Rainbow Jackpots Megaways Slot Review

The Rainbow Jackpots Megaways Slot Game    

One thing about Irish-themed slots is that they’ll adopt almost a similar design. As such, you’re looking at lush green meadows for this game’s background set somewhere in the mythical Emerald Isle.

Red Tiger Gaming makes the design more homely and realistic, with a log cabin flanking the reels bordered by twisty wood. It’s the kind of environment you’d yearn to spend an intimate picnic in while taking in the beauty and sounds of nature.

When you spin the Rainbow Jackpots Megaways reels, a therapeutically soft melody elevates the aura. Surprisingly, the game doesn’t have an option to mute the sounds.

Symbols and Payouts

The 6-reel gameboard employs 2-7 varying rows, producing up to 117,649 megaways! Meanwhile, the “Pays” button allows you to access the paytable with one click.

Players get eight payout symbols, which you’ll need to match, as shown in the paytable. However, to form wins, the symbol combinations should land from left to right on successive reels, with the first symbol on the leftmost column.  

To determine the prize value, multiply the total stake by the paytable symbol multiplier!

Looking at the Rainbow Jackpots Megaways paytable reveals that the low-paying symbols are the 10 through to A card signs. The first three ranks pay 0.1x, 0.2x, 0.25x, and 0.3x stake, while the latter two award 0.1x, 0.2x, 0.3x, and 0.4x the bet for 3+ O-A-K.

Then, the highs include:

• Leprechaun’s Hat - 0.2x, 0.4x, 0.45x, and 0.6x bet.

• Horseshoe - 0.25x, 0.45x, 0.6x, and 1x stake.

• Four-leaf Clover - 0.3x, 0.6x, 1x, and 2.5x the bet.

Further, this slot has a Wild logo, which lands on reels 2-5 and substitutes for all paying symbols. As if that’s not all, there are also Fairy Bonus (Pixie), Beer Bonus (Beer Pints), and Free Spins (Golden Pot) scatters.

Rainbow Jackpots Megaways Slot Bonus Features

This gameplay has many bonuses: Lucky Leprechaun Features, free spins, and a progressive jackpot! 

Lucky Leprechaun Features

The sneaky Leprechaun may randomly pop up during a spin, blow his lucky pipe, and trigger the Random Tiles, Mega Random Tiles, Beer Bonus, Mega Beer Bonus, Free Spins, Mega Free Spins, Fairy Bonus, or Mega Fairy Bonus!

Random Tiles

The lucky pipe may reveal a wild or other paying symbol except the royals. If it happens, 3+ pairs of this symbol type will be showered on the Rainbow Jackpots Megaways reels from left to right. The regular symbols appear from the leftmost reel, while wilds appear from the second column. 

The lucky pipe may also reveal 3+ Mega Random Tiles, covering a whole column—these rain and land on the reels as with the regular Random Tiles. However, the Mega Random Tiles have 2x-7x multipliers and count for as many symbols as the multiplier displayed when participating in a way win.

Beer Bonus

Hit 3 or 4 Beer Bonus scatters on columns 2-5 to trigger the regular or Mega Beer Bonus, respectively. Contrarily, the lucky pipe may also reveal 3 or 4 Beer Bonus scatters, activating the respective feature.

At the start of the bonus rounds, four beer taps will appear above the middle reels. For the regular Beer Bonus, you need to pick one of the taps, while for the Mega Beer Bonus, all four taps will be awarded.

Only the tap picked in the regular bonus will pay a random cash prize worth 10x to 60x the stake. Further, all four taps in the Mega Beer Bonus award between 50x and 1000x the bet!

Fairy Bonus

Land 3+ Fairy Bonus scatters anywhere on the reels or wish for the lucky pipe to reveal 3 or 4 Fairy Bonus scatters to trigger this feature. The bonus has 6 levels, and you start from the first level. Hitting 4, 5, or 6 Fairy Bonus scatters guarantees reaching levels 2-4, respectively.

Every level has 6 crystals to choose from, each revealing an instant cash award as follows:

• Level 1 - 5x to 20x bet.

• Level 2 - 10x to 50x stake.

• Level 3 - 30x to 150x bet.

• Level 4 - 50x to 250x bet.

• Level 5 - 100x to 1,000x stake.

• Level 6 - 500x to 5,000x bet.

Two of the crystals on level 1 and one of the other crystals on the rest of the levels may also reveal a level-up arrow beside the cash prize. A level-up arrow awards an extra pick at this Rainbow Jackpots Megaways bonus’ next level.

Free Spins

Land 3 or 4 Free Spins scatters on the 2nd to 5th columns to trigger the regular and Mega Free Spins, respectively. The leprechaun’s lucky pipe may reveal 3 or 4 Free Spins scatters.

A win multiplier that increases by one for every winning type of symbol in a spin. It starts from 1x and 5x in the regular and Mega Free Spins, respectively, and applies to all wins. Every free spins symbol that lands during the bonus awards +1 more spin. The lucky pipe can only reveal the Random Tiles or Mega Random Tiles.

Progressive Jackpot Game

This game has three progressive jackpots:

• Daily Cash Booster starts at €500.
• Daily Jackpot seeded at €2,000.
• Hourly Jackpot seeded at €100.

The jackpots are accumulated by stakes on games offering them and, in some cases, on multiple websites. A percentage of each total stake accumulates into the common pot.

How to Win at Rainbow Jackpots Megaways Slot

We’ve come a long way past the symbols, payouts, and bonuses. But here’s where I show you how to play and win.

First, press the Stake display to access the bet selector, then scroll up or down until you settle on your preferred amount. The bets range between €0.20 and €20.

Afterwards, press the yellow Spin button to play once or use the Auto function to preselect several auto-spins. The autoplay function can be customized.

Wins in Rainbow Jackpots Megaways happen when 3 or more matching symbols land from left to right on adjacent reels, regardless of size, beginning from the furthest left column. And if you have the leprechaun’s luck by your side, you could win up to 20,000 times the bet!

A chain reaction causes symbols that form wins to disappear, making way for new ones to drop in so that they may form new wins.

Rainbow Jackpots Megaways Slot RTP & Volatility

As a jackpot slot, it’s not surprising that the RTP is below average at 92.70%. On the other hand, the game has a high variance accompanied by a moderate hit rate.

The Final Thoughts

I live by the mantra, “Go big or go home!” And it seems that’s the motivation behind Red Tiger Gaming’s creation of this online slot. It’s among the company’s games I’ve reviewed with the most features. From in-game modifiers, including free spins, to a progressive jackpot, you undoubtedly have what it takes to secure solid payouts.

Right off the bat, it makes sense as to why the maximum win is set at a lucrative 20,000 times. Again, it’s one of Red Tiger’s big shots since most of its slots are typically maxed out at 5,000x bet. 

However, Rainbow Jackpots Megaways isn’t all glittery. I’ll admit that it took me some time to get a knack for some of its features. Furthermore, considering the limited bets, its volatility is high and may not be ideal if you’re a low-risk player. Notwithstanding, it should be pretty intriguing if you’re a fan of the Irish theme!
