Rattle your dags and pack your boxing gear, because I am taking you to the central ring. The moment you enter the hall, you will be greeted with the official announcer of the match. I like to think that Michael Buffer is doing the announcement, but that’s just me.
The sounds of the cheering crowd and heavy-metal music will raise your spirits as you prepare to meet your virtual opponent. You will not have to fight him as he is a guy that will help you land huge wins.
Those of you who are not familiar with boxing will have a chance to learn more about this noble sport. On the reels, you will find a proper boxer, which is a 3-cell-long symbol. Boxing gloves bring Wilds that substitute for all regular icons.
The WBC Championship belt also appears on the reels, as well as the trophy, the bell, and VIP tickets. Everybody fights for money, so there is also a dollar sign acting as a high-paying symbol. Of course, the lovely lady that appears between rounds is there so that you can rest your eyes.
The logo of the pokie is Scatter that triggers free spins. Low-paying icons are represented by playing cards.
Rules of the WBC Ring of Riches pokie machine are far easier than the actual rules of boxing. The 2021 release is played on a 5×4 grid, with 20 fixed paylines. The slot pays left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel. Land at least 3 matching symbols on a line to win a payout.
The boxer and Wild are the only two symbols that pay for 2 of a kind. Betting is fixed at 20 coins per spin. Since the coin denomination can be altered, bets can go from $0.20 to $40 per spin. WBC Ring of Riches is a medium-to-high variance game with an RTP of 95.48% and a maximum payout of 9,200x the bet.
When you watch a boxing match, you expect plenty of action, eh? Even so, it might happen that certain boxing matches are not as entertaining. Fortunately, WBC Ring of Riches will satisfy the need of every action junkie out there.
Various extras will boost your odds both in the base game and free spins. The base game brings Wild Frames, Stacked Wilds, and win multipliers. All of this is also available within the Free Spins feature, with a little addition of Sticky Wilds.
I decided to call this feature 10 Rounds for several reasons. First, it sounds like a 10-round match. Next, the BGaming title offers this feature in cycles of 10 spins. Finally, it is easier to call it this way than to call it, for example, Wild Frames and Stacked Wilds with Possible Win Multipliers. Too long, eh?
Within a 10-spin cycle, you will land glove symbols. They activate Wild Frames, which remain sticky on the reels for the current 10-spin cycle. The grid is cleaned of frames after each 10th spin. Now, you can land gloves on a cell that has already been marked with a Wild Frame. This increases the win multiplier.
The win multiplier goes up by 1x with every glove symbol that has landed in a previously framed cell. On the 10th spin, all cells with Wild Frames turn into Wilds. Also, the available win multiplier is applied to all possible wins.
Everything resets after the 10th spin. I had a lot of fun with this feature. It brought me so much joy and a decent number of wins. Thanks to Stacked Wilds, I had my fair share of Wild Reels, while my biggest win was 850x the bet within one 10-round cycle.
With 3 Logo Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5, you trigger the Free Spins feature. If it is triggered while you have an active win multiplier, the multiplier is applied to payouts from free spins. You get 10 free spins with Sticky Wilds.
Each Wild that lands on the reels remains in its position until the feature ends. It took me so long to trigger the feature, over 150 paid spins. What made me pack a sad is that the feature cannot be retriggered.
I got my fair share of Sticky Wilds, but the regular symbols that appeared were mostly playing cards. So, I didn’t win as many bucks as I had spent while trying to trigger the feature.
WBC Ring of Riches is an excellent pokie machine that boasts striking visuals and a very good soundtrack. There are more than enough additional features that will keep you occupied for a long time.
My favourites are the features available in the base game, with Wild Frames, Stacked Wilds, and win multipliers in play. It even made me forget about the Free Spins feature.
I rate WBC Ring of Riches by BGaming 9.3. The rating would have been higher if it had been possible to retrigger free spins.
