Wild Wild Riches slot review

Wild Wild Riches slot at a glance

Wild Wild Riches comes from Pragmatic Play, the Gibraltar-based studio behind Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza, which holds a UK Gambling Commission licence. It was released in 2020 and uses a pot-of-gold look, built around money symbols and a collect mechanic.

The reel set is unusual. Reels 1 and 2 have three rows each, while reels 3, 4 and 5 have four. That shape gives 576 ways to win, and it also sets up the game’s main rule: the left-hand reels are where the wilds live.

Check the RTP shown in the game’s information screen inside your casino app. If it differs from 96.77%, the casino is running another version, and the figure on screen is the one that applies.

How 576 ways to win works on this reel set

In a ways-to-win slot there are no fixed lines. A win needs matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the left, in any row. To count the ways, multiply the number of rows on each reel.

For Wild Wild Riches that is 3 × 3 × 4 × 4 × 4 = 576. A standard five-reel, three-row slot gives 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 243, so the extra row on the last three reels more than doubles the combinations. More ways don’t mean a higher return, though: the RTP already accounts for how the paytable is set against those combinations.

Because every win must start on reel 1, and wilds only land on reels 1 and 2, a wild on the left is valuable. It can stand in at the very start of a combination, which is where most ways wins begin.

How the features work in Wild Wild Riches

The game has two linked features, and both depend on wilds landing on the first two reels. Gambling.com’s review (opens in a new tab) and Casinos.com’s overview (opens in a new tab) describe the same set-up.

Pot of gold money symbols and the collect

Pot of gold money symbols can land on the reels showing either a cash value or a jackpot prize. On their own, they do nothing. When a wild lands on reel 1 and another on reel 2 in the same spin, every money symbol in view is collected and its value is paid out.

That makes the base game a waiting game. You may see several pots of gold land with no wild pair to collect them, and that is simply how the feature is built.

Free spins

Free spins start when a wild lands on reel 1, a wild lands on reel 2 and a bonus symbol lands on reel 3, all on the same spin. You get 10 free spins. During the round, wilds and money symbols appear more often, which makes collects more likely than in the base game. The round can be retriggered for more spins.

Wild Wild Riches RTP, volatility and max win

An RTP of 96.77% leaves a house edge of 3.23%. Over a very long run, that is about 3p lost for every £1 staked. It says nothing about any one session.

The game is high volatility. The return is weighted towards the rarer moments when both wild reels connect with a screen of money symbols, or when free spins go well. In between, expect plenty of spins with small or no wins.

The max win is 4,608 times your stake. Here is what that cap means in pounds at common stakes, alongside the average cost of 200 spins.

Think of 4,608x as an upper limit rather than something to aim for. Most sessions on a high-volatility game end without anything close to it.

Planning a £20 session on Wild Wild Riches

At 10p a spin, £20 buys 200 spins if nothing lands. At 50p it buys 40, and at £1 just 20. On a high-volatility game, fewer spins means a higher chance of the budget going before you see a collect or the bonus.

For most people a £20 budget sits more comfortably at the lower end. The average cost per £1 staked is the same at every stake, but a smaller stake spreads your money across more spins, which smooths out the swings a little.

1. Choose your total budget before you open the app, and treat it as the cost of entertainment.
2. Set a matching deposit limit in your account settings.
3. Pick a stake that gives you at least 100 spins from the budget.
4. Keep an eye on the net spend display the app must show while you play.
5. Stop when the budget is used, and don’t top up to chase losses.

Wild Wild Riches on iPhone, iPad and Android

Like most current slots, Wild Wild Riches loads inside the casino’s app or mobile site rather than as a separate download. The phone version uses the same maths as desktop. Our specifications don’t confirm a portrait layout, so be ready to rotate the screen.

The 3-3-4-4-4 shape is worth a moment’s thought on a small display. The left-hand reels are shorter, so the wilds on reels 1 and 2 sit in the most compact part of the grid. On a larger phone or tablet, the money values on each pot of gold are easier to read.

UK slot rules that change how Wild Wild Riches plays

Several Gambling Commission rules shape this game in a UK app, so it may feel different from footage recorded elsewhere.

The government’s announcement of the £2 stake limit for under-25s (opens in a new tab) explains the reasoning behind the age-based cap. You can read more in our slot stake limits and autoplay ban explainers.

Wild Wild Riches review verdict: pros and cons

Wild Wild Riches is a clean, focused slot. Once you know the rule about reels 1 and 2, every spin is easy to read. It suits players who enjoy waiting for one specific combination and can accept long gaps between rewards.
