The demo runs on virtual credits—no deposits, no card details, no catches. You're testing the actual game mechanics without financial risk.

This is the identical version to real-money play. Same RNG system, same mathematics, same Free Spins feature with the 10/15/20 spins selection. Barcrest doesn't run separate demo builds—you're playing the 2017 release version that's active in casinos, just with practice credits instead of cash stakes.

No registration required. Launch it directly from this page. The demo resets your balance when it runs low, so you can test the Free Spins trigger (those Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5) as many times as you need. You'll see exactly how the stacked symbols work and which spin count suits your preference.

Use this to learn the timing between the £0.10 and £500 stake range before committing real money. The Free Spins feature has the same hit frequency here as it will when you play for actual stakes—no inflated bonuses, no artificial wins. What triggers in demo will trigger identically in paid play.

By 2017, Barcrest had churned out eight Rainbow Riches variants, each stacking more features than the last. Then came one called "Free Spins" that does exactly what the tin says - and nothing else. No Wishing Well, no Road to Riches, no Pots of Gold picking games. Just 10 paylines and the free spins round, stripped back like someone finally questioned whether more really meant better. For a franchise that built its UK reputation on multiple bonus rounds running simultaneously, it's borderline heretical. Whether this singular focus actually improves things or just feels half-finished - that's the question.

How To Play

Rainbow Riches Free Spins uses Barcrest's standard control layout, but there's one twist you'll need to know: when you trigger the bonus, you'll actually choose how many free spins you want. More on that in a moment.

Setting Your Stake

On the left side of the screen, you'll see two displays: STAKE (your total bet) and STAKE/LINE (bet per payline). All 10 paylines are fixed and always active, so you're adjusting the total stake. Use the red downward triangle to decrease and green upward triangle to increase your bet. The range runs from £0.10 to £500.00, with a default of £2.00.

Basic Spinning

The large green play arrow on the right starts a single spin. Your balance appears at the bottom left, and any wins display at the bottom right. When you win, the game highlights each winning payline in sequence before showing your total. Nothing unusual here—it's straightforward stuff.

Autoplay Setup

Click the circular refresh arrows button to open autoplay options. You'll select from 5, 25, 50, or 100 spins, then set optional safety limits:

Hit START to begin. The autoplay continues through regular spins and handles free spins automatically, but it'll stop when you hit your chosen limits or run out of spins.

Choosing Your Free Spins

Here's what makes this slot different: when you land three Free Spins symbols (on reels 1, 3, and 5), the game pauses and presents three options. You'll see different configurations showing 10, 15, or 20 free spins. Pick whichever you prefer—there's no wrong choice, it's your call—then confirm with the green checkmark at the bottom. The free spins then run automatically at your triggering bet level.

Gamble Feature

After any win, the gamble button (showing a playing card design) lights up in red on the right panel. Click it if you want to risk your win for a chance to double it. It's optional—ignore it if you'd rather collect your win and keep spinning.

Information Access

The blue "i" button (available both on the left panel and right side) opens detailed paytables and rules. The gear icon on the left accesses sound and display settings.

The interface keeps it simple: stake adjustment, spin, and optional features clearly separated. The only bit requiring your decision is that free spins selection screen—everything else runs on standard slot controls.

Special Symbols

Wild symbol - leprechaun character

Wild

Wild appears as a leprechaun character wearing a green hat. It substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus symbol and can land on any reel during the base game.

Bonus symbol - Free Spins badge

Bonus

Bonus is shown as a circular badge with 'FREE SPINS' text. This one's unusual – it only appears on reels 1, 3, and 5. Land three of them simultaneously and you'll trigger the free spins feature. During free spins, these Bonus symbols also act as Wilds.

Free Spins Feature

Free Spins selection screen

When three Bonus symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5, you're taken to a selection screen. Here's where it gets interesting: you don't just get a set number of spins. Instead, you choose from three configurations based on how the Bonus symbols stacked on reel 1 when they triggered.

10
free spins
first configuration
15

second configuration
20

third configuration

The number of spins depends on the specific arrangement of Bonus symbols that appeared when you triggered the feature.

During free spins, the game uses a different set of reels. Crucially, all Bonus symbols transform into Wilds for the duration of the feature, which means more substitution opportunities.

You can retrigger additional spins by landing three more Bonus symbols during the feature. The maximum you can accumulate is 999 free spins total – at that point, the feature ends regardless of whether you trigger again.

Free spins play at the same stake level as the spin that triggered them.
