Rainbow Riches Shindig Slot

There's something awfully auspicious about the Irish, isn't there? Magic stones, Leprechauns, breakfast cereals, and Louis Walsh; those guys are just steeped in fortune aren't they? Well they must be, because developers throughout all slot history have themed machines on the luck o' the Irish, and to be fair with their history, why not? In what other mythologies do you have crazy bulls fighting for the pride of a nation, protected by frenzied heroes? Where else can you find salmon that contain the wisdom of the universe, or a man so ice his name is MacCool? So let's raise a glass to the Emerald isle and get blotto and play slots, and with all this blarney what better game for slot shenanigans than the Rainbow Riches Shindig.

The Rainbow Riches game is apparently a fast growing classic as it features as a real life slot game in many UK pubs as it is perhaps one of the more simple offerings that doesn't require a mouse pointer online, so no need for a touch screen in reality. This perhaps would be a bad idea after too many pork scratchings and pints of export as has become the sad reality for so many pub quiz machines as you stand stabbing one finger on the winning fact to no avail, as the time runs out.

So, we've established that Rainbow Riches Shindig is a simple slot game then? OK, well here's the bit where it gets slightly more complex. The game has a gamble feature where any win of less than 1000 coins can be wagered on a weighted wheel. Press 'bank' to keep half your winnings and continue playing with your other half (but don't leave the game alone for too long!) Have as many spins as you like until your total win reaches 1000 coins whether through smaller banked wins, or one death or glory attempt on the wheel. As mentioned this wheel is weighted so only the first spin is a fifty-fifty chance with odds decreasing in your favour (so increasing in guess who's direction?) as the game continues toward one of three eventualities of early collection, loss or those 1000 coins.

Scatter in three hats and you can reveal one for an award. There's a one in three chance however to access the hilarious Shindig sub-game, Pots of Luck from the hats. When you hit the sub-game you simply press the arrow to start the Leprechaun Dancing (although someone in the office suggested it might be drunken lurching) from pot to pot. When the music stops in this game of gambling musical chairs, you get the hidden prize underneath the pot you've stopped Shindiggin' on.

Finally, what about the game itself, the amazing graphics you can't wait to see and the sounds your dying to hear. Well, the graphics on Rainbow Riches Shindig give the game a nice flavour but it's in the Irish mutterings that form the soundtrack that this slot's presentation excels.

So is this game worth a lucky punt? You bet your four leaf clover it is! Whilst the game has few symbols you'll quickly realise Rainbow Riches Shindig is one of the best machines for the experienced jockey who loves to grind out those wins. If you're not experienced then you best get playin’.
