International Game Technology (IGT) draws its inspiration from very interesting places. While today’s trends sees plenty of online pokies being based on pop culture icons, IGT’s latest game is based on a classic art movement. Nouveau Riche is a new online pokie based on the Art Nouveau movement that was popular during the early 1900s.
Nouveau Riche is a gorgeous online pokie, with vibrant graphics and a beautiful soundtrack. The symbols consist of three beautiful muses and a number of sparkling gems. The symbols, the border and the background are all drawn in the Art Nouveau style, so if you’re interested in art history at all, you will really appreciate the work that has gone into this game.
From a gameplay perspective, Nouveau Riche provides players with great winning potential due to its format. Rather than having spinning reels, the game consists of Free Fall symbols. This means that the symbols fall from the top of the screen into a 3×5 grid. Whenever the player hits a winning combination, the symbols involved in the combo disappear and new symbols fall from the top of the screen.
This allows players to hit multiple wins one after another during a single spin. There are also stacked wild symbols. This means that the wild symbols will appear in groups of three, to help the player trigger winning combinations. When three bonus symbols appear on the same payline, the player triggers the free spins round.
The round begins when the player picks one muse, who determines how many free spins they will receive. During this round, +1 symbols will appear, which will add more free spins to the player’s total. The bonus frequency is quite low, so it certainly helps to have the +1 symbols to help players make the free spins last as long as possible.
