Deciding whether an Irish-themed slot fits your taste starts with its layout. Wild Wild Riches Megaways runs on six reels, and each reel shows between two and seven symbols, so the ways to win vary from spin to spin. The symbols include Beer Mug, Golden Horseshoe, Four-Leaf Clover, Harp, Mushrooms, Pipe, plus A, K, Q and J. A win needs at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the left.
Choosing this slot means weighing its bonus layers. WILDs on reels 1 and 2 can start Money Collect, which gathers MONEY values on reels 3 to 6. Free Spins need WILDs on reels 1 and 2 plus a BONUS on reel 3. After the trigger, a wheel lets you collect or gamble for more spins, and a lost gamble forfeits all free spins.

Winshark Casino shows each screen with its rule, so you see what a result means.
Wild Wild Riches Megaways
Winshark Casino explains each step before you place a bet, so you know what happens next.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$100 before the first spin. The bet sets every win and every collect value, because direct awards and jackpots are multiples of it.
Start at the first reel and look for matching symbols that continue onto adjacent reels. The grid offers up to 117,649 ways, so one symbol can pay in many combinations.
Watch reels 1 and 2 for Wild symbols that line up into a payway. When that payway reaches Money symbols on reels 3 to 6, Money Collect pays their sum.
Decide at the wheel after Wild on reels 1 and 2 and BONUS on reel 3. Collect the spins shown, or gamble for more; a lost gamble forfeits every free spin.
Set your limit before the first spin, because retriggers add 6 spins with no cap. Stop at the point you chose, even during a bonus round.
Extra spins to play
At Winshark Casino we explain each bonus step before you reach it.
You land Money Collect when WILD on reels 1 and 2 forms a left-to-right payway that reaches MONEY symbols on reels 3-6. The WILD then collects those MONEY values: 1x-20x the bet, jackpots MINI 25x, MINOR 50x, MEGA 100x or MAXI 250x, or 2x, 3x or 5x collect multiplier.
Base game spinCollected MONEY values
You choose, after a Free Spins trigger, whether to collect the awarded spin count (6/7/8/10/12/15/18/20, selected randomly) or gamble to advance a tier. Losing the gamble forfeits all free spins. Each step has a win probability of 85.71%-89.99%, and the gamble goes up to 20 spins.
Free Spins triggerChosen spin count
You reach Free Spins when WILD on reels 1+2 and BONUS on reel 3 land. Random 6/7/8/10/12/15/18/20 spins are awarded on special reel strips with more WILDs and MONEY symbols, with Money Collect active. A retrigger adds 6 spins, with no limit, and the background shifts to warm rose-pink.
Base Game triggerSpecial reel strips
You start a spin on the 6-reel Megaways grid, which shows 2-7 symbols per reel for up to 117649 ways. All symbols pay left to right on adjacent reels, and Money Collect stays active, so WILD on reels 1+2 collects all MONEY symbol values on reels 3-6.

The bonus buy costs 100 times the bet, so at a bet of A$10 the price is A$1,000.

Choosing a mode
Useful before your first stake, while you still want to learn how a round runs.
Start in the demo to learn the rules, since it needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account and the legal age of 18.
Play for realDeciding how long to keep spinning is yours to make, yet how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. Each session is random, and its result stays uncertain whatever RTP the rules show. A quiet stretch does not signal a bonus is due. Plan around that uncertainty rather than around a pattern.
Choosing your RTP starts in the game rules, since the version running here is shown only there. Read that screen before your first stake, then compare the figures at the bet you plan to use. The table on this page shows the same numbers in money, so you can match them to your own budget.
Judging a big win starts with one fact: the maximum win is a ceiling, and it is reached very rarely. No session can be planned around hitting it. Keep your stake sized to what you can afford to lose, and read the top figure in the paytable as a limit on the game, not an expectation for your play.
Play only if you are 18+. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set the most you can afford to lose before the first spin, and keep that sum apart from your bills. Stop when it is spent.
Decide your stopping point before you spin, and keep it even after a big win. Write the stop point down before you start.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you play. Review them whenever you raise your bet.
Take a break as soon as the game stops being fun, and self-exclude through BetStop if breaks do not help. Do not chase losses with another spin.
Other Slots
Here you see which other games suit your play, and how they differ from this one.
Play with clear facts
Most players worry about what a spin can return before they bet real money.
Read the rules before you stake anything. The paytable below shows what each symbol pays at the example bet of A$0.40, and the Money Collect and Free Spins rules explain how a round runs. The lowest bet is A$0.20.
Decide with the RTP in mind: this version has an RTP of 96.02 percent, measured on A$100 staked. The other two versions of the series return 96.50 percent and 96.77 percent.
Only choose the buy if A$1,000 fits your budget at the example top bet of A$10. Buy Free Spins costs 100 times the bet, so at A$10 the price is A$1,000.
Plan around the ceiling: the maximum win is x10,000 the bet. At the example top bet of A$10 that is A$100,000, and at the maximum bet of A$100 a win can reach A$1,000,000.
Size your bets for stretches with few wins, because the volatility is high. Wins can come rarely and unevenly, and no one can know in advance how a session will end.
