Lucky Leprechaun Slot Game Review: Play Free Demo Here

There are two Lucky Leprechaun bonus rounds for players to enjoy, and both are triggered by a different scatter symbol.

The first is the Free Spins Round, which is activated by the shamrock/four-leaf clover when it lands on reel five, and provides five free spins at 2x multiplier. During your free spins, the leprechaun symbol becomes wild, while clover symbols can attach to card symbols A, K, Q, J and 10.

An attached green clover means you’ll get an extra free spin, while a golden clover adds a 1x multiplier up to a max of 5x. Note that free spins cannot be re-triggered.

The second bonus round is the Trail O’ Fortune, which is actually a bonus game. This is actioned when three or more of the ‘pot of gold’ bonus scatter symbol appear across the reels. Players must then spin the wheel to find out how many spaces to move as they make their way across ‘rainbow’ bridges towards a pot of gold at the end of a boardgame-style trail. Along the way, you’ll uncover prizes and, should you find an emerald, you’ll gain an extra wheel spin.

How far you go mostly depends on how many bonuses you initially hit to trigger the round, with a 1000x multiplier the ultimate treasure at the end of the rainbow. Note that this bonus feature cannot be triggered during free spins.

Set on the Emerald Isle (Ireland) with its unmistakable lush green landscape, a grinning leprechaun clutching a pot overflowing with gold coins welcomes you to the game, against an intro screen decorated with a rainbow. The Microgaming title sticks to its Ireland and ‘lucky leprechaun’ theme unabashedly and wheels out every cliche in the book about Irish culture that it can during gameplay.

Gamers will spin the reels and hope to land symbols including leprechauns, shamrocks/four-leaf clovers, pints of Guinness, fiddles, pipes, pots of gold and card symbols with Celtic design, all while listening to an upbeat soundtrack of traditional string music that turns into an Irish jig-style tune when you trigger a payline.

The Trail O’Fortune continues the fun theme into the bonus game too, as players collect bonus prizes as they make their way towards, of course, that pot at the end of the rainbow. So, while there’s not much to the basic gameplay, it’s certainly an entertaining and attractive slot, with the theme and a quirky bonus game as its main selling points.
