Rainbow Riches

Rainbow Riches Gets A Full House

Regular players of this stunning game will know that the little leprechaun, the figurehood of the Rainbow Riches, is a busy little fella. His life now, rhough, is about to get even busier!

For Rainbow Riches is now entering the wolrd of bingo with a deriritive game that, not unsurprizingly, will be rolled out in bingo halls before the online world beckons.

It seems, on the face of it, a great idea - combining the thrill of getting a line, 2 lines or a full house in bingo with the great features associated with the classic game.

One advantage for bingo halls are the gaming licence implications - although the game looks like a traditional gaming machine it is not; but the Gaming Commission are always quick to find machines that try to bypass the gaming fees, in this continual game of cat and mouse between operator and regulator.

However, it is online where the real potential of the game comes alive - imagine playing bingo in the usual way, that is going for a line, full house etc. and winning an exciting figure rather than a normal fixed lump sum. Further, the game is fair - with a fixed RNG (Random Number Generator) determining the numbers, no other players with which to complete, and you win if you can get a full house within a certain number of calls - in a normal 90-ball game the jackpot would be obtained should you get a full house within 50 calls, and a prize of some kind if you call up in 80.

The cost of the game on the fixed sites will be set at 50p a board, and you will be able to play up to £2 a pop, which seems reasonable, but the games will fly by at a rate of knots, with every game finshed within 5 seconds. Online though, you would be able to play at 10p a card, that's 40p a game which is more palatable if you want a decent amount of gameplay, yet still with a reasonable chance of success.

Using the Rainbow RIches branding combined with bingo seems a match made in heaven, and we watch with interest when the new games get rolled out!
