Rainbow Dice Pokie Machine
While many online casino game developers like to fill their pokies with pictures of fruit or playing card symbols, EGT seem to specialise in colourful dice, and they don’t brighter than the Rainbow Dice video pokie that sees bright yellow, red, pink and green dice, all against green leaves, flowers and fields.
It’s not that clear why EGT have mixed dice and horticulture in a single game, but it looks very nice, so it’s unlikely to worry players too much. A sunny field sits behind the reels and above them are the 4 progressive jackpots that are featured in all EGT pokies, while to the sides are the payline indicators that highlight how many of the 30 lines players have activated.
Control buttons below the reels give them the option to play 1, 5, 10, 20 or all 30 lines, so to get them all activated, the low limit bet is 0.30 per spin. Rainbow Dice has wild and scatter symbols to trigger bonus features, but apart from these, players will be wanting to see 3 or more of the same dice symbols landing on an active line, in an unbroken sequence from the left side to get a win. Free Rainbow Dice video pokies are offered at most casinos if they just want to test the game out before they play for real money.
Playing Rainbow Dice
Light blue, pink, green and red dice are all worth the same, returning prizes equal to 5x the line bet when stopping on 3 reels, while 4 or 5 across a line are worth 20x or 100x. The dark blue dice pays from 10 to 125x the line bet, while the yellow dice is worth 20, 100 or 300x. The high-paying dice symbols have numbers on them, starting with the 7, that pays out 30, 125 and 400x, the 8 is valued at between 40 and 750x and the top rewards come from the number 9 dice that’s worth 50, 300 or 1000x the line bet when it lands on 3, 4 or 5 reels.
The wild dice symbol has a cartoon of a Chinese lady on it, which probably has some significance, but we’re not entirely sure what it is. However, she appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and can act as all but the scatter if she can complete winning combinations, or extend a run of 3 symbols across an extra reel for a bigger payout.
The Rainbow Dice scatter symbol is restricted to reels 2, 3 and 4, but pays out 60x the bet when it appears in any 3 positions on them, after which it takes players to a unique free spins bonus round.

Free Spins
An initial 20 bonus games are awarded, which seems pretty generous on its own, but there is a special lucky clover symbol in play that can land on reel 5, acting as another wild and also adding a clover to a dice symbol underneath the reels.
Once all 3 of the dice below the reels has clovers on them, the corresponding symbol on the reels will become an extra wild for any remaining free spins. The bonus games can be retriggered, over and over again, to a maximum of 300 spins in total, but getting anywhere near this number is going to be highly unusual.
Other Features
Wins of less than 1050 coins can potentially be doubled several times over in the optional gamble game. It’s a 50/50 gamble that pays off if players correctly time a click on red or black buttons to match the colour of a playing card that flashes between the colours, but loses the triggering bet if the timing is wrong.
Although a successful gamble gives the player a further option to try and double the win again, these games can be difficult to win and should be treated as a fun option rather than a way to seriously boost winnings.
If the Jackpot Cards round is awarded, players will see 12 playing cards lined up and by clicking on them in any order, the suits are revealed. Once 3 of a kind have been found, the relevant jackpot is awarded, and while they range in value, players are guaranteed to win one of them.
The Verdict
This attractive online pokie game may have some fairly standard symbols on the reels, but the free spins clover feature is quite unique and makes it stand out from other EGT pokies that look very similar. 20 bonus spins is quite a generous number, so even if it turns out to not be enough to get an extra wild in play, there should still be a few wins awarded before they come to an end.
