Volcano Riches is 5 reels and 40 pay-lines video slot powered by Quickspin software provider. This slot is inspired with volcanos and Pacific’s Ring of Fire. Polynesian goddess of fire – Pele will take you on a fiery adventure where volcanos erupt in huge wins. Nice-looking animation and great design will keep you riveted to your chairs for many spins. Give this slot a spin here for fun or visit Quickspin Casinos to play for real.
Before you go and experience Polynesia first-hand, you should adjust your betting range. By clicking on "Total Bet" button you can set the bets which range from 0.20 to 100. By clicking on "Autoplay" you will set the reels turning automatically without interruption for a chosen number of times, and next to autoplay button you will see "Spin" button which will set the reels in motion.
There are two wilds in the game, regular Wild and Volcano Wild. Volcano is the Wild symbol in the game, and when it lands on the reels it will generate between 1 and 5 Wilds that will get placed at random adjacent positions. Volcano Wild can appear only on reel 3 in the base game, and there can be up to 4 Volcano Wild symbols during the Volcano Wild feature.
Golden Sun is the Scatter and it appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 during the base game. If you land three Scatters you will trigger the Bonus Spins feature, and you’ll get awarded with 10 spins. Scatters cannot appear during the Bonus Spins game.

Quickspin’s Volcano Riches game reminds me of one other game, Volcano Eruption, whereby whenever a Volcano Wild symbol lands on a reel, it would explode and generate a few new Regular Wilds onto the reels. This concept is retained in Volcano Riches, so both games are actually very similar in their gameplay, but quite differing in their payouts.
Volcano Riches play with 40 paylines but with a 0.20 starting bet per spin – I like this, as it saves me from needing a bigger starting balance. The Wild and Bonus symbols are not stacked, but all the other symbols are. Whilst the Regular Wild, Volcano Wild and the Volcano Goddess symbols pay 25x the total bet for any 5 of them, the other symbols would only pay either 2x or 1x the bet amount, which are very low indeed. On top of that, the Wilds do not double any wins with them, the Bonus symbols are non-paying, and the free spins game award only 10 free spins, with no multipliers and with no retriggering.
Nonetheless, fear not, fret not, because despite the very low win values of all the symbols in the game, the Volcano Wild feature can actually generate many new Wild symbols onto the reels, increasing the number and sizes of possible wins, particularly during the free spins. In the base game, only one Volcano Wild symbol can land on reel 3, but it can generate up to 5 new Wilds onto the reels. During the free spins, 1 or 2 Volcano Wilds can land on reels 2 and 4, generating up to 8 new Wilds onto the reels, so you may get 10 or more Wild symbols on the reels! If that doesn’t give you some generous good wins, then nothing else will! Hehehe.
Okay, so by now, you must be eagerly wanting to know how this Volcano Riches game would play and pay, right? Well, I gave the game a few separate sessions, played only with minimum bets all the way, got a fairly good extended playtime for each session, and not forgetting, some anxious moments too, but they weren’t hot enough to make me erupt like a volcano. Too bad, but a good eruption would have erupted this game’s star rating too, hahaha.
