Head over to the Emerald Isle for some online fun with Rainbow Wilds Megaways from Iron Dog Studios. Joining the plethora of Irish-themed games, Rainbow Wilds Megaways embodies a wider Celtic theme with plenty of potential cash prizes to claim. Line up the top combination, and players could win up to a potential x12,000.
Regular slots players may be getting a sense of deja vu with this game, and they’d be right. Rainbow Wilds is an online slot that was released by Iron Dog Studio in 2018. It proved to be such a hit that they’ve created a Megaways version, licensing the mechanism from BTG. Many studios have done the same with their titles, including Red Tiger Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming and Pragmatic Play.
As a Megaways game, the board is set up as players would expect, with a generous six reels and 117,649 ways to win. Betting stretches from 0.10 to 50.00 per spin and comes with a high volatility, so patience is vital.
As an Irish-themed slot, it's not a surprise to discover green hues in every direction. Leprechauns put in an occasional appearance, but the main theme is Celtic fantasy. Imagine an enchanted woodland with twisted tree trunks, an ethereal glow and elvish folk in abundance, and you'll be perfectly prepared for this slot.
The paytable includes the usual playing card royals for the low pays but fun premiums, including an elf, a leprechaun, a pint of Guinness, horseshoe, heart and an elk.
A wild can also appear on reels 2-6 to stand in for any of the regular symbols to create more potential matches.
This online slot includes cascading reels, as per many other Megaways titles. This means that when a win lands, the winning symbols are removed, and more drop down onto the board. This creates new combinations, and potentially more wins. This cycle will continue until no more winning combinations can be seen.
If players manage four cascades in a row, the free spins bonus will be triggered. Progress can be tracked on the meter to the left of the reels; four cascades award eight free spins, with every subsequent cascade giving two extra free spins.
There’s a second meter, the Consecutive Losses Meter, a rather unusual measurement! But if you’re unlucky enough to hit four losses in a row, you’ll collect two free spins.
During the free spins, players will start with a +1 multiplier which can continue to rise during the bonus with no upper limit. Regular wilds, sticky wilds and mushroom wilds can also appear during the free spins.
Mushroom wilds spread after they land, adding three more wilds to the board. They also add +1 to any other wild that’s on the same reel.
The gameplay in Rainbow Wilds Megaways is simply stunning, and it's accompanied by features and bonuses which are full of fun. There may not be anything truly original, but it's an online slot that all will enjoy.
