Renoir Riches Slot Review

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, more commonly known as Auguste Renoir, was a French artist who is known as one of the leading painters in the development of the Impressionist style. He lived between the years of 1841 and 1919, and he celebrated beauty and feminine sensuality in a way that had never really been done before. It would also be Renoir who joined forces with the likes of Monet, Sisley and Pissarro, amongst other artists, to mount the first Impressionist exhibition in April of 1874, where six of his own paintings went on display. His works of art are still vastly admired today, and it’s this admiration that brought High 5 Games to the conclusion that they needed to make a game based on him. Like the other artist-inspired video slots from this developer, you’ll play the role of an undercover detective, and you’ll need to seek out the perpetrator who stole the Renoir paintings from the local gallery. Don’t worry though, because once you’ve returned all of these to their rightful locations, you’ll be highly rewarded and the thieves will be penalised.

An Impressionist’s Works

If you’re unfamiliar with the idea of impressionism, this game will introduce you to some of the artist’s most famous works of art, and these will be displayed on the five reel and three row layout. However, before you can get to these, you’ll see that the game also includes some of the very frequently used A, K and Q icons, which have themselves been given a little artistic flair. Joining these are three of Renoir’s paintings, which exist in the form of By the Seashore, Young Girl in a Straw Hat and a part of Charles and Georges Durand Ruel. Each of these nicely capture the impressionist style, even in their smaller symbol-sized format.

Renoir Riches also includes a total of 99 different pay lines to go alongside the reels, rows and icons. However, these can be customised to suit your own personal preferences, and this is easily done with the arrow buttons to the right hand side of the relevant box. Further to this, players can also adjust the value of the wager that they place per spin, and this is done by switching the bet per line between its minimum of $0.01 and its maximum of $10. Therefore, if you have all of the 99 pay lines active, the maximum overall wager that you’re able to place stands at $990 per round.

Return the Paintings to the Gallery

High 5 Games have ensured that you’ll have a little bit of help in locating the thieves by adding some special features to this game. The first of these is the often-used ‘Tumbling Reels’ feature, and this comes into play as soon as you begin making wins. Once you do, you’ll receive the relevant pay out for the win(s), following which, the icons included in it will disappear and leave gaps for more icons to fill. These fall from the top of the reels, and if one or more further wins are created, the process starts all over again.

Not only that, but the developer has added a wild symbol into game play as well, which is represented simply by the symbol reading, ‘WILD’ on it. As a wild, it will substitute for all other icons on the reels, except for the ‘Free Games’ symbol, in order to form a winning combination. Wilds will only make appearances on reels two, three and four.

In addition, there’s the previously noted ‘Free Games’ icon, and this can only show up on reels one, two and three. If you manage to spin three of these onto an active winning pay line, you’ll trigger one, two, three or four freespins of the reels. And extra wild icon is added into the game whenever you play the freespins round, and this level is always played on 99 bet lines.

To Catch a Thief

Renoir Riches, alongside all the other artist-inspired High 5 Games products, is another inspiring offering from this developer. It fits nicely into their catalogue of video slots, and both graphically and game play-wise, it entertains from start to finish.
