Rainbow Riches Cash Cluster Review

Once again developer Barcrest expands its huge collection of Rainbow Riches games, but this time it's finally bringing something new to the range. The grid mechanic laid down in the Rainbow Riches Cash Cluster slot, albeit based on the popular Cluster Pays system, works in a completely different and unique way. Apart from that, it's the good ol' Leprechaun-styled game with a traditional Irish theme and classic Rainbow Riches bonus features.

Rainbow Riches Cash Cluster - Slot Outlook

While the Rainbow Riches Cash Cluster slot still sticks to that outdated design with the same background image showcasing windswept Irish hills, it really sticks out from the crowd with an unusually large grid. The actions take place across a massive 6x8 layout. Another thing that catches the eye is that the reels have what they call Co-Ordinates, just like in the Battleships guessing game we all played in childhood. And here comes the twist. Unlike regular Cluster Pays slots where symbols pay in groups of 5+ adjacent symbols, Rainbow Riches Cash Cluster makes use of a completely different system.

Rainbow Riches Cash Cluster RTP Ranges!

The Rainbow Riches Cash Cluster slot has three different RTP versions, meaning that you can get a different payback depending on where you play, which is called RTP ranges.

You can get either a 65%, 89%, or 95% return rate, so always check the paytables before depositing until you find a higher RTP version.

To start, players place bets from £0.1 to £30 to buy 6 spins. Then, the reels spin and reveal the symbols, after which the co-ordinates will be revealed. Symbols in that grid position, as well as any adjacent matching symbols, will be collected and added to the respective counter on the Prize Chart to the left of the reels, indicating your progress on scoring a payout. Collecting a required number of any symbol awards the respective prize, and it's possible to win the same prize multiple times by filling the meter more than once. Players can also buy up to 3 extra spins per round, the cost of which is dependant on your current Prize Chart progress and symbol positions on the grid.

In a single spin cycle, you can win from 0.5x to a maximum of 500x your bet.

There are 9 different symbols included in the Rainbow Riches Cash Cluster slot, including a range of familiar ones that act as regular-paying symbols, as well as a bunch of bonus symbols that award modifiers and play into the features:

Symbol	Required number	Prize
Wishing Well	7	0.5x the stake
Toadstool	8	1x the stake
Harp	9	2x the stake
Horseshoe	10	5x the stake
Clover	11	10x the stake
Multiplier	1	Instant win of 2x, 5x, or 10x the stake
Super Gem	1	Pays adjacent symbols / acts as Wild in a cluster
Leprechaun	3	Road to Riches Bonus Game
Pot of Gold	3	Pots of Gold Bonus Game

Rainbow Riches Cash Cluster - Bonus Features

We've seen both the Road to Riches and Pots of Gold bonus games numerous times before in many other Rainbow Riches slots, and there are no changes given to them in this Barcrest release either. As alluded to earlier, once three instances of Leprechaun or Pot of Gold symbols are collected, the player will be awarded the respective bonus game that will be played after the 6-spin cycle.

• Silver Pots - 60x, 70x, 100x, or 125x the stake.

The further you go on the trail, the higher will be the prize. The Road to Riches bonus game is guaranteed to award a prize of at least 2x to a maximum of 100x your bet.
