The Lucky Leprechaun slot features a well-known theme of trying to get a taste of the famed Luck of the Irish and finding the coveted pot of gold hidden at the end of the rainbow. Rainbow Riches is by far the most popular game of this genre around today and it can be played across the world in different bars and pubs, as well as through online platforms.
Similarities to Competitors
IGT developed the Rainbow Riches game while Playtech did something similar with their Plenty O’Fortune slot game. Microgaming, as one of the leading game developers, naturally came up with their own title featuring similar theme in their Lucky Leprechaun slot.
This game has a traditional Celtic design to it, with pipes, Guinness and clover leafs all integrated nicely. You don’t get more Irish than this.
Since the game is quite similar to Rainbow Riches, it is not the gameplay that makes it attractive as much as big bonuses you stand to win if you get lucky.
What Makes Lucky Leprechaun Different
The main points of differentiation that Lucky Leprechaun has from its competitors are twofold. You are able to get a stacked wild symbol, which allows you to build up the wins in the base game. Free spins are the second highly entertaining feature.
You only need to hit one bonus symbol on the 5th reel to get 5 free spins that have a x2 multiplier. Each time you see a green clover you will even get an additional free spin.
This means that a lot of the time you will be getting in or around 9 free spins. There are also other symbols like the gold clover that give you even greater multipliers.
The large wins come about as a result of stacked wilds, as well as the higher paying symbols turning wild. This is a great twist to the game.
The gift-collecting mechanic in Snow Rider 3D is genius.
