High Noon Riches

High Noon Riches Overview

High Noon Riches – full title High Noon Riches: Hold and Win – is a western slot from Popiplay, released on 18 March 2026. A lone gunslinger with a rifle watches over the reels from the right, the jackpot plaque hangs above him, and a desert town fades into the dusk behind the wooden frame. The grid is 5x3 with 25 paylines. The game’s rules give a theoretical RTP of 96.14% and a maximum win of 5,624x the bet; SlotCatalog rates the volatility high. Stakes run from 0.10 to 40.

The Paytable

At a 1.00 stake the paytable shows five, four and three of a kind:

• Gold bars: 20.00 / 4.00 / 1.00 – 20x, 4x and 1x the bet
• Crossed pistols: 8.00 / 2.00 / 0.60
• Cowboy boots: 6.00 / 1.60 / 0.40
• Oil lantern: 5.00 / 1.20 / 0.40
• A, K, Q and J: 2.00 / 0.40 / 0.20

The Wild is the gunslinger himself. It substitutes for every symbol except the Scatter, the Coin, the Collector and the +1 Spin symbol.

How the Lines Pay

The rules are the standard ones, but worth knowing on a 25-line game. Wins are formed by identical symbols, or symbols plus Wilds, on an active payline following the preset patterns; only the highest win on each line is paid, and wins on different lines are added together. Free spins use the same bet and lines as the spin that triggered them. With four card symbols paying only 0.2x for three, most base-game spins that pay at all return less than the stake – the premium symbols and the features carry the game.

Two Ways Into the Bonus

High Noon Riches has two separate features, and the buy screen shows both side by side. At a 1.00 stake:

• Free Spins: 50.00 – 50x the bet, “10 spins with only high-paying symbols”
• Hold & Win: 40.00 – 40x the bet, “6+ respins with instant prizes”

Both can also be triggered naturally, and the Hold & Win can even be triggered from inside the free spins.

The Free Spins: High Noon Showdown

The Scatter is a burning “FS” sign that appears on reels 1, 3 and 5. Three of them award 10 free spins, and three more during the round add another 10. In the free spins the card symbols disappear – only the gold bars, pistols, boots and lanterns remain, together with the Wild.

Our Free Spins Round

We bought the free spins for 50.00, and the balance dropped from 1,000.00 to 950.00. The screenshots follow the round:

• Spin 3 of 10: a line of five lanterns with a Wild on the second reel – the lantern’s top value, 5.00 – as part of a 5.40 spin. The total stood at 7.20.
• Spin 6 of 10: three gold bars completed by a Wild, 2.00 for the spin, total 10.00.
• Spin 10 of 10: three Wilds on the reels and 3.80 across several lines.

The round ended at 15.80, and the balance confirms it: 950.00 plus 15.80 is exactly the 965.80 shown. That is 15.8x against a 50x price – a reminder that a bought feature guarantees the round, not a profit. The five-gold-bar line at 20x and the Hold & Win are what the free spins are really hunting for.

Coins, Collector and +1 Spin

The gold sheriff’s-star Coins carry values of 1x to 20x the bet (1x, 2x, 3x up to 10x, then 12x, 14x, 16x, 18x and 20x). They pay only inside the Hold & Win, but six or more of them – Collectors included – trigger it, in the base game or in the free spins.

Two special symbols join them in the bonus. The Collector gathers all the Coin values on the grid at the moment it lands and turns into a single Coin showing the total. The +1 Spin symbol adds one extra respin; several in the same spin add up.

The Hold & Win and the 5,000x Jackpot

The Hold & Win starts with the triggering Coins locked in place and 6 respins – twice the usual three. Only Coins, Collectors and +1 Spin symbols can land. At the end, all values on the grid are added up. Fill all 15 positions and the game awards the Hold & Win Jackpot worth 5,000x the bet – the 5,000.00 on the plaque at a 1.00 stake. The published maximum of 5,624x sits just above it, so a full grid is essentially the game’s ceiling – one more case where the jackpot itself is the target.

Our base-game trigger came with six Coins worth 1.00, 1.00, 2.00, 1.00, 1.00 and 5.00 – 11x in total. The next screenshot moves into the vault, with gold bars stacked on the shelves: eleven Coins and two +1 Spin symbols on the grid, 2 respins left, and Coin values adding up to 16.00.

Which Buy Makes Sense

The two prices tell you how Popiplay values the features. The Hold & Win is the cheaper ticket at 40x, yet it is the one that holds the 5,000x jackpot – 125 times its own price. The free spins cost more at 50x and do not have a jackpot of their own, but they can lead into the Hold & Win, because six Coins trigger it during the free spins as well. Our free spins round did not get that far: no Hold & Win was triggered, and the round closed on line wins only.

Graphics and Setting

The reels are dark weathered planks framed in old timber. The base game plays at sunset on the edge of a desert town; the free spins move to a railway yard with a steam locomotive under a burning sky; the Hold & Win takes place inside a bank vault. The symbols are drawn with care – worn cowboy boots, blued revolvers, a brass lantern – and the Wild is the gunslinger splashed in red.

Who It Is For

High Noon Riches is for players who like a classic western with two distinct bonuses. The free spins strip the reels down to premium symbols, the Hold & Win runs longer than usual with six respins, and the 5,000x jackpot for a full grid is a clear target. High volatility means long waits are part of the deal. All six casinos we checked carry it. It should not be confused with TaDa Gaming’s High Noon, a different game.
