Riches of the Amazon

Riches of the Amazon is a 25 line video slot from WMS Gaming. It is part of their Winning Streak Series which means all 15 symbol positions spin independently and you can get a whole screen of the same symbols. The game has several bonus features including a pick a box bonus, an optional gamble feature and a random Jackpot Party game.

Probably the biggest feature on Riches of the Amazon is the Spinning Streak. The way this works is that any winning combination is held and the other positions re-spin. If your win is improved the extra symbols are held and the reels keep re-spinning until no extra winning combination is formed.

Riches of the Amazon has a wild symbol which is the Riches of the Amazon Logo. This symbol only appears on columns 1, 3 and 5 and substitutes for everything but the scattered Gold Coins. Top line pay is 500 coins for five of the Red Mask symbols and second highest line pay is 350 coins for five of the Blue Masks.

While the jackpots on the pay table are all relatively small it's worth keeping in mind that you can get a whole screen of the same symbols. For the highest and second highest combinations this would come in at 12,500 and 8,750 coins which are good size wins.

The Gold Coin symbols pay anywhere on the reels and activate the Spinning Streak feature if three or more are on the screen at once. You need to get 5 or more to trigger the Gold Challenge Feature. Getting 7 or more scatters also awards a bonus prize with a 200X win of 10,000 coins awarded if you get lucky and hit 11 or more.

The Gold Challenge Feature is a two stage pick a box bonus where you first select from one of four Torches (Preview). Your pick reveals one of four items and lead to the next part of the bonus where you pick one item to reveal a prize (Preview). There are a couple of bonus items hidden on the levels which can double your win or award all prizes. The possible prizes per pick at each level are;

• Stone : 2 to 10 times total bet
• Copper : 5 to 15 times total bet
• Silver : 5 to 25 times total bet
• Gold : 10 to 40 times total bet

An extra pick can be won if you uncover the "All Cash + Torch" prize which gives you all of the cash prizes on your level plus the chance to pick another Torch and repeat the bonus.

On top of the Gold Challenge Bonus, Riches of the Amazon also has a Jackpot Party Bonus which is awarded independently from anything on the reels. Once the bonus is won you pick presents to win cash prizes or stars. You get to keep picking until you find a "Collect" which ends the bonus and returns you to the reels.
