Giant Riches Slot Review

Giant Riches Introduction

Giant Riches is a fairytale themed slot built around Jack and the Beanstalk, with Jack climbing the stalk beneath a 5x6 grid. You get 60 win lines while only paying for 40, plus free spins, stacked symbols and a mystery reveal on every spin. From the first session I saw it as a bonus packed game that can still feel quite straightforward once you have a few spins under your belt.

I tend to see Giant Riches as a slot for players who enjoy plenty of win lines and several features layered on a simple base game. The volatility sits in the middle range, so I do not expect wild swings, but I also would not call it a grind. Limited settings and a relatively low maximum stake make it better suited to casual bankrolls than high roller play.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack in Giant Riches

Giant Riches leans hard on the Jack and the Beanstalk story. Symbols include magic beans, bags of golden coins, the golden goose, the giant, Jack himself and the castle in the sky. The 5x6 reels sit against blue skies and white clouds, while Jack climbs the beanstalk at the bottom of the screen. The artwork looks a little dated and not especially sophisticated, yet it still fits the fairytale theme quite well.

The soundtrack goes for a fun, quirky, almost whimsical feel that supports the lighthearted story on screen. Personally, I found the audio and visuals quite basic compared with newer high resolution slots, yet they never got in the way of play. Once I settled into the rhythm of stacked symbols and mystery reveals, the simple presentation almost became an advantage, keeping my focus squarely on the reels.

Giant Riches RTP, Volatility and Slot Stats

Giant Riches runs on a theoretical RTP of 96.06 per cent with medium, leaning to low or medium, volatility. There are 60 fixed win lines and wins pay from left to right, apart from scatters which pay in any position. The house edge of about 3.94 per cent feels reasonable for longer sessions, giving me a steady flow of small and mid sized wins punctuated by the occasional stronger hit.

How to Play Giant Riches

When I load Giant Riches the first thing I do is tweak the options around the reels. The blue speaker icon to the left lets me switch the music and sound effects on or off. Then I set my total stake per spin within the allowed range, starting at 0.40. All 60 win lines are fixed, so there is no line selector, and the wager is effectively based on 40 lines.

Auto play is there if I want the game to run through a set number of spins without more clicks, though there is no fast play option or extra loss limits baked in. With the controls sorted, it is simply a case of spinning and watching for stacked picture symbols, mystery stacks and castles. Malfunction voids all pays and plays, so I only touch it on properly licensed and tested platforms.

Giant Riches Symbols and Paytable Explained

Giant Riches uses eleven regular symbols, along with a wild and a scatter. The themed icons are Jack, the Giant, the Coin Bag, the Golden Goose, the Harp and the Magic Beans. Lower paying symbols are the Ten, Jack, Queen, King and Ace playing cards. The Giant Riches logo acts as the wild, substituting for everything except the scatter, and is one of the best paying symbols on the reels.

On the paytable, five of a kind wilds pay x50 at the reference stake, as do five Jacks. Five Giants pay x25, five Coin Bags x15, five Golden Geese x12, while five Harps or five Magic Beans each pay x10. The lower picture card and number symbols pay from x4 up to x7.5 for a full line, so most of the real value sits with the picture symbols and the wild.

The scatter symbol is the castle in the sky. Three or more scatters anywhere will award both instant scatter wins and trigger free games. At the standard example stake, 3, 4 or 5 scatters pay x2, x2.5 or x3, while 6, 7 or 8 scatters pay x20, x80 or x120. Only the highest win per line counts, and all line pays are multiplied by the bet per line rather than the total.

Giant Riches Bonus Features

The centrepiece feature in Giant Riches is the free spins round triggered by castle scatters. Hitting 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 castles anywhere on the reels awards 8, 12, 16, 20, 30 or 50 free spins. All returns during free games are doubled by a x2 multiplier, and any line, scatter and feature wins are added together. Free spins play with the same stake that triggered the bonus.

Giant Riches also uses stacked symbols and a mystery feature on every spin. Jack, the Giant, the Coin Bag, the Golden Goose, the Harp, the Magic Beans and the wild can appear stacked up to six high on reels one and two, and three high on the others. Mystery stacks then transform into a single symbol; in free games they only become the wild, Coin Bag, Goose or Harp.

Overall Giant Riches Review

As a regular slots player I see Giant Riches as a fairytale themed game for bonus hunters who like stacked symbols and a busy screen, rather than someone chasing huge jackpots. The 60 win lines, mystery feature and doubled free spins give it a fair amount of interest, even though the graphics feel old and settings are limited. When I want a straightforward medium variance climb up the beanstalk, it still gets a look.
