Wild Wild Riches slot review
Wild Wild Riches is Pragmatic Play’s 2020 trip to the end of the rainbow — an Irish-themed five-reel slot built on the studio’s trusted money-respin chassis, where pots of gold land carrying real cash values, lock in place, and respin towards a full-board payday. It sits in the curious middle ground of Irish slots — more modern than the Barcrest classics, gentler than the Megaways crowd — and its unusually strong published RTP has made it a quiet favourite among players who read the small print.
How Wild Wild Riches plays
Pipes, pints, harps and horseshoes share the reels with the leprechaun and the card royals, a wild filling gaps in the line wins. The pots of gold are the engine: each arrives stamped with a visible cash value, and gathering enough of them at once is what every spin is quietly about.
Money respin and free spins
Land the required pots together and the respin feature fires: the triggering pots lock, three respins begin, and every fresh pot that sticks resets the counter while adding its value to the haul. When the music stops, all locked pots pay as one — a board filled corner to corner with gold is the game’s defining screen. A separate scatter-triggered free-spins round keeps the leprechaun busy between respin hunts, with the pot economy running throughout.
RTP, volatility and top wins
The commonly published RTP is around 96.8%, notably generous for the genre, with operator versions varying — the in-game information panel shows the live figure. Volatility is medium-high, with the respin board-fill carrying the top end.

What is the RTP?
Around 96.8% in the commonly published version, with operator variants — check the in-game information panel.
Is it related to Rainbow Riches?
