A century or so ago the Romanov dynasty exercised wide-ranging influence over the rulers of Russia and lived better than most kings. They were clever, famous and indirectly ruled over countless millions of people, apart from influencing world history. Movies in the scores have been made documenting their life and times. Now comes a slot from Microgaming that’s based on their exploits and it is called the Romanov Riches. It can be played on desktops or any mobile devices, enables wins that can reach 1,000x the stake per spin, and has more bonus features than the Romanovs ever had well-groomed horses!

Rich For Greatness With Romanov Riches!
5 reels and 15 paylines are located in the Romanov Riches slot, with bets per spin starting and maxing out at 20p to ₤100 respectively. The gameplay objective here is to simply gather gems and so scoop up some of the riches of the fabled Romanov’s.
The visuals on this slot are quite good and totally reeks of opulence. The featured icons comprise playing card values, along with a quartet of Russian royal gems. A snowflake acts as the wild icon and does its bit by replacing any other icon when wins appear viable.
Bonus Features
Each of the featured reels in the Romanov Riches slot is in possession of a stack of mystery icons, and a single icon takes the place of the mystery icon stacks on the reels. During base gameplay, an icon can take the place of a couple of the leftmost mystery icon stack and so help in forming bigger wins. Other icons like the bonus icon can also take the place of the mystery stack icons,
By matching the full symbol stack, players can activate the re-spin bonus. These triggering icons must appear on from two to four reels, must be next to each other and start from the first reel. The triggering stacked icons then become locked in position as the rest of the reels spin.
It is possible for mystery stacks to match the triggering stacks. When this occurs an extra respin is awarded. Overall, all the five reels can show the mystery stacked icon, with this making possible wins that can reach 750x the stake.
Three Wheel Bonus – this bonus feature is triggered when full stacks of the bonus icons land on the reels, starting from the first reels. Getting 3, 4 or 5 of the bonus stacks icons results in the award of 1, 2 or 3 bonus wheels respectively. Thus:
- 3 Bonus stacks trigger Wheel 1
- 4 Bonus stacks trigger Wheel 2
- 5 Bonus stacks trigger Wheel 3
On wheels 1 and 2, the players gain cash awards, while the third wheel awards multiplier values that can reach 10x.
Final Thoughts
The Romanov Riches slot is a medium variance game with lovely graphics. Players of this slot can get 750x the stake in the base game and 1,000x the stake during the wheel bonus mode. It is coherent, engaging and good for extended gameplay sessions where the Romanov’s can be made to give up some of their fabled riches!
