Rainbow Riches Pick ’n’ Mix FAQ
What is Rainbow Riches Pick ’n’ Mix, in plain English?
It’s a classic Light & Wonder slot (released March 2016) where the big hook isn’t “wait for one bonus” — it’s that you choose 1 to 3 bonuses to activate, and then you’re basically playing toward the bonus style you picked.
Who made Rainbow Riches Pick ’n’ Mix?
Light & Wonder — a well-known studio behind a lot of UK-friendly, feature-led slots.
What’s the layout and paylines?
It’s 5 reels × 3 rows with 20 fixed paylines. Old-school setup, easy to read, no weird “ways” maths.
Is it high volatility? What does that feel like?
Yes — high volatility. In real play that usually means quieter stretches can happen, and bigger moments tend to come in bursts rather than constant drip wins.
What’s the max win?
Up to 500x your stake. It’s a headline figure tied to the game’s top-paying moments, so it won’t be something you see regularly — think of it as the “ceiling” the slot can reach when everything lines up, rather than a realistic expectation for a normal session.
What’s the betting range in the UK?
Typical UK-facing figures: £0.20 min bet and £5 max bet. (Casinos can display slightly different formats, but those are the classic numbers.)
How Wins Work
How are wins paid?
Line wins pay left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the far-left reel.
Can multiple wins pay on the same line?
No — on each payline, only the highest win pays. So if a line somehow contains more than one possible combo, the game pays the best one.
Do wins on different paylines stack?
Yes. Wins on any of the 20 lines add together into your total spin win.
What’s the deal with the Wild symbol?
Wild substitutes for regular symbols to help complete line wins — but it doesn’t substitute for the bonus scatter symbols (the special feature icons).
What is the Rainbow Riches logo symbol and why do people talk about it?
It’s one of the headline symbols, and it can deliver strong line payouts. Also, a full-screen moment can link to that 500x vibe people chase.
The Pick ’n’ Mix Idea
What does “Pick ’n’ Mix” actually mean here?
When Rainbow Riches Pick ‘n’ Mix loads, you’re presented with five bonus rounds and can pick 1 to 3 to activate. That choice really shapes the vibe of the session.
Can I change my bonus choices later?
Yes — you can use the Bonus Reset option to go back to the selection screen before you start a new game/spin session.
Do I have to pick at least one bonus?
Yes. The game requires at least 1 active bonus selected to play.
Can bonus symbols land even if I didn’t select that bonus?
No — that’s the point. If you didn’t choose a bonus, you’re basically telling the game “don’t offer me that feature”.
Do bonus wins pay on top of line wins?
Yes. Bonus symbol wins/features pay in addition to any normal line win that happens on the same spin.
Bonus Symbols
Which symbols are “bonus scatters” in the base game?
Road To Riches, Pot of Gold, Cash Crop, Magic Toadstool — these are scatter-style bonus symbols that can land on any reel in the base game.
How do Free Spins symbols work differently?
Free Spins symbols only appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game, and you need at least one on each of those reels to trigger.
How do I trigger the main bonuses in Rainbow Riches Pick ’n’ Mix?
Road To Riches, Pots Of Gold, Cash Crop, and Magic Toadstool trigger with 3, 4, or 5 matching bonus symbols in view for the standard, Super, or Mega version. Free Spins trigger only when Free Spins symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5, awarding 10, 20, or 30 spins for 3, 4, or 5 symbols.
What happens inside each bonus once it starts?
Road To Riches is a wheel that moves you along multiplier steps, paying a final multiplier on your triggering stake. Pots Of Gold is a wheel that lands on a pot multiplier. Cash Crop is a multi-level coin feature that continues with “Go On” or ends with “Collect.” Magic Toadstool is a pick game revealing multipliers or Fairies for extra reveals. Free Spins use an alternate reel set and the Free Spins acts as a Wild during the feature.
How do Super and Mega versions change the bonuses?
They raise the potential and push prizes toward higher multipliers: Road To Riches adds bigger trail multipliers, Pots Of Gold removes Bronze pots, Cash Crop guarantees progress past Level 1, and Magic Toadstool adds higher multipliers with Mega including a guaranteed x500 condition.
How do the bonuses end, and can any of them retrigger?
Road To Riches ends on Collect or the final step and can’t retrigger. Pots Of Gold ends after the wheel award. Cash Crop ends on Collect or after Level 3. Magic Toadstool ends when picks or toadstools run out. Free Spins can retrigger by landing more Free Spins (WILD) symbols, and other bonuses can’t trigger during Free Spins.
What symbols are in Rainbow Riches Pick ’n’ Mix, and which ones matter most?
You’ve got card ranks (A, K, Q, J, 10), a Rainbow Riches logo symbol, and a Wild for standard wins. The key feature symbols are the bonus scatters (Road To Riches, Pots Of Gold, Cash Crop, Magic Toadstool) plus the Free Spins symbol that appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5.
Premium Play, Turbo Mode, and Practical Stuff
What is Premium Play?
It’s a quick-access mode designed to reach bonuses faster, but it only runs at certain stake points (often shown as $2 or $5 in some rule sets). It uses a smaller reel set and can award a selected bonus or “Mega Spins”.
Does Premium Play use my exact stake for bonus payouts?
Not always — some configurations run Premium Play-triggered bonuses at a fixed internal stake (for example $0.60), then apply multipliers to that. It’s worth reading the info screen where you play.
What is Turbo Mode and does it change results?
Turbo speeds up animations/spins, but it does not change outcomes. It’s purely a pacing option.
Why is Turbo disabled in Free Spins?
Because the feature uses its own reel set/flow and the game locks pacing there — annoying sometimes, but normal for older classic-style slots.
Rainbow Riches Pick ’n’ Mix Demo
Can I play Rainbow Riches Pick ’n’ Mix in demo mode?
Yes — many casino offer Rainbow Riches Pick ’n’ Mix Demo. Sometimes it’s instant, sometimes you’ll see an age-check/login step first (especially on regulated UK-facing platforms).
Is it mobile-friendly?
Usually yes: it’s typically HTML5, so it runs in mobile browsers, and you may also find it inside a casino app.
Why does the demo feel different from one website to another?
Not because the slot “changes personality,” but because platforms can have different wrappers, performance, or minor configuration differences (and sometimes certain demo widgets are limited).
