Red Hot Riches Slot Information

We’re in an infinite blue and purple space with white star-looking spots traveling towards us. The 5 reels are in the middle of the screen, and to the left is the Upsizer Trail, where you can improve your starting possibilities in the Free Spins by collecting Upsizer Coins. To make wins, you need to land 3 or more symbols of the same type on adjacent reels, starting on the first reel to the left. The game is available on mobile phones and other digital devices.

The lower-paying symbols in the hunt for the big bucks are red letters of 10, J, Q, K, and A. They award between 0.67X and 0.93X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols are bell, stacks of gold coins, gold bars, gold bars with gold coins, and a golden $-sign. These 5 symbols will give you between 1.17X and 2.5X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The Wild Symbol substitutes all mentioned symbols and is the best-paying one on its own, awarding 5X the bet for a win containing 5 symbols. It doesn’t substitute the Scatter Symbol or the Upsizer Coin.

Red Hot Riches Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Red Hot Riches?

You can win up to 5,000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Red Hot Riches?

The features are Rolling Reels, Echo Roll, Wild Symbol, Upsizer Feature, Upsizer Max Coin, Upsizer Buy, Free Spins, and Upsizer Wheel.

Rolling Reels

Every time you make a win, the winning symbols travel to a pot of gold to the right of the reels, which is named Echo Roll. New Symbols are added to the empty spaces, and if you’re able to make a new win, the winning symbols will once again vanish and make room for new ones. These cascades continue as long as you keep on making wins.

Echo Roll

On any winning spin, the Echo Roll feature can trigger and put the same symbol type on all empty positions during the Rolling Reels, guaranteeing you to land another win.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is a golden W that substitutes all other regular-paying symbols in making winning combinations.

Upsizer Feature

Upsizer Coins appear randomly on any spin in the base game on top of the other symbols. Each Coin is collected on a meter, which helps you to climb the Upsizer Trail. There are 9 steps on the trail, improving the starting prerequisites for the Free Spins whenever they’re triggered. This is how many coins you need to advance on each level of the trail:

Level 1 = 0

Level 2 = 10

Level 3 = 20

Level 4 = 20

Level 5 = 30

Level 6 = 30

Level 7 = 50

Level 8 = 75

Level 9 = 100

From the start, the trail stands on 6 Free Spins and a maximum win multiplier of 10X. The top position has 12 Free Spins and a maximum multiplier of 50X. That position also guarantees 2 Echo Rolls during the feature, and the previous 4 steps guarantee 1 Echo Roll.

The Upsizer Trail returns to its starting position after the Free Spins have been played.

Upsizer Max Coin

Every time you trigger the Free Spins by landing at least 3 Scatter Symbols, you’re awarded an Upsizer Max Coin. Collecting 5 coins will trigger the Free Spins at the maximum Upsizer level.

Upsizer Buy

Before starting a Free Spins round, you can advance on the Upsizer Trail by paying a calculated cost. You can’t buy any extra perks if you’re at the top of the trail.

Free Spins

Landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols triggers between 6 and 12 Free Spins, depending on where you’re on the Upsizer Trail. Every extra Scatter over 3 awards a cash prize of 10X the bet.

The Free Spins have a win multiplier that starts at 1X and increases by 1 for every cascade on the Rolling Reels. The multiplier doesn’t reset between spins, but it has a max value of 10X, 20X, or 50X, depending on what Upsizer level you’re at when you trigger the feature.

Each Scatter Symbol that lands in the feature awards an additional spin, and every Scatter over 3 awards 10X the bet.

Upsizer Wheel

When the Free Spins end, you get to spin the Upsizer Wheel, which will award between 10 and 150 Upsizer Coins.

Red Hot Riches Slot Conclusion

Red Hot Riches takes players on a journey through an endless cosmos in search of wealth and fortune. The game offers 3,125 ways to win on every spin, ensuring ample opportunities for players to strike it big. The game has a Rolling Reels mechanism, which is often referred to as cascades or tumbles in other games. It makes winning symbols vanish while making room for new ones, potentially leading to consecutive wins. During the feature, you can also randomly trigger the Echo Roll, guaranteeing an additional win by placing the same symbol type on all empty positions.

The Upsizer Trail adds an element of progression to the game, allowing players to collect Upsizer Coins and improve their starting conditions for the Free Spins feature. The system gives a sense of advancement, but the negative thing is that you need quite a lot of spins in the base game to reach higher positions on the trail.

Entering the Free Spins will give you a progressive win multiplier that is capped at 10X, 20X, or 50X, depending on what Upsizer level you’re at when triggering the feature. Taking home the game’s max win of 5,000X the bet isn’t easy, and it feels almost impossible on the lower levels. The game’s features are also practically identical to Anvil & Ore, and we could have wished for some more differences. Aquanauts is another game from the developer that shares some of Red Hot Riches's features but not all. Give it a try if you feel like going on an underwater adventure.

Red Hot Riches from Alchemy Gaming is a thrilling game in a universe full of exciting features.
