Gangster's Gold - Royal Riches

Gangster's Gold – Royal Riches Overview

Gangster's Gold – Royal Riches is a Prohibition-era slot from Spinomenal, released on 15 December 2023. It runs on a classic 5x3 grid with 50 fixed paylines, and its main attraction is a free spins round where you choose the reel that carries a stacked wild. SlotCatalog lists a 91.97% RTP (the game comes in several RTP versions) and a maximum win of 1,000x. Stakes run from 0.50 to 500.

Setting and Symbols

The reels sit in an art-deco gold frame in front of a smoky 1920s nightclub, with musicians and guests in silhouette behind the glass. The high symbols are pure gangster film: a white fedora, a red vintage car, a box of cigars, brass knuckles and a golden rose, with the royals drawn as tall art-deco letters.

Three characters carry the features. A dark-haired lady in pearls is the WILD, a mobster in a green fedora is the Free Spins scatter, and a roulette-style wheel marked BONUS appears as its own symbol.

How the Lines Pay

With 50 lines on a 5x3 grid, almost every combination of positions is covered, so wins come often and usually from several lines at once. The per-line stake is set with the plus and minus buttons, and the total bet is always fifty times the line bet – 10 per line equals 500 total in our screenshots.

What Our Spins Showed

We played at 500 total (10 per line), and the base game produced some solid hits:

• A column of white fedoras across the first reels with a wild on reel four paid 1,650 – 3.3x the bet.
• Two stacked wilds with cigars, fedoras and a car paid 1,750 – 3.5x.
• The biggest screen was a Mega Win of 6,750 – 13.5x the bet – with wilds and a BONUS wheel visible behind the coin shower.

Triggering the Free Spins

One screenshot catches the moment the feature lands: two green-hatted mobster scatters, the BONUS wheel, and the explosion animation running across the reels before the game switches screens. The balance at that point was 2,750.

Choose Your Stacked Wild

This is where Royal Riches differs from a standard free spins slot. The game shows five reels side by side, each topped by a number, and asks you to “choose a reel where a stacked wild will be placed throughout the free spins”. The offers in our round were:

• Reel 1: 10 free spins
• Reel 2: 12 free spins
• Reel 3: 14 free spins
• Reel 4: 18 free spins
• Reel 5: 20 free spins

The trade-off is clear: a wild on the first reel starts every line from the left, but gives the fewest spins; a wild on the last reel gives twice as many spins, but only completes lines that already run across four reels.

Inside the Free Spins

In the free spins screenshot the fourth reel is covered by the lady in pearls as a stacked wild, and single wilds have landed on reels two and three as well – the stacked reel does the heavy lifting, the extra wilds turn it into multi-line hits. With 12 free spins remaining the round had already paid 1,740 on a 100 stake – 17.4x.

Weighing the Reel Choice

The five offers are not just a gamble on spin count. On a 50-line game almost every line crosses every reel, so a permanent wild anywhere helps; the question is how often it completes a line. A wild on reel one or two works together with any three matching symbols to its right, while a wild on reel five only pays when four matching symbols already line up in front of it. In practice the middle reel – 14 spins – is the compromise: it sits in the centre of every line and still gives a decent number of spins. Our round went for more spins with the wild further right.

Buy Feature

The BUY button next to the spin opens a panel titled “Trigger Free Spins with Stacked Wild Feature”. At a 500 bet the price was 15,500 – 31x. You can change the bet inside the panel before confirming.

Other Features

SlotCatalog also lists mystery symbols, a random multiplier, a level-up mechanic and a bonus game for this title – the BONUS wheel symbol on the reels points to the latter. Our screenshots do not show these rounds in action, so we leave their details to the in-game rules.

The Gangster's Gold Series

Royal Riches belongs to a small family. SlotCatalog lists the original Gangster's Gold and a follow-up called Gangster's Gold – On The Run alongside this title, all from Spinomenal. The Royal Riches edition keeps the mobster theme and adds the reel-choice free spins as its signature. For a different take on the crime genre, Gangster Overlord is another slot we have covered.

Who It Is For

Gangster's Gold – Royal Riches suits players who like a classic 50-line slot with one clear decision to make. The reel choice in the free spins adds a little strategy, the 31x buy is on the cheaper side, and the 1,000x cap keeps expectations realistic. Check the RTP in your casino’s version before playing, as it varies.
