Volcano Riches Overview
Volcano Riches is a Quickspin video slot with a Polynesian flavour, running on a 5x4 grid with 40 fixed paylines. It launched back in March 2018 and still holds up visually, with grass skirts, wooden idols and canoes setting the scene. The hook for chat is the Volcano Wild Feature, where wilds erupt lava across the reels.
Game Symbols and Value
Symbols split into three groups: Elders (Pele the Fire Goddess, a man and a woman from the Circle of Fire), four stone idols styled after Easter Island, and the specials. Pele pays the most among the regulars, while the idols handle the smaller hits. No card royals here, which I like.
The specials are where the action sits. Standard Wild swaps for everything except the Scatter. Volcano Wild only lands on reel 3 in the base game, then reels 2 and 4 during Free Spins. Golden Sun Scatter appears on the middle three reels and triggers the bonus when all three drop in.

Bonus Features
The Volcano Wild Feature is the star. When a Volcano Wild hits reel 3 in the base game, it erupts and adds up to 4 extra wilds across the reels. Decent boost for the main game, especially when it stacks near paying symbols.
Land 3 Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 and you get 10 Free Spins. Two Volcano Wilds can land simultaneously on reels 2 and 4 during the bonus, potentially adding up to 8 wilds on a single spin. Wins also pay both ways here, doubling your shots at connections. There is no re-trigger, which stings a bit if I'm honest with chat.
Bonus Buy Options
Volcano Wild lands on reel 3 in base game and erupts, adding up to 4 extra wilds. In Free Spins it lands on reels 2 and 4, adding up to 8 wilds per spin.
Land 3 Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 to trigger 10 Free Spins. Wins pay both ways during the round. No re-trigger available.
RTP, Volatility and Max Win
RTP sits at 96.43%, which is bang on industry average. Volatility is medium, so expect fairly steady payouts with the odd bigger hit when volcanoes cooperate. Bet range runs from 0.20 to 100 per spin, covering most bankrolls. Max win caps at 150,000 coins, no progressive jackpot attached.
How to Play
Set your total bet, hit spin, and away you go. All 40 paylines are active on every spin, so there is no line adjustment to worry about. Autoplay is there for longer sessions, which I use when I want to chat to viewers without tapping the button constantly. Works in-browser on desktop, mobile and tablet, no download needed.
