Stylised as “Lucky O’Mega” in the game, the hero of today’s slot is a fictional leprechaun-like character with a suspiciously stereotypical love of golden horseshoes and four-leaf clovers. The presentation is a huge step down from the last GONG Gaming title I looked at – nothing special to see here as far as the backdrop is concerned, although the symbols and paytable are well-drawn. There are 20 paylines, the RTP is fixed at a below-average 94.06%, and the maximum win is a jackpot of 1,130x your stake.
The scatter symbols are used to pay cash prizes rather than any kind of bonus round, but there is a jackpot bonus game and a cash re-spins feature, both of which help break up the action between base game spins.
If you haven’t had enough of leprechauns with Rainbow Riches and its endless stream of sequels, then perhaps you would like to try our free demo slot of Lucky O’Mega below.

Lucky O’ Mega Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Well, I already spoilt any surprises over the theme, didn’t I? Pots of gold, rainbows, short little Irish men in green coats… all of the most popular leprechaun tropes, are in full force! To be honest, I can’t imagine a vast number of players opt to play these slots because of how they look; it’s all about the winnings, the features, and how much fun they are to play. Those are the things which will have you coming back session after session, day after day. Taking on the Rainbow Riches games on their own turf like this is a brave move by GONG Gaming – can they pull something off that will convert a few players over to their cause? I suspect the paytable will be one of the most crucial deciders on this front, so let’s examine that next.
Lucky O’ Mega has three paytables effectively; a jackpot paytable shown to the left of the reels in the main game, a scatter paytable shown to the right of the reels in the main game and a general paytable that is tucked away inside the information pages of the game. Let’s start with the jackpot paytable – 30x, 100x, or 1,000x your stake can be won simply by lining up a row of symbols in the order shown next to each bonus on the left of the reels. As for the scatter paytable, prizes are shown beginning at 1x your stake for three scatters up to 1,000x for a full screen of 15 scatter symbols. I’d love to know what the odds are of a full screen of scatter symbols, but I doubt GONG will be publishing those numbers anytime soon. The main paytable is topped by the four-leaf clover at a return of 15x for five-of-a-kind, followed by the pipe at 10x, the leprechaun hat at 5x, and the lucky horseshoe at 4x.
You’ll need to jump into the menu to change your current wager from a minimum of €0.20 per spin to a maximum of €220.00. You have to assume there is something of a market for placing such huge bets, but even considering wagering that sort of money every couple of seconds feels like complete insanity to me.
Base Game & Modifiers
The base game is pretty much all there is in the Lucky O’Mega online slot, so I hope you enjoy playing this part of the game! The action takes place on a standard 5×3 playfield, with winnings awarded for hitting three or more scatters or any combination of three or more matching symbols on a pay line from left to right.
Scatter Symbols
Most online slots use scatter symbols to trigger the bonus round, but GONG has gone a different way with this game. Every position of the 5×3 playfield spins independently from one another, theoretically enabling you to hit a full screen of scatter symbols if luck permits.
Payouts are awarded for hitting three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the screen and can even be won in addition to regular winning combinations if everything lines up perfectly for you. A maximum hit of 15 scatter symbols awards 1,000x your current stake.
Lucky O’ Mega Slot Cash Respins Feature
If you hit six or more pots of gold on the screen during the base game, you will be taken to a new screen where you’ll be awarded 3 respins, and only monetary pot values and blank symbols can land in view. Hit a cash value, and your respins will be reset to 3. This bonus round will end when the grid is filled, or your respins reach zero.
Jackpot Feature
Jackpots can also be won by hitting a specific symbol combination during the base game. These combinations are shown underneath the amount of each jackpot prize in a paytable shown to the left of the main reel set. Again, I never managed to win any jackpots as I was testing, but I saw these symbols light up before going dark when I began my next paid spin.
Lucky O’ Mega Slot Review Final Thoughts
I wasn’t all that keen on Lucky O’Mega, to begin with, but it has a slightly quirky charm that managed to win me around a little over time. There are so many ways to hit a big win in this game, despite the absence of a major feature, that I felt compelled to keep playing to see if I could score a jackpot while testing. As far as low-to-medium variance online slots go, this is one of the better ones.
