Rainbow Riches is typical of the popular video fruit machine that can be found up and down the UK; it graces pretty much every pub, club and bookies everywhere. And of course - to the delight of its many fans - it can now be played online.
However, is it the same game? Certainly, the features look similar and the gameplay refeshingly similar. Indeed, commentators have expressed really positive vides about just how successful the transistion online has been.
However, if you take a look under the bonnet, then a real glimpse of the way the game is played can be seen, and UK gaming laws play their part.
By law, the latest generation of gaming machines - such as Rainbow Riches - must pay out a certain percentage after a given number of spins. Therefore, let's say in 10,000 spins (at 1 a spin) 9000 must be returned. This means that towards the end of the cycle, if the 9,000 has been reached, then the game will go through a 'cold' spell - that is, returning very little. Although the gameplay may be 'random', feature wins will be decidedly stingy and gambles not going the players way very often.
Of course, the reverse is also true: that is, if the payout target has not been reached, the the machine will be in generous mode; features will be very lucrative indeed and gambles win more than they lose!
Online games, by contrast, must by law be totally random. Therefore, every spin has an equal chance of winning without any 'catch up' required.
For the player, the truly random online route is far more preferable, and not just because the percentage payout is better (95% compared to 90% at land-based sites). The other key reason is that professional players can 'read' land based machines very well - and so improve their chances of winning. It means the casual punter will be more likely to lose than win, and that is never a good thing!
