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.

This games marries what we love from Rainbow Riches with e-instant in a thrilling new way.

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While the Rainbow Riches Cash Cluster slot still sticks to that outdated design with the same background image showcasing windswept Irish hills, it really sticks out from the crowd with an unusually large grid.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.

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:
