Rainbow Riches Live is the third live dealer entertainment game from Live Casino operator Authentic Gaming.
It’s a live roulette game with multipliers played in a Rainbow Riches-themed studio, with video screens and images from the popular Light & Wonder slot.
Multipliers are assigned to six numbers each game round, with the values coming from the symbols in the Rainbow Riches Slot.
There’s the option to bet on Straight-up numbers with the multiplier, Symbols with a separate paytable or both.
A separate randomly triggered Leprechaun Bonus will pay up to 5x on all wins.
The maximum payout on a straight-up number is 500x or, with a special bonus, 1000x. The max payout for the symbols is 1500x or, with the special bonus, 7500x.
This is another slightly confusing game that Authentic has launched – it’s effectively a reskin of 7s on Fire.
But don’t worry, I’ll explain how to play Rainbow Riches live in straightforward terms and look at strategies for playing. As usual, you can skip all the reading and watch my Video Review for the immersive experience.

Rainbow Riches Live Roulette has a few features you need to know. This list should get you up to speed if you’re already familiar with playing Live Roulette.
Rainbow Riches Live is two games in one. The main roulette game is where you win multipliers on straight-up numbers. There’s also a side game where you bet on slot symbols. You can play either game separately or both together. The result from one does not impact the other result. They are entirely separate.
Now, let me explain the sequence of the game, followed by a more detailed explanation of how each game plays.
The game follows this sequence:
The betting grid is divided into two sections. On the left, you’ll find the classic roulette-style grid, exclusively for straight-up bets. Other roulette bet types are not available here.
You’ll see the grid for the eight Slot Symbols on the right side of the interface.
You can place your chips on either or both sections.
There are betting buttons in the playing interface that allow you to place bets on All Straight-up Numbers, All Slot Symbols, or a selection of four numbers.
This is a very straightforward bet. You can bet on just the straight-up numbers – no other bets are permitted.
A win on a straight-up number pays 12:1 unless a multiplier is allocated to the number, in which case the multiplier is the payout.
As I mentioned above, it’s possible to use the “Bet All” feature to place a bet on all straight-up numbers – although I wouldn’t advise it. See my notes on betting strategies below.
Six numbers are selected each game round. Each is given a multiplier and associated Symbol. The choices are:
The symbols matter because of the multiplier value and because if three or more of the same symbols are chosen, a result and payout are generated on the Slot Symbol side of the game. This excludes the Coins, which create a payout if one is chosen. See below for details.
The Slot Symbol side game result is generated from the choice of multiplier numbers and symbols for the central roulette part of the game in Rainbow Riches Live.
There are eight symbols, and each one has a specific paytable. Most need at least 3 of the same symbol type to be present in the primary game number selection process to win.
The more occurrences of a symbol, the higher the payout – except for the Gold and Silver coins, which only need to appear for there to be a payout.
You can bet on as many of the Symbols as you like, and helpfully, in the playing interface, there is a “Bet All Symbols” button. You can see how the casino wants you to bet!
The Bonus Round occurs randomly after the main game has been completed.
The leprechaun appears dancing ontop of a ring of multipliers which spin below him
The multipliers rang e between 2x and 5x.
When the ring stops, the multiplier directly under the leprechaun is applied to all the player’s winnings.
It’s not known what triggers this bonus or how often it appears. You hope it occurs when you’ve had a big win!
Rainbow Riches Live pays out in two ways:
The two are independent so that you can play either or both.
As you’ll see from the paytable, Straight-up bets pay 12:1 unless the number is boosted with a multiplier. The maximum is 500x!
For the side game, the maximum multiplier possible is 1500x, but to get that, you’d need the same 5+ Symbols to be selected during the multiplier selection.
Of course, don’t forget the Special Random Bonus, which can boost all payouts by up to 5x!
This gives the game a possible payout of 10,000x if you get the 500x main number and a 1500x win on the symbols game.
The RTP for the main game is 98.00%, which is more than regular European Roulette – but you don’t get all the Inside and Outside bet combinations.
The RTP for the Symbols game ranges between 98.163% to 99%!
| Symbol | No of Symbols | Base Payout | Symbol Number Multiplier | RTP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ace / King / Queen / Jack | 3 Symbols | 8x | 50x | 98.163% |
| 4 Symbols | 22x | |||
| 5+ Symbols | 100x | |||
| 4 Leaf Clover | 3 Symbols | 12x | 100x | 98.418% |
| 4 Symbols | 50x | |||
| 5+ Symbols | 250x | |||
| HorseShoe / Mushroom | 3 Symbols | 40x | 200x | 98.336% |
| 4 Symbols | 280x | |||
| 5+ Symbols | 1500x | |||
| Gold Coin | 1 Symbol | 50x | 500x | 99.00% |
| Silver Coin | 1 Symbol | 4x | 500x | 99.00% |
| Roulette | Straight-up | 12:1 | 98.00% |
If you’re interested in past results, you can view up to 500.
