Riddle of Riches: Mystery Cruise Review

High 5 Games have always been a very reliable company, and we are constantly adding their new games to our catalog. In this online slot review, we’ll take a look at a game they launched in December 2022. It’s called Riddle of Riches: Mystery Cruise, and it takes place on a fairly large 5x4 setup with 40 ways to win.

Thematically, Riddle of Riches: Mystery Cruise will take you on an exciting cruise that has a certain mystery at its heart. It’s all about some jewels and cash being stolen, and it’s nice that there’s at least a bit of a story to it all. The game’s visuals are pleasantly stylish, too, and we like its animated background that adds a fair bit to the slot’s overall atmosphere.

Riddle of Riches: Mystery Cruise Slot – Reels Screen

The volatility of Riddle of Riches: Mystery Cruise is medium, and its hit frequency is quite high at 37%. This makes the game suitable for recreational players, and it’s also worth noting that the top win here is 583x your bet. The slot’s betting range then goes from £0.80 to £150 per spin, and its theoretical RTP is rather low at just 95%.

Riddle of Riches: Mystery Cruise Slot Features

There are 10 pay symbols in Riddle of Riches: Mystery Cruise, and they are split between 6 low-paying symbols and 4 high-paying symbols. For low-paying symbols, there are your usual card ranks, though it’s interesting to see that one of them actually displays a 5 instead of the 9 you’d expect. In any case, the high-paying symbols are all way more interesting, as they depict charismatic characters.

In terms of special symbols, there are Wilds, Free Games symbols and Scatter Bucks. Wilds can naturally substitute for any of the pay symbols in winning combinations, and they also have their own payout values.

Riddle of Riches: Mystery Cruise Slot – Free Spins Feature

Free Games symbols can appear only on the game’s three middle reels, and, if you get 3 of them in one go, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with a set of 7 free spins. Retriggers are possible as well, and you’ll get an extra set of 7 free spins if you manage to land 3 Free Games symbols during a free spin. The most free spins that you can get in a single trigger is 98.

Aside from that, there are the aforementioned Scatter Bucks that sound a bit more exciting than they actually are. You see, these are Scatter symbols that can appear either as extra Wilds or with random values, which you can then collect at the end of the given spin.

Review Summary

Although Riddle of Riches: Mystery Cruise looks good, digging into it a bit further actually reveals that it’s a rather mediocre slot that doesn’t bring anything new or interesting to the table. Its Scatter Bucks are entirely boring, too, and it’s also possible to criticize its low jackpot and theoretical RTP.
