The demo runs on virtual credits—no card details, no deposit, nothing charged. You're testing the exact 2017 release that processes real-money spins, same Random Number Generator that the fair gaming certification covers. For more comprehensive demo play, check our dedicated demo section.

You don't need an account to launch it. The demo doesn't cap your play sessions or restrict features—all free spins triggers, bonus selections, and gamble options work identically. If you're checking whether the free spins mechanic suits you before committing stake, or just want to see how often those Bonus symbols actually land on reels 1, 3, and 5, the demo gives you the full picture.

Barcrest doesn't run separate "loose" demo versions. What you're spinning here is the same build that sits in their licensed library, same maths model. The balance resets when you refresh, but the game behaviour doesn't change between demo and cash mode.

By 2017, Barcrest's Rainbow Riches franchise had spawned so many variants that spotting a new one barely registered—until this arrived with a weirdly stripped-down pitch. Rainbow Riches Free Spins does exactly what the name threatens: ditches the original's Road to Riches wheel, its Wishing Well picks, its Pots of Gold multipliers, and builds an entire slot around just the free spins bonus. You'll trigger the feature, choose between 10, 15, or 20 spins with different bonus symbol arrangements, then watch it play out on a 5×3 grid that looks familiar but feels oddly hollow. It's minimalism in a franchise known for cramming features together, though whether that's refreshing focus or just cutting corners depends entirely on how much you value that one bonus round. The 95.17% RTP suggests Barcrest wasn't feeling generous with this experiment. If you're seeking better value, explore our bonuses section for casino promotions that might offset the lower return rate.

How To Play

Rainbow Riches Free Spins uses Barcrest's standard control layout, so if you've played other games from this provider, you'll find everything familiar. The key difference here is in how the free spins feature works – you'll actually choose your preferred option when you trigger it, which I'll explain in a moment. Understanding the mechanics properly is essential, especially if you're considering real money casinos for your gaming sessions.

Setting Your Stake

Before spinning, set your stake using the green upward triangle (increase) or red downward triangle (decrease) on the left control panel. Your stake ranges from £0.10 to £500.00, and you'll see two displays: total STAKE and STAKE/LINE. All 10 paylines are fixed and always active, so you're adjusting the overall bet, not individual lines. There's no line selection to worry about.

Basic Gameplay

Hit the large green play button on the right to spin. Your balance updates after each spin completes, and any wins appear in the Total Win display at the bottom of the screen. Simple enough.

If you prefer continuous play, click the circular autoplay button (the refresh arrows icon). You'll get options for 5, 25, 50, or 100 automatic spins. What's useful here: you can set loss limits (£10, £50, £100, £200) and single win limits (£10, £20, £40, or never stop) before starting. Autoplay continues until you manually stop it, hit a limit, or trigger the free spins feature. For players concerned about gambling habits, our responsible gambling guide offers essential advice.

The Free Spins Selection

Here's what's non-obvious: when you land three Free Spins symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5, the game pauses and presents you with three options. You'll see different symbol configurations offering 10, 15, or 20 free spins. You must actively click one of these options, then confirm with the green checkmark button. The game won't proceed until you make this choice, so don't wait for it to auto-select. This choice mechanic is central to the game's appeal, and you can learn more about optimising your selections in our comprehensive free spins guide.

Optional Gamble Feature

After any winning spin, the Gamble button (playing card icon, bottom right) becomes active. This is entirely optional – you can collect your win and continue spinning, or click Gamble to attempt doubling your win. The button only lights up when you've actually won something.

The info button (blue 'i' icon) opens the full paytable and rules if you need reference during play.

Wild Symbol

Wild Symbol - Leprechaun

Wild

The Wild appears as a leprechaun character wearing a green hat. It substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus symbol, helping you complete winning combinations on any reel.

Free Spins Bonus

Free Spins Bonus Feature

Land three Bonus symbols—circular badges displaying 'FREE SPINS' text—on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously to trigger the feature.

Bonus Symbol - Free Spins Badge

When you activate it, you'll see a selection screen with three options. Each shows a different arrangement of Bonus symbols, representing 10, 15, or 20 free spins. Pick whichever you prefer.

Free Spins

During free spins, the game uses alternative reels. Bonus symbols can stack on reel 1, and here's the crucial bit: they also act as Wilds throughout the feature, substituting for other symbols while you play through your spins.

You can retrigger the feature by landing three more Bonus symbols during free spins, adding extra spins to your total.

The feature continues until you run out of spins or hit the maximum of 999 total free spins.

One Feature Only

+ Pros − Cons
  • Free spins choice (10/15/20) → you decide the risk/reward balance before feature starts
  • Bonus symbols act as wilds during feature → dual function increases win potential in free spins
  • Wide stake range (£0.10-£500) → accommodates penny play and high roller sessions
  • Fixed 10 paylines → zero complexity, no decisions except stake
  • Gamble feature included → double-or-nothing option after any win
  • 95.17% RTP → below UK market standard where 96%+ is expected
  • Single feature only → no bonus games, no variety, just free spins or base game
  • 15th Rainbow Riches variant → franchise fatigue was setting in by 2017
  • Maximum 20 free spins award → modest compared to competitors offering 50-100+ spins
  • Bonus only on reels 1, 3, 5 → restrictive trigger positions limit feature frequency
