Happy Riches Slot Review
The reskinning machine of NetEnt keeps working, creating with every time more slots for the Asian market that are redesigned old slots. This time, NetEnt made reskin the lively enough old slot Flowers (2013) from their list for reskinning. The elements and mechanics were preserved, but the aesthetics were stripped away. There is also a lot of Asian iconography in the opening sequence. Since there are an increasing number of these slots accessible, it might be a good formula that will give good results. An East Asian campanile serves as the background, while the border of the slot machine is decorated with vivid red and golden accents. The game field is surrounded by a pagoda-style building typical for Chinese and is a simple purple/blue colour. The background is formed of clouds, and the melody allocates the atmosphere of the scene.

Our Experience Playing Happy Riches
We did a standard 300-spin slot test with a bet of 0.9 EUR and a sum of 200 EUR. The first hundred spins gave us a max win of 5.5 times the bet. For the first 100 spins, we lost 35 EUR. The second hundred spins gave us a max win of 7.5 times the bet. For the second 100 spins, we lost 40 EUR. The last hundred spins gave us a max win of 6.5 times the bet. We managed to launch Free Spins and get 30 times the bet. For 300 spins we lost 60 EUR.
Happy Riches Slot Verdict
Happy Riches' features are quite useful when things go your way, despite its simple but not repulsive appearance. The potential could have been its main selling point, but the reality is more complicated than that. Mathematically, a complete screen of wilds on a free spin is worth around 15,000 times the stake right there. However, bear in mind that the game only ever delivered winnings that were at most 2,000 times the initial wager over simulations of millions of spins. It's advisable to base judgements on that realistic amount when determining whether Happy Riches is worthwhile to play. With that, Happy Riches somewhat loses whatever attraction it may have had before. Overall, the high hit rate and double symbols may appeal to those gamers who are obsessed with this genre. Otherwise, it's a basic, inexpensive, and cheery Asian copy that lacks much intrigue.
