Rainbow Riches is an iGaming classic. From the banks of gaming cabinets scattered throughout amusement arcades to endless online casino variants, this game is enjoyed by thousands of players every single day.

First launched in 2008, the Rainbow Riches slot is one of the most popular in the United Kingdom. Not only did it spawn a series of games and inspire countless others, but it also led to the creation of an entire online casino launched in its honour!

Rainbow Riches Casino launched in 2019—part-casino and part-homage to the slot that bears its name. It is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and the Government of Gibraltar and owned by the massive Gamesys group, which also owns Jackpotjoy and Monopoly Casino.

The Welcome Offer

Unsurprisingly, the Rainbow Riches slot plays a key role in the casino’s promotions and also features heavily throughout its games room.

As a new player making a first-time deposit, you can get 30 Free Spins to use on this classic game.

These spins are limited to the original Rainbow Riches and can’t be used on its many sequels. Each spin is fixed to a coin value of £0.01 with maximum paylines activated.

Alternatively, you can collect £50 free bingo when you play £10 to be used on any bingo game except for Session Bingo.

To qualify, you need to opt-in to either one of these bonuses, make a qualifying deposit of at least £10, and then wager £10 on the game of your choice.

There is a £10 wagering requirement for both promotions, and any money won after this can be withdrawn in accordance with the casino’s Ts & Cs.

Promotions

The Road to Riches Bonus feature has been copied and reused so many times that it’s starting to look a little clichéd, but Rainbow Riches got there first and remains one of the best examples of a main bonus feature.

This classic feature forms a major part of the Casino’s promotions. All players are invited to take part in Rainbow Riches: Daily Rainbows, where they advance along a colourful trail and reveal symbols on the way.

Each progression moves you closer to a big reveal and to a host of free spins prizes. You have 6 picks every day and can participate as long as you make a daily deposit of £10.

The Doubly Bubbly promotion works in much the same way and has the same £10 deposit requirement. This time, however, you’re tasked with revealing icons on a 10×9 grid and can win up to £750, as well as several small cash and spin prizes.

On the last day of the month, those bubbles double and triple to offer even bigger prizes! To be in with a chance of winning, just keep making qualifying deposits and using your daily picks.

Games and Software Providers

The original Rainbow Riches slot was created by Barcrest, an Oldham-based developer that is now owned by the massive SG Gaming Group, the same group behind Bally Technologies, WMS Gaming, Nyx Gaming Group, and a plethora of own-brand creations.

Rainbow Riches Casino is a joint effort from SG Gaming and Gamesys, another massive iGaming brand. It’s a powerful partnership and it has created an impressive casino.

Software Developers

Needless to say, Rainbow Riches, and SG Gaming titles in general, are given pride of place at Rainbow Riches Casino. But there are over 150 games to choose from, so there is plenty to go around.

Other developers adding their two cents to this colourful roster include NetEnt, IGT, Microgaming, Pragmatic Play, and Blueprint Gaming.

It’s rare to see so many Barcrest, WMS Gaming, and SG Gaming titles under one roof and it’s even rarer to see these games given the spotlight. And that’s a shame, as they have produced some classics over the years, and there is enough here to keep all players happy.

Megaways fans will also be delighted to see a multitude of games that feature this popular Big Time Gaming mechanic.

Bingo Rooms

If the Rainbow Riches slot isn’t satisfying your hunger for leprechauns and pots of gold, try Rainbow Riches Session Bingo. With jackpots that regularly exceed £2,500 and a host of other big prizes, it’s a great way to get your fix of the Emerald Isle.

Some other bingo variants have even higher jackpots, with games that you can enter for just £0.10 and win over £15,000! These include The Crystal Maze Bingo and Blox Bingo, the latter of which had a jackpot of nearly £34,000 at the time of writing.

All games have in-built chat rooms with friendly moderators clearly labelled as “HOST”. Direct any questions you have to these guys.

Depositing & Withdrawing

Does Rainbow Riches Casino accept PayPal? It should be an easy question to answer, but unfortunately, it’s not.

If you look at the casino’s help section, you’ll notice that PayPal is included under a section on “Withdrawal Timeframes”, but under a section titled “Deposit Guidance” a question on whether they accept PayPal has the following answer:

“…we don’t have a license to use PayPal as a payment method on our site unfortunately.”

I tried joining the site and can confirm that only debit cards were offered. However, after contacting the casino directly, they informed me that PayPal is available, but only after the first transaction. What’s more, because you can only withdraw back to a method you used to deposit, you won’t be able to deposit with a debit card and then withdraw with PayPal.

It’s all a little confusing, but needless to say, if you use PayPal, you’ll have to make do with debit cards for the first round of transactions.

All withdrawals are processed in just 24 hours, and that means a wait of up to 3 days (on average) for debit cards and a few minutes for PayPal.

Apparently, Apple Pay is also available on select macOS and iOS devices, but I tried with a MacBook and wasn’t prompted to use it.

Review Summary

As big fans of the Rainbow Riches slot, it’s great to see an entire casino based around it. Throw some fun bingo titles into the mix, and provide the backing of two massive iGaming brands, and you have a winning combination.

The uncertainty regarding payment methods is a little frustrating, as is the fact you have to use debit cards in the first instance, but there are some positives there as well. Firstly, the initial transaction process is very quick and secure, and it even prompted me to set deposit limits right from the beginning.

Secondly, and more importantly, I got through to Live Chat in less than 20 seconds. Not bad for 11:30 PM the day before New Year’s Eve!

All things considered, it’s a top site that is well worth playing.
