Most of you have heard of the Chernobyl disaster that occurred in 1986. This was probably one of the main reasons why New Zealand is so against nuclear weapons. However, I am not sure that you are aware of the fact that, after the disaster, there were loads of scavengers looking for valuable artefacts in the Chernobyl restricted areas.
Well, this is something you will be doing in the Wasteland Riches pokie machine. You will try to collect valuables while risking your health and even your life. Remember that this wasteland is now inhabited by strange creatures.
As you may suppose, cockroaches have survived the catastrophe in the Wasteland Riches slot. As for humans, they are no longer here. Only mutants that were affected by the nuclear waste. If I were you, I wouldn’t trust those creatures.
If you decide to go on a treasure hunt, you should have a mask on. Beware of the remaining nuclear bombs because there are some that haven’t exploded yet. What is interesting about the mutants is that they have developed their own fizzy drink, called Mascol. It will remind you of Coca-Cola.
Among special symbols, you will find the nuclear Wild Multiplier that substitutes for all regular symbols and also boosts every win with a 2x multiplier. The Scatter is there to trigger free spins. During the feature, you will come across the Multiplier symbol that doubles the win.
You don’t have to be a nuclear scientist to learn the rules of the game. Wasteland Riches pokie is played on a 5×3 grid and benefits from 243 ways to win. The slot pays left to right and 3-of-a-kind is the minimum for landing payouts.
You can bet as low as $0.25 and as high as $50 per spin. Click on the bunny if you want to speed the reels up a bit. The Mascot Gaming title is of medium volatility and offers a 1,000x max payout. Wasteland Riches RTP is 94.85%.
You will be entertained during your stay in the nuclear wasteland. I was kidding that the cockroaches and mutants will attack you. They will help you land wins. If you include Wilds in your base game wins, the wins will be doubled.
Scatters will help you trigger up to 25 free spins at once. During the feature, you can also double your winnings by landing the X2 multiplier symbol on a winning spin. What is important to remember is that symbols pay anywhere during free spins.
When you land 3, 4, or 5 Scatters on the reels, you will trigger 10, 15, or 25 free spins, respectively. The Free Spins feature can be retriggered at any time simply by landing 3+ extra Scatters on the reels. During free spins, symbols pay anywhere. All you need to do is land at least 3 matching symbols anywhere on the reels to win a payout.
The X2 multiplier symbol appears only during free spins. If, on a winning spin, you have an X2 multiplier on the reels, the win from that spin will be doubled. I triggered the feature a couple of times. My wins ranged from 80x to 100x.
The Risk’N’Buy feature consists of 2 options. The Risk feature can be played after every winning spin. By spinning the wheel, you will either lose your win or increase it. The wheel has several levels and the maximum you can win here is 1,000x. I tried it several times. The most I won here was 80x.
Another option is to buy the Free Spins feature for 55x the bet. You only get 10 free spins but you can retrigger the feature. I tried it once and got a total of 20 free spins and a 45x win.
Mascot Gaming did a very good job with the visuals and the soundtrack. The contemporary theme of the game really makes you think about what could possibly happen in a not-so-distant future. Even so, it is all up to us to save our environment.
Not that I would normally advise you to go on a hunt for riches in a toxic wasteland but this time it could bring you valuable payouts.
My favourite part of the Wasteland Riches pokie is the Free Spins feature. Also, the Wild Multiplier can prove to be extremely helpful in the base game. I rate Wasteland Riches 7.7.
