented on the screen and do not take up the entire screen. It allows plenty of space around, so it doesn’t feel too ‘in your face’.

The reels are surrounded by a gold border and the symbols on the reels really pop with colour. The bright and colourful slot has an assortment of gems and numbers as the symbols. When the wins come in, so do the jingle-jangle animations and the lucky leprechaun may even bust out a cheeky dance for you. There are plenty of pleasing visuals and a catchy background soundtrack to keep the excitement levels up.

Gameplay

Rainbow Riches Megaways has an intuitive set-up that makes it a breeze to play and control. The 6 reels are well-sized and very clear, beneath the reels is the Megaways number. On the right of the reels is the spin control and beneath that, you have the auto-spins control where you can set up to 100 auto spins. You will also find the information button here that provides a breakdown of the symbols and features.

The left of the reels includes the bet amount control where you can set your bet from £0.20 up to £20, making it a suitable choice for low budget casino players. Beneath the reels is a footer that displays the real money balance, win amount and bet amount. Overall, the gameplay is very familiar and the performance is incredibly smooth with no lag.

Win potential

Rainbow Riches Megaways is a medium to high variance slot with a 95.90% RTP, which is very much the industry average. However, the max payout amount of 12,500x the stake sets this slot apart from most other video slots. The Megaways engines mean the game has cascading reels so any win can potentially turn into another without using another spin.

Although the game is packed with high paying symbols, such as the horseshoe wild, it’s the bonus features that really ramp up the payouts and there is no shortage of bonus features!

Our Verdict

Rainbow Riches Megaways plays like the much-loved original that gained so many fans, but this time it's been built with a Megaways engine. This revamped version adds what the original was missing - a decent free spins feature and cascading wins.

The slot is very inviting with plenty of charm and colour, not to mention the huge number of bonus extras. This popular video slot has everything you could want in a casino game, big wins, lots of bonuses and entertainment in abundance.
