Our opinion about New Year Riches

With this festive themed machine, the provider Play'n GO is adding to its already extensive range of slots. Simple and effective, New Year Riches will be a good entertainment for players looking for an entertaining break. While the base game can quickly get bored, the interest of this machine lies in its free spins bonus with multipliers and respins for a high potential of 5,000 times its initial bet. Admittedly, the theme limited to a very specific period of the year can cool down more than one. But its average volatility, allowing for nice gains, will eventually convince them.
