Imperial Riches Slot Review
In the online gambling sector, there are some slots with Japanese themes. None of them, however, compare to the NetEnt slot Imperial Riches in terms of tranquilly. The 5x3 reel pattern is nicely displayed over a serene fish pond as your reel-spinning journey gets underway in a peaceful Japanese garden. There are vibrant floating lotus blooms and leaves in the fish pond. Japanese-style pathways in vivid red and yellow are situated on each side of the reels that are blending into the background. The control panel is completely translucent with simple buttons and information about the bets displayed in orange, red, and white, while the reels are depicted in a beige tone. Along with soothing Japanese music, the reels also show a variety of red and gold lanterns, which will help you relax while you work to activate one of the game's additional features.

Imperial Riches Features
Avalanche Feature. Any symbols that the winning combination contains, except Scatter symbols, burn and vanish. This makes place for the next Avalanche of symbols, which will give you the possibility to receive the huger win. The Avalanches will keep going as long as there are wins.
Wild Symbol. The Wild can stand for any other symbol, but not for the Scatter. Wilds can only be shown on second to fourth reels in this game.
Free Spins. 3 Scatters on any place at the game field give you 10 Free Falls. Any more Scatters that are shown on any place on the game field in the main game only give you 5 more spins. The biggest amount of Scatters you can get is nine, which means you can get up to 40 Free Falls. During the feature, the player collects gems for the bonus game. In this feature, all symbols that are in the winning combinations are added up as crystals. In the bonus game, gems fall into the water, where the "Bonus Fish" or "Coin Fish" can eat them. In case the "Bonus Fish" swallow 3 jewels, you will move on to the Jackpot game.
Jackpot. In The Lucky Pond, the number of jewels a player has depends on the number of symbols on winning bet lines. In the Jackpot game, however, the number of jewels is always the same: 50. The player can receive one of five Jackpots in the special game. There are 3 jackpots that keep getting bigger (Major, Mega, and Midi) and 2 jackpots whose values stay the same (Mini and Rapid). For the Jackpot game, you need one "Coin Fish" and five "Jackpot Fishes," one for each Jackpot. If one of the Jackpot Fishes swallows three jewels, you win the Jackpot for that fish. During the Jackpot game, there is only one Jackpot that can be won.
Our Experience Playing Imperial Riches
We ran a standard 300 spins test with a bet of 0.9 EUR and 200 EUR. The first hundred spins gave us a maximum payout of 15.4 times the bet. We managed to land 3 cutters 4 times and 4 scatters 1 time. For Free Spins we got 11, 13, 31, 28 and 38 times the bet. For the first 100 spins, we got 83 EUR. The second hundred spins gave us the maximum payout of 9.4 times the bet. For the second 100 spins, we lost 44 EUR. The last hundred spins gave us a max payout of 12 times the bet. We managed to land 3 cutters 2 times. For Free Spins we got 13 and 28 times the bet. As a result of the test, we received 42 EUR.
Imperial Riches Slot Verdict
At least to us, Imperial Riches doesn't hold any attraction. We don't really connect with the Asian motif, and the game itself is just too sleepy for our tastes. The free spins feature, which is frequently prevalent in jackpot slots, is largely pointless, may be feel like a spending of your time on nothing, and is something NetEnt should have omitted completely. The 1500 times your stake maximum win possibility is far from enough to get your heart racing when you activate the bonus if you're an experienced gambler because the rewards in the Free Falls feature are exactly the same as in the main game. The 96.88% RTP is fairly high, which is a plus, and it may make Imperial Riches a handy slot for gambling. Having said that, the only genuine incentive we could come up with to play this game is because of its three progressive jackpots, even if there are other NetEnt jackpot games which you can try.
