Rio Riches theme, graphics and sound
Rio de Janeiro is the party capital of the world and the home of a spectacular carnival. Ainsworth captures a flavour of the marvellous city with this colourful pokie set against a tropical night sky.
Two carnival queens flank the reels and Copacabana beach, carnival masks and colourful toucans fill the reels. Even the royals are all dressed up for the carnival. You’ll feel as if you’ve been transported directly to the hot and humid streets of downtown Rio just in time for the party!
We would have loved a real samba party soundtrack instead of the odd snippet, but it’s a minor quibble. This is a really eye-catching game with a popular carnival theme and it really immerses you in the pleasures of Rio during Mardi Gras.
How to play Rio Riches
Rio Riches is a 5 reel, 30 payline pokie with staking options between 90c and $36 per spin. You can easily set your gaming options in the player interface below the reels. Play for 10 free spins on a set of reels that offer 90 paylines or one of the 5 jackpot prizes.
Rio Riches RTP and volatility
With an RTP of 94.08% and medium volatility, you can shimmy your way to riches without needing a massive bankroll. Medium variance games offer the best of both worlds, with smaller base game wins keeping your bankroll in check until the hugely lucrative Stack Up feature hits.
How to win at Rio Riches
The gameplay in Rio Riches is quite straightforward, and depends on creating combinations of winning symbols on one of the 30 paylines. The highest paying symbol here is the peacock feather necklace that rewards you with a 2x multiplier when you land 5, while the Stacked Up symbol carries a tasty 50x multiplier for a full house.
Rio Riches bonus features
The bonus features are where Rio Riches really comes into its own as a pokie. The Stacked Up feature is triggered by landing 3 or more of the Stacked Up symbol anywhere in sight and it rewards you with 10 free spins, along with either a 3x, 10x or whopping 50x multiplier.
Even better, the reels can go wild at random for even more winning opportunities. Land 3 or more Scatters during the feature and you’ll unlock an extra 5 free spins and 30 additional paylines. 3 more Scatters adds 2 more free spins and another 30 paylines to dramatically increase your chances of a tasty payout.
And as if that wasn’t enough to get you shaking your booty in delight, there are still those 5 juicy jackpots to unleash. Take a walk on the golden beach that spins up only on reel 3 and you’ll unlock the bonus spin feature. Land a golden beach symbol on all 5 reels and the grand $15,000 jackpot is yours.
