Does naming a slot ‘Ultra Rich’ make it more attractive to players? I’m sure it does. However, I have seen way too many slots being released over the years with providers giving them a fancy title and per automatic you think it’s going to be a great game. Players get excited but as soon as you start to play, it takes less than a minute before you realize it’s all smoke and mirrors.
Can the Game Live Up to the Name?
Hyping up the dream of winning big in this way is of course a smart way to create a buzz around a game. It’s easy to use words like rich, millions, success, gold, diamonds etc in the title to make the game shine a little bit more. However, when it’s all said and done, it’s just lipstick on a pig, isn’t it? If the game sucks, it will suck no matter what you call it.
Will the latest release from Red Tiger prove me wrong? Let’s find out!
Welcome to Ultra Rich
My Name is Rich – Ultra Rich
Well, would you look at that? Piles of cash, a gold colored Rolls Royce, a James Bond wannabe, a blond bombshell and sparkling Wilds and Jackpot symbols. Red Tiger is definitely trying to sell the Ultra Rich lifestyle.
It’s clear that everything on the screen is there to dazzle you. The graphics are sharp but personally, it’s all way too cheesy for my taste.
Before I move on. If you pay close attention, you can spot the subtle outline of a Wheel of Fortune in the background. This is the main character in Ultra Rich so if you bear with me, I’m going to show you how to get there.
| Released: July 2024 | RTP: 95.75% | Variance: High |
| Min Bet: €0.10 | Max Bet: €10.00 | Max Payout: 20,835x |
Is it enough?
Enough With the Bling – Where’s the Fun?
As I expected, it didn’t take me long to figure out no matter how many luxury cars and cash they put on the screen, the game is pretty damn lame. Nothing happens in the base game which is unfortunate, or should I say disappointing.
It seems like the only purpose of spinning these shiny new reels is to get to the Wheel of Fortune. Don’t get me wrong, I get it, but it would be nice if there was something else to look out for that could contribute with some excitement.
Finally, there it is
Eureka – I Finally Found the Golden Ticket
Do you see that little Bonus symbol? This little guy is the only one who knows how to have a good time. It’s your golden ticket to the main, or should I say only, attraction in the Ultra Rich slot.
Time to play for the Wheel Bonus
Wheel Bonus – Here I Come
Not only is it hard enough to land one as it is. It can only appear on the middle reel, which obviously makes it even harder. Thanks, Red Tiger!
Let’s see what this bad boy can do
The Wheel Bonus needs no extra introduction because like all other Wheels of Fortune, all you have to do is click on ‘Spin.’
As you can see, the sectors are all self-explanatory as they all contain multipliers. The one who could use some explaining is perhaps the one with the recycling arrows on it (the purple sector to the right). If you land on it, it will give you a respin, right then and there.
More wheels will get you an upgrade
Wheel Upgrades for Bigger Prizes
Moving on to bigger and better things isn’t a bad thing and thanks to the Wheel Upgrades, you can do so in Ultra Rich as well. Above the Bonus symbol you’ll spot a progress bar. As you can see, each stage has 3 lights to be filled. Every time you trigger the Wheel Bonus game, you will light another lamp. When you’ve lit all 3 lights, you will unlock another Bonus Wheel with bigger prizes.
True to the bling naming skills, Red Tiger decided to name these new wheels:
- Super Wheel
- Mega Wheel
Bigger multipliers in play
Each new wheel is quite an improvement in terms of multipliers. Not only are they bigger, there are also a lot more sectors.
- The Base Wheel: 5x-15x Multipliers
- The Super Wheel: 10x-50x Multipliers
- The Mega Wheel: 30x-1,000x Multipliers
Let the good times roll
Ultra Rich – Pass or Play?
If I was a magpie, perhaps I would have been fooled by all this bling but as expected, the game doesn’t live up to its name. Not even the Mega Wheel you see above could save it.
I’m actually a big fan of Wheel of Fortune features and the multipliers in play here can be great if, and it’s a BIG IF, you can manage to make it all the way to the Mega Wheel. It took me ages to even trigger the first wheel once or twice but because of how boring the game is otherwise, there’s not enough patience in the world for me to sit around for that long.
Remember the comment about putting lipstick on a pig? Well, this is a pig if I’ve ever seen one. I found Ultra Rich to be a proper snooze fest and I have no choice but to advise you to stay far away from it.
