Epic Riches (Wizard Games) – Review & Demo Play

Introduction to Epic Riches

Epic Riches drops me into Sin City on a compact 3x3 grid with 9 paylines. The theme is familiar, yet the gameplay feels lively thanks to quick cycles, stacked wilds, and Hold and Win bursts. I run it on mobile or desktop, set a stake, and let the tempo build. It’s a Vegas-flavoured slot I use for short, focused sessions where hit frequency matters and features show up often enough to keep the base game from going stale.

Epic Riches theme & storyline

The action sits on the Strip backdrop with lights, hotels, and that unmistakable Vegas skyline. The colour palette leans neon with moving stage lights and palm fronds framing the reels. A classy, energetic beat fits the play and keeps the mood right through the session. It looks modern without getting flashy, which works nicely for a classic set-up that leans on tempo and crisp feedback.

Symbols stick to casino staples: bars, double bars, treble bars, chips, and the red lucky sevens. The Wild comes as a diamond, and there are special cards that tie into the respins. It’s a compact mix that pays straight lines cleanly and highlights Wild behaviour well, so you can read the screen state in a glance and decide whether to ride the spin or tweak the bet.

Epic Riches RTP and Variance

RTP comes in variants. Depending on the operator, I’ve seen 94.02% or about 96.24% to 96.25%. The volatility sits medium to medium-high, and the hit rate is quoted at 33.97%, so about every third spin lands on paper. Top prizes vary by version, with figures like 1,535x and around x1600 also referenced. I always check the info panel before I deposit so I know which RTP I’m on and set my session length and stake sizing accordingly.

Bet sizes & paytable wins in Epic Riches

Bets start at 0.20 and go up to 100 per spin across 9 fixed lines on a 3x3 layout. Wins pay from left to right only, and the whole thing is old school in the best way: quick spins, clear lines, tight reels. It suits bankrolls of most sizes, and with the quoted hit frequency you can map out a session plan and stick to it without the stake feeling out of place.

For three-of-a-kind, the paytable lists: Wild 2 at 800x, Wild at 80x, Lucky 7 at 50x, Chips at 30x, Treble Bar at 20x, Double Bar at 15x, Single Bar at 10x, and Any Bar at 5x. Max potential is shown as up to 1,535x in some builds and about x1600 elsewhere. On a compact grid, that’s respectable, though not huge, which matches the volatility setting.

Bonus Features in Epic Riches

Wild behaviour carries the base. You get regular Wilds, Multiplier Wilds that apply 2x, and Expanded Wilds that can land stacked to cover a reel. On 3x3, a single expanded reel shifts outcomes fast, and the multiplier version gives tidy line upgrades without making things feel swingy beyond the math model.

The self-titled Epic Riches feature plays like Hold and Win. Land 3 or more Special Card symbols to get 3 respins. Triggering cards lock, show cash values, and only Special Cards plus royals can land during the feature. Any new symbol locks and resets the counter to 3. When respins end or the grid fills, all shown values are paid. It’s simple, punchy, and fits the compact reel set.

Royal cards can add a mini-game at the end. Ace covers the middle reel with an Expanded Sticky Wild while reels 1 and 3 respin until a win. King awards a respin with 2–9 extra Wilds. Queen fixes Expanded Sticky Wilds on reels 1 and 3 while the middle reel spins to a win. Jack keeps respinning until a win, then applies a random multiplier up to 30x. Good variety without clutter.

Epic Riches review: my verdict

The design is slick, the soundtrack keeps the vibe, and the 3x3, 9-line set-up feels tight in a good way. A nice variety of Wild symbols means the base game never gets dull, while respins and the royal mini-games add proper spikes. On the flip side, the RTP can be set lower, and the maximum win sits around the 1,535x to x1600 mark, so it’s capped. I treat it as a pacey Vegas hit with steady feature action.
