Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is Irish luck or fortune. In Ireland, fortune and luck are significant concepts. Many people believe in lucky charms and superstitions and often associate good fortune with certain objects or symbols. For example, a four-leaf clover is considered to be a lucky charm, and people often wear it as a symbol of good luck. The number seven is also considered to be lucky in Ireland and is often seen in Irish folklore and literature as an important number. Players will also no doubt of heard of the myth of the Leprechaun. It is said if you capture a Leprechaun in Ireland, he will lead you to a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

The background for this game is a depiction of a fantasy land in which Leprechauns live. From what we can see, though, this village looks to have been heavily influenced by Hobbiton and the Shire, made famous in Lord of The Rings and the Hobbit, written by J.R.R Tolkien. Above the dwellings set into the hillsides is a beautiful meadow crowned with a sparkling rainbow. The whole scene is one of bucolic fantasy charm and provides a calming yet novel setting for a game such as this.

The playing board is a wooden board with golden details, hinting at the pot of gold that can be won here.

The symbols are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying icons are the 10, J, Q, K and A in playing card royals. The A is the most valuable of these, worth 1.2x the stake for the top combination. On the other hand, the more valuable symbols are the Guinness mug, the green hat, the harp, the golden horseshoe and the Leprechaun. The Leprechaun is the most valuable of these, worth 8x the stake for the top combination. The specials for this game are the pot of gold scatter and the four-leafed clover wilds.

Features

The first feature in this game, which is common in many slot games, is the wild bonus. The wild in this game is the four-leafed clover. This symbol can substitute for any other symbol on the board, barring the scatter to help players score more wins.

However, the main feature in this game is the free spins game, triggered when players land three or more of the scatter symbols in the base game. When this happens, players are given unlimited free spins, in theory. However, free spins only last until the player has landed seven pints of Guinness. After this has happened, a payout will be calculated, and the slot will return you to the base game.

Adding to the excitement of this feature is the fact that this bonus also comes with a multiplier modifier. At the start of the free spins, the player is given a 1x multiplier. Yet, for every spin that takes place, the multiplier grows by 1x, with a potentially endless range. This helps players create much higher payouts.

Conclusion

Simple, fun and easy to follow, this game will provide a steady and rewarding gaming experience for players of all types. Win potential-wise, things are pretty good, too - the max win is enticing, and the RTP is promising too. However, like many games, this one has high volatility, which makes things difficult to predict.
