Rainbow Riches Megaways by Barcrest, part of Light & Wonder, reworks the long running Irish themed slot into a Megaways format. The familiar leprechaun setting and rainbow trail return, now supported by a variable reel system that changes on every spin.
Available among the wide selection of slot games at BetVictor, this version builds on the structure of the original Rainbow Riches while introducing shifting reel heights and thousands of possible ways to win. The result is a recognisable theme paired with a more dynamic grid layout.
The design draws from Irish folklore, with rolling green hills, cottages and a rainbow framing the reels. The art style is bright and cartoon led, consistent with earlier Rainbow Riches releases and centred around the familiar leprechaun character.
High value symbols are colourful gemstones in red, purple, blue and green, while lower value icons use standard card ranks from 10 to Ace. Light Celtic inspired music and simple reel sound effects support the traditional presentation without shifting away from the established series identity.

Landing 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the feature round.
During the free spins round, the Rainbow Trail becomes active. Each spin can move the player one step forward along the trail. Certain positions unlock classic Rainbow Riches style bonuses such as multiplier awards or additional free spins. The trail progression continues throughout the feature until all awarded spins are completed.
Certain trail positions activate classic Rainbow Riches bonus segments, including Road to Riches, Wishing Well, and Win Spins.
These mini games are integrated into the Megaways version through the Rainbow Trail, preserving the structure of the original Rainbow Riches bonus ladder while operating within the variable reel format.
Rainbow Riches Megaways uses a six reel layout powered by the Megaways system. Each reel can display a variable number of symbols per spin, which alters the total number of ways to win. Winning combinations are formed by matching identical symbols from left to right across adjacent reels. Because the reel heights change constantly, the number of potential winning paths shifts with each spin. The bonus trail integrates directly into the main spin cycle rather than existing as a separate mode.
Rainbow Riches Megaways maintains the identity of a well established Barcrest slot while benefiting from Light & Wonder’s broader portfolio and distribution. The Irish theme and bonus trail remain central, but the Megaways mechanic introduces a changing reel configuration that adds structural variety.
The layout is clear and recognisable, making it suitable for players familiar with the Rainbow Riches series who want a more variable reel setup. Within the broader catalogue at the BetVictor Casino, this title functions as a modern extension of a classic format rather than a full redesign.
