Rainbow Riches has been one of the most popular and successful lines of fruit machines in the UK for quite sometime. The game which features a leprechaun and a pot of gold has been so popular that it has spawned several spin offs.

The machine has been so popular that manufacturer Barcrest now several different games based upon it. These include: Rainbow Riches, Fields of Gold, Bonus Bingo, Hold Over Clover, Lotta Luck, Party, Pots of Gold, Reels of Gold, Wild Clover and Win Big Shindig.

It has been so successful that its maker claims it is the UK’s most popular slot game. The machine is usually described as a cross between a traditional UK three reel fruit machine and an American electronic or Las Vegas slot machine.

Like most modern American gaming devices it combines computer animation with such classic features as reels and a handle. That enables people to feel they are playing a traditional machine even though they are using a computerized device.

As with most electronic slots it is now networked with many other machines. This creates the huge payouts or progressive jack pots that players love. These big cash prizes are also available in the internet version.

Not surprisingly the owner has licensed several online games based on it and now an I-phone App. Persons who can’t find a bookies can now play it right on their phone. The Rainbow Riches Pots of Gold game is not available at the Ap store. Instead I-Phone users will have to download it directly from an internet casino or the players’ section of the Barcrest website.

Official online versions of the classic game and Win Big Shindig are now available from popular online casinos Sky Vegas and Virgin. They can also be found at and Kerching.

The payout on these online games is reportedly excellent. One online source claimed that the online version of the original Riches paid off at 95% while the online Shindig paid off at 96.46%.
