Rainbow Wishes

The Irish might not have known it at the time, but the creation of the leprechaun and his affiliation to a pot of gold that exists at the end of a rainbow would go on to become one of the most popular themes for slot machines online in Canada. InTouch Games is the latest studio to have cashed in on this story with the release of Rainbow Wishes, one of their latest online slots with a progressive jackpot that also uses the ever-gold free spins feature. We'll also be looking at the scratchcard addition as well as how you can add shamrocking multipliers to your wins, to make them wins of epic proportions.

Playing an Irish themed slot always feels like a replay of the previous title you played with the same theme. We say this with complete respect to the Irish, but most of the online casino games with this theme, if not all, are flouting the four leaf clover, horse show, leprechaun etc. It's really a case of seen one, seen 'em all. But this doesn’t mean that the mechanics and features are always the same. Rainbow Wishes makes use of 5 reels and 20 paylines, which is quite similar to this studio’s previous slots online, such as Sun Kingdom and Fantasy Gold, in that there are quite a low number of win lines on a visually rich game. There isn’t any flashy reel addition here like cascading reels or Megaways, so it’s quite a traditional slots title at its core.

The deeper we look into Rainbow Wishes, the more we realise that it’s been designed with the average slots player in mind. There’s isn’t a massive wagering window, which, if there was, would be music to the ears of high rollers. We also don’t get the sense that it’s overly volatile, so there isn’t anything here that would take new iGamers by surprise. You'll be more than able to spin the reels on your iOS or Android mobile device, which homebodies can obviously play on their preferred desktop screens.

The symbols that you’ll be seeing on a frequent basis are the regular symbols. These are split into the lower and higher value categories and carry no special functions other than to potentially land as 3, 4 or 5 in a line to give you a cash winning combination. The lower value icons are playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A, while the symbols that will pay higher amounts for winning combinations are valuable gemstones of different colours.

Keep an eye out for the wild symbol, which can act as any of the regular symbols to make up winning combinations. The only symbols that the wild can’t substitute are the Free Spins icon and the Lucky Rainbow.

The free spins is one of the areas of Rainbow Wishes that you’ll want to be spending most of your time utilising. To trigger the free spins game, you'll need to land three or more Free Spins icons on the same spin, anywhere on the reels. This will give you five free spins, which at first glance, does seem a bit underwhelming. However, during the spins, you'll have far more wild icons in play while you also have the chance to land a Lucky Clover symbol which can come with a 1,000x multiplier. To add to it all, multipliers are in play during the spins too.

Another feature that really helps with cash wins is the scratchcard. There are two scratchcard games, with the Lucky Rainbow occurring during regular play – creating another free spins game entry – and the Lucky Clover game occurring during free spins. The Lucky Clover can award 1,000x your bet in cash as a prize.

Another version of the free spins, called the Lucky Rainbow free spins, has a massive wild stretched across the reels for easier wins. It's safe to say that what seems from the outside a slightly dull slots release has potential for creating huge thrills as well as cash rewards. Why not get in on the action now and see what all the bonus features can do for your cash balance.
