Description
Rainbow Riches Bingo is here, folks! It’s already one of the most popular online slot games out there. Now Rainbow Riches Bingo is available at Mecca, Gala and other Virtue Fusion sites!
It’s a housey version of everyone’s favourite Irish-themed flutter. You can play this unique take on 40-ball bingo for stacks of gold at any time of day. That is, join leprechaun Lucky O’Leary for endless fun. Considering there are just 40 balls in play, it moves quite fast. What’s more, you only need four numbers to land a prize.
The game carries the Irish theme through with lucky clovers, pots of gold, and rainbows.
There are various ways of winning. For instance, you can complete a clover (or line) or land a Full House.
You can also bag the jackpot prize or Wishing Well bonus. In other words, there’s always plenty to hold your interest.
How to play
Tickets are priced between 5p and 10p, so they’re nice and affordable. Furthermore, there are five tickets per strip. Each ticket has eight numbers spread across two four-leafed clovers. If the game calls one of the numbers on your leaf, it turns to gold.
The first player with two golden four-leafed clovers on their ticket wins the Full House award. There are also prizes for filling in the four numbers on a single clover leaf.
Special Features
Jackpot
Rainbow Riches Bingo has a progressive jackpot. It can be triggered during any game. As the numbers are called, rainbow clovers are displayed, which accumulate and move the leprechaun along the 100-step Rainbow Road path to riches!
Then, if he lands on the bronze (step 20), silver (step 40), or gold (step 100) jackpots, the game dishes out the jackpot straight away. Unfortunately, all players share the jackpot. If Lucky O’Leary goes past a jackpot point, players get half of the pot, and the rest will rollover.
The number of clovers determines how many steps the leprechaun can move forward. And in each game, zero, one, or two clovers will get called. For each clover, the leprechaun takes one step along the Rainbow Road.
Once he has travelled the entire road, the game just starts up again.
Bonus Games: Wishing Well Bonus
This is your personal bingo jackpot. To be in with a chance of winning, you’ll need a minimum of five cards. Choose a Magic Number between 1 and 40 and, if the game calls your number during your game, you receive a gold coin. With 100 coins, you get a fiver’s bonus to use on both bingo and slots with Rainbow Riches, split evenly between both.
Some have described this feature as a fair amount of time and effort for the rewards involved, but then again some bingo games have no bonus games at all.
Return to Player (RTP)
Rainbow Riches Bingo does not advertise Return to Player or RTP separately. However, in bingo games, it usually hovers at a little over 80%.
Verdict
Reviewers seem to think Rainbow Riches is reasonably well-adapted and translates successfully into a bingo game. And you should particularly enjoy this one if you’re already a fan of the slot game. (Although one reviewer did describe the sound of the caller as ‘a tad annoying…like Mrs Brown on helium’.)
It’s certainly a busy game and, as we’ve mentioned, moves along at speed. Therefore, it may not be the ideal choice for your first online bingo outing. However, it’s a lot of fun.
And given how affordable it is, there’s little to lose. And so, try it out for yourself and see what you think. Here’s hoping you enjoy the luck of the Irish!
