Wings of Riches slot machine from NetEnt seems interesting at first, but quite frankly, the gameplay of this game is very meager. As well as the corresponding maximum payouts. There are, however, several extra features such as Wilds, Spreading Wilds, Free Spins and multipliers. And the graphics look great, but most slot players are looking for other things when they want to play a video slot. There also appears to be quite a few slots that (like Wings of Riches) have a fairy tale theme. The symbols used here are fairies, insects and plants. Does that make your gambler's heart race? Then you should read this review further anyway.

How does the Wings of Riches slot work?
Wings of Riches is set in a fairytale forest, populated by colorful fairies and beetles. The game has 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols and 20 fixed paylines. You can bet from C$ 0.20 per spin and that goes up to a maximum of C$400 per spin. The variance is undeniably low: the hit frequency is very high and that in turn means that the payouts must logically be very low.
You can win up to 400 x the stake per spin, and even that will almost never happen. A plus point of Wings of Riches is the high payout percentage of 96.63%. With such a Return to Player, this slot falls just short of our top 10 best paying online slots, but it is still impressive.
Bonus features at Wings of Riches
Wings of Riches contains a few extra features that can slightly improve your win rate and all have something to do with the theme. For example, the image on the wild symbol is a dandelion. These so-called Dandelion Wilds only appear on the three central reels and have a similar effect in the base game. When they land, they spread and turn 2 – 4 symbols nearby into wilds as well.
The free spins round
The purple dragonfly is a Spreading Wild and if 3 or more land during the base game, they trigger 10 free spins. The funny thing is that with 5 of these scatters, you also only get 10 free spins. However, you can get extra spins if at least 2 scatters fall during these free spins. You get 5 free spins with 2 scatters and 10 free spins with 3 scatters. During free spins, a multiplier symbol also comes into play. It appears on the 5th reel and looks like an ascending ladder of falling bulbs. Each time this multiplier lands, it increases the win multiplier by 1x, up to a maximum of 5x. The multiplier symbol is removed when the 5x multiplier is reached and all remaining spins then benefit from a 5x multiplier boost.
What do we think of Wings of Riches?
We understand that not every slot player is the same and that as a slot provider you can't please everyone. But even with that thought in mind, we can't help but conclude that this slot is just terribly bad. The gameplay is dull and monotonous, the bonus features are uninspired and fall way too often and it is also almost impossible to win big on this slot. A bad product from Netent, which can and must improve a lot if they do not want to lose the cut-throat competition between slot providers for good.
