Rich Pickings Slots

Rich-PickingsOffered as part of the IGT collection, with the original developer being NextGen, Rich Pickings appears to be themed around a super agent and his beautiful partner, Monique. Involving handguns, helicopters, fast cars and our daring secret agent in various situations, the game has an element of fun built into it, which is especially visible when the main character is present in the scene.

This game has 5 reels/25 lines, plus a mix of wild symbols, scatters, free games, x3 multipliers and random mystery prizes. The more regular payouts can offer up to $2,000.

Features of Rich Pickings

If you give this game a chance, in it you will discover a scatter symbol (Monique), a wild (the agent), free spins that multiply their prizes, plus a Mystery Bonus Cash Prize.

The image where our agent smokes a cigar is the one used for the wild feature. This symbol is responsible for the top jackpot combination forming up, which will bring you a 5,000x payout. It’s also the symbol which acts as the wild, the joker if you will, an element which can bring you a win where one wasn’t normally possible because one of the symbols was missing. You can’t use wilds as a replacement for scatter symbols, but they will work just fine with the regular ones.

Monique, the redhead companion of our secret agent, is the slot’s scatter symbol, which you can rely on for a cash prize, whenever at least two such icons land at the same time. The smallest prize, of 2x the bet value, is offered for two scatter symbols. The highest one, which is worth 100x the bet, is won when five such icons are present.

Free Games Feature

To win free spins as well, not just cash prizes, you need the Monique scatter to be in a minimum of three spots on the reels, which would bring you 15 games. 20 free games can be won with four such symbols, while five of them will trigger the maximum of 25 spins.

One advantage of these free spins is that they have a x3 multiplier, meaning that any wins you obtain during these rounds are worth three times as much. You can also retrigger free spins, for which you need another 3 or more scatter symbols to appear.

Mystery Bonus Cash Prize

Winning this randomly triggered cash prize requires no input from you, and it doesn’t take into consideration the symbols present when it activates. You just need to be lucky, as it is offered at random, at the end of spins you paid for (you don’t get it during free spins). The odds of you getting this cash prize are bigger when the wagers are bigger as well.

Betting options and jackpots

You have a line betting range which starts at $0.01 and reaches $0.40. It’s a very low wagering requirement, and the total for 25 lines would be only $10.

Should you win the big prize, which gives you 5,000 coins, the maximum value you can expect to get out of them in the base game is $2,000. Free spins can triple that value with their multiplier.

Design and symbols

Though the slot’s design doesn’t always manage to make its heroes look appealing, especially Monique, there is no doubt that it does just fine when it tries to make them funny. The game’s super spy theme shines through and you will find on the reels all kinds of objects used by our hero, along with images of him, his assistant and even a villain.
