Rainbow Riches Megaways Slot

Rainbow Riches is one of the most popular slot franchises ever released. While some find the lack of features a problem, others love the plain looks and simple mechanics that have the potential to lead to big rewards. Regardless of the side you pick, we can all agree that Rainbow Riches Megaways is one of the best slots in the series.

Developed by the legendary Barcrest, it's a Megaways version of the original slot with updated gameplay and visuals. It comes with the famous 117,649 ways to win. Playing the slot is simple, especially if you're familiar with what the original offered. The pinnacle occurs in the bonus round, where gems and super gems deliver additional spins and tumbles deliver the big bucks.

Available for free and real money right now in Gala Bingo, it’s time to revisit the green meadows and ride the Megaways tumbles.

Megaways slots look and feel more complex than regular online slots, but they’re very easy to spin once you get the hang of them. Rainbow Riches Megaways has the usual Megaways layout that we can describe as 6-7. Each reel has up to 7 symbols, and the varying number of symbols that appears on each one also affects the number of ways to win.

The clear diamond pays the most – 50x for five on a line. All other gems pay significantly less, including the card royals, which are at the bottom of the pay chain. There are other special symbols too, but they don't pay – they just activate features.

The reels are set against a plain green meadow, with a rainbow coming out of a pot o' gold from the left side. It's all Irish themed, as expected, with the only thing missing being the leprechaun. He's here alright, but you have to wait a while before he pops his head.

The controls are all in their usual spots, so you won't find it hard to play the Rainbow Riches Megaways slot at all. Adjust the bet to what you see fit first. The default is set to 2.00 per spin, but you can go between 0.20 and 20.00.

Each spin gives you a variable number of winning ways. Tumbles are active as in other Megaways slots. For those unaware, each win triggers a cascade where new symbols take the spot of winning ones, resulting in new winning opportunities. As long as wins are formed, the cascades will continue.

You'll see a horizontal reel on top of the others that can help complete winning combinations. It also houses the so-called Super Gems, which can trigger the bonus of the same name. When it lands, the Super Gem transforms all visible gems into a matching symbol, greatly improving your chances to win big.

When four or more pot o’ gold symbols are visible on the reels, you get 12 free spins. Any additional scatter gives you five extra spins. During the bonus round, +1, +2, and +3 golden symbols are visible on the top reel, adding to your tally. Cascades are also active, but this time, every win grows the global win multiplier by +1.

There’s no cap on the heights it can reach – the more cascades you score, the bigger the multiplier.

Cascades and the two bonuses are more than enough to take you to the maximum winning potential that doesn't exceed 250,000 coins.

Rainbow Riches Megaways is probably the best slot in the famous series. Barcrest outdid itself with this one where thousands of winning ways and Super Gems dictate the tempo alongside cascades. It’s a true delight for fans of the Irish genre, and a pretty rewarding slot game that can deliver the pot o’ gold timidly peeking from behind the rainbow.
