How to Play Imperial Riches
Imperial Riches is a tranquil Chinese garden themed slot, developed by NetEnt. It has 5 reels and 15 paylines, with bets starting from just 15p a spin. With soft avalanche reels, lanterns and lily pads to look at, NetEnt has done a great job with the visuals. What about the bonuses? Look forward to wilds, free falls, bonus games and a jackpot game! This is an oriental slot not to be missed.
Step into the garden of dreams and see if you can activate any of these fantastic bonuses. Spin with an intricately designed game and watch the gorgeous golden symbols as they come, go and hopefully stop on the reels!
You may be familiar with the crashing avalanche reels in Gonzo’s Quest or Asgardian Stones. In Imperial Riches, the avalanches fall in a much lighter manner, but they have the same brilliant effect. Whenever a win is made, the winning symbols will be removed, allowing more to fall into place. This means that there is an extra chance to maximise on wins if you have a lucky landing!
Set your Bet
All of the 15 paylines are in play with every spin, so there are maximum opportunities to try and land some winning matches. The minimum coin value is 1p per payline, which taking into account the 15 paylines, means that your minimum bet amount is 15p. You can choose from five different values up to a maximum coin bet of £3 a spin.
If you would like to step up your game a bit further, you could consider increasing the bet level. This adds extra coins to each payline and can be any value between 1 and 10. The bet level is then multiplied by the coin bet, meaning that the top cost per spin in Imperial Riches is £30.
Your total bet is displayed just below the red spin button, which you can click to start the game once you’re happy with the stake.
Oriental Wins
To win with Imperial Riches, as with most other NetEnt productions, you need to match three or more identical symbols on a payline from left to right. Five of a kind will pay the highest prizes.
The high-value symbols in play are, as you may expect, the golden ones.
We’ve got an actual golden fish, not a goldfish, as the highest paying symbol. Land the maximum of five of these across a payline and you could win 1500 times your coin value.
Next up, there is a symbol with two golden pots. We’re not sure what’s in the pots, but we are sure that five of a kind pays 1000 times your coin bet!
A trio of golden coins is the last of the gold high-value symbols, offering up to 500 times the line bet for matching five of them.
There is a plant which, if you land five of them on a winning line, can award 200 times the line bet.
Lower-value symbols are card values from Queen to Ace, awarding payouts between 50 and 100 times the coin value.
Imperial Bonuses
We’ve got a fantastic selection of special features in Imperial Riches.
Wilds
A golden gong is the Imperial Riches wild symbol.
It can appear on the three middle reels only, and substitutes for any of the standard symbols.
Free Falls
The scatter symbol in Imperial riches is a red and gold lantern.
Land three lanterns anywhere on the reels and you can activate 10 free falls. For every additional scatter you land beyond the three, you will be another 5 free falls. Wilds are active in this feature.
All winning symbols from your free falls feature are counted as jewels. Read on to find out what happens next.
Lucky Pond Bonus Game
If you collect any jewels in free falls, this bonus game will be activated.
The jewels you collected will fall down into the pond and can be eaten by the Bonus Fish, which is blue, or the Coin Fish, which is gold.
Jewels eaten by the Coin Fish award 5, 10 or 15 coins which are multiplied by the bet level.
If the Bonus Fish have eaten three jewels in this feature, you will then be progressed to the jackpot game!
Jackpot Game
We have five different jackpots up for grabs in Imperial Riches. In this game, you can either win coins or a jackpot.
There are three progressive jackpots which are the Midi, Major and Mega. We also have two fixed-value jackpots, the Rapid and Mini.
The Coin Fish is back again, but there are also 5 different coloured fish which are linked to one jackpot each. Check the game information if you would like to see which colour fish corresponds to which jackpot.
