Some software developers will always be attached to one particular game, for better or for worse, and for Barcrest, that game is undoubtedly Rainbow Riches.Choosing not to mourn the fact that the popularity of this particular slot leads them to be defined by it, Barcrest have instead taken full advantage with a wide range of sequels, the latest of which being Rainbow Riches: Drops of Gold.
About the slot
With five reels and between 50 and 200 paylines, Rainbow Riches: Drops of Gold is playable from 10p to £500 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.An “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” attitude is taken to the design here, with everyone’s favourite slot related leprechaun returning in a slot that looks very similar to all those that have come before in the Rainbow Riches series.The reels are full of harps, horseshoes, mushrooms, and more, while the 10, J, Q, K, and A filler symbols make up the lower values.
Gameplay
While there is nothing new in terms of how this slot looks, it is within the gameplay that the series takes a leap forwards, thanks to the innovative Drops of Gold feature.Gold and silver wild pots will feed into a ‘drop zone’ above the reels, if you land a Drops of Gold symbol lands single or stacked on reel five, the feature will trigger and all wilds above the reels will drop into the corresponding position on the reel set, allowing for nice wins.There’s also a Free Spins feature, trigger by three or more scatter symbols, which, thanks to a retrigger ability, has up to 32 free spins to be won, with the Drops of Gold feature able to be triggered during the free spins round, which can be most profitable!
