Rage to Riches

Everyone’s who a long time reader of our website knows we like elaborate themes. They add a dash of immersion to the slot, and make the player feel immersed.

That said, even a simple theme can be captivating when done well. And Play’n Go’s game very clearly proves us! Once it’s got you caught in its loop, there’s no escape!

Rage to Riches Slot Review

Rage to Riches is played on a five reel board, where each reel is three symbols tall. There’s a total of 20 fixed paylines with cascading reels enabled. That means when you collect a win, it will explode, making room for icons from the top of the screen to fall down. This then allows brand new symbols to appear in the newly empty spaces, allowing online gamblers to connect multiple wins. And all for the price of a single spin!

The developers clearly knew you were going to be doing this, because they designed a multiplier mechanic around it. Each time you land a consecutive win using this re-spin method, you increase your multiplier! There are other cool special features to talk about, too. Where’s a pick-and-click bonus when you collect enough stars, as one. And the other is a free spins round, complete with stronger multipliers and guaranteed wins!

Theme & Symbols

Play’n Go’s release goes to show that even a Godzilla knock-off slot can be popular if done well. To be fair, they do have the rule of cool on their side. After all, who doesn’t love giant mutant animals who want to tear down the city and eat all the people? Well, we probably wouldn’t find it nearly as cool if we were the ones getting eaten…

But we’re digressing! Back to the main course – graphics! We can’t say we’re huge fans of the visuals, but there are some parts which we liked a lot. Each winning spin feels awesome thanks to the animations. Watching the reels blow up is really satisfying. Doubly so if Rage to Riches kept you from your rightfully earned wins!

Icon designs feel like the developers gave up half-way through. We get three awesome monsters, with their portraits fully animated and ready to fight. And then, the other five available symbols are just playing card royals. These cool letters and numbers drawn with graffiti help them blend in with other icons. A blonde blow-drying her hair is the Scatter, while the slot’s logo is the Wild.

How to Play Rage to Riches

You play this game on a 5×3 board, with 20 fixed paylines which pay left to right. Each win is usually accompanied by a re-spin or two, accompanied with a multiplier for your troubles. Play’n Go’s release has a medium variance, and a jackpot worth 100x your total stake. That might seem small, but it can pile on quickly if you’re really lucky!

Rage to Riches doesn’t give us anything new in its special features. Cascading reels and multipliers have been done before, as have pick-and-click bonuses and free spins. But using these basic building blocks, the software provider creates something fun and interesting. All special features are geared towards frequent, smaller wins, which favor casual players more than serious gamblers.

Unfortunately, the slot isn’t straight-forward with changing its bet. You have to enter the menu and find the coins and coin value sliders. Tweak these two to your liking by dragging their meter left or right. This will display your wager both in coins and in raw cash. This means you can wager between $0.20 and $100 on each spin.

Bonus Features

• Cascading Reels & Multipliers

After each win, icons that were part of that combination blow up. They leave empty spaces in their wake, which are filled by existing symbols. But, what happens to the empty spaces? The game will add new icons in their place. And since these are brand new symbols, you get a shot at scoring multiple wins at once. Doing so successfully increases your multiplier!

• Free Spins

Find three or more Scatters to start a free spins round. After each third spin, if no other win has shown up, a guaranteed prize is granted to the player! You can retrigger this special feature for a total of fifty free spins.

• Scatter Bonus

Collect the playing card royals: 10, J, Q, K and A in order from left to add a star. When you complete five stars, you get a pick-and-click special feature. Here, you choose one of the monsters, and they give you a cash prize between 10x and 100x.

Rage to Riches Payouts
