Mr. Rich is a slot machine designed by Cryptologic, whose theme is based on the luxury topic that so many games have approached already. This isn’t even the first slot from this developer with such a theme, they have a few already. So, does this game do a better job than the rest at recreating the luxury theme? The answer is that it’s an average looking slot machine, but only because it’s dated and the design style and background image have better looking competitors out there. Other than that, you get a pretty good idea about the life of a rich guy, from the beautiful women, to jewelry, huge mansions and very fast boats and cars.
A game that seems to have a pretty long past behind it, Mr. Rich gets the standard 5 reels, together with only 9 paylines. The reward you can hope for is not really enough to make you as rich as the main character, with the maximum amount being worth about $20,000. Even the features are disappointing, providing you with either bonus games, wilds or scatters.
Features of Mr. Rich
Mr Rich is not as generous with its features as the main character seems to be with his money. You get the usual combo of wild and scatter symbols, plus a bonus round, but that’s about it.
Get Rich is the title of the logo that serves as a scatter in Mr. Rich. It doesn’t do anything other than award a prize, which depends on two things. First of all, the number of scattered symbols with Logos on them will determine what kind of multiplier will be applied. Second, the wager that you’ve used that round is the one that the multiplier is used on. If the $45 maximum bet was selected, and you have five scatter symbols, you can get from this game a prize worth 125x the wager, or $5,625.
Mr. Rich, which is a guy with a fedora hat, a cigar and jewelry on his hand, will be the other major feature that the game has in store for you. The wild symbol has the capability of substituting for the other symbols appearing in the game, scatter excluded, and if it’s in the correct position to put his powers into practice, new combinations will be formed. You’re not going to get paid when there are multiple wilds on a line, because there are only three reels that will accept these symbols, the ones starting from the 2nd and going up to the 4th.
Bonus Game
With at least three wild symbols present on the three reels where they are allowed, the game awards 2 bonus rounds, during which you can choose 4 safes, out of the 12 displayed. With each choice you make, you get a prize.
Betting options and jackpots
The presence of 9 paylines in a game from Cryptologic almost always means that you can use only 9 coins, whose values will go from $0.05 to $5, depending on your budget. If you can afford to invest the maximum $45 per spin, you can hope to get either the slot’s own prize or the progressive jackpot at its full value.
The slot offers a maximum of 4,000 coins from its best paying symbol (the blonde woman), with the value going up to $20,000. The second potential big prize would be the Rapid Fire Jackpot, but unfortunately you can’t trigger it in the game, and instead you have to hope that it will randomly be awarded to you.
Design and symbols
If you look at the individual symbols in Mr. Rich, you will find that they’re quite well made, with enough details to make them convincing reproductions of luxury items. I’m not a fan of the oil painting drawing style that is used for the human characters, but the objects look very good. The background image is also a disappointment, all black and with gold coins and stacks of cash spread around.
Symbols: Mr. Rich (wild), Get Rich Logo (scatter, 125x the triggering wager), Blonde Woman (4,000x), Mansion (1,000x), Fast Boat (500x), Sports Car (500x), Cellphone (250x), $100 bills (250x), Emerald Ring (150x), Fedora Hat (150x), Whiskey Decanter (100x) and Gold and Diamond Necklace (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
If you’re a fan of the luxury theme in slot machines, you will find Mr. Rich to be a decent game, though you will also notice quite a few competitors that have a better design, better payouts and more features.
This Mr. Rich slot is offered by all online casinos with Cryptologic software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
