Somewhere over the Rainbow Sky Vegas has a Pot of Gold for you!

December 27, 2011

We often report on new online slot launches. These have usually been developed by online gaming heavyweights such as Net Entertainment, Playtech and Microgaming. So it is nice to be reporting on something a little different for a change. Anyone who as ever played arcade slots will know the name Barcrest; they are one of the big names in arcade game design and development. In an unprecedented move, Barcrest have teamed up with Sky Vegas, a leading online casino, to develop an online slots version of the popular arcade game Rainbow Riches.

Rainbow Riches is an online slot which follows an Irish theme. The Irish theme revolves the whole concept of the “luck of the Irish” and the Irish myth that at the end of every rainbow a pot of gold can be found. Although this is nothing more than a myth in real life, within the Rainbow Riches online slot it is a true statement, in the form of a £200,000 jackpot payout.

Sky Vegas have a reputation for deploying revolutionary new online slots and Rainbow Riches is no exception. By taking a popular arcade game and re-developing it to fit the online slot format they are opening up an avenue which in theory, gains them access to the entire Barcrest range of arcade slots.

The online slot version of Rainbow Riches delivers a gaming experience that will be familiar to online slots player. 5 reels offering 20 win lines and three excellent bonus features. The three bonus rounds are named Pots of Gold, Wishing Well and Roads to Riches. Each of these bonus features offers the player a chance at the £200,000 jackpot.

Rainbow Riches is also available to play on the Apple iPhone. Which is likely to make it one of the most popular mobile online slots of 2012.

We can imagine that if Rainbow Riches works out well for Sky Vegas, that they will continue to partner with Barcrest, and begin converting more established arcade slots to the online slots format. This can only be good news for us, the online slots players. However, it will be interesting to see how the major online slots developers react to this revolutionary idea.
