Rainbow Riches Pots of Gold is an online slot game that carries on the legacy of the popular Rainbow Riches franchise by Barcrest (now owned by SG Gaming/Light & Wonder). This franchise includes titles like Rainbow Riches Pick n Mix, Rainbow Riches Reels of Gold, and Rainbow Riches Cluster Magic. Rainbow Riches Pots of Gold features a lighthearted Irish theme with a charming leprechaun mascot and a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The game offers a familiar and straightforward slot experience with a touch of bonus potential.
The slot uses a standard 5×3 reel layout with 20 fixed paylines. The lower-value symbols consist of playing card symbols (10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace) designed in a Celtic font. The higher-value symbols include mushrooms, harps, wellington boots, and four-leaf clovers. The most valuable symbol is the Rainbow Riches logo, awarding a payout for two or more symbols on a payline.
The Wild symbol, represented by a gold coin, substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter to complete winning combinations. The Scatter symbol, depicted as a golden pot, is the key to triggering the game's bonus feature.
Pots of Gold Bonus:
Landing 3 or 4 scatters anywhere on the reels activates the Pots of Gold Bonus. This is a pick-me style bonus where twelve golden pots surround a dancing leprechaun. Each pot holds a multiplier prize. Players choose a pot, revealing their multiplier reward, which is applied to their total bet. The value of the multipliers increases depending on how many scatters triggered the bonus. Three or four scatters award bronze prizes (ranging from 30x to 1,000x the bet), while five scatters unlock the Super Bonus.
The Super Bonus removes the lower-paying bronze prizes and offers the chance to win even bigger multipliers, ranging from 50x to a maximum win of 5,000x the total bet.
An interesting feature of Rainbow Riches Pots of Gold is the Mega Drop Network jackpot. This progressive jackpot can be won at random on any base game spin. The jackpot pool is fed by players across multiple online casinos, and there are three tiers (Minor, Major, and Epic) with increasing payout amounts.
Overall, Rainbow Riches Pots of Gold provides a classic slot experience with a touch of Irish charm. While there are no free spins to be found, the Pots of Gold Bonus with its increasing multipliers and the chance to win a progressive jackpot add a layer of excitement to the gameplay.
