I’ve done two Pragmatic Play slots reviews in a single day, and I’d like to say it is a first, but not where this developer is concerned. Do you know the phrase, ‘You wait so long for a bus, and then two arrive at the same time’? Well, it means nothing here as if Pragmatic Play were a bus, it’d arrive frequently and on time – every single time! Sure, the ride might be bumpy on occasion, but every now and again, you’ll enjoy the smoothest journey towards slot perfection. We’re about to find out which category the prominent software developer’s latest slot release falls under as I’m reviewing the Pot of Fortune slot, a 5-reel, 4-row, and 20-payline slot with a 96% RTP and a 5,000x max win.
I’ll throw this in here now – Pot of Fortune is not your typical Pragmatic slot of recent years, packed full of cascades, wild multipliers, and a free spins bonus with a progressive multiplier. Instead, it is what I’d consider a more laid-back and traditional slot game that keeps things simple (or boring to some). There is a free spins bonus, but it only offers sticky wild symbols for its duration and nothing else. You do have the option of taking bigger risks using the Buy Bonus or Ante Bet feature, but then, I’d rather pay the same money for a better bonus elsewhere.
Have you ever tested whether Irish slot games offer the sort of luck they want you to believe? If not, the Pot of Fortune demo slot below will give you that opportunity.

Pot Of Fortune Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
We’re back in the land of funny green hat-wearing mischievous leprechauns, made up of rolling green hills and rainbows with gold pots at the end of them. Yes, sir, it’s the luck of the Irish theme once again, a theme we’ve seen more times than a politician promising to fix potholes during election season. At least I can see the logic behind why this theme is popular, which is something other than what I can say about Egyptian-themed slots. Some fantastic Irish slots have been released throughout the years, too, starting with SG Gaming’s legendary slot Rainbow Riches, which offers not one, not two, but three bonus rounds. Other notable releases include Luck O’ The Irish Gold Spins from Blueprint Gaming and 9 Pots of Gold Megaways from Gameburger Studios.
Let’s go back to the most recent Irish slot release and what the symbols hold regarding payouts. As fully expected, the Leprechaun offers the best payouts on the reels, although tied with the Wild symbol, which has a payout value as well as stepping into to substitute for other symbols when winning combos are possible – they both offer 125x the stake for a line of five across a payline. Familiar Leprechaun-related symbols come next, with the Leprechaun’s Hat, Pink Pointed Shoes, Mug of Beer, and a Smoking Pipe worth 15x, 10x, 8x, and 6x, for winning combinations of five. Dropping to the lower pays, the Ace returns a solid 5x, the King and Queen share a 3x max payout, and the Jack and Ten both award 2x the bet for a five of a kind win.
There’s a more comprehensive staking range on Pot of Fortune compared to most other Pragmatic Play slots of €0.20 to €300.00, but whether the upper limit will be capped at a smaller amount will depend entirely upon the online casino you are playing at.
Pot Of Fortune Slot Base Game & Modifiers
Pragmatic Play has returned to a more traditional reel configuration for Pot of Fortune, so you’ll not find the cluster pays, scatter pays mechanics or tumble reels. Instead, there are 20-fixed paylines across the 5 reels and 4 rows, and the aim is to land three or more matching symbols across one of them to win a payout.
Ante Bet
For 1.25x your current stake, you can use the Ante Bet feature to spin with a greater chance of triggering the free spins bonus.
Pot Of Fortune Slot Bonus Features
As you can see, the base game is void of much action aside from wild symbols, which perform their role of acting as a joker card to substitute for other symbols needed to complete winning combinations. The question is, is the free spins bonus game worth the wait? In my opinion, no, but some of you may enjoy what Pragmatic Play has lined up for you.
Free Spins Feature
When any combination of the standard wild and the scatter/wild symbol land anywhere in view, you’ll receive 8 free spins. Each of those symbols carries over to the free spins and remains locked in their positions throughout. All other wilds and scatters are removed from the reels for the duration of the bonus game. That’s all you get, folks, although I guess six wilds scattered across the reels for spins still have the potential to help create some decent-sized wins.
Bonus Buy
Pot of Fortune falls into the bonus buy slot category, and players can trigger the free spins instantly at the cost of 100x the current bet.
Pros
- A wide betting range.
- Quality presentation of a much-loved slot theme.
Cons
- The base game is stale, and the bonus game is not much better.
Pot Of Fortune Slot Review Final Thoughts
Pot of Fortune is heavily stripped back by Pragmatic Play’s standards, which might appeal to some who prefer a more traditional approach when playing slots. However, if you’re the type that likes cascade wins, random multipliers, and all the other shebang that Pragmatic Play is renowned for, you’ll probably want to steer clear of this one.
