Firstly the atmosphere is determined by the piano player, backed by a live jazz band, following all the movements on the reels. His style is so cool and laid-back, it’s impossible not to influence the gameplay positively.
Secondly, the slot has a nice set of features, like Scatters and Wilds- appearing quite often, a Roulette Bonus round and Free Spins. No chance to get bored. Yet another plus, during Free Spins, wins are tripled, and there’s a likelihood to trigger the Roulette round as well.
The card suits might seem ordinary and slightly outdated, but otherwise, there’s nothing much to hold against the slot design. With its Medium Volatility, an RTP of 96.51%, a max win of 64 000 coins in the main game and 190 000 coins in the Free Spins, it’s definitely worth a trip to the Riviera.

Personal testers’ opinion about Riviera Riches slot
- We visited the Riviera on reels and enjoyed our stay. Mainly because of the jazzy soundtrack, combined with the novelty feature – Roulette bonus, both making sure there’s never a dull moment at this aristocratic/artistic destination. The Bonus (stats for both features – together) is activated very frequently, approximately every 68th spin, and that’s a good figure. It identifies that there is no long waiting period to trigger any of the bonus rounds, which ultimately shows that you can regularly anticipate good wins.
- Paytable-wise, we would’ve liked better values from all the symbols: the Scatters here pay only 40x the total bet for 5OAK (not the usual 100x), the Wilds – Riviera logo – top symbol pay only 100x the total bet for 5OAK (not like other also veteran Microgaming 15 liners – for example Mermaid’s Millions slot – 7500x the line bet= 500x the total bet). Though the Wilds do double the wins they are participating in, the paytable still “smells cheap.”
- Via the usual spins alone, whatever advancement you make will be insufficient to book a balance increase. You need to get the Roulette bonus game or the Free Spins to mark a bankroll enlargement potentially. Our test group did not achieve any impressive results here – as the max win registered was 54x the total bet, so nothing near the 1267x as the developer promises as ultimate potential.
- However, we recommend this slot to players with real money, as the prospect of making a decent win is truly attainable. If you are restricted in a limited budget, you will appreciate the possibility of playing with 0.15 cents per spin. Moreover, if your bankroll allows it – you can play with medium bets (not higher than 7.50 CAD per spin) and use the “hit and run“ strategy. There’s a reasonable chance to succeed as well – 5 index points (out of 10) for completing the wagering requirements.
