Our take
Blueprint Gaming's Megaways adaptation of the UK's most iconic Irish luck brand — 96% RTP, 10,000× max win, Road to Riches, and Pots of Gold all present.
Rainbow Riches Megaways is Blueprint Gaming's Megaways adaptation of the Rainbow Riches franchise — the best-known Irish luck slot brand in the UK market. Released as a Megaways title, it combines the Big Time Gaming variable-ways engine (up to 117,649 ways) with the Rainbow Riches bonus mechanics familiar to UK players: Road to Riches and Pots of Gold. RTP is 96.0%, volatility is high, max win is 10,000× stake.
How Rainbow Riches Megaways Works
The base game runs on a 6-reel Megaways grid with 2–7 symbols per reel per spin, creating 64–117,649 ways to win. Wins trigger cascading reactions — winning symbols are removed and replaced by new ones falling from above.
Transforming symbols: Certain symbols transform when involved in winning combinations, converting adjacent positions to matching symbols and extending the winning sequence. This is a Rainbow Riches Megaways-specific mechanic not present in standard BTG Megaways titles.
Bonus trigger: 3+ scatter symbols trigger the bonus round selector. Players choose between Blueprint Bonus options (where available) or receive the standard bonus.
Road to Riches: The classic Rainbow Riches wheel-spin bonus. A wheel spin advances the player up a prize ladder — higher ladder positions award multiplied prizes. The ladder structure provides incremental wins rather than the single large payout of a multiplier free spins round.
Pots of Gold: Three leprechaun pots (Bronze, Silver, Gold) appear on a spinner. The pot values increase throughout the base game; landing the Pots bonus awards the displayed value of one pot, determined by the spinner outcome.
Free spins with unlimited multiplier: Alternatively, the bonus can award free spins with a cascading win multiplier (1×, increasing with each cascade, no cap).
Rainbow Riches Megaways in the UK Market
The original Rainbow Riches is a fixture of UK pub arcades and online casinos — it has deeper cultural penetration in the UK than most online slot brands. The Megaways version targets existing fans: the core bonus mechanics are preserved, but the variable-ways engine adds a modern complexity layer. Players who find standard Megaways too volatile may find the Road to Riches and Pots of Gold features provide more frequent smaller payouts alongside the free spins big-win pathway.
