Wizard Riches Guide

Game Features & Mechanics

Wizard Riches by IGT is a feature-packed slot with several persistent advantage mechanics layered on top of each other. There is no free games bonus, which means most of the payback is concentrated in these visible features - and that is exactly what makes the game so interesting to hustle.

• Delayed Wilds: Symbols with a glowing pink/purple border that are guaranteed to turn fully wild on the next spin. Delayed wilds never appear on reel 1 and they only last for one spin before they are gone. The game adds delayed wilds whenever any of these conditions are met on a spin:
  • Two bordered symbols connected left-to-right anywhere in the first four reels.
  • Three bordered symbols anywhere in the first three reels.
  • Four bordered symbols anywhere in the first four reels.
• Countdown Jackpots: Jackpot icons appear above the reels with a countdown indicator that shows how many spins they will stick around. The indicator can be filled with up to two yellow markers - when there are no markers left, the icon disappears on the next spin. Landing three adjacent jackpot symbols awards the Mini, four adjacent awards the Minor, and all five awards the Major.
• Past Mystery Multipliers (left bookcase): The last five wins are displayed on a bookcase on the left side of the screen, with the most recent win on the top shelf. A multiplier from 2x to 10x can randomly appear above this bookcase. When it triggers, it applies to either the last win or the largest of the last two to five wins (the count is randomly chosen between one and five). Numbers higher up the bookcase have a better chance of being multiplied because more random selections include them.
• Future Mystery Multipliers (right bookcase): A second bookcase on the right side of the screen can also show a 2x to 10x multiplier above it. It applies to either the next win, or the largest of the next two to five wins (also randomly chosen). The right bookcase fills up going forward as new wins land.
• Interaction rules: Mystery multipliers do not apply to any of the jackpots, and jackpot wins / multiplier wins are not recorded in the last-five-wins bookcase. Tapping the left bookcase will illuminate the last five wins so they are easier to read.

Because all of these features are persistent and visible on the cabinet, Wizard Riches gives you a lot of different things to scan for when walking the floor - more chances to find value, but also more chances for casual players to miss the value they leave behind.
