Dynamite Riches slot

Dynamite Riches slot: what sets it apart

Most slots save their best tricks for the bonus round. Dynamite Riches builds them up during the base game. Every dynamite wild you collect burns the fuse a little further, and each stage of the fuse adds a modifier that changes how the reels behave.

The game comes from Red Tiger, founded in 2014, bought by NetEnt in September 2019 and part of Evolution since December 2020. Red Tiger is known for daily drop jackpots and Megaways remakes; you can see more of its games on our Red Tiger slots page or in our full list of slot reviews.

The catch is the RTP. At 94.76%, the listed figure is well below the 96% that many players treat as a benchmark. That doesn’t make the game unfair, but it does make it more expensive to play, and we show how much in pounds below.

Dynamite Riches RTP, paylines and specs

“Other versions exist” means a casino may run a different RTP setting from the one listed. The only reliable figure for your app is the one in the game’s help screen. The Gambling Commission’s RTS 3 standard on game rules and the likelihood of winning (opens in a new tab) requires that information to be available to you.

How the features work: the fuse, the modifiers and Gold Spins

Three kinds of wild

Dynamite Riches has gold bar wilds, diamond wilds and dynamite wilds. Diamond wilds include Mega Wilds that cover a 2×2 or 3×3 block, so one symbol can fill several positions at once. The dynamite wild is the one that drives the fuse.

The fuse sequence

1. Collect dynamite wilds as they land; each one burns the fuse further.
2. The first stage switches on a modifier that removes low-value symbols.
3. The next stage adds random wilds.
4. The third brings in a compass multiplier of up to 10×.
5. The final stage adds Mega Wilds.

The modifiers come in that fixed order, so you always know what the next stage will bring. Removing low-value symbols leaves the reels to the better-paying ones, random wilds help complete lines, and the compass multiplier can raise a win by up to ten times.

Gold Spins free spins

Three or more Gold Spins scatters trigger free spins. Extra scatters during the round add more spins, and any modifiers you have already switched on through the fuse stay active for the whole round. That link is what makes the fuse matter: a long fuse at the moment the bonus lands means a stronger round.

What the Dynamite Riches RTP costs compared with other Red Tiger slots

RTP is the long-run share of stakes a game pays back; the rest is the house edge. Comparing a few Red Tiger games side by side shows what the lower figure means in practice.

Against Mystery Reels, Dynamite Riches costs £1.48 more for every £100 you stake. Over a single session that difference is small next to normal ups and downs, but it adds up for anyone who plays the game regularly. Our page on high RTP slot apps lists games at the other end of the scale.

Dynamite Riches on a £20 budget

Because the fuse builds through the base game, this is a slot where the number of spins matters. At £1, a £20 budget gives the fuse 20 spins to make progress; at 10p it gets 200. That doesn’t change the house edge, but it does change how much of the game you see. Wins are usually re-staked, so actual turnover and expected cost tend to be higher than the table suggests.

Losses are the likely result over time, so only play with money you have set aside for entertainment. If gambling stops feeling like fun, the National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133, 24 hours a day.

Playing Dynamite Riches on iPhone and Android

The game opens inside a casino’s app or mobile browser from the game lobby; there is nothing separate to install. A 5×4 grid has one more row than a classic slot, and the fuse display adds another thing to track, so a phone with a larger screen is easier to read.

Supported orientations aren’t listed in the specification, so rotate your phone to see what your app allows. Our guides to downloading a casino app on iPhone and installing a casino app on Android cover getting set up safely, and our answer on what happens if your app crashes mid-game explains how results are kept.

Dynamite Riches review: who it suits

Dynamite Riches suits players who enjoy a slot with a visible build-up and don’t mind paying a little more per spin for it. If RTP matters most to you, Mystery Reels from the same studio returns more over time.
