The Wild Wild Riches ‘Luck Of The Irish’ demo comes down to two symbols. A wild on reel 1, a wild on reel 2, and every pot of gold sitting in the same pay way on reels 3, 4 and 5 pays out its value. One wild short, and the pots sit there showing 6x or 8x and do nothing. Pragmatic Play released this Irish slot in September 2020 on a 3-3-4-4-4 board with 576 ways to win, and none of those ways pays a pot without the wild pair. The scenery is cheerful, and the base game is quiet, with line pays topping out at 8x for five beers across.
Pots of gold land on reels 3, 4 and 5 only, and each one takes a fresh value every spin. Most carry a direct award between 1x and 25x the total bet. A few carry the Mini, Major, or Mega jackpot at 50x, 100x, and 500x, and a few carry a 2x, 3x, or 5x multiplier; both types show up on reel 5 alone. The collect fires when wilds hit reels 1 and 2 with adjacent pots along a left-to-right way, and the game then adds every pot in that way. A multiplier pot applies to the full collect total, including jackpot values. A column of four pots on reel 5 with hearts and spades on reels 1 and 2 pays nothing, and the values reset on the next spin.
A green hat on reel 3 with wilds behind it on reels 1 and 2 starts 10 free spins, so the trigger uses the same two wilds the collect needs. The hat appears on reel 3 only and is the bonus symbol. The reel strips change for the round, with more wilds and more pots, and the collect stays live throughout. The same three-symbol combination inside the round adds 10 more spins, and the rules put no limit on how many times that can happen.
A toggle on the left of the reels raises the stake by 20%; at $2 it reads $2.40. The extra 20% pays for more wilds on reels 1 and 2, which raises the odds of both the collect and the free spins in one move. There’s no bonus buy, so this toggle is the only way to increase the feature rate.
New players read 576 ways as 576 chances at the pots. The wild sits on reels 1 and 2, and nowhere else, substitutes for every symbol except the hat and the pot, and no pot pays without both wilds on the same spin. Line wins run left to right across adjacent reels, so a lone wild on reel 1 still starts most of the beer and harp combinations, but those top out at 8x. Reels 1 and 2 show 3 rows and reels 3 to 5 show 4, so the pots have 12 positions to land on and the wilds have 6. A screen with five pots and one wild pays the line value of whatever that wild completes and nothing from the pots.
The Double Chance toggle raises every stake by 20%, and the $300 maximum on the bet menu is the ante figure, the top stake with the toggle on. Bets start at $0.25. The demo runs at 96.77% RTP; the table below carries the lower setting, and the rules screen in any version shows which one is live. Volatility is High in this rating, not the Low the rules screen shows, because nothing of size pays until two specific reels cooperate.
| Setting | RTP |
|---|---|
| Demo (maximum) | 96.77% |
| Minimum setting | 96.00% |
The rules set no cap on a round. The largest single value on the board is the Mega jackpot at 500x the bet, and a multiplier pot on the same reel applies to the collect total the jackpot sits in.
The beer mug tops the regular symbols at 8x for five across, the harp follows at 4x, and the four card suits fill the bottom of the table. Three of a kind on the suits pays 0.08x, so a screen full of hearts is close to a blank. Cash figures are read at a $2 stake.
| Symbol (multiples of the total bet) | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beer mug | 2x | 3x | 8x |
| Harp | 0.8x | 2x | 4x |
| Horseshoe | 0.4x | 1x | 2x |
| Pipe | 0.32x | 0.4x | 1x |
| Mushroom | 0.16x | 0.32x | 0.8x |
| Spade | 0.16x | 0.32x | 0.6x |
| Heart | 0.08x | 0.2x | 0.4x |
| Club | 0.08x | 0.2x | 0.4x |
| Diamond | 0.08x | 0.2x | 0.4x |
The pots pay by the value they show rather than by count, which separates this game from Wolf Gold. Wolf Gold holds its moons for a respin round and lets the values build over several spins. Wild Wild Riches pays every pot the spin the two wilds land on and holds nothing over.
| Money symbol value | Multiple of bet | Reels |
|---|---|---|
| Direct award | 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 15x or 25x | 3, 4, 5 |
| Mini jackpot | 50x | 5 |
| Major jackpot | 100x | 5 |
| Mega jackpot | 500x | 5 |
| Multiplier | 2x, 3x or 5x on the collect total | 5 |
Wild Wild Riches pays through one gate, wilds on reels 1 and 2 together, and the line pays behind it top out at 8x. The 96.77% return is strong for a collect slot and the free spins loosen the gate, but standard play runs flat for long stretches.
576 ways to win, and the collect feature uses none of them. Everything that pays real size in Wild Wild Riches goes through wilds on reels 1 and 2, and the ways only decide which pots on reels 3 to 5 count once that pair lands. The line pays are small; five beers across pays 8x, and a stretch that leans on line wins alone runs flat.
The pots refresh their values every spin, so you’re always looking at money you can’t reach. A reel 5 column of 6x and 8x pots with hearts and spades on the first two reels pays nothing from the pots. The Mega at 500x and the 5x multiplier live on that same reel, and the rules apply the multiplier to the entire collect total, including jackpot value. That is the high end, and it needs three separate things on one spin.
Against the rest of Pragmatic Play’s collect games, it sits in the middle. Wolf Gold spreads its jackpots across a respin round, and Mustang Gold puts a collector symbol on reel 5 to sweep the board. Wild Wild Riches asks for a single-spin alignment and offers no buy to shortcut it. That demand usually comes with a modest cap attached; here the return is 96.77%, and the rules cap nothing.
The art is sunny and cheap in a pleasant way. Rainbow, white fence, a hat full of coins on a stump; the reels are dark wood, and the symbols are big, bright and easy to read from a phone. The Luck of the Irish subtitle under the logo is the only nod to a story.
Free spins are the best part, because the strips carry more wilds and more pots, and the retrigger has no limit. Ten spins with a stacked chance of the double wild is where the collect finally pays the way the board keeps promising. It is an honest collect slot with a better return than most of its kind and not much else to hold you between features.
