Leprechaun Riches Slot (PG Soft) Slot Demo & Review

It is pretty remarkable how many Irish-themed slots are on the market. What’s even more extraordinary is that game providers continue to create them. So, from that, we have to assume players still have an appetite for spinning the reels on all things related to The Land of Saints and Scholars. Where did this fascination begin, though? Arguably, the most famous slot with a leprechaun attached to it must be SG Gaming’s iconic Rainbow Riches. That game is, of course, now some 20 years old, so it makes sense that newer slots have been developed. But do we need so many? Maybe we do. Anyway, let’s get stuck into Leprechaun Riches and see what it offers.

What better place to start than the pays section, where at the top of the pile is the Leprechaun’s Hat paying 8x for a six of a kind win. Next is the Four-Leafed Clover, worth 5x for a full line of six, followed by the Pipe at 4x. Completing the higher value symbols are the Horseshoe worth 3x and the Handle of Beer and Bread, both of which pay 1.5x for a six of a kind win. Continuing to the low pays, we have five royal symbols with the Ace, King and Queen all returning equal payouts of 4x for a winning combo of six, whilst the Jack and Ten both pay 1x for a six of a kind hit. The game includes a wild symbol represented by the Leprechaun. When this appears, it will substitute for all other regular symbols.

Generally speaking, the bet range across all PG Soft games is very fair, and in Leprechaun Riches, you can start playing from €0.20 a spin, with the stakes finally maxing out when you reach €20.

Leprechaun Riches is played on a 6×6 reel format, where the number of symbols on each reel will differ on every spin. So, in essence, it is very similar to a Megaways slot. This means that the outcome of each game will award a different amount of paylines, with the range being anywhere from 576 up to a maximum of 46,656. If you can land three matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel first, the corresponding win will be credited to your balance.

Cascading Reels

A winning combination across the reel set will activate the cascading reel mechanic. This will eliminate the winning symbols from the reels before new ones drop down to fill the spaces left behind. It’s possible for multiple cascades and win reactions to occur, with this finally coming to an end when you fail to make a new win.

Wilds On The Way Feature

During any game spin, symbols ( excluding wilds and scatters ) on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 may have a silver frame around them. If these are part of a win, they will transform into a random symbol from the paytable and have a golden frame around them. If this symbol forms part of a win, it will transform into a wild of between 2-4 symbols, depending on the number of spaces the golden framed symbol occupies.

The bonus round is triggered on the Leprechaun Riches slot when 4 scatter symbols land in view. This will award 15 free spins, with each additional scatter that lands after adding two more to your starting total. Players will begin the feature with a win multiplier of x1.

Free Spins

Once the bonus round is underway, you will want to hit as many winning reactions as possible. This is because, with each successful cascade you achieve, the win multiplier will increment by a further x1. In addition, the free spins can be re-triggered through the scatter symbols again, landing in view.
