Stinkin’ Rich Slot Review
A skunk in a top hat sits on a throne of gold coins, banknotes spilling around him, drawn in thick comic outline against hot-pink walls. He’s the honest face of a slot that gets away with doing almost nothing in its base game, because everything it has went into one free spins ladder that can run longer than the patience of most players. That’s the whole wager here: sit through the lean reels, or don’t.
The game runs 100 paylines across an unusual 5-5-3-5-5 grid, the outer reels standing taller than the middle three. IGT‘s version sits alongside sturdy stablemates like Cleopatra and Rainbow Riches: line-based games built on familiar maths. Whether the skunk’s scent is money or something less fragrant depends on how much you enjoy picking through the trash.
Base Game & Features
The grid is the first thing you notice. Five reels, but the outer two carry five symbol positions each while the middle three carry only three, which is what allows 100 lines to fit on a layout this compact. It gives the reels a columned, doorway shape that suits the vault framing.
Wins pay left to right on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost one. Only the highest win counts on each line, so stacked combinations don’t stack up in payment. There’s no wild symbol in this game, which is unusual for a 100-line format and puts the weight squarely on the two bonus triggers.
- Grid: 5-5-3-5-5, with taller outer reels
- Paylines: 100, all fixed into play
- Wins pay left to right on consecutive reels from the leftmost
- Only the highest win is paid on each payline
- No wild symbol
- Scatter (skunk mascot) alongside two bonus trigger symbols
Because every line is always in play, a spin is a single total bet spread across all 100 of them rather than a chosen number of active lines. That shapes the whole game: winning combinations can land high, low or zigzag through the tall outer reels, and the on-screen counter confirms each round’s result rather than leaving you to trace lines yourself.
That skunk scatter is the game’s mascot and turns up on the reels wearing its label proudly, flanked by banner messages like “The Nose Knows!” and “Follow Your Nose!” between spins. It’s all presented in a flat, hand-drawn cartoon style, hot pink and violet, more Saturday morning than modern premium slot.
Two symbols matter more than anything else on the reels. The Keys To Riches symbol is a payline trigger, so it has to land on an active line to count. The Trash For Cash symbol is looser: three of them anywhere in view will do. Both are drawn large and unmistakable, which is just as well given nothing else in the base game moves the needle.
No paytable values are published for this build, so there’s nothing sensible to say about individual symbol pays. The bet levels live in a simple plus-and-minus ladder with autoplay and a turbo mode alongside, and autoplay stops on its own when the spin count runs out or the balance can’t cover the next wager. Territory rules can hide either option.
The overall feel is a straight cabinet port rather than a rebuilt online edition. That’s not a criticism so much as a fact of what’s on screen: no animated intro, no layered feature webs, just reels, lines and two ways off them.
Stinkin’ Rich Bonus Features
Keys To Riches Bonus
Three Keys To Riches symbols on a payline starts the free spins. The award begins at up to 35 free spins, and the mechanic rewards multi-line triggers: each additional payline carrying three keys adds five extra spins. On a 100-line game, that’s a genuinely generous ladder when the symbols land well.
- Trigger: 3 Keys To Riches symbols on a payline
- Base award: up to 35 free spins
- Extra paylines: 5 additional spins per triggering line
- Round cap: 325 free spins in total
- Played on all 100 lines at the triggering total bet
- Different reel set used during free spins
- Round ends at 0 spins remaining or the 325-spin cap
The free spins run on a different reel set from the base game, so the symbol behaviour you’ve watched for a hundred spins doesn’t necessarily carry over. The round also keeps the triggering total bet locked across all 100 lines, so every free spin is a full-price spin you didn’t pay for.
The round runs itself out rather than ending on a single headline moment. Spins count down one at a time, additional triggering paylines can stack the starting award higher, and nothing stops the sequence early except the count reaching zero or hitting the 325-spin cap. It’s a bonus built for duration, not for one dramatic resolution.
That 325-spin ceiling is the number that gives this game its character. It’s a slot built to hand out marathon sessions rather than one dramatic moment, and the multi-line trigger ladder is the only mechanism pushing you towards it.
Trash For Cash Bonus
Three Trash For Cash symbols in any position on the reels opens the pick bonus. As the name suggests, you’re handed a row of trash cans and asked to choose one, with a prize hiding behind each lid. It’s a simple single-pick format, closer to a scratchcard beat than a multi-stage game.
- Trigger: 3 Trash For Cash symbols anywhere in view
- Format: pick one trash can from the row
- Each can hides a prize
- One pick ends the bonus
The any-position trigger is the friendlier of the two entry requirements, since it ignores paylines entirely. What each can contains isn’t disclosed in advance, so the pick is pure blind luck with a bit of cartoon ceremony attached. Once the lid comes off, the prize is banked and the reels resume; there’s no second stage and no way to parley a good pick into a bigger one.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
Most of a session on Stinkin’ Rich is a waiting game, and the one reason to sit through it is the free spins ladder, where a wide trigger keeps stacking five more spins on top of the last five. When the keys land generously, the round can simply keep going, and that’s an experience almost nothing else on the casino floor still offers.
The weakness is everything around it. With no wild and a pick bonus that ends after one blind choice, the gaps between features are long and undecorated, in art that was dated a decade ago. But the strength is real: a 325-spin ceiling on a 100-line game means one good trigger can turn into an afternoon.
If you like your slots patient, line-based and a bit fusty, the skunk has plenty to share. Anyone who needs wilds, cascades or slick production to stay awake will find the vault empty long before the coins are.
