7 Clovers of Fortune (Pragmatic Play) Slot Demo & Review

I’ve never believed in luck, really, even if I may use the word to in certain circumstances, after all, things just happen; there isn’t luck involved. Was I unlucky when I stubbed my toe this morning, or was I still half asleep and not looking where I was going? Was my football team lucky to win, or did they just manage to score the chances they had rather than spurn them like the opposition? It’s the same when playing slots, there isn’t luck, just an RNG and mathematics that determine whether you win or lose. No amount of playing lucky-themed slots, such as 7 Clovers of Fortune, Microgaming’s Fishin’ Pots of Gold, or Super Rainbow Megaways from 1×2 Gaming, will change that. 

Right, rant over. Let’s see what the payouts are on the reels of 7 Clovers of Fortune, should you get lucky to hit them, of course. The Leprechaun tops the charts with a 4x the stake return for five symbols across a payline, while the Horseshoe is next up with a top payout of 2x, and the Mug of Beer and Mushrooms both return up to 1x. The Ace delivers the best rewards of the low-value symbols, with 0.8x up for grabs for five in a row, while the King and Queen can reward up to 0.6x. The Ten and Jack round things off by paying up to 0.4x. 

Before you hit that spin button and get the game underway, you’ll first need to choose a stake size. These range from a minimum of €0.25 up to a maximum of €250.00, with there being 40 staking options in total, which should ensure you all can find a bet size comparable to your bankroll.

On 7 Clovers of Fortune, a 6×5 reel matrix is in operation, but the rightmost reel only holds prizes, not regular symbols. Furthermore, the middle reel only has three regular reel positions, and special symbols will land on the top and bottom positions. 

Therefore, the 1,875 pay lines are found across the first five reels (except those positions on the third reel) and their five rows. For the most part, winning combinations are created when three or more matching symbols land across a payline from left to right. However, there is an exception, the Leprechaun, which requires two or more symbols to form a win.

Connect & Collect Mechanic

Connect and Collect symbols can appear in any of the regular positions on the reels. While many are blank, others can contain cash values between 0.4x and 50x the stake. You’re paid the values of any Cash & Collect symbol that lands on the first reel, while you’ll also get paid the values of any symbols connected horizontally or vertically in a chain starting from that reel. 

Furthermore, if that chain reaches one of the special positions on the third or sixth reels, you also receive the reward from within those positions:

• Re-Spins (Only on special positions on reel 3): If these are reached, you receive 5 re-spins. The triggering Connect & Collect symbols are locked to the reels, and the remaining positions are spun. Any new instances of Connect & Collect also remain sticky, and once the re-spins are finished, you receive the payouts for any connections made. 
• Cash Values: Awards a cash value of between 2x and 160x the stake. 
• Add Wilds: This adds a random number of wild symbols to reels 2 to 5. 
• Free Spins: You receive a 2x the stake reward and trigger the free spins bonus. 
• Minor, Major, and Grand Jackpots: Depending on the Jackpot symbol, you’re rewarded the Grand (4,000x), Major (100x), or Minor (20x) fixed jackpots.

Random Rewards

There are also rewards that can trigger randomly at the end of any base game spin:

• Grand Jackpot: You’re rewarded with the 4,000x the stake Grand Jackpot.
• Added Wilds: Wild symbols are added to random positions on the reels. 
• Connect & Collect: A random number of Connect & Collect symbols are added to the reels.

As explained above, you can trigger the free spins bonus on 7 Clovers of Fortune via the Connect & Collect feature. Doing so will award the number on the special free spins symbol of 7, 10, 15, 20, or 25. It’s also possible to trigger the free spins bonus by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols anywhere in view to receive 7, 10, or 15 spins, respectively.

Free Spins Feature

There isn’t anything different about the free spins bonus when compared to regular spins. They’re just free. You will, however, receive additional free whenever chains of Connect & Collect symbols connect to a free spins symbol in one of the reel’s special positions. 

Bonus Buy

For 100x the current stake, you can spin with the guarantee of a Connect & Collect chain at least reaching one of the special symbols on both the third and the sixth reels, to trigger the free spins bonus.
