Riches of Rumpelstiltskin Megaways Slot Review

Riches of Rumpelstiltskin Megaways Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Riches of Rumpelstiltskin Megaways slot is played on 6 reels, 2-7 rows, and has up to 117,649 ways to win. Wins pay from left to right on adjacent reels, beginning from reel 1 regardless of size. There can be up to 7 symbols on each reel.

Spin away from just 20p up to £20 per bet. Hit the coin icon below the spin button to adjust your total stake. In most territories outside the UK, you can also utilise up to 1,000 autospins if you wish.

The Riches of Rumpelstiltskin Megaways RTP is 96.01%, which is just above the industry average. A lot of the best online slots tend to be above average so this game’s in good company. In terms of volatility, it’s in the medium to high range.

The slot comes with a hit rate of 30%, which is generous and better than a lot of other online slots in the UK. It essentially means that just under a 3rd of all spins on average will result in a winner.

The maximum win is 5,000 x your stake. Your best chance of landing the top prize will arguably come in the Respins feature due to the boosters on offer. However, keep an eye out for the randomly-triggered Max Megaways feature in the base game as this could also see you land the maximum win if you’re lucky.

Theme – search for Rumpelstilskin’s cottage

The theme here is all based on a famous German fairytale from the 1800s. The Riches of Rumpelstiltskin Megaways slot game takes inspiration from the old folk tale Rumpelstiltskin, who was a little imp who spun straw into gold in exchange for someone’s child.

The reels are set in the countryside, in front of Rumpelstiltskin’s cottage on what looks like a crisp autumn’s day. The action moves inside to an area full of gold once the bonus feature is triggered. The visuals are nicely done and I enjoyed the sounds from Rumpelstiltskin himself when winners and features landed in the game.

Regarding the soundtrack, it’s very claiming and typically fairytale-like. It ramps up a notch when the bonus feature lands and is more suspenseful to add to the overall appeal and excitement as the respins are happening.

On the reels, the lower-paying symbols are made up of A-9 Royals. The higher-paying ones include keys, looms, the Miller’s daughter and Rumpelstiltskin. The Rumpelstiltskin symbol pays the most, awarding up to 12.5 x your stake for 6 of a kind.

The Wild appears only in the horizontal top tracker and substitutes for all symbols except Scatters. You’ve also got mystery symbols, which transform into the same regular paying symbol when they land anywhere on the reels.

Riches of Rumpelstiltskin Megaways Mobile

You can play Riches of Rumpelstiltskin Megaways on all devices including desktops, tablets and mobiles. Although the game does look great on smaller screens, when there are 117,649 ways to win, I much prefer it on a bigger screen.

Riches of Rumpelstiltskin Megaways Bonus Features

There are 7 bonus features in total, with a lot of those coming in the Rumpel Respins feature courtesy of boosters. Read on as we explain how they all work, starting with the cascading wins.

Cascading Wins

On every win, all winning symbols explode and disappear from the reels. This allows more to drop in from above as well as 2 random modifiers in Max Megaways and Mystery Symbols. The cascades continue until now new winning combinations are formed.

Max Megaways feature

Keep an eye out for the Max Megaways modifier in the base game! It will trigger randomly on any spin, which guarantees to land 7 symbols on each reel for the maximum 117,659 ways and a chance for multiple cascades.

Rumpel Respins feature

Landing 5 or more Scatters in the base game will trigger this bonus feature and award 3 respins initially. Those Scatters will stay locked in place as the respins begin. As you can see from the screenshot above, the reels change to only show blanks, Scatters or Booster symbols.

If any new Boosters or Scatters land, the number of respins resets back to 3. You will only see Booster symbols on the top reel, and collecting 3 of one type will activate its power up. Here’s a list of the 4 different Boosters you’ll come across:

Riches of Rumpelstiltskin Megaways Review Summary – a middle-of-the-road slot

You may initially think that the Riches of Rumpelstiltskin Megaways slot will only be enjoyable if you understand the fairytale. Of course, that helps a little, but you don’t need to know about it to enjoy it. But what is there to enjoy? Well, not too much really. I was left a little underwhelmed by what was on offer, to be honest. It’s all very nicely put together, but there’s nothing new to get me excited that I haven’t seen before elsewhere.

A lot of iSoftBet slots in the past have had the Hold & Win treatment, and some have been great. The Magic Orb slot is a prime example. However, this is not one of the greats but it’s not the worst either. Max wins of 5,000 x your stake, an above-average RTP rate and a hit frequency of 30% hold this slot up well against the competition.

I’ve not even mentioned the 4 modifiers in the Rumpel Respins feature yet either. That’s a nice touch and can all add value to the bonus round as you hunt for bigger wins. Overall, it’s another release to add to the Twisted Tale Series, but it’s nowhere near the level I expect from the best Megaways slots.
