Rainbow Gold Shifting Riches Slot Review

Rainbow Gold Shifting Riches Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Rainbow Gold Shifting Riches slot is played on 5 reels, 3 rows and has 20 fixed paylines. All symbols pay from left to right on selected paylines, starting from reel 1.

Stakes range from  20p up to £100 per spin, catering to all bankrolls. As usual with Pragmatic slots, simply use the + and – buttons on either side of the spin button to change the total bet. Autospins and turbo spins are also possible in most territories apart from the UK.

The Rainbow Gold Shifting Riches RTP is 96.45%, which is above the normal average of 96% for an online slot. If you decide to use the Ante Bet and give yourself a better chance of landing a Leprechaun symbol, the RTP doesn’t change. More on that feature in a moment.

The maximum win is capped at 5,000 x your stake in both the base game and the Free Spins feature. Your best chance of landing this is arguably in the bonus feature due to the extra reel sets and the possibility to get more free spins.

In terms of variance, this game has been rated 5/5 for volatility and is very high, so don’t expect huge wins too regularly.

Theme – Audio and Design Features – grab the riches from above

The theme in the Rainbow Gold Shifting Riches slot game is clear – it’s all about Irish luck and those little leprechauns that you need help from for potentially bigger payouts. The reels are full of bold green colours and appear in front of what looks like an enchanting forest.

The soundtrack is very calming and fairytale-like rather than Irish Riverdance. If you manage to land a leprechaun on the reels, a loud alarm will sound, which can get a little annoying after a while. But you know that if it’s sounding a lot, you’re enjoying that Irish luck on the reels.

A-10 royals make up the lower-paying symbols in this release, with a pint of Guinness, a well, a horseshoe, a hat, and a golden clover making up the high paying symbols. The Golden Clover is the most rewarding of them all, paying 2.5, 5 or 20 x your stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

The game’s wild can pay up to 25x for 5 in combination but that’s very rare. The wild can appear on all reels and substitutes for all symbols apart from the leprechaun symbol.

Rainbow Gold Shifting Riches Mobile

Created by Pragmatic Play using the latest HTML5 technology, you can hunt for riches on desktop, mobile and tablet devices. The HD graphics make for an enjoyable experience on smaller screens.

Rainbow Gold Shifting Riches Bonus Features

There are 3 main features in the Rainbow Gold Shifting Riches slot, and each one of them adds an extra bit of spice to the gameplay. Let’s explain how everything works so that you can understand the mechanics better.

Ante Bet feature

To the left of the reels, you’ll notice that there is a sign that says you can get more chance of landing a leprechaun. If you swipe the arrow to the right and activate this, it will increase your stake by 25% as well as increase your chances of landing the top tracker prizes via the leprechauns.

Top Tracker and Prize Collection feature

You’ll see a tracker above the reels that show random prizes over each of the 5 reels. With every spin, the tracker moves to the left to show a new prize on each reel. Whenever a leprechaun symbol lands, the prize on that reel in the top tracker will be awarded.

Only the following prizes can appear on the top tracker:

• Monetary reward – from 2x to 100x your total bet.
• All in View prize – gives you all of the visible top tracker rewards.
• Super Spins prize –  gives you free spins. Each Super Spins item will also have a number between 1 and 4, and this determines how many reels will be unlocked for the Free Spins feature you’ve just triggered.

Free Spins feature

When a leprechaun lands and collects a Super Spins item from the top tracker above the reels, the Free Spins feature is triggered.

The bonus feature is played on up to 4 reel sets with 3 rows and 5 reels. The round begins with those reel sets unlocked equal to the number that was shown with the Super Spins item.

The following items can appear randomly on the top tracker during the Free Spins feature:

• Monetary reward – from 2x to 500x your total bet.
• All in View prize – gives you all of the visible top tracker rewards on the main reel set.
• Super All in View prize – Awards all top trackers above all reels in the feature.
• Additional Free Spins prize – 2, 3 or 5 more free spins are awarded.
• Rainbow Boost Prize – unlocks 1 of the locked reel sets in the current round.

Rainbow Gold Shifting Riches Review Summary – will you get some of that Irish luck?

It’s another solid Irish-themed slot from Pragmatic Play in our opinion. Although the max win isn’t anything to write home about, the bonus features are at least slightly different to the usual features, with 4 reel sets offering the players a chance of some big payouts.

We weren’t a fan of the soundtrack in all honesty as it doesn’t really match up well with the gameplay. We would have preferred some traditional Irish music but they make up for it with some exciting action around the leprechaun symbols and the top tracker.

Overall, it’s been very nicely put together and should appeal to many. Sticking with the theme, if you want more bang for your buck, consider Barcrest’s Rainbow Riches Power Mix slot, which has a max win of 12,500 x your stake. There’s also the Leprechaun’s Luck slot for those who enjoy progressives and jackpots that can run into the millions of pounds.
