Rainbows End Slot

Irish legends say what is hidden at rainbow’s end. Reach the end of the rainbow and find a secret place where a tricky leprechaun has buried his pot of gold. This Microgaming’s slot was released back in 2008 so it has a modest set of bonus features such as a wild and a free spin game. Yet the slot does have a little twist to it as the wild symbol can become an expanding wild in some cases, which cannot but add winning opportunities to the game.

Playing cards from Nines through Aces are traditionally low-paying symbols that pay up to x250 for five of a kind. There are four Irish-themed symbols including mushrooms (x500), horseshoes (x1000), clover leafs (x2000) and rainbows (x5000). Paytable values are pretty good, especially the themed symbols that pay even for two-of-a-kind combinations.

Before a spin you need to regulate a wager by changing three options: a coin denomination ($0.01 to $0.25), the number of lines (1 to 25) and the amount of coins per each line (1 to 20). If you choose to maximize all the three values, the wager will be $125 per spin, while players on a budget can choose to place $0.25 per spin which is the minimum acceptable bet on all paylines.

Bonus features

The Pot of Gold is a wild symbol. Sadly enough, it cannot form its own combos and substitutes for regular icons when needed. However, it has an extra ability that makes it a quite alluring symbol in the game. Whenever it stops on reels 2 or 4, it expands and covers all the three position on that reel, thus creating more chances to match regular symbols.

The Leprechaun smoking a pipe is a scatter that pays x1 to x100 if even two of these appear in any place. Three scatters (or greater) activate 15 free spins with all awards multiplied by x2 during the feature. The number of free spins is fixed regardless of the number of triggering scatters.

If you want to try and increase your earnings in the base game, click the gamble button after a win and then guess a card color (red or black) or one of the four card suits. Choosing a right option doubles or quadruples your money won.
