Imperial Riches™ is a 5×3 reels free video slot but uses the Avalanche™ technique instead of spinning the reels. Three Free Falls features, the Lucky Pond bonus game and the jackpot game with 5 different jackpots 3 progressive and 2 fixed but also with wild substitutions! In a magical interface with sacred fish you can try your luck and win one of the jackpots!
In the Chinese countryside, the master Yang has a huge house with a beautiful pond next to it (Imperial Riches™ game interface). A witch Liu goes there disguised as an old lady to ask him for food and a place to sleep for a few days because according to her, she had lost everything in a fire and wanted to go to her family in the north.
The master, a well-known sage, did not hesitate for a moment and gave her his hospitality. And does not suspect for a moment the real reason for her visit. In fact an evil sorcerer, Ming, had posed as a disciple and was going to lead a revolution from within by hypnotising the rest of the disciples.
Ming hypnotized the disciples one by one, and would finish in a fortnight. But that was without the presence of the maid Liu who did not want Master Yang to get into trouble. And she was going to use all her strength to help him, she couldn't let the villain Ming get away with it.
When Ming hypnotized someone, Liu would go behind and untrain him. Ming thought he was going to be finished, but the good witch did the opposite. On the last day, when Ming thought he was finished, he realised that all the work he had done was useless, he had failed!
The maid Liu was going to turn him into a golden fish (symbol of the Lucky Pond game) and send him into the pond without anyone realising what he had done. But Master Yang was aware of this and to thank Liu he built him a small house next to the pond.
The wild symbol in the main game and in the free falls will be able to appear randomly anywhere on reels 2-4 to substitute for all symbols except the scatter symbols. Wild symbol substitution will pay the highest combination on a winning line according to the paytable.
In the main game and in free falls, symbols will fall on the reels instead of spinning. A winning line will trigger an Avalanche. All symbols in winning combinations except the scatter symbols will light up and disappear leaving room for a second avalanche of symbols to try and get higher wins.
Wins with scatter symbols are paid once during the Avalanche™ feature. Scatter symbol wins will be rewarded in full after the last avalanche. Avalanches will continue until there are no more wins.
3 scatter symbols will randomly appear anywhere on the reels in the main game will activate 10 free falls. Each additional scatter will appear anywhere on the reels in the main game only will activate 5 additional free falls, Free falls start when there are no more winning lines and the Avalanche™ feature ends.
In the free falls all winning symbols from the winning lines will be counted as jewels. The Lucky Pond bonus game feature will be activated if jewels have been collected. The Lucky Pond bonus game will start when the free falls have ended.
Jewels collected in the free falls will fall into the pond and they can be eaten by the bonus fish or the coin fish. The probability of each jewel being eaten by the coin fish or bonus fish or going straight to the bottom of the pond is equal for all.
Jewels eaten by the coin fish will be awarded coins according to the paytable and this payout will be multiplied by the bet level. The jewels eaten will be displayed on the indicators of the bonus fish. If the bonus fish eats 3 jewels during the Lucky Pond Bonus Game, the jackpot will be activated.
The Lucky Pond bonus game will only end if all collected jewels are played. The Jackpot game will start after the Lucky Pond game. Free falls are played on the same bet and coin level as the round that activated them. Winnings from free falls will be added to the initial winnings.
At the start of the Jackpot game 50 jewels will fall into the spread and can randomly trigger coin wins and/or one of 5 jackpots. The Jackpot game has one coin fish and five jackpot fish. If 3 jewels have been eaten by the jackpot fish that jackpot will be won.
Each jackpot fish has an indicator just below the jackpot counter which will increase with each jewel eaten. The jewels eaten by the fish will be in agreement with the payout table and this payout will be multiplied by the bet level. Jewels eaten by the jackpot fish will be displayed on the indicators under the jackpot counter.
The probability of winning the progressive jackpot correlates with the size of the bet. A maximum of one jackpot can be won in the Jackpot game. The jackpot game will only end when all the jewels are played. The jackpot game has three progressive jackpots and 2 fixed jackpots. The existing jackpot of each type is displayed at the top of the game.
The Jackpot game has 3 progressive jackpots which means that with each bet a portion of the wager is added to these jackpots which are the MEGA, MAJOR and MIDI. 3.8% will contribute to the Mega Jackpot, 1.5% will contribute to the Major Jackpot and 1% will contribute to the Midi Jackpot.
None of the jackpots can be won when playing in fun mode. At the end of the Jackpot game, the total winnings from the Jackpot game will be added to the winnings from the round that triggered the game. When a spin triggers a certain Jackpot it will be blocked and simultaneously ensure that no other spin can claim that jackpot.
