Rainbow Riches Power Mix Review

It seems that the all-time classic Rainbow Riches has always been there, spawning sequels and remakes from time to time. Originated as a physical cabinet and then transitioned to the online slots world, the Rainbow Riches series has won the hearts of many players through the years, and the developers still keep building on the franchise success. Now, Barcrest proudly presents yet another installment called Rainbow Riches Power Mix, and as the title implies, it comes with a mix of all the beloved Rainbow Riches features, which are rather powerful to provide massive payouts of up to 12,500x the stake.

Rainbow Riches Power Mix marks an exciting milestone for this truly iconic series. We know just how much players love experiencing alternative game formats within the overall Rainbow Riches theme, and this slot does that and much more.Rob ProcterVP game development, SG

Rainbow Riches Power Mix - Slot Outlook

The outer look of Rainbow Riches has hardly ever undergone changes, and the same applies to the Rainbow Riches Power Mix slot, apart from the fact it's played with four reel sets at a time instead of a single one. Here, the developers have switched to a growing-in-popularity quad-reel format, and we get four separate 5x3 grids to play across. Each produces 10 ways to play, or a total of 40. Once you load into the game, you'll be taken to a selection screen to choose by one preferred bonus feature from a collection of 5 for each of the reel sets.

The selected bonus symbols will then be added to corresponding reel sets for you to trigger them throughout the gameplay, while inactive bonuses won't remain in play. However, you can adjust your selection any time via the 'Change Bonus' button on the right.

Rainbow Riches Power Mix Slot - Reel Screen

The betting in the Rainbow Riches Power Mix is fixed at 40 paylines, and players drop in by setting wagers from €0.2 to €100 per spin. Powered by a medium volatile math model, the game has an RTP of 96.09%, which is slightly above the average level. What's most impressive is the maximum payout that is capped at 12,500x the stake, or €250,000.

There are only 6 regular symbols included in the Rainbow Riches Power Mix slot, done in a recognizable style that we've seen numerous times before in other Rainbow Riches releases. Those include classic A-10 royals as well as the game's logo.

All symbols pay from 3-of-a-kind and more, and 5-of-a-kind wins are worth from 5x to 12,5x your bet. A gold coin with leprechaun is Wild, and it can appear anywhere on the reels to substitute for any other regular symbols, plus it pays equally to the top-paying regular symbol.

Rainbow Riches Power Mix - Bonus Features

As alluded to earlier, you've got a range of bonus features at your disposal in the Rainbow Riches Power Mix slot, selectable via the Bonus Choice. Those are 5 iconic Rainbow Riches features, triggered when 3 or more bonus symbols appear anywhere on the reels where they are active.

• Road to Riches - spin the wheel to determine the number of steps on the multiplier trail, which can be anything between 1 to 6. The bonus ends when the wheel lands on a coin segment, or the final step of the multiplier trail has been reached. If triggered with 4 bonus symbols, the number of steps needed to reach the final tile will be reduced, while 5 triggering bonus symbols automatically pay the max prize of 500x the stake and the bonus does not play out.
• Pots of Gold - spin the wheel of gold, silver, and bronze pots to win a random bet multiplier prize. If triggered with 4 bonus symbols, only gold and silver pots will be presented, and 5 bonus symbols award an instant prize of 500x the stake and the bonus does not play out.
• Free Spins - landing Scatters on the reels 1, 3, and 5 awards up to 30 free spins with the Scatter symbols stacked on reel 1. The Scatters act as Wild during the feature, plus can award additional spins if 3 or more appear simultaneously on reels 1, 3, and 5.
• Cash Crop - 50 coins will spin and reveal either a blank or a bet multiplier, after which all revealed multipliers will be added to the prize pot. A large coin will then appear and reveal either 'Go On' or 'Collect'.

  

  If the 'Go On' symbol is revealed, players proceed to the next level, where another 50 coins with greater multiplier values appear. Another 'Go On' symbol will advance players to the final third level, where the possible multipliers are once again increased. The bonus ends when the 'Collect' symbol is revealed or when level 3 is complete. If triggered with 5 bonus symbols, players will receive a cash reward of 500x the stake and the bonus will not play out.
• Magic Toadstool - 3 picks are awarded to choose from a screen of 24 toadstools, each revealing either a multiplier or a fairy. The multiplier pays a cash prize equal to the current stake per reel multiplied by the revealed multiplier value, while the fairy reveals 3 additional mushrooms for extra winnings and then turns into a multiplier. The bonus has a minimum threshold amount of 3x and 8x the stake per reel set for 3 and 4 triggering bonus symbols respectively.

  

  

  Extra picks are awarded in case there are still mushrooms left and the threshold value has not been reached. A final multiplier is revealed that multiplies the total win in case there are picks left but no mushrooms remain. If triggered with 5 bonus symbols, a max prize 500x the stake will be instantly awarded and the bonus will not play out.

Finally, players will benefit from the Power Mix Bonus that is triggered when a fully stacked rainbow symbol lands on reel 3 of any of the reel sets. Once activated, all four reel sets will be joined together and a new type of reels will be presented, consisting solely of blanks, multipliers, and power-ups. The bonus is a classic streak-style respins, where the players have 3 lives. All multiplier and modifier symbols that land on the reels get locked in place for the remainder of the bonus, as well as reset the life counter back to 3, or 4 if the Rainbow has been caught. Here's what are the available modifiers:

• Wishing Well - collects all cash values in view and adds that value to that symbol.
• Rainbow - increases the life counter to 4. Only one Rainbow symbol can appear per bonus round.
• Fairy - doubles the values of a random number of symbols on the reels.

  

  Has no cash value itself.
• Leprechaun - spins to reveal a multiplier that will be applied to all adjacent positions. That will be marked as the Hot Zone, and any symbols landing in those positions, either new or old, will have a multiplier applied to them. Has no cash value itself.

Rainbow Riches Power Mix - Slot Verdict

With such an impressive range of bonus features, the Rainbow Riches Power Mix slot is surely going to make waves among slot enthusiasts, especially those who already love the iconic Barcrest series. It has all the timeless characteristics of Rainbow Riches, as well as gives players an opportunity to experience the innovative quad-reel mechanic. The math is also on spot and players can hope for some epic wins here, up to 50,000x the stake per reel array, and that's surely decent given the medium rating of its volatility. Should you get past the basic looks, the gameplay lurking beneath is just cosmic, thus the game is surely worth a spin or two.
