Launch to Riches - What Is This Slot?
Launch to Riches is a space-themed 5x4 slot game released on 7 May 2026 by Pragmatic Play with 1024 ways to win. The symbols include three types of gem orbs (red, purple, and blue), a telescope, a radar scanner, and the playing card royals. The Wild symbol can substitute for any winning symbols except the COLLECT and Scatter symbols. When a COLLECT symbol is landed, the Rocket Feature will be unlocked, which will reveal a 5x4 asteroid grid. The rockets will fire into the asteroids and reveal money values between 0.5x and 12.5x of the initial bet for each win, or the top row, which reveals BONUS values between 12.5x and 5,000x of the initial bet. There are three types of COLLECT symbols: Regular (1 rocket), Triple (3 rockets), and Super (entire column). Any asteroids that have a Bomb will award prizes for any adjacent asteroids to it. Additionally, if the Bomb lands on an adjacent asteroid to the prizes won, it will unlock any Bombs in that adjacent area. Scatters can be landed on any reels of the game. If three or more Scatters are landed, 10 Free Spins will be awarded on a 5x7 grid which offers the potential for prizes to be won up to 10x the potential prizes of any given spin. During the Free Spins round, players can purchase the feature for 100x or 300x of the initial total bet.
How to Play Launch to Riches
- Step 1: Place your bet
Choose a bet between $0.20 (minimum) and $240 (maximum). If the Ante Bet function is desired, players can select this option to double their chance of landing the Free Spins feature, as the Ante Bet function applies a 30x multiplier to the initial bet. - Step 2: Press the Spin button
Press the spin button to start the reels. Any winning combinations are awarded for any matches of the symbols to the paylines, with only the highest prize awarded per payline. - Step 3: COLLECT symbols trigger the Rocket Feature
Each time a COLLECT symbol is landed, the Rocket Feature will be unlocked with a 5×4 asteroid grid. The rockets will fire into the asteroids to reveal money values or BONUS values. These values are between 0.5x and 12.5x of the initial bet for money prizes or between 12.5x and 5,000x of the initial bet for BONUS values that land in the top row of the asteroids. There are three types of COLLECT symbols that can be landed. For more information on these symbols, please refer to the features of the game listed under feature #25. - Step 4: Free Spins
Should 3 or more Scatter symbols land on the reels, 10 free spins will be awarded. Additionally, when these spins are played, a 5×1 reel set will be used with a 5×7 asteroid grid. When all asteroids in the 5×7 grid are cleared after these spins, a random prize multiplier between 1x and 10x will be awarded. The feature cannot be retriggered once triggered.
Bonus Features
Regular Collect
The Regular Collect symbol will fire one rocket in a straight line at the asteroid directly above it on the 5×4 asteroid grid. The prize value will be either money between 0.5x and 12.5x of the initial bet, or a BONUS value between 12.5x and 5,000x of the initial bet that will appear in the top row of the asteroids.
Triple Collect
The Triple Collect symbol will fire 3 rockets simultaneously that will target any asteroids on the 5×4 asteroid grid. Each rocket will hit one asteroid, leading to three separate prize values being awarded for each spin the symbol lands.
Super Collect
The Super Collect symbol will fire rockets in a straight line up the entire column of the asteroid that the symbol was landed on. Any prizes that are revealed will be random prizes between the money values and BONUS values as described in feature #7. This Collect symbol is the most powerful of the three types of Collect symbols.
Bomb Symbol
If a COLLECT symbol lands in an asteroid that contains a Bomb, that Bomb will award prizes to the adjacent asteroids. Additionally, if the Bomb that was landed on any prize also contains another Bomb in any adjacent areas to the prizes that were won, that adjacent Bomb will also be awarded, triggering any Bombs next to those prizes in the same fashion. Thus, prizes can be awarded for several asteroids in one spin if the Bomb was landed in the appropriate area in the asteroid grid.
