Avalanche Mechanics
The symbols fall on the grid from top to the bottom. The winning symbols disappear and new ones drop on the reels. Technically, the avalanche mechanics gives you the chance to score an unlimited number of wins in one spin. The avalanche feature ends when the symbols on the reels do not form a winning combination.
Free Falls Feature
You need to land at least three scatters to get 10 free spins. Any extra scatter you land grants you 5 additional free spins. On the left side of your screen, you will see the winning symbols collected as jewels. These jewels come in handy during the lucky pond bonus game.
Lucky Pond Game
The Lucky Pond Game is activated right after the free spins round. All jewels you see on the left fall into the Koi pond and the fish eat the jewels. If a fish eats three jewels, the jackpot bonus game is triggered.
Jackpot Bonus Game
When the feature is triggered you receive 50 jewels. There are 6 fish in the pond – one coin fish and 5 jackpot fish. When a fish eats three jewels you win one of the following prizes:
Golden fish – you win 20 or 40 coins
Light blue fish – you win Rapid jackpot worth £100
Blue fish – you win Mini jackpot worth £500
Green fish – you win progressive Midi jackpot worth at least £500
Purple fish – you win progressive Major jackpot worth at least £1000
Red fish – you win progressive Mega jackpot worth at least £4,500
Bottom Line
NetEnt hasn’t integrated any unique features, but the available ones can keep you entertained for quite some time and help you land some decent wins along the way. Well, your notion of a decent payout might not match ours, so to cut a long story short, the Imperial Riches will appeal to players who shy away from taking huge risks with high volatility slots.
Imperial Riches release date is September 4. Stay tuned. We will update this review once the slot goes live across all NetEnt casinos.
