River of riches

In case you had any doubts about which river is involved, the Egyptian images instantly show you that this is the Nile. This is an atmospheric and visually impressive 5 reel slot from Rabcat. Compared to many other Rabcat titles, this is a simple game. There is a single free spins bonus round (which includes sticky wilds on the reels) and that is your lot. Compared to the progressive elements and multiple bonus games found on other slots by this premium Austrian slot maker – this one is low intensity. That said, it is worth checking out for the dark brooding feel and silky-smooth game play.
Rabcat continue their run of visually impressive slots. The setting for River of Riches is the inside of a tomb of an ancient Egyptian King. There are broken stones underneath the reels which have the controls, and you can see hieroglyphics on the wall behind. There are small pillars either side of the reels which spurt flames when you hit a win.
Symbols are very detailed - the Pharaohs mask, ankh and sunset over the pyramids - are all stunningly produced. The Scarab beetle stands out with amazing light-work. Many of the symbols are playing cards, which are not particularly Egyptian looking. My guess is that having these as hieroglyphics would have made the slot a little too visually intense. There is a satisfying crunch and thud combination as the stone-like reels spin, followed by a short tune for wins. One minor gripe is that some of the ‘dringgg’ win-sounds go on repeat between spins, which makes it difficult to pause this slot and come back later.
