Rich Roll: Lust for Gold

Rich Roll: Lust for Gold is a pirate-themed video slot developed by Rarestone Gaming for Playtech. The game features a 5×3 reel layout with 30 paylines and takes players on a swashbuckling adventure in search of hidden treasures.

The visual design of the slot is colorful and cartoonish, effectively capturing the pirate theme. The reels are set against a backdrop of tropical islands and blue waters. Symbols on the reels include lower-paying card royals (J, Q, K, A) and higher-paying themed icons such as an anchor, compass, cannon, treasure map, and a pirate's parrot. Landing 5 of the same lower-paying symbols awards 1.60x the bet, while 5 of the higher-paying symbols can pay between 2x and 6x the bet.

The Wild symbol in the game is represented by a Pirate Captain. It substitutes for all regular symbols to help form winning combinations, excluding the Ship and Dice symbols.

The main attraction of Rich Roll: Lust for Gold is the Rich Roll Feature. This bonus game is triggered when a Ship Symbol lands on reel 1 simultaneously with at least one Dice Symbol anywhere else on the reels. Players are awarded one dice roll for each Dice Symbol that appears, with the number of rolls displayed in the Dice Meter.

During the Rich Roll Feature, players move along a river trail based on their dice rolls. The feature includes several exciting sub-features:

• Multiplier: Awards the displayed number multiplied by the total bet.
• Treasure Chest Sub-Feature: When the ship stops at a treasure chest, players choose from 5 prize cards revealing multipliers between 5x and 30x the total bet.
• Free Games Sub-Feature: Triggered when the ship stops at a bell, awarding 6, 8, or 10 free spins. During free spins, any Wild symbol that lands expands to fill the entire reel.
• Volcano Sub-Feature: Activated when the ship reaches the volcano at the end of the trail. It erupts to award a random multiplier prize between 25x and 1000x the current bet.

The game boasts high volatility and an RTP of 95.89%, slightly below the industry average. The hit frequency is 33%, providing a good balance of regular wins to maintain player engagement. With a maximum win potential of 2080x the bet, Rich Roll: Lust for Gold offers substantial winning opportunities for lucky players.

An interesting aspect of this slot is its multi-layered bonus feature. The Rich Roll Feature not only provides an engaging gameplay experience but also incorporates several sub-features, each offering different ways to win. This variety in bonus mechanics adds depth to the game and keeps players invested in the pirate adventure.
