Relic Riches

Relic Riches Review

The collection mechanic that is popular with players, many providers try to create their own games inspired by it. This slot mixes up the popular Egyptian theme with the free spins system.

Design-wise, Relic Riches offers good aesthetics, immersing you in the atmosphere of ancient Egypt with its detailed graphics and sounds. The game takes you to the heart of Giza, giving you a view of the desert and the Great Sphinx and pyramids drenched in sunlight. However, it is hardly creative.

The actions of the Relic Riches slot take place across a traditional 5x3 grid producing 10 ways to play on each spin, and players drop in by setting bets from £0.1 to £100. Powered by a medium-volatile math model, the game comes with a 97.85% RTP, which is above average, so you should get your returns. As for the size of those returns, the official max win value is unknown, but we’ll keep you posted.

As we head over to the paytable, we see 9 regular symbols that are split into highs and lows, as well as four different canopic jars, which have a similar function to fish symbols from other games. They act as regulars in the base game, but once the bonus game kicks in, they turn into cash symbols with random values.

Back to the normal symbols, they start at the lower end with classic A-10 card ranks, followed by maps, backpacks, treasure chests, and pharaohs, which make up the higher lot. The latter is the most valuable out of all, paying from 2-of-a-kind and more, while the rest needs at least 3 instances on a line. Five-of-a-kind low symbol wins are worth 10x the bet, and combinations of canope symbols pay 20x the bet. Meanwhile, five-symbol wins of the premiums are worth from 50x to 200x the bet.

Relic Riches Slot Features

Look out for pyramid symbols that can appear anywhere on the reels during the base game. They are Scatter symbols, and landing 3 or more simultaneously awards access to the free games:

• 3 Scatter symbols - award 10 Free Spins
• 4 Scatter symbols - award 15 Free Spins
• 5 Scatter symbols - award 25 Free Spins

As alluded to earlier, canope symbols obtain random cash values, while new Collector symbols come into play. Whenever a Collector lands in view along with one or more cash symbol, the displayed value is collected and paid to the player. Collector symbols also act as Wilds, substituting for any of the regular symbols, producing bigger winning opportunities. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to retrigger the bonus.

Review Summary

The Relic Riches slot offers the Egyptian wrapping, which is quite common though. All up, there’s certainly some entertainment to be found, but the game would hardly get you super excited.
