Are you ready to jump right into the Australian wilderness and conquer its wild beasts, making a huge amount of cash at the same time? Well, Roo Riches, a video slot by iSoftBet, provides an extraordinary adventure set in an Australian desert populated with kangaroos, crocodiles, dingoes and eagles. But more importantly, it is a feature-rich video slot offering plenty of different ways to cash in up to 2,000 coin jackpot.
Played in two different modes, the Roo Riches slot incorporates two different games. You can bet the regular way or test your luck in so called Lightning Bet Mode. The latter will cost you more, but also boost your chances to win some hefty payouts.
In regular mode, you will play on a standard 5x3 layout with regular symbols and 10 paylines. Unsurprisingly for an Aussie-themed game, kangaroo is the highest awarding symbol paying 2,000 coins for 5 of a kind. Besides the regular symbols, there is Scatter as well which awards from 7 to 15 Free Spins for 3 or more of a kind. Now, Free Spins are an interesting episode during which all the regular symbols will be removed and cash chip symbols with different values will replace them. Any of them that remains on the screen will be immediately cashed in. From time to time, you will be awarded with the Cash Chip Spin. This feature can be triggered randomly on any spin and give a boost to your balance in one shot. Here you can get a hint of how the Lightning Bet Mode looks like.
And if you are daring enough to test the real Lightning Mode, you will for sure add a lot of dynamism in your gameplay. Activate the Lightning Bet button and enter the Lightning Bet Mode where cash chip symbols take the role. Each chip that lands on the reels is immediately cashable, yet the stake will be higher too. While for the regular spin you pay 10 coins (1 coin for each payline), for Lightning Bet you will have to invest 200. The good thing is that the lowest coin value is just $0.01, so you can ride the lightning with only 2 bucks.
Now, whenever the chip shows up it activates the field it lands on. If you activate all 15 fields, you will trigger 3x Lightning Respins. Any further chips that appear on the reels will be stacked and the free spins counter will reset to 3x Lightning Respins. If you are lucky enough to make respins last, expect a lot of cash at the end of the ride.
Roo Riches is a good video slot in all its aspects. Visually not overly impressive, but quite decent, with an interesting theme and different modes, Roo Riches promises hours of entertainment whether you prefer larger screens or tiny handheld devices. Scatters, Free Spins and Lightning Bet Mode break the gameplay flow and add a necessary amount of dynamism. Roo Riches’ RTP is rather high, sitting at 97.66%, which is another reason why this game deserves your attention.
