Wild Wild Riches Megaways Slot Review

Wild Wild Riches Megaways Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Wild Wild Riches Megaways slot is played on 6 reels with up to 7 rows and the maximum number of possible ways to win is 117,649. Wins are awarded for left-to-right adjacent symbol combinations of any size.

Spin away from just 20p up to £100 per spin. Catering to all bankrolls, this betting range is very typical of Pragmatic Play UK slots. Simply use the + and – buttons on either side of the spin button below the reels to adjust your total bet. Autoplay and turbo spins are also options if you’re outside the UK.

The Wild Wild Riches Megaways RTP is 96.02%, which is above the industry average for an online slot. But please note that there are 95.08% and 93.93% versions, so just make sure you’re playing the right one at your chosen online casino site.

The game’s hit frequency is 1 in 3.09. This means that you will land a winner just over every 3 spins on average.

The maximum win is 10,000 x your total stake, which is quite generous. But please bear in mind that volatility levels here are very high (5/5), so don’t expect huge wins too often. The max win probability is 1 in 17,241,400.

Theme – find the end of the rainbow

The theme in the Wild Wild Riches Megaways slot game is typically Irish, with the reels set in the sunny countryside with a rainbow in the background as well as a leprechaun hat of gold to the right of the reels. The visuals are very similar to the original Wild Wild Riches slot, but this one’s been given the Megaways treatment with more reels, rows and ways to win.

Visually, it’s all very simple and nothing’s too over the top. The bold colours are striking, and the audio is quite calming as you spin away in the base game. Land one of the bonus features though and the soundtrack speeds up with Irish-sounding music, although not as traditional as other online UK slots. The background also turns to sunset during the bonus rounds, which is a nice touch. Again, it’s all very simple but it all ties in together nicely.

On the reels, the A-10 Royals are the lower-paying symbols. The higher-paying ones include pipes, mushrooms, harps, clovers, horseshoes and beer. The beer symbol is the most lucrative, paying 0.75, 2, 4 or 10 x your total stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

The game’s Wild substitutes for all paying symbols, and there’s also a Bonus Scatter, which triggers the Free Spins feature when it lands alongside 2 Wilds. More on the bonus features in a moment.

Wild Wild Riches Megaways Mobile

Wild Wild Riches Megaways runs on the latest HTML5 technology and is designed to workor flawlessly on all devices. As such, you can enjoy the game on iOS and Android smartphones, tablets, laptops and PCs. As much as I love slots on smaller screens, I personally think Megaways slots should be enjoyed on a larger screen due to the larger reel size.

Wild Wild Riches Megaways Bonus Features

There are 3 bonus features in the Wild Wild Riches Megaways slot. You can enjoy a Free Spins feature and a Money Collect feature. There’s also the option in some territories to buy the Free Spins feature. Discover how all of the bonus features work below as we explain them all.

Money Collect feature

The Money symbol can appear on reels 3, 4, 5 and 6, and on any spin, all Money symbols take a random value from a predefined set. If Wilds land on reels 1 and 2 alongside adjacent Money symbols on reels 3, 4, 5 or 6, forming a left-to-right pay way, the values of all the Money symbols are collected. Here are the possible values:

• Cash prize of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x or 20x your total bet.
• Jackpot value of Mini (25x), Minor (50x), Mega (100x) or Maxi (250x).
• 2x, 3x or 5x multipliers that apply to the total win of the Collect feature.

Free Spins feature

To trigger this bonus feature, you need to land Wilds on reels 1 and 2 as well as a Bonus Scatter on reel 3 on a base game spin. Before the round begins, you will be awarded a random number of free spins from the following values: 6, 7, 8, 10, 12,15, 18 or 20.

If you are awarded under 20 free spins, you will have the chance to gamble for more. You can collect of course, but if you gamble, a wheel will stop in a lose or win position. It can only be gambled up to 20 free spins in total. This part of the feature may or may not be available in your country. Here are the probabilities for the gambling part of the feature:

It’s also important to note here that the Money Collect feature is also active during the Free Spins feature. Furthermore, if you land 2 Wilds on reels 1 and 2 as well as a Bonus Scatter on reel 3 during the bonus round, you will get 6 extra free spins.

For players outside the UK, you also have the chance to buy the Free Spins feature for 100 x your total stake. You will be awarded a random number of free spins.

Wild Wild Riches Megaways Review Summary – an improvement on the original

The Wild Wild Riches Megaways slot is a step up from the original, which is what I was expecting to be honest. But not all follow-ups are an improvement. The max win potential of 10,000 x your total stake is more than double that of the original slot, and there are obviously a lot more ways to win because of the Megawys mechanic.

The visuals and the feel of the slot are pretty much the same, wi the bonus features lining up too when compared to the original. I would love to have seen more bonus features or some enhancements, but you can’t have everything I guess.

There are a lot of these features in many other Pragmatic Play slots. Take Wild Wild Bananas for example. That one’s basically a clone of Wild Wild Riches. At the time of writing, there’s no Megaways version of that game yet, but don’t be surprised if one comes along in the future.

Overall, it is a slight improvement on the original despite minimal change with the bonus features, It’s the 10,000 x max win potential that convinces me to give it a solid rating rather than a lower-than-average one. But feel free to give our demo a try and decide for yourself whether it’s worth your time and money.
