Gameplay Mechanics

576 Ways to Win

Wild Wild Riches Returns features 576 ways to win. This means wins are awarded for left-to-right adjacent symbol combinations. Symbols don't need to be on a specific payline - they just need to be adjacent from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

Example: If you have matching symbols on reel 1 (top row), reel 2 (middle row), and reel 3 (bottom row), this creates a valid win as long as the symbols are adjacent from left to right.

WILD Symbols

WILD symbol

WILD symbols substitute for all symbols except BONUS and MONEY symbols. They can appear only on reels 1 and 5. WILD symbols can randomly carry a multiplier of 1x or 2x, which applies to:

  • All ways wins achieved with that WILD symbol
  • All MONEY symbol collections done by that WILD

When multiple WILD symbols are present, their multipliers are summed together.

MONEY Symbols and Collection

MONEY symbol

MONEY symbols can appear with random values from 1x to 10,000x your bet. When MONEY symbols appear on the screen and WILD symbols are present on reels 1 or 5, their values are collected, multiplied by the sum of all WILD multipliers, and paid. This is the MONEY COLLECT feature.

MONEY Symbol Values: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, Mini (10x), Minor (25x), Major (50x), Mega (100x), Grand (1,000x total bet), Emerald (10,000x total bet - only on reel 5).
