The House Edge of Rainbow Ryan is 3.70%.
Rock out with Ryan the leprechaun.
The Rainbow Ryan game has 6 reels and does not use standard paylines. Instead any 3 or more matching symbols in any position on adjacent reels starting from the left side of the reels constitutes a win. This is equivalent to 4096 standard payline.
The ‘Wild’ symbol is Wild.
There are two bonus features when playing Rainbow Ryan. The first bonus feature is activated randomly and when this happens Ryan will start playing guitar and cause the stage lights to highlight a random number of reels. The highlighted reels will synchronise so that they show the same symbols when they stop.
The second bonus feature is activated when you receive three or more of the ‘Free Spins’ scatter symbol anywhere on the reels. When this happens you will be awarded either 7, 10, 15 or 20 free spins depending on the number of Free Spins symbols you received. During the free spin any reels that are synchronised by the stage lights will remain synchronised for the remainder of the free spins.
Conclusion
Rainbow Ryan is a visually attractive game. The bonus feature isn’t the most original we’ve seen – synchronised reels are offered by a lot of different games. The House Edge is somewhere around the middle of the range commonly being used for recent slots releases. Overall this isn’t the best game we’ve seen, but isn’t a bad choice.
