Rainbow Riches Pokie

Rainbow Riches pokie game is a Barcrest pokie that started as a land-based terminal. But it was a seamless transition from the physical to the digital, and Rainbow Riches remains one of the most popular and sought-after pokies online. It also has the distinct honour of being the most popular Irish folklore/leprechaun based pokie. That may sound like a hollow crown, but given the stiff competition from the Microgaming pokies Lucky Leprechaun, Blueprint’s Luck o’ the Irish and Eyecon’s Irish Luck, it is an impressive achievement.

Rainbow Riches Pokie Background

So, who to do you have to bargain with to get your hands on those rainbow riches? The Rainbow Riches leprechaun, of course. Leprechaun’s are traditional Irish folk creatures. In original lore, they are hunched old cobblers in triangular cocked hats who live in lonely confinement, hammering away at their shoes. They may even have a pot of gold hidden at the end of the rainbow, and if a human captures one, then they might grant you a wish in return for their freedom. The Rainbow Riches leprechaun falls into slightly more contemporary depictions; a green coated, cheeky ginger bearded fellow who might wish “top o’ the morning to ya.” Although with this leprechaun in particular, I’ve never seen one look so much like a ginger Abraham Lincoln.

Pokie Features

Rainbow Riches is a 20 line, 5 reel video pokie which features the opportunity to win a massive $200,000 jackpot if you hit 5 consecutive Wild symbols. The Rainbow Riches game suits anyone from cautious amateurs to high rollers, as a player’s bets can vary depending on your mood and confidence. Firstly, you can change the number of lines that you bet on from 1-20; as you toggle the number up and down with the “+” and “-,“ the in-play paylines are highlighted. You can also stake 1c to $20(5) on each line for a minimum bet of 1c (on just one payline) to $500 ($25 on 20 lines). Apart from the card symbols 10, J, Q, K and A, the pokie also has a Rainbow Riches emblazoned symbol and a Wild that substitutes for all cards except for the three different scatter symbols. The three symbols are a Road to Riches scatter, featuring the leprechaun’s vaguely presidential face, the Wishing Well scatter with, you guessed it, a Wishing Well and the Pots of Gold scatter. If you get three or more of one of these scatter symbols, you can trigger one of three bonus rounds.
