subject: Rainbow Riches Formula Used Everywhere, Imitation is Flattery! [print this page] When Rainbow Riches first hit the streets back in the summer of '05, huge hopes were placed on the unique way the game uised features, unlike any other machine preceding it. Those hopes were realised, Rainbow Riches is now a huge success and the rest - as they say - is history!
In the naughties, and especailly online, there was growing recignition that online games simply had to raise their game to land-based machine quality levels. The underlying software used as game platforms needed to be used to their full potential, or upgraded.
The advent of Cleopatra showed what was possible - this Egyptain-based game, exoking an imaginative interpretation of life on the nile - bought into play a free spin bonus, much loved on land-based counterparts (mostly at casinos).
It shows what was possible on the platform, and the challenge was to see if R|ainbow Riches could be converted as successfully, without distorting the charm of the game.
And it is fair to say that the makers have succeeded, as Rainbow Riches is now the most popular slot online. The only concession had been a reduction in the Pathway to Riches gameplay, a necessary short cut thought because of a change in the ranndomisation of the gameplay.
Of course, this has inevitable spurred more competition, and new slots - especailly from JPM and Project Coin - now have triple feature feature machines as part of their portfolio,emulating the success of the makers of Rainbow RIches, Barcrest.
