Regal Riches here is IGT’s royal court slot, online since 2022, not the unrelated RealTime Gaming game. It runs five reels, four rows and 30 fixed lines built around collecting wilds: blue and green jewels feed two meters, the stored wilds drop onto the screen later, and a wild placed on another wild becomes a 2x to 5x multiplier. Mega Free Spins bring 88 wilds. The free demo below is a similar royal pokie.
Regal Riches runs on five reels and four rows with 30 fixed lines that pay left to right. Every spin costs 75 coins, so a 1-cent coin makes a 75-cent spin, and the top stake depends on the market: €45 under the official rules published in Austria, $500 at a US operator. Those rules give a return of about 96.27%, but databases list settings from 87.49% to 96.27% depending on where you play, and several show 93% as the default without naming the casinos that use it. Volatility is medium in every source, and hit frequency is not published. We found no IGT figure for the maximum win and the official rules state none; two databases list 3,333x the total bet, just under $2,500 on a 75-cent spin.
Regal Riches Pokies Characteristics
Wins need three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from reel 1, and only the highest win on each line is paid. The wild substitutes for every paying symbol and comes in three colours: blue wilds land on reels 1 to 4, green and gold ones only on reel 5, and the bonus scatters follow the same pattern. Colour also decides which meter a symbol feeds: each blue jewel adds one to the Guaranteed Wilds meter, each green jewel on reel 5 in the base game adds one to the Major meter, and both then turn into wilds.
There is no jackpot, bonus buy or gamble option in the official rules; the two meters are the only things that build up.
Wins below are in coins for three, four and five of a kind, from the official rules. Every spin costs 75 coins, so divide by 75 for multiples of the total bet.
The bonus scatters have no published cash pay. The top line, five wilds, is worth 1.67x the total bet, so no single line pays much on its own. One database ranks the shield above the other three objects, but the official table pays all four the same.
The Guaranteed Wilds meter starts at five, gains one per blue jewel and holds up to 50. At random on a base-game spin it empties onto random positions and resets to five. Two databases say it fires only on spins without jewels, wilds or bonus scatters; the official rules only say it is random. With 20 positions on screen, any drop above 20 wilds must stack, so a full meter brings multipliers too.
A wild placed on a position that already holds a wild makes it a 2x multiplier wild, and each further wild there adds one, up to 5x. Multipliers in the same win are added, not multiplied: a five-trumpet line worth 60 coins that runs through a 2x and a 3x wild pays 300 coins, or 4x the total bet. One operator review says the meter wilds arrive at 5x; the official rules start them at 2x.
Both rounds need two blue bonus scatters on reels 1 to 4, and the scatter on reel 5 picks the round: green for Major Free Spins, gold for Mega Free Spins. One database puts the blue scatters on reels 1 and 4 only; the official rules accept any two of the first four. Each round lasts 10 spins and cannot be retriggered.
Major Free Spins spread every wild in the Major meter across the 10 spins. The meter starts at 40, gains one per green jewel on reel 5 in the base game and resets to 40 after the round, and reaching its cap of 100 starts Major Free Spins without scatters. Mega Free Spins always carry 88 wilds. So a Major round started with more than 88 wilds in the meter carries more wilds than a Mega, and one near the floor of 40 less than half as many.
The Regal Riches RTP of 96.27% means the game keeps about 3.7 cents of every dollar bet over the long run. At the 93% several databases show it keeps 7 cents, and at 87.49%, the bottom of the listed range, about 12.5 cents, more than three times as much. Medium volatility sits between steady classics and feast-or-famine games, but no hit rate is published, and with line pays this small, sessions turn on the wild drops and free spins.
At the 75-cent minimum, $75 buys 100 spins, with a long-run cost of about $2.80 at 96.27% and $9.40 at 87.49%, though one session can land far from either; five wilds on a line pay $1.25 at that stake. SlotCatalog says each bet level keeps its own meters, which the official rules do not address, so check both meters after changing the bet.
The land-based Regal Riches came first, around 2020, and by May 2021 IGT was naming it among the high-performing core video games for its PeakSlant49 cabinet in the US. The one review of the machine we found gives the same 5×4, 30-line layout but three 10-game bonuses, Minor in purple, Major in green and Mega in yellow, each started by swords of its colour. Outside the UK each bonus has a shared must-hit-by meter and pays out every wild collected by all players since it last triggered, which the reviewer calls advantage play. The online game followed in 2022, on dates databases give as anything from February to November, and its Austrian rules have no Minor round.
Prosperity Pearl is an IGT reskin with the same mechanics, and Playtika launched a free-to-play social version in March 2025 with Minor, Major and Mega Free Games. RealTime Gaming’s Regal Riches of October 2014 is unrelated: a 5×3 game listed with 20 or 25 lines, free spins with a rising multiplier and two random progressive jackpots.
The Regal Riches slot is set in a royal court with a futuristic edge; one database calls it Futuristic Royalty. Deep purples and blues fill the screen, with bright green, yellow and gold kept for the feature elements. The card royals are blue with gold-tinted edges, and the other symbols are a lute, a trumpet, a goblet, a ring with a green gem, a crown and a shield. The online game is HTML5 and runs on desktop, tablet and phone, iOS and Android included.
IGT Australia lists Regal Riches among its trademarks for Australia, but we could not confirm the game on Australian club, pub or casino floors: we found no IGT Australia game page, IGT’s announcements for the 2023 and 2024 Australasian Gaming Expo do not mention it, and a search of ACT approval notices found none naming it. Regal Riches online for real money is documented in regulated markets in Austria, the US and the UK; our search for a Regal Riches casino that accepts Australians found nothing confirmed, so availability varies and the lobby search is the way to check. We found no official Regal Riches demo from IGT; two review databases host free-play versions, and Playtika’s social app is free, though we did not check Australian app stores.
Regal Riches is a slot about collecting: the best line pays 1.67x the total bet, so the game lives on its meters, its wild drops and multipliers of up to 5x. It suits players who like medium volatility with something building between features and can do without a jackpot or bonus buy. It does not suit anyone wanting a big ceiling stated by the studio, since IGT gives none and the 3,333x comes from databases. Check the return first: listed settings run from 87.49% to 96.27%.
About 96.27% under the official rules published in Austria, but databases list settings down to 87.49%, and several show 93% as the default.
Two blue bonus scatters on reels 1 to 4 plus a green scatter on reel 5 start Major Free Spins, or a gold one Mega Free Spins. A full Major meter of 100 wilds also starts the Major round.
We found no IGT figure, and the official rules state no maximum. Two databases list 3,333x the total bet.
A wild placed on another wild makes that position a 2x multiplier wild, and each further wild there adds one, up to 5x. Multipliers in the same win are added together.
IGT lists the name among its trademarks for Australia, but we could not confirm the game on Australian floors or at any casino that accepts Australians, so search the lobby before depositing.
Close. The land-based machine adds a purple Minor bonus and, outside the UK, shared must-hit-by meters; the Austrian online rules have only Major and Mega. RealTime Gaming’s 2014 Regal Riches is a different game.
