9 Pots of Gold
Rainbow Riches
Rainbow Riches is Barcrest's long-running Irish classic; 9 Pots of Gold (2020) puts the pots themselves at the centre of the game.
01The numbers
| Parameter | 9 Pots of Gold | Rainbow Riches |
|---|---|---|
| Grid | 5×3 | 5×3 |
| Lines | 20 | 20 |
| Signature feature | Pots pay anywhere, 1×–2,000× | Three bonus games |
| Free spins | 10–30 at 2× or 3× | None in the original |
| Volatility | Medium | Medium |
| RTP | 96.24% | Around 95% (varies by version) |
02In the base game
Both games use 20 lines on a 5×3 grid. 9 Pots of Gold adds a second layer: every spin can pay pots wherever they land, so even a spin with no line win can return money.
03In the bonus
Rainbow Riches splits its bonus into three: a trail with a multiplier, a wishing-well pick and a pots-of-gold pick. 9 Pots of Gold has a single feature — the rainbow wheel and multiplied free games — and keeps the pots in the base game.
04Which one?
- Choose 9 Pots of Gold for scatter prizes on every spin and multiplied free games.
- Choose Rainbow Riches for variety in the bonus and a pub-classic feel.
