Rainbow Wilds

Theme

The search for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow continues!

This old myth about a tricky leprechaun guarding golden coins at the end of the rainbow has been an inspiration for many stories. And the game developers were not unaffected. More than a couple of slots have this Irish tale as their main theme. Iron Dog Studio decided to jump on the bandwagon and release their take on the legend.

Visually, the game looks great. Graphics and design are amazing while animations are subtle but effective.

In the background, …

… there are green fields and hills of Emerald Island. Shamrock, the national symbol of Ireland, with big green leaves is everywhere. Players will also notice two little men with ginger hair and in green outfits. The one the right is sitting on the famous pot.

The soundtrack…

… is tranquil. It’s not upbeat but it has an optimistic vibe and creates a relaxing atmosphere.

Betting Options and Symbols

This adventure is taking place across a 5 x 4 grid and it has 1.024 possible win ways.

But before you start chasing for the pot, you need to the bet. The betting range goes from 0.50 up to 50 $ per spin. High rollers will not find these options attractive, that’s for sure, but mid-range gambler will.

What players also need to know is that these are cascading reels meaning that each winning combination disappears from the reels, making room for new symbols to drop. 

AND …

… What about the symbols?!

Well, low – value icons are differently colored berries which is unusual since most developers opt for standard card values but it’s a nice change. The highest paying among them is blue colored one with 30 coins for landing five on the line.

The high – value icons are all national symbols of Ireland. Among them, you’ll find a pint of Guinness, the favorite drink of the people from this neck of the woods, a Harp, another national symbol of Ireland and…

… Claddagh ring which stands for love, loyalty, and friendship. On the higher end of the group are the golden icons of a Bird, a Horseshoe and a Shamrock, the Celtic symbol for luck. These three will get you between 150 and 400 coins for landing 5 of a kind on the line.

Special Features

Also, present on the reels are 3 different types of Wilds.

The Star Wild appears on the reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and it behaves as a standard Wild, replacing all other symbols on the grid. The Sticky Wild appears only on the middle column…

… and will stay on the grid until no more prizes are won. The Expanding Wild can randomly land anywhere apart from column 1. It behaves as a standard Wild replacing all the symbols, expanding over the entire reel and more of them can appear on the same spin.

BUT …

… There’s more!

The game also features bonus spins but in order to trigger them, you need to connect at least 4 consecutive wins. If you manage that you’ll get 14 spins but have in mind that more wins mean more spins. You can get as much as 20 spins. Multipliers also get activated after 6 connecting wins.

Conclusion

Overall, it’s an action-packed slot with great graphics and sound effects.

Players always love to have bonus spins as a game feature. When you combine that with 3 types of Wilds, the gameplay becomes even more appealing. Irish theme and leprechauns are quite popular and Iron Dog Studios evidently really tried to make this title stand out.
