How To Play Lucky Leprechaun Mobile Slot
You’ll find something wonderfully familiar about the Lucky Leprechaun mobile slot. Yes you’ve seen this before, but it’s still got it’s own unique Microgaming twist.
A 5 reel, 20 payline game created by Microgaming the Lucky Leprechaun slot combines Wilds, Click Me Trails, and Free Spins for up to a max win of 1,000x your total bet.
There’s one Irish themed slot machine that’s so very incredibly popular, it beats all others. That would be the Rainbow Riches slot of course, found in pubs all over the world.
Playtech made their own version, namely the well done Plenty O’Fortune slot game. And so it would only be logical that Microgaming would do their very own version, free spins and gold trail included.
Lucky Leprechaun slot stacked wilds & free spins
With Guinness, pipes, clover leaf and ace to 10 symbols drawn with a Celtic design, this is truly as Irish as it gets.
But let’s be honest, we’re not playing this video slot in order to start Irish dancing to the sweet little tunes, we’re playing because this is a Rainbow Riches copy.
Yet the Lucky Leprechaun slot already has two things that Rainbow Riches didn’t. For one, you get stacked wild symbols, which provide some good opportunities to get a few good wins during the base game.
For two you get free spins. And unusual ones at that.
Start with 5 free spins, build up to more
All you need is one bonus symbol on reel 5 and you’ll get 5 free spins and a 2x multiplier. However every time a little green clover shows up on one of the reels, you’ll get an extra free spin.
Meaning you’ll end up, usually, with at least 8 to 10 free spins. Sometimes you’ll get a gold clover and you’ll get an extra multiplier (up to 5x).
That’s less likely, mostly you’ll stay at 2x, maybe sometimes 3x multiplier.
What brings the great big wins is the stacked wilds and the fact that the highest paying symbol also turns wild. One of the great Microgaming slot games twist.
Yes there is also a gold trail
But, we have to admit, because of the large wins you can get on the slots free spin games, it’s not as enticing as in Rainbow Riches.
Oh there’s a gold pot at the end, which can pay up to 1,000 times your bet if you trigger it with 5 bonus symbols, but it never feels as close as when you play with these free spins and you get a little lucky clover here and there.
Still, either bonus feature will allow you to walk away with at least 30 times your bet, and both hide their own pot of gold. Just budget carefully for a good 200 spins, as this Lucky Leprechaun slot game can be as unforgiving as the morning after a Guinness binge.
But if you’re willing to dance with the leprechaun in order to follow that rainbow… sometimes the occasional headache is worthwhile, all for the hope of catching that golden pot.
