Babylon Riches

As in Wild O’Clock by Red Tiger, you always know when a big spin is coming. In fact, every eighth spin can yield more thanks to Wilds, Multipliers and/or cash prizes. But you must first earn these during the previous spins.

It is a slot machine with average RTP of 96.13% and medium to high volatility. Are you curious about this somewhat separate game? You can read how Babylon Riches came out of the test in this slot machine review.

How do you play Babylon Riches?

In Babylon Riches you are presented with a standard online slot machine playfield. It has five reels, three rows and 20 fixed win lines from left to right. You can bet as little as $0.10 and as much as $6 per spin. By default, the game opens with a bet of $2 set.

In the hanging gardens of Babylon, a great fortune is hopefully waiting for you.

Since it is a slot with paylines, you try to place matching symbols on these lines. As you are used to, these should connect and start on the far left.

There are 11 symbols that you will encounter in Babylon Riches while spinning. You have 5 mythological beasts that yield up to 50 times your bet per full payline for the golden bull. The range is very wide, however, as the bronze snake, the animal with lowest payout, is then again only worth 4 times your bet at 5.

Then you have the 4 card symbols with an extremely limited win of 1.5 to 3 times the bet by filling a payline. In fact, at 3 pieces, you won no more than 0.1 or 0.2 times your bet.

Bonus features of Babylon Riches

Regardless of the often lower payouts, you can still win up to 7,250 times your bet. You don’t do this during a regular spin, but during the 8th spin or Free Spins. You can read how this works below.

Special Symbol

While spinning on Babylon Riches you may encounter a special symbol in addition to the animals and card symbols. This is a colorful sun with a special character in the middle. The moment you spin this, it is nothing more than a block in your play area. After this, however, it leaves a frame behind.

During every eighth spin, all frames are replaced by a Wild and/or Multiplier.

• Wild Symbol: The head of a Lamasus in the letter W replaces all paying symbols.
• Multiplier Wild: The Multiplier is x2, x3 or x8 and applies to any combination of which the Wild is a part.
• Multiplier: The underlying symbol receives a x4, x6 or x16 Multiplier. These are more difficult to collect, but can provide the nicest payouts.

The top of the playfield tracks where you are in the cycle of 8. This progression is tied to the specific bet.

What do we think of the Babylon Riches slot machine?

We are not very impressed with Babylon Riches. We don’t like the system that with every 8th spin you have a better chance of getting a high win. In fact, in Wild O’Clock it fits neatly into the theme because there are 12 hours before the clock runs out.

Moreover, you always feel like you have to get 8 times your bet during that eighth spin. Because the other spins usually yield far too little. Then when you get the Multipliers, you already know that the chances of winning something are slim. And also the Wilds provide an anticlimax when there are only card symbols to form combinations.

As music, NetEnt opted for the same tune you find in Egyptian slots. We would have preferred something more creative. However, the biggest plus is that the design is again handsome.
