Slot Review: Three Times the Riches

It’s often said that good things and bad things alike come in multiples of three. Judging from our experience playing the Three Times the Riches online slot machine game, we can now affirm that mediocre things can also be added to the list of things that come in triads. The “Three” of the title has to do with reels. This slot game comes to us from Parlay Entertainment, a lesser-known slot technology provider. A bizarre game layout and dismally repetitive gameplay cast a pall over our opinions that could not be lifted by a substantial jackpot.

Three Times the Riches is a three-reel, five-payline slot game. Had there been three paylines, we might have understood the title a bit better. Coin values range from five cents to five dollars, with max coins set at five. The highest wager is twenty-five dollars. The jackpot is ten thousand coins, or fifty thousand dollars given a maxed-out bet.

The game logo is the jackpot symbol (as well as the wild symbol and multiplier), with blue and green icons of the number seven sharing reel space with single, double, and triple BAR pictures and cherries. We didn’t understand why the reels (the most important part of an online slot game!) took up less than one quarter of the screen, with the pay table being unnecessarily huge and the outsized logo occupying key real estate. It’s our opinion that shoddy game design is an unpardonable sin – one that Parlay has committed unabashedly with this title.