You can see the past results and which one included a multiplier.
Unfortunately, the fascinating bits of information, like the Multiplier value and the Slot results, are omitted, so there’s no way to see the results.
It’s a shame, as Results trackers are an integral part of any game now. Players expect to see the history and previous results of all aspects of the game.
It’s unfortunate that, in this instance, Authentic has left this crucial data out.
Let’s look at the game’s maths before looking at playing and betting strategies.
Fortunately, the game is played in a repeatable manner, i.e. there are always thirty-seven Numbers on the roulette wheel, and there are always six multiplier numbers.
So, using clever maths, we can determine the probability for the result to contain a Multiplier and, on average, how often that will occur. From that, we can work out a strategy for playing.
If you want to use this to express this as the number of times you must try before picking a multiplier, you use a formula to work out the Expected Value or EV.
If you round that up, you get Seven. It will take seven times on average to pick the winning multiplier number.
Of course, you have the Roulette wheel responsible for determining the result, so for you to win, you both need to pick the same number. The probability of this occurring is the same.
Now that we know this, we can apply some sense and strategy to how we play and bet.
There are 37 Numbers; six will contain Multipliers, and the Payout for a straight-up number is 12:1. We know it will take seven games on average to win with a multiplier.
So, the way I’d bet is to place twelve bets on Straight-up numbers. You can place the bets covering a section of the wheel, a column, random 12 numbers, or one of the thirds.
Unfortunately, you’ll get no help from the playing interface, as all the betting functionality is absent, so you’ll have to work out the bet patterns yourself.
Limiting your bet to 12 numbers will ensure you don’t bet more than you can win on a straight-up number.
It helps manage your bankroll, ensuring you stay in the game longer and covers a third of the possible numbers. You’ll stand a good chance of getting a multiplier and winning with a bet like this.
You can guarantee a win and a multiplier by betting on all numbers, but I wouldn’t recommend that on a game where the highest Payout is 500x.
The first question to answer is whether to play the Symbols Slot game.
I’m of the option you shouldn’t, but there is a but.
If you want the chance to win at 1500x top Payout, it may be worth placing some tiny bets so that you’re in it to win it.
There are eight symbols, with the lowest payout being 8x. Some characters give a 40x payout for three identical symbols appearing. These are reserved for the Mushroom and Horseshoe symbols. They are also the ones that pay 1500x.
So, I advise making a small wager on horseshoes, mushrooms, and the coin position, which pays 4x to 50x. The RTP for the Coin is 99%!
It didn’t take Authentic Gaming long to repeat the formula of 7’s On Fire with Rainbow Riches Live.
However, Rainbow Riches isn’t a direct copy, as the way the side game and multipliers work are different. If anything, they have been simplified, which was my main criticism of the 7s On Fire game – it was just too complicated!
Rainbow Riches Live is two games in one. The roulette game is a modified version of roulette, with only Straight-up bets possible. The payout of 12-1 isn’t great, but it’s needed to fund the six multipliers.
The side Symbol game is RNG, and the results rely on the outcome of the Multiplier process for the main game. This is the only link. Otherwise, it stands alone, needing three like symbols to initiate a payout, except for the Coins, which only require one to appear.
The payouts are acceptable as they are, with the RTP suggesting you’ll get returns when you play them. However, that’s not been my experience.
Authentic hasn’t learned anything from the first game and has not resolved the issues with how bets can be made – there is still not the right sort of help in setting up betting patterns. The game results are also missing for the Side game, which again is disappointing.
This is a fun game and simple in its gameplay. If you like multipliers, a live dealer and RNG all in one game with a decent RTP, this might be worth playing.
There are many formats of Roulette games with Multipliers, so if you like Rainbow Riches Live, you may enjoy these:
Rainbow Riches Live is a modified multiplier roulette game with a side game paying multipliers. It uses the Rainbow Riches Slot theme and only allows bets on Straight-up numbers.
The top payout possible payout is 10000x, but to get that, you have to have won 500x on a straight-up number, got 1500x on the Symbol side game and then have the special bonus of 5x in play to make it 10,000x. The odds of that happening are astronomical!
You can play Rainbow Riches Live at any Authentic Live Casino. My current recommendation is PlayOjo.
It’s straightforward to play. You place bets on numbers between 0 and 36 and hope that when the roulette stops, the ball is in one of the numbered pockets where you’ve put a bet.
The RTP for the roulette round is 98.00%, while the symbol games RTP sits between 98.163 and 99%.
Most casinos with Authentic Live Dealer Games have the game.
