Rainbow Riches
Rainbow Riches
Light and Wonder’s Rainbow Riches slot is in that well-filled genre of Irish themed games and comes with a trio of bonus games, all with their own distinct flavours.
There is a big choice when it comes to slots dedicated to the Emerald Isle, and this game is probably the most famous of them all.
Rainbow Riches is up there with 9 Pots of Gold, Foxin’ Wins slot and Gonzo Quest in the top 100 slots of all time list!
Let’s head to the Blarney Stone and find out what it’s all about, shall we?
The Basics
Brassy bold and bright, Rainbow Riches comes with the Road to Riches, Wishing Well and Pot of Gold bonus games to give you a taste of the Leprechaun’s famed gold at the end of the rainbow.
The Graphics
Screenshot
A parade of bright colours like the Berryburst slot from NetEnt, the Rainbow Riches slot has a big rainbow stretching over the reels and a Celtic style golden frame setting the scene. It’s bright alright, and I don’t hear that much when I visit the Isle.
Well, it’s no surprise to see the kind of symbols that are so frequently found in Celtic themed games on the reels.
The graphics are high quality and the background sounds are a good fit with Irish jig playing in the background. In short, it’s a right craic!
Rainbow Riches Slot Game Play
Rainbow Riches slot is played on three rows, five reels and 20 pay-lines. This is one of the most famous Scientific Games slots of all time, and this is a tried and tested formula for them.
The Wild symbol is a golden coin with the profile of a Leprechaun, which substitutes for all icons except the bonus icons. The face of a grinning Leprechaun is the Road to Riches icon, the Wishing Well symbol is the Well and the Pots of Gold icon holds the gold at the end of the rainbow. All good!
The lower value icons are the Ace through 10 of the card deck in bright colours in Celtic style fonts.
Irish Bonuses
Rainbow Riches comes with a trio of Bonus games to spice up the game.
Road to Riches
Let’s get you on The Road to Somewhere shall we? This bonus game is triggered by landing three of the Leprechaun icons. You’ll be making a little journey up the wee road. There’s a wheel to spin, numbered 1 to 6. Spin the wheel and travel the path.
The path features different multipliers that you can win when you spin the wheel to progress. The final multiplier you land on will be your reward. Beware; if you land on a “Collect” symbol, your journey comes to an end.
Wishing Well
The Wishing Well Bonus is very straight forward. Land a trio of the Well icons and you activate the bonus game. Select one of the well icons that triggered the game and a multiplier will be revealed and given to you.
Pots of Gold
The Pots of Gold Bonus brings the gold-loving Leprechaun centre stage. Land three of the Pots of Gold icons on reels 2, 3 and 4 and you will find yourself in the middle of a magical scene.
There are twelve pots of gold of different values circling the magical wee fella. You’ll win the pot that stops at the bottom of the circle with its featured multiplier.
Rainbow Riches stands out for its three bonus rounds, each having a different flavour:
Feature | How to Trigger | What Happens | Max Win |

Road to Riches | 3+ Leprechaun scatters | Spin a wheel to move along a path, scooping multipliers until you land a “Collect.” | 500x stake |
