Your favourite Leprechaun is back! Only this time he’s come knocking at his friend’s doors asking for some wild wins in this Rainbow Riches Home Sweet Home slot.
Turns out, Barcrest can’t let a good thing rest, much like Bally bringing out more Monopoly slots than we know what to with, so do Barcrest with their Rainbow Riches games.
And much like the rest, this is a Big Bet Game; meaning you need to bet big to enjoy it. And we’re not even saying that theoretically, we mean that literally.
If you bet less than 2.00 in cash per spin, the RTP of this slot machine is a low 94%. Bet over 2.00 in cash, and it increases to a decent 96%. But use the big bet option, where you are betting 4.00, 6.00 or 10.00 in cash and this Home Sweet Home Rainbow Riches slot gets an incredible 97.75% RTP.
The whole idea behind this casino game is a good one. In fact, it’s a whole load of fun and brilliant.
If the Leprechaun shows up fully covering reel 1, one or more of the four doors above the reels will open. These will reveal which of the symbols on the reels will turn wild and (potentially) pay big.
This doesn’t happen all that often in the base game. However, when you use the big bet it almost always happens at least once in your 5 high paying spins.
That’s because the Leprechaun needs to be only partially in view in order to nudge into place to cover the reel and start that “knock knock bonus”.
And that’s not a bad thing to be honest. We had lots of fun watching those little doors open and getting a screen full of wilds – especially if you can afford to bet 10 a spin and you have no low paying symbols and two doors open always.
Of course, the free spins are also good fun, but we wouldn’t go chasing them, namely because they are hard to catch and those big bets can quickly dry the wallet.
During the Home Sweet Home Rainbow Riches slot bonus games you basically always have one or more doors open, giving you a whole load of extra wilds on each spin.
But this only really happens on those big bets. Much like Rainbow Riches Drops of Gold slot or Rainbow Riches Fortune Favours game, this is not worth playing unless you are willing to bet big and get those extra features

Wild: The rainbow symbol is wild and can be used to replace any other symbol on the reels to create a win.
Knock Knock Bonus: When a large leprechaun symbol lands to fully cover reel 1, one to four doors will open up above the reels and reveal one of two options:
Scatters and Free Spins: 3 leprechaun scatter symbols in view on reels 1, 3 and 4 will trigger 8 free spins.
Because one of those Leprechauns is the one from reel 1 and the Knock Knock bonus, you will have 1 to 4 doors ALWAYS open during the free spins, turning 1 to 4 symbols wild, or (even better) if you got the fairy, turning 5 symbols wild at all times.
Big Bet Advantage: These are 5 linked bets that you pay one big price for, giving you extra advantages.
These big bet slot games always tend to lose a point or two for us, especially if you can't have fun when playing without the extra features.
Everyone should be able to gamble on their favourite machine without feeling the pressure of betting more than they can afford, you know? If you can't afford it, we'd recommend you stick with the original Rainbow Riches slot or even the brilliant Rainbow Riches Free Spin game which we kinda prefer (controversial we know).
That said, we wouldn't be fair on this Rainbow Riches Home Sweet Home slot on mobile if we didn't mention how much fun it was once you can afford the big bet.
We love watching out for that big Leprechaun and seeing all the extra wilds drop on our screen - not to mention catching the occasional cheeky free spins.
It's not a perfect real money slot, and the more you bet the more you'll enjoy it, but that's the way it goes with Barcrest slots a lot of the time.
