Yggdrasil Gaming released Rainbow Ryan on July 24, 2017. An Irish myth-inspired slot game, Rainbow Ryan is in line with other mythological slot game adaptations in Yggdrasil’s portfolio, including the Vikings trilogy, The Legend of the Golden Monkey (May 2016) and Legend of the White Snake Lady (July 2016). Rainbow Ryan’s rival games include Wild Leprechauns from PlayPearls, Microgaming’s Lucky Leprechauns, Blueprint Gaming-owned Wish Upon a Leprechaun, and Quickspin-owned Leprechaun Hill.

Rainbow Ryan is the fictitious name of the featured character; Ryan is a guitar-loving rockstar who is modeled on the leprechaun being, a red-haired dwarf fairy that is illustrated dressed in ornamented clothes–a green top hat, black shoes and trousers, white shirt, and a green jacket. Rainbow Ryan players match two, three, four, five, or six winning symbols.

Rainbow Ryan Game Characteristics
A non-pay line game, Rainbow Ryan’s volatility rating is 55 and has a 6X4 grid. Like Gem Rocks (February 2018), Rainbow Ryan has 4096 different ways, wherein players look for more than two symbols on side by side reels.

There are twelve symbols–four high-paying, four low-paying and two special ones. Under the “high symbols”, there are: a green top hat overflowing with golden coins; a pair of black boots with golden buckles; a black microphone; and a beer mug. The “low symbols” are: a green spades suit, a pink hearts suit, a golden diamonds suit, and a purple clubs suit. The two special symbols are: a golden substituting “Wild” and a blue-and-white “Free Spin”.

The starting page mentions free spins-triggering/big wins-bringing synced reels and the possibility of winning as much as 250,000 coins in a single round. Incidentally, synchronized reels means a rainbow-like uniform grid, and it triggers the big wins.

Rainbow Ryan’s coin value options are: : $0.002, $0.005, $0.01, $0.02, $0.03, $0.04, $0.05, $0.06, $0.07, $0.08, $0.09, $0.10, $0.20, $0.30, $0.40, $0.50, $0.60, $0.70, $0.80, $0.90, $1.00, $1.50, and $2.00. After being multiplied by 50 coins, the coin values yield these Rainbow Ryan cash bets: $0.10 (minimum bet), $0.25, $0.50, $1.00, $1.50, $2.00, $2.50, $3.00, $3.50, $4.00, $4.50, $5.00, $10.00, $15.00, $20.00, $25.00, $30.00, $35.00, $40.00, $45.00, $50.00, $75.00, and $100.00 (maximum bet).

These are the respective Rainbow Ryan’s payouts for matching two, three, four, five, or six high symbols. The green top hat with golden coins pays X30, X75, X150, X200, and X250. The pair of black boots offers X25, X50, X100, X150, and X200. The microphone has X20, X40, X80, X100, and X150. The beer mug offers X15, X30, X60, X90, and X100.

The Rainbow Ryan’s payouts for matching three, four, five, or five low symbols are: both the green spades suit and the pink hearts suit pay X12, X25, X50, and X70, while both the golden diamonds suit and the purple clubs suit pay X10, X20, X40, and X50.

Three, four, and five, and six “Free Spin” symbols offer seven free spins, ten free spins, 15 free spins, and 20 free spins, respectively. The non-progressive jackpot in Rainbow Ryan is $510,000.

The Rainbow Ryan software is good and the rock music sound effect is in accordance with the guitar picking. The 3D graphics are realistic, ranging from the sound system and lit stage to the way Ryan is cheerfully plucking his guitar.
