The Drops of Gold game takes you straight to the end of one of Lucky O’Leary’s many rainbows where pots of gold are literally dropping onto the reels. The end of any rainbow is hard to find, but this one can be found in amongst the woodland of the famed Stakersland countryside. Follow the bright lights and pots of gold and you will soon find your way. Unlike the previous release in the series which gave us a small number of main bonus games, here we have a long list of features which range from the pivotal Drops of Gold bonus game, the free spins feature, and the Big Bet feature with up to 200 paylines included. It is a game full of surprises and slot gaming entertainment and this has made Drops of Gold has become a firm favourite for many stakers across the park. Read on as we bring you all the details about this special game that sits perfectly at the end of a rainbow with its never-ending supply of pots of gold.
What could be more exciting than playing a slot game that connects to the end of a rainbow? It is unheard of in the online casino world and only Lucky O’Leary could dream of such an idea, and also have the talent to pull it off as well. Your eyes will always be on the ‘drop zone’ above the playing reels as this is where the pots of gold (and silver) are all collected. Spinning the Drops of Gold bonus symbol will bring all these pots into play and this is without a doubt the most exciting part of the game. But it does not stop there. Free spins, Big Bet options, and up to 200 paylines during the bonus games are also in store for those willing to spend some time on the game. Drops of Gold is full of bonus feature entertainment, but before we talk about that in more detail, let us clear up the technical talk and show you all the betting options.
The slot game plays out on a 5x4 grid layout and this holds up to 50 winning paylines which are all fixed in the game. Take note that 100 paylines are available in the Drops of Gold feature and 200 paylines are available during the Big Bet bonus game. The gameplay options can be found in the bottom right-hand corner of the game screen with the Spin button followed up by the Paytable, Auto Spin, and Big Bet buttons. Your bet total amounts range from €0.10 up to the typical top bet of €500 in the Rainbow Riches series, so again this game will appeal to all budgets and all stakers. Other than the bet amount that you can easily adjust with the ‘+’ and ’-‘ buttons, there is not a lot else to remember. In true Rainbow Riches style, the Drops of Gold slot game is super simple to play.
The number of different bonus games on offer here is what makes Drops of Gold such a loved game across Stakersland. It is a colourful experience and that definitely helps to attract the crowds, but when it comes to bonus game variety then it scores high in the series and is considered to be one of the best. You would expect something special with the ‘end of the rainbow’ design being used, and the game does not disappoint with its main Drops of Gold bonus round. The free spins are also back in action, and this will please many stakers who missed the feature in the previous release, Fortune Favours. Last but not least, the Big Bet feature makes another appearance and once again it brings something new to the series with the ability to push the number of paylines out to 200 in total.
First up on the Drops of Gold game is the Free Spins bonus and this is linked in with the Bonus symbol with its pots of gold and rainbow icon. Spin any three of the symbols on the reels during one spin and you will be rewarded with eight free spins. You get an extra four spins for every additional Bonus symbol on the reels thereafter and all the central base game multipliers are used throughout the feature.
Next up is the core bonus game called Drops of Gold and there are two ‘Drops of Gold’ symbols in play, one normal sized symbol and one double height. If you land one of these two symbols on the fifth reel then the feature will get activated and all the pots of gold or silver within the ‘drop zone’ above will fall down. All the pots are Wilds, the silver pots replace all symbols except the Bonus symbol, and the gold pots replace all symbols in the game. During the bonus feature, the silver pots come with extra power and these can turn into gold pots if they land on a Bonus symbol.
Lastly, we have the Big Bet game with its three options. The first option costs you 20 coins and gives you the Double Height ‘Drops of Gold’ symbol on the fifth reel. The second option costs you 30 coins and gives you the double height ‘Drops of Gold’ symbol and removes the 10, Jack, Queen, and King symbols. The third and final option costs 50 coins and gives you the double height ‘Drops of Gold’ symbol, it removes the 10, Jack, Queen, and King symbols, and then gives you 100 active paylines, as well as 200 active paylines if you trigger the Free Spins feature. You also get an enhanced paytable with bigger multipliers worth up to 1,000x your stake per line.
The basic set of symbols do not look that rewarding with the biggest multiplier worth 250x your stake per line, however, once you understand how the game works and all the enhanced symbols that become available throughout the game, you start to appreciate the winning potential a lot more. For example, that top multiplier of 250x is boosted up to 1,000x during the Big Bet bonus game and even the lower value symbols generate prizes worth up to 330x your stake per line. The other bonus symbols in the game give you access to the bigger prizes but there are no additional prizes for landing these, like you sometimes find with other Scatter symbols. The pots of gold and silver that fall from the rainbow and onto your reels act as Wilds and this is where the big money prizes can be found. It all depends on the number of pots waiting to drop with the top prize of €250,000 available to the luckiest of players.
By now you should be well aware that a) there is no dedicated winning strategy when playing the Rainbow Riches slot games and this also goes for any other slot game, and b) the Big Bet feature is often the key to the biggest prizes in the game, but only activate it if you can afford to play it. The three options in the Big Bet feature help to make the rules simple and so you only need to weigh up the cost of the feature which can be anywhere from €20-50 against your personal playing budget. Other than that, we suggest that you read up on the paytable to make sure you learn the fact that there are two pay tables available, and that you also understand how the Drops of Gold bonus round works.
Lucky O’Leary has given you direct access to the end of the rainbow, but some of you still want to try and cheat him? Well, even if you answered yes to that question then there is still no luck for you because the truth of the matter is this - you cannot cheat Lucky O’Leary here on the Drops of Gold game or any other game for that matter. You can search all you like for the secret codes, but you will not get anywhere. The best cheat we can give you is to not cheat yourself, and by this we mean that you should only ever play with the money that you can afford to lose. Stick to your Rainbow Riches budget and enjoy the game as Lucky O’Leary designed it, and that is how you can get the best experiences here at Stakersland. If you drop some pots of gold along the way, then congratulations and enjoy the winnings and let’s hope that lucky streak continues!
