Where Wild Wild Riches comes from
Pragmatic Play launched Wild Wild Riches on 23 September 2020, with Luck of the Irish on its logo. Wild Wild Riches Megaways (2023) and Wild Wild Riches Returns, which Pragmatic calls the sequel, are separate games.
How Wild Wild Riches works
Reels one and two show three symbols and reels three to five four, for 576 ways (3 x 3 x 4 x 4 x 4). A way pays for matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost one.
Three special symbols keep to their own reels. The wild, gold letters on a knotwork tile, lands only on reels one and two and stands in for everything except the bonus and the money symbol. The bonus, a green hat, appears only on reel three, and the money symbol, a pot of gold with a value, on reels three to five.
Wild Wild Riches paytable in multiples of the bet
Pays as multiples of the bet: five beer mugs pay 8x, R16 on a R2 spin.
| Symbol | Five | Four | Three |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beer mug | 8x | 3x | 2x |
| Harp | 4x | 2x | 0.8x |
| Horseshoe | 2x | 1x | 0.4x |
| Pipe | 1x | 0.4x | 0.32x |
| Mushrooms | 0.8x | 0.32x | 0.16x |
| Spade | 0.6x | 0.32x | 0.16x |
| Heart, club or diamond | 0.4x | 0.2x | 0.08x |
The Money Collect: what the two wilds pick up
On every spin each pot of gold takes a random value from a set list. When wilds hit reels one and two alongside adjacent pots, forming a left-to-right way, the values of all the pots are collected. That way needs a pot on reel three, where Pragmatic's launch post also puts the money symbol "on the third".
A pot can hold cash of 1x to 25x the total bet on any of its three reels; on reel five only, it can instead hold the Mini, Major or Mega jackpot, or a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier that applies to the total win of the collect.
At R2 a spin: wilds on reels one and two, a 5x pot on reel three, 10x and 2x pots on reel four and a 3x multiplier on reel five make 17x, R34, times three: 51x, R102.
What a pot of gold can hold
Values as the rules list them, with rand on a R2 spin. The jackpot plates beside the reels show 50x, 100x and 500x.
| Value | Multiple of the bet | On a R2 spin | Reels |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 15x or 25x | R2 to R50 | 3, 4 and 5 |
| Mini jackpot | 50x | R100 | 5 only |
| Major jackpot | 100x | R200 | 5 only |
| Mega jackpot | 500x | R1,000 | 5 only |
| Multiplier | 2x, 3x or 5x on the collect's total | - | 5 only |
Free spins: the same two wilds plus the hat
A wild on each of reels one and two with the bonus hat on reel three awards 10 free spins. The Money Collect stays active, and the round's reels carry more wilds and more pots: "free spins with more wilds, bigger money prizes and multipliers", in the demo's words.
The same combination in the round adds 10 more spins, with "No limits!" in the rules, and the win is paid when the round ends. There is no bonus buy.
The ante bet: 20% more per spin for more wild pairs
A switch labelled Double Chance of Features turns on the ante. It raises the bet multiplier by 20%, to 30x per line, and increases the chance of two wilds on reels one and two, and with it of the collect and of free spins. No figure is given for that increase.
Pays and jackpots stay the same, since all wins are multiplied by the base bet, and so does the RTP. That is R2.40 a spin instead of R2, R40 more over 100 spins, for more chances rather than bigger pays.
Low volatility, 96.77% and the 4,600x figure
Pragmatic rates Wild Wild Riches low volatility, games that in its words "pay out more often in smaller amounts, while still having the chance to win big".
Pragmatic's game page gives an RTP of 96.77%. The rules give 96.77% as the maximum and 96% as the minimum.
The demo's intro says up to 4,600 times the bet, R9,200 on a R2 spin. The rules state no win limit, so 4,600x is Pragmatic's figure, not a cap.
