Themed around Irish luck and treasures, Lucky Leprechauns Loot is one of Microgaming’s slot machines. It’s hardly an original theme, as this developer alone has a couple of them to offer, not to mention all the other slot creators which have used the same idea in the past. The game went for a bit of a 3D/realistic look, though still cartoon like, so it tends to look a bit weird as a result. Still, it makes up for the issues with the design in other ways.
A game with the standard 5 reels, but with a high number of paylines, 50 of them available, Lucky Leprechauns Loot also manages to scrounge up some pretty good top payouts, of up to $25,000. The features will give you free spins, multipliers, scatter symbols and wilds.
Features of Lucky Leprechauns Loot
A couple of normal features were introduced in this game, among them being a wild that applies multipliers when it does its job, or a scatter symbol that both gives you prizes and free spins.
The Gold Clover symbol is the one to act as the wild feature in Lucky Leprechauns Loot. Whenever it makes an appearance, it will try and substitute for other symbols, as long as it’s on the same payline as them and there are already a couple of matching symbols there. When it is in the right position, it will apply a 2x multiplier as well to the wins it contributes to. This symbol does not offer its own prizes, so its substitution ability is the only one that will be of use to you.
The Leprechaun is another important part of the game, as it can not only activate the free spins, but it will also give you some very good prizes. Between 2 and 5 Leprechauns, when scattered on the reels, will pay you between 2x and 500x the bet.
Free Games Feature
There are also some very interesting free spins to be won in Lucky Leprechauns Loot, in addition to the cash prizes. The requirement is standard for free spins, a minimum of three scattered Leprechauns being needed. You get 15, 20 or 25 spins for free, for 3, 4 or 5 Leprechauns, respectively.
The free spins benefit from 3x multipliers, which triple all regular prizes. If the wild gets involved, he applies his 2x multiplier as well, for a total of 6x.
Once the free games are over, you are presented with three options, and you have to pick one. The first option is to take all your wins and walk away. The second option is to give up the wins, and get a mystery prize instead, which is worth anywhere between 2x and 500x the bet, the value being chosen at random. The third option is to start over with the free spins, giving up the current wins.
Betting options and jackpots
The full betting range of the game is between $0.01 and $50 for each spin. The wager can cover between 1 and 50 paylines, with 1 to 10 coins. You choose whether all the lines are selected or not. The coins have their own values, between $0.01 and $0.10, and you choose how much you want them to be worth. The line bets reach a top value of $1, which brings us to the $50 maximum bet.
The slot will reward players with up to 500x the bet, with the scatter symbol’s help, which means for you a value of up to $25,000.
Design and symbols
The slot’s design is a bit weird, mostly because it tries to inject a dose of realism into the graphics, but it does it with cartoon inspired images, so the result is not quite what they probably wanted to achieve. Still, it’s a decent looking slot machine, with lots of Irish inspired images in it, which means that there is plenty of green and plenty of gold.
Symbols: Clover (wild), Leprechaun (scatter, 500x bet), Pot of gold (1,000x), Wishing Well (750x), Money Pouch (500x), Shoes (250x), Ace (150x), King (150x), Queen (150x), Jack (120x), 10 (120x) and 9 (120x).
Is It Worth Playing?
The scatter symbol and its 500x payout look impressive, but the design isn’t as nice. The features are quite good though, so all things considered I’d at least consider playing it.
You will find Lucky Leprechauns Loot at any online casino which chooses to use software from Microgaming, playable either for free or for real money.
