Wild Wild Riches Review

Wild Wild Riches is an Irish-themed slot game made by Pragmatic Play. Pragmatic Play has a library of great slot games and Wild Wild Riches is another great addition to that library. This slot is set in a green meadow of a rainbow island and for a slot, it has an unconventional setup of 3-3-4-4-4. With a total of 576 potential ways of landing a win, there’s a lot of ground for different symbol combinations. However, the Wild symbols are the main reward-triggering symbol in this slot as we’re about to see in the review.

Furthermore, the game is packed with great bonus features that have the potential to increase your wins. The overall atmosphere in the game is very positive and cheery, combined with the traditional music is almost certain to give your mood a boost and make you feel like the next big win is just around the corner. Even though it’s a theme we’ve seen many times before, it’s still a great slot to lose track of time playing.

RTP and Variance

Just how lucky can we get with this Irish-based slot? To see whether there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow we need to look at the RTP and Variance. This will give us an overview of what we can expect in terms of rewards from Wild Wild Riches. The RTP of the slot in question is 95% which is lower than average for the online slot industry. This doesn’t mean that the game isn’t fun or isn’t rewarding, but you can expect less return on investment to put it simply. For every €100 wagered, you can expect to win back about €95.

Variance is also referred to as volatility and that’s the term we’ll use in this review. The volatility of Wild Wild Riches is High, which means that the game will reward you less often, but the rewards will be higher. Variations in the gameplay can make a slot more dynamic, and this is the case with Wild Wild Riches as well.

The minimum wager for this slot is €0.25 which is a little above average. It’s not too high, but it can be a turning-off point for newcomers to the online slot genre as many games have a lower entry barrier that is more suitable for newcomers. When it comes to the upper wagering limit it’s set at €120 which should be an additional motivation for people with a deeper pocket. Plus, there’s the chance for a maximum payout of x4,608 of your wager which gives you a lot of potential to hit that big win.

Featured Symbols

Nobody should be surprised to learn that the symbols are what we’ve already seen and played with in other Irish-themed slot games. All of the featured symbols are based on Irish folklore which is expected for a slot with a theme such as this one. Let’s dive deeper into how rewarding each symbol is, and what is its purpose in Wild Wild Riches.

The multiplier value of each symbol is the following:

• Diamond symbol – 3 to 5 symbols for x0.08, x0.2 and x0.4
• Clubs symbol – 3 to 5 symbols for x0.08, x0.2 and x0.4
• Hearts symbol – 3 to 5 symbols for x0.08, x0.2 and x0.4

• Mug of Beer symbol – 3 to 5 symbols for x2, x3, and x8

There’s also a Wild symbol and a Scatter symbol represented by a Leprechaun Hat. The functions of these two symbols will be explained in the following section in more detail.

Bonus Features

Wild Wild riches comes with features that will give you the chance to win big prizes and we will cover them in detail here. Of course, this is an Irish-themed game, so a pot of gold must be involved somehow.

On any of the larger reels, a pot filled with gold coins can land with a value of x1 to x25 value. This works as a basic multiplier based on your wager currently in the game. On the fifth reel, a jackpot or multiplier can land with a value of x2, x3 or x5. The values of the jackpot are laid out on a table next to the reels on the left side of the screen.

There are two Wilds in the title of the game, and with good reason. When a wild symbol lands on both reels 1 and 2 and the special symbols land on reels 3, 4 or 5 are when the two Wilds come into play. For example, if 2 Wilds land on the first and second reel and a pot of gold lands on reels 3, 4, and 5 all pots of gold in view on the reels are considered as “wins” at once. This is a nice bonus feature that can award you big amounts of money.

The Money Collect feature is activated with the free spins feature. If the Bonus symbol lands on the third reel, and Wilds land on the first two reels 10 free spins are awarded. More pots of gold and wilds are added to the reels at the same time.

Graphics and Mobile Compatibility

Overall, the visual fidelity of the game is crystal clear. Everything is masterfully crafted in HD and it makes the game look beautiful on any screen. All of the symbols look and play smooth, and the background is beautiful, with a leprechaun hat full of gold, and a rainbow above it in view.

Wild Wild Riches is fully mobile-compatible and can be played on any device as long as you are connected to the internet. The symbols and graphics look great on a smaller mobile screen as well.
