Quick verdict: Rainbow Riches Pick 'n' Mix takes Barcrest's most famous slot brand and turns its back catalogue of bonus rounds into a menu — pick up to three of five classic Rainbow Riches features before you spin, and the game weights your reels to trigger them more often. With a confirmed 94% RTP, medium volatility, and a 2,000x stake max win on Amazon Slots, it's a low-friction way to get more of whichever Rainbow Riches bonus you actually enjoy, without switching games.
The Story
Rainbow Riches has been Barcrest's flagship UK slot brand since 2005, spawning dozens of spin-off titles built around the same Irish, pot-of-gold setting. Pick 'n' Mix doesn't add a new theme or storyline — instead it's built as a tribute to the series itself, gathering five of the brand's best-known bonus mechanics (Road to Riches, Pots of Gold, Free Spins, Cash Crop and Magic Toadstool) into a single game and handing the player a menu to choose from before every spin.
Theme, Gameplay & Symbols
The game runs on a standard 5-reel, 3-row grid with 20 fixed paylines, set against the same rolling green hills, wishing wells and rainbow-streaked skies as every other Rainbow Riches entry. Low-value symbols are the usual playing-card royals; higher-value symbols draw on the series' regulars — leprechauns, pots of gold, wishing wells and rainbows — building toward the game's top line payouts.
What sets Pick 'n' Mix apart isn't the base game, which plays exactly like classic Rainbow Riches, but the layer sitting on top of it: before each spin, a selection screen lets you choose up to three of the five available bonus rounds. Selecting fewer bonuses — or just one — increases how often that specific bonus is weighted to trigger, so a player who only wants Free Spins can lock in on that alone, while a player who wants variety can spread their odds across two or three rounds.
Presentation & Sound
Barcrest has kept the presentation deliberately familiar rather than reinventing it — the art style, leprechaun animations and jaunty Irish-folk soundtrack are all lifted straight from the wider Rainbow Riches family, so returning fans will recognise the sound and feel immediately. The main addition is the bonus-select screen itself, a clean, icon-based menu that makes the "pick your bonus" hook easy to understand at a glance without any onboarding needed.
How to Play Rainbow Riches Pick 'n' Mix
- Set your stake using the bet controls — Amazon Slots lists a bet range starting from 1p per spin up to the site's maximum.
- Before spinning, open the bonus selection screen and choose up to three of the five available bonus rounds: Road to Riches, Pots of Gold, Free Spins, Cash Crop or Magic Toadstool.
- Selecting fewer bonuses increases the trigger frequency for the ones you've picked — choose just one to weight the reels most heavily toward it.
- Spin the reels as normal. Landing the relevant scatter or trigger symbols launches whichever of your selected bonus rounds hits.
- Use "Reset Bonus" at any time to change your selection before your next spin.
- Try the free demo on this page first if you want to see how the selection screen and each bonus round plays before wagering real money.
Features & Mechanics
All five bonus rounds are drawn from earlier Rainbow Riches titles, reworked to sit inside Pick 'n' Mix's selection system:
- Road to Riches — a board-game-style feature where you spin a wheel to move a set number of steps along a path lined with multiplier values, collecting whichever multiplier you land on.
- Pots of Gold — pick from a set of spinning gold, silver and bronze pots, each concealing a stake multiplier.
- Free Spins — triggered by landing scatter symbols, awarding between 10 and 30 free spins depending on how many scatters land, with extra scatters during the round adding further spins.
- Cash Crop — 50 coins spin across the screen and land showing either a blank or a multiplier value, with all revealed multipliers added to the win.
- Magic Toadstool — a pick-and-click round where you choose three toadstools from a field of 24, each hiding either a fairy symbol or a multiplier.
Volatility & Win Potential
Amazon Slots lists Rainbow Riches Pick 'n' Mix at a confirmed 94% RTP, medium volatility, and a maximum win of 2,000x stake. That puts it in line with the wider Rainbow Riches series rather than at the high-volatility, high-ceiling end of the market — this is a game built for frequent, moderate bonus hits rather than rare, enormous ones, which fits its whole "pick the bonus you enjoy most" premise. Bet range on Amazon Slots runs from 1p per spin upward; always check the in-game paytable on your chosen site for the exact live configuration, since Light & Wonder has published more than one RTP/max-win configuration for this title across different operators.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Genuine player choice — pick the one Rainbow Riches bonus you like most and weight the odds toward it.
- Pro: Five well-established bonus mechanics in one game, ideal for players who've enjoyed other entries in the series.
- Pro: Medium volatility and a familiar base game make it approachable for newer players.
- Con: The base game itself is unchanged from a decade of Rainbow Riches releases — nothing new if you want a fresh visual theme.
- Con: A 2,000x ceiling is comparatively modest next to modern Megaways or cluster-pay slots.
Final Verdict
Rainbow Riches Pick 'n' Mix is less a new slot than a smart repackaging of an entire franchise's bonus history, and it works well on those terms. If you've played enough Rainbow Riches games to have a favourite bonus round, this is the one entry in the series that lets you chase it directly rather than waiting on a fixed trigger table. It's not going to convert players looking for high-volatility, five-figure-multiplier thrills, but for fans of the series' steady, familiar bonus hits, it's an easy recommendation.
