Ultra Rich: Slot Overview

If you’re not already in that club, you can at least spend a moment imagining you belong to the uber-wealthy—the 1%, the elite—or, in Red Tiger’s words, the Ultra Rich. Picture a life where money is no longer a consideration. Whatever you want, you have it. Bugattis, gold toilets—nothing is out of reach. Back in reality, though, most grown-ups need to put in effort to earn rewards. The same idea applies in the online slot Ultra Rich, where the aim is to keep spinning steadily to upgrade to better prize wheels and unlock access to increasingly larger potential wins.

During the base game, the Ultra Rich prize wheel spins above the main play area, giving you a reason to keep going. That said, the Base Wheel rewards aren’t exactly inspiring, with the top prize only reaching 15x the bet. Not much to shout about. Still, the potential payouts do increase as you progress, eventually leading to the Mega Wheel’s 1,000x (remembering that multipliers can further enhance prizes on the two unlocked wheels). Visually, it’s all glitz, flashing lights, and a game-show vibe, with plenty of “riches” references scattered around.

The core reel set-up feels more like a supporting act than the main attraction, featuring 5 reels and 25 win lines. Hitting the Stake button opens the bet menu, with wagers starting at 10 c to at the most $/€10 per spin. The game’s default RTP sits at 96%, and its volatility is medium-high.

Standard symbols in Ultra Rich pay left to right across consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Shiny gold 10-A card ranks make up the lower-value symbols, paying 4 to 6 times the bet for 5 OAK combinations. Above them are banknotes, cars, a female singer, and a James Bond-style character as the higher-paying symbols, worth 12 to 40 times the bet for 5-of-a-kind. Then there’s the wild, which substitutes for all paying symbols. Wilds can appear on any reel, and when they form wins on their own, they pay up to 200x the stake for 5 OAK.

Ultra Rich: Slot Features

Ultra Rich revolves around its Wheel Bonus rounds, where as many as 3 wheels can be spun to award cash prizes. The catch is that the stronger wheels have to be opened up via a progress bar system.

Wheel Bonus

The wheel bonus symbol lands on the middle reel. When a wheel symbol appears, the game shifts into the bonus phase, and a wheel spins to deliver a cash prize. Or, as the info panel puts it, an awesome cash prize. In practice, a segmented wheel spins and whichever segment it stops on determines the reward. Some wheel segments also include a respin icon alongside a prize. Hitting a respin segment grants an additional spin on the same wheel, as well as paying the prize shown.

Wheel Upgrades

A 2-stage progress bar sits above the reels, with each stage containing 3 lights. Each time the wheel bonus game is triggered, it activates one of the lights. Filling all 3 lights in a stage unlocks a new extra wheel for the bonus game. Two wheels can be improved in this way: the Super Bonus Wheel and the Mega Wheel.

After the Super Wheel is unlocked, 2 of the sectors on the Base Wheel change into green Upgrade sectors, which not only pay a prize but also award an extra spin on the Super Wheel. Once the Mega Wheel is unlocked, Upgrade sectors appear on the Super Wheel too, awarding an extra spin on the Mega Wheel when an Upgrade is hit.

• Base Wheel Prizes – 5x, 10x, 15x.
• Super Wheel Prizes – 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x, 40x, 50x.
• Mega Wheel Prizes – 30x, 40x, 50x, 60x, 80x, 100x, 200x, 300x, 500x, 1,000x.

Prize Multiplier Reel

The Super Wheel and the Mega Wheel also feature a multiplier reel positioned above them. This reel spins random multiplier values of x2 to x20, or a diamond-shaped blank (no value) position. The multiplier reel spins at the same time as the wheel. If a multiplier lands, it boosts the wheel prize by that amount.

Ultra Rich: Slot Verdict

In case you missed it, there was a report that the Sultan of Brunei—one of the wealthiest people in the world—paid roughly $24,000 for a haircut from a barber flown in from London. If that doesn’t make your eyes widen, he’s also said to own more than 7,000 cars. Driving a different one every day would take about 20 years to cycle through them all. It’s even possible he buys cars faster than he can realistically drive them. Why so many? Well, as long as it’s legal, who’s to say how someone should spend their money.

Ultra Rich, meanwhile—yes, let’s judge it a little. For starters, Ultra Rich isn’t among the most captivating slots Red Tiger has produced. There’s simply too much waiting around in a base game that lacks features, even with all the premium sparkle on display. Then you’re required to grind your way toward the more rewarding wheels via the progress bar, which takes time, and the lower-tier wheels you’re stuck with along the way aren’t particularly interesting. Another drawback is that even after both wheels are unlocked, every wheel bonus still begins with a spin of the Base Wheel, and only if you land on an Upgrade sector do you move to the Super Wheel—then only if you hit another Upgrade sector do you finally get to spin the Mega Wheel. That means a fair bit of messing about on smaller-prize wheels, plus a decent chunk of luck just to reach the part where something genuinely exciting can happen.

On the brighter side, working your way through all 3 prize wheels could end up feeling thrilling, and Ultra Rich does offer a 10,000x the bet win cap, supported by random multipliers on the two higher wheels. So, the game can absolutely deliver strong outcomes—but it’s questionable how many players will be happy to sit tight and wait for them to show up.
