My favorite new game but you need a bankroll....not a game for those with a heart condition,lol....this is a game that I really consider high variance with a much better chance of more frequent big hits than those other new high variance slots that are really in vogue at another casino most love...Scary Rich will throw your bigger bones more frequently after being very frustrating (numerous sets of free spins that paid less than bet size including several goose eggs but you never know what that next set or even frequent set after set of free spins has in store like 700,1200,etc. times bet)...your time will be here soon!! GL
i agree with nash 100%. this is my impression of this game:
a very high variance slot that is very well balanced over the LONG term. Intermittant streaks of frustrating play mixed in with some extremely exciting wins that are not as uncommon as you would think. I tend to have very enjoyable sessions when my bankroll is about 500-700x my bet size, win or lose. Bonuses of 300-500x bet are not uncommon but you do need the bankroll to tolerate the streaks. I've been playing A LOT and have had my share of 600x bet or more. My best guess is that bonuses occur at roughly 1 in 120 spins, but streaks of 300-500 occur occasionally as well as 4 or 5 bonuses within 50 spins. (some bonuses suck soooo bad sometimes, lol)
As nash pointed out, there seems to be different types of "high variance" and scary rich seems to be one type that is much more tolerable / enjoyable and well balanced.
I've played at many rivals for the sign-up bonuses, got many great screenshots, lost a bunch at times.... and i'm still happily up over the last 2-3weeks with hours and hours of marathon playtime. Probably the best gaming value i've had in a long, long time.
The only downside for me is waiting for my cashouts via ach. i decided i won't deposit again until i receive my winnings so i won't be playing again for another 2-3 weeks. (incentive for rival to improve their cashout times

)
In summary, IMHO, a very fun and well thought out game. Don't worry sellshort... i'm sure you'll see what i mean when you hit the three wilds during the bonus (hopefully with matching "good" symbols on the 4th and 5th reels!) Good luck to you!!!
