Play Regal Riches for Free

The design of this game has an elegant air from the background in the base game which is a country theme, to the Free Spins feature which switches to reels opening on a drawing room scene. The musical accompaniment is the harpsichord and the symbols are all reminiscent of the era and include a Golden Goblet, Butterfly, Carriage, Hand Mirror, Coat of Arms, Grapes, Fountains, Necklace, Mandolin Player and, not least, an Elizabethan woman who could be the Queen herself but, if it is, she’s looking better than she ever did!

You can play this game at two speeds. There is the Fun style, which is a slow spin of the wheels combined with a button that allows you to stop them if you want, and the Turbo speed, which means they drop in on the reels at the speed of light. You can select which speed you want to play with by selecting the Auto Button on the bottom menu and clicking on the appropriate box.

There are also 2 progressive jackpots available in this game. A small one and a bigger and better variety. They can be seen accumulating throughout the gameplay and can be triggered at random to release their real money riches.

Elizabeth is the Wild in this game and, unlike most other online slots, she will substitute for every other symbol on the reels including the Scatter. She also comes in stacked on the centre reel in both the base game and the feature and this gives you plenty of ways to pull in those winning combinations.

The Scatter in the game is the Fountain symbol and this acts not only as a trigger for the free spins feature but also as a multiplier when it makes up winning combinations. The multiplier, occasionally, can go up to 50x so it’s certainly something worth having. You need 3 of the Scatters to trigger the feature, but remember that Elizabeth acting as a Wild substitute can also go toward help triggering the bonus.

The Free Spins feature opens on a similar set of reels but the background is an internal drawing room. From the base game you are automatically awarded between 8 and 25 free spins. Each spin of the reels accumulates a multiplier starting at 1x and increasing with every play.

If you hit on a winning combination then you will be awarded the multiplier for that particular spin. Not bad if you it on a winning combination when the multiplier gets into the teens and twenties! There is though, no retrigger feature in the free spins round so, when they are over you are automatically transferred back to the base game.

Considering what is on offer with Regal Riches including the randomly awarded progressive jackpots, then it would seem that RGT are on to a winner. However, although it’s got a standard medium range variance the RTP ranges from 91% through to 97% which is presumably the difference between base game and bonus feature play.

If you are looking for something a little more stable when it comes to returns, then Lucky Koi from Microgaming offers you the same reel layout and variance but you get a standard variance of 96.47%. You are also awarded a minimum of 10 free spins and multipliers ranging from 1 to 5x. You will though, lose out on the progressive jackpot and the stacked wilds.

Regal Riches online video slot allows you to play from as little as 0.25 coin credits per spin for all paylines, up to 125. The top end RTP is very good, there can be little doubt about that, but the bottom end, although not scraping the barrel, might put off a few online gamblers. It is though a very attractive game and the Wild also substituting even as a Scatter, helps to pull in those small real money wins pretty frequently.

You have also, of course, got the chance of winning big real money not only in the feature but also from the progressive jackpots. If you are willing to wait for the bonus feature to hit the better RTP, then Regal Riches is certainly a game most online gamblers will want to try.
