Wild Wild Riches Slot Review

Wild Wild Riches Slot Overview

I have spent a fair bit of time on Wild Wild Riches from Pragmatic Play, and it quickly became one of my go-to Irish themed slots. The action takes place on an unusual 3-3-4-4-4 reel layout with 576 ways to win, so it feels closer to a ways slot than a classic payline game. Stakes run from 25p up to £125, covering both cautious players and high rollers.

At the heart of Wild Wild Riches sits the Money Collect feature, and that mechanic shapes how the whole slot behaves. Wilds only land on reels one and two, yet they are the key to almost everything, from cash pots to jackpots and free spins. The game uses a high volatility math model, so my sessions swing heavily between long dry spells and sudden bursts when the features land.

Setting, Background and Music in Wild Wild Riches

Wild Wild Riches drops me into a bright Irish meadow, with rolling green hills and a rainbow arching over the reels. The look is cheerful without being childish, and Pragmatic Play has filled the screen with pipes, toadstools, golden horseshoes, harps and glittering card suit gems. When wins land, the symbols jig about, which suits the whole 'Luck of the Irish' feel and stops the static moments from feeling dull.

Irish folk music loops away in the background while I spin, and it fits the slot surprisingly well. The soundtrack is light but the underlying gameplay can be very unforgiving, so that contrast keeps me focused. Animations such as shimmering coins, shining pots and the leprechaun's little celebrations when jackpots land give the screen life, though Pragmatic has kept everything clean enough that it still runs smoothly on a mobile connection.

Wild Wild Riches Symbols and Paytable

The paytable in Wild Wild Riches is split between card suits and Irish icons. Diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades sit at the bottom, paying from 0.08x up to 0.60x for five of a kind. Above them come mushrooms, a smoking pipe, horseshoe and harp, while the pint of beer tops the lot at 8x your stake for five. Wilds only appear on reels one and two, with Bonus and Money symbols handling features.

Bonus Features in Wild Wild Riches

In Wild Wild Riches the main feature is Money Collect. Pots of gold land as Money symbols on reels three, four and five, each showing a cash value from 1x to 25x your bet. To get paid you must land at least one wild on both reel one and reel two on the same spin. When that happens, every visible pot value is added together and awarded as a single win.

Reel five can also drop special Money symbols carrying 2x, 3x or 5x multipliers. If they appear as part of a valid Collect hit, the combined pot total is multiplied, which can turn a modest screen into a proper payout. You also find the three fixed jackpots there, with Mini paying 50x, Major 100x and Mega 500x your stake, all triggered through the same wild plus pots set-up.

Free spins in Wild Wild Riches need the wilds as well. When wilds drop on reels one and two together with a Bonus symbol on reel three, I get 10 free spins. During the round, wilds and Money pots appear more often and the Collect feature goes off far more regularly. Hitting the same combination again adds another 10 spins, and there is no stated cap on how many times the round can retrigger.

Wild Wild Riches - Players Manual

When I load Wild Wild Riches I start by setting my bet with the plus and minus buttons, anywhere from 25p to £125 per spin. The small 'i' icon opens the paytable and rules, and the hamburger menu lets me switch music, quick spins and battery saver on or off. There is a standard spin button plus an autoplay mode, where I can pick a number of automatic spins and basic stop conditions.

Wild Wild Riches pays when at least three matching symbols land left to right on adjacent reels, using all 576 ways. The first two reels are vital, so I often enable the Ante Bet on the left side of the screen. This pushes the stake up by 20 percent but adds extra wilds to reels one and two. On such a high variance slot, I prefer smaller bets with Ante Bet active rather than huge base stakes.

Wild Wild Riches RTP, Volatility and Max Win

From a numbers point of view, Wild Wild Riches is not for the faint hearted. The default RTP sits around 96.7 percent, but operators can pick lower settings that drop it closer to 95 percent or even below, so I always check the help pages before depositing. Volatility is rated very high, and my own sessions match that, with long stretches of nothing followed by Collect hits and free spins that bail out the balance.

The maximum win on Wild Wild Riches sits at 4,608x stake, usually quoted as filling the screen with pints. I have not come close to that, but I have seen plenty of 20x to 50x Money Collect screens, which feel decent on this kind of math. I always suggest testing the free demo first, on desktop or mobile, to get used to the swings before risking a proper bankroll.

Reviewing Wild Wild Riches - Verdict

Irish themed slots are everywhere, yet Wild Wild Riches still carves out a place in my rotation thanks to the wild driven Money Collect mechanic. The pots of gold can be frustrating when they clog the reels without wilds, and the capped 4,608x potential will not suit jackpot hunters, but the constant tension on reels one and two keeps me spinning, especially with Ante Bet feeding extra wilds into the mix.
