Rainbow Riches: Fortune Favours Slot Machine

Rainbow Riches: Fortune Favours is a Barcrest video slot with a 5x3 playing field and 10 fixed paylines. Players can wager between £0.10 up to £500 per spin. The game's main attraction is the magic fairy mystery symbol, alongside Big Bet exclusive bonuses including Wilds, carry-over symbols, and symbol removal.

The visuals are aggressively Irish — a verdant green field with small fences, mountain tops and a lake in the distance, plus the red roof of a country house. A leprechaun occasionally appears from the side to tap on your screen if you've been idle too long. The user interface is the standard Barcrest layout, clearly labelled and easy to use.

Symbols include playing card icons 10, J, Q, K and A, alongside leprechaun-themed artwork — red spotted mushrooms, a lute, a large rainbow, and the game's logo as the highest-paying icon. A golden coin with red letters spelling Wild acts as the game's Wild. There is no Scatter symbol.

During normal gameplay, magic fairy symbols can appear on the playing field. These mystery symbols spin in place before revealing themselves as one of the paytable symbols — and all magic fairies on screen always transform into the same symbol, which can either complete a big win or disrupt an existing combination if they become the wrong symbol.

Gameplay and Features

During Big Bet, players access four reel sets played consecutively, with additional bonuses at higher wagers. At £10, only the magic fairy mystery symbol is active — the same as normal gameplay. At £20, all magic fairies in view transfer to the subsequent reel sets to potentially increase wins. At £30, Wilds become active — this is the only way to activate Wilds, as they do not appear during normal gameplay. At £40, both Wilds and magic fairy symbols carry over to subsequent reels. At £50, the game removes 10, J and Q from the reels entirely — the three lowest-paying icons.

The top jackpot is 250x your wager for a five-of-a-kind Rainbow Riches logo. The game has medium volatility. The RTP is 94% for bets below £2, 96% for bets above £2, and 97.75% for Big Bet spins.

How does the magic fairy mystery symbol work in Rainbow Riches Fortune Favours?

Magic fairy symbols are mystery symbols that appear randomly on the playing field during both normal gameplay and Big Bet. When they land, they spin in place before revealing a paytable symbol. Crucially, all magic fairies on the reels at the same time always transform into the same symbol — this means they can complete large wins, but can equally disrupt existing combinations if they become an unhelpful symbol.

Wild symbols in Rainbow Riches: Fortune Favours are exclusively available during Big Bet spins — they do not appear at all during normal gameplay. Wilds become active starting from the £30 Big Bet tier and above. At £40, Wilds also carry over to subsequent reel sets within the Big Bet session, increasing their impact across all linked spins.

What are the Big Bet tiers in Rainbow Riches Fortune Favours slots?

Big Bet in Rainbow Riches: Fortune Favours plays four consecutive linked reel sets with escalating bonuses. At £10, only the magic fairy is active. At £20, magic fairies carry over between reel sets.
