Happy Riches

Go on an Asian reel adventure on the slot from NetEnt. Happy Riches will see you spin lucky symbols on a 5×3 game window with lucky wild dragons, jade charms and Maneki-neko cats that can appear as double symbols at any time. Trigger the bonus feature with up to 30 free spins and you could score wins of up to 6,000 times your bet.

Slot Details

Happy Riches is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 30 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. Your journey to the Far East on desktop or mobile starts at 0.30 credits and peaks at 75 credits per spin. The game has medium to high volatility with an RTP of 96.32%.

The game is the converted HTML5 version of the 2013 Flowers slot that was released in Flash format and thus the designers have hardly changed the visuals other than adapting them for the Asian market. The wooden frame has been substituted with a typical Asian temple entrance while the pay symbols turned from flowers to a range of lucky icons. Fittingly, the soundtrack combines an Asian tune with the usual reel noises.

The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from J through to A, awarding 3.33x to 6×66 for a single five of a kind. The premiums can appear as double symbols and thus can lead to 10OAK wins. They are in ascending order of value oranges, green jade charms, Asian lampoons, Koi fish and Maneki-Neko cats. A five of a kind will yield 2.66x to 5.33x your stake while hitting 10 on a line will pay 40x to 66.66x your bet. A Chinese dragon is the wild symbol, performing the usual substitution duties while an icon with a gold ingot and marked with ‘Free Spins’ acts as the scatter, which can also appear as double symbols.

Happy Riches Slot Features

The slot is the next release in NetEnt’s push to cater to our Asian gaming friends. So far they converted about a dozen of their existing games by giving them new graphics that are supposed to appeal to the target audience. There are no changes though to the gameplay, hence, if you ever tried their Flowers slot then you will most likely know what to expect.

Core to the action and scoring sizeable wins are the double symbols. A win will be awarded when you have minimum three symbols on a line, this can be a double symbol on reel one and a single symbol on reel two. Premiums can thus form 10 of a kind wins while you could trigger the only feature with up to 10 scatters.

Hitting four or more scatters, which can be two double scatters will trigger 10 to 30 Free Spins with all wins multiplied by x3. Plus, a coin win of 2x to 10x your total bet will be awarded for four to eight or more scatters. Additional free spins can be retriggered with the same number of scatters. During the feature, wild dragon symbols can appear as single symbols or stacked 2 and 3 symbols high.

Final Verdict

Well, NetEnt’s push into the largely untapped Asian markets is continuing with the number of existing games being redesigned with fitting graphics now reaching the full dozen. More seem to be on their way as the developer shows no sign of slowing down. With Flowers, they chose for Happy Riches a rather popular title that has not only high volatility but also mega win potential, both criteria appealing to our eager Asian gaming friends. What is worth noting is that they kept the old UI they used for their Flash games for the Asian version which comes in HTML5 format.
