Rain Balls

Even though its name suggests it, Rain Balls is an Irish-themed video slot designed by Skywind Group – a Minsk-based company widely known for providing casual, innovative and original games. 

In 2020, their portfolio counted more than 150 highly entertaining titles and we hope this atypical release will share all the qualities of its predecessors. Take an insider peak into the brand’s inner workings in this exclusive LCB interview with Skywind. 

Played on a common 5x3 grid, the game offers unique feature triggering mechanics, interesting bonus features, and decent payouts. 

Shall we check what it is all about? 

What About the Theme and Symbols?

Rain Balls uses a classic Irish theme. The grid is set inside of a retro land-based machine and surrounded by a lot of greenery. Rainbows, clovers, green hats, pipes, and golden horseshoes represent regular paying symbols. 

Also, there’s a colorful wild symbol which will replace all standard symbols and help you form more winning combos. 

Finally, thanks to HTML5 technology, you’ll be able to spin these lucky reels across all platforms and even on your mobile devices. 

Shall We Check the Betting Options and Available Features? 

As we already stated, this one-armed bandit uses a common 5x3 grid. As is the case with most Skywind’s titles, the maximum win stands at 500x the bet. 

Also, we should mention that the theoretical return to player (RTP) hasn’t been announced yet, but we expect it to be around the current industry’ average. 

What exactly did we mean when we said that this release comes with a unique feature triggering mechanic? 

Well, at the bottom of the ‘machine’, you’ll see 4 golden pots (free games, rainbow wilds, lucky wheel, or extra balls). Whenever you land a shiny ball in the grid’s center, it will fall on the pinboard beneath the reels and land in one of the mentioned pots and trigger one of the following features:

Rainbow Wilds – In addition to their regular substituting role, Wilds can cover the reels and award some multipliers as well. 

Free Games – Fill the ‘free games’ pot with 3 balls, and you’ll get 14 spins free of charge. The good news is that each additional ball will grant extra 2 free spins. 

Lucky Wheel – Spin the wheel to win multipliers or the Grand Prize worth 500x the bet. 

Extra Balls – You’ll trigger this feature by filling the ‘extra balls’ pot and the game will release 8 additional balls which will drastically increase your chances of triggering bonus features. 

Let’s See What Lies In a Nutshell, Shall We? 

Rain Balls may not be the most rewarding video slot ever, but its design, unique mechanics and the long list of available features will certainly delight every casual punter out there. 

The main goal is to land as many metal balls in the grid’s center to activate expanding wilds with multipliers, retriggerable free spins, Lucky Wheel, or even more balls.
