Rice & Riches Slot Review

About the Game

Rice & Riches. Hold and Win is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot from Mascot Gaming with 10 fixed paylines, where wins are paid on any active line, regardless of its position.

The game begins with the main game, where the total bet is set on each spin based on the selected amount.

During the game, the player can activate bonus spins or the Hold and Win bonus, and enter the Risk feature after any winning spin.

Scatter Symbol

Scatter symbol wins are awarded when 3 or more Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols triggers 10 free spins.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols during free spins awards 10 additional free spins. Free spins are triggered automatically using the bet they were triggered with. All payouts are determined according to the paytable. The total winnings from the bonus game include all winnings from the spin that triggered it.

Coin Symbol

The coin symbol does not award payline wins. When coin value symbols appear along with the Collect symbol, the total value of all coin symbols is added to the win. This applies both in the main game and during free spins. If the jackpot appears along with the Collect symbol, the corresponding jackpot prize is immediately added to the win. This applies both in the main game and during free spins. Six or more coin symbols trigger the Hold and Win bonus, which can be activated both in the main game and during free spins.

“Hold and Win” Bonus Game with Jackpots

When the bonus game begins, all coin symbols remain in place, and the player receives three re-spins. During the bonus game, only empty positions are spun. Each time at least one new coin symbol appears, all existing coin symbols remain locked, and the re-spin counter resets to three. The bonus game continues until the re-spins are exhausted or until all positions on the screen are filled with coin symbols. Coin symbols can appear in different types of the “Hold and Win” bonus game, including coin value symbols, collection symbols, and jackpot symbols. Coin value symbols award a fixed prize, which is added to the total win at the end of the bonus game. Collection symbols collect the values ​​of all coin value symbols currently on the screen. Jackpot symbols can award mini or grand jackpots, which are added to the total win at the end of the bonus game. If all positions on the screen are filled with coin symbols, the main jackpot is automatically awarded. The total win in the bonus game is calculated as the sum of all wins displayed on the screen. The total win in the bonus game includes all wins from the triggering spin.

Risk & Buy Feature

The Risk & Buy feature provides the player with several options to modify or enhance the gameplay depending on the option selected.

The player can purchase the Free Spins feature for 100x the bet, granting immediate access to free spins.
