Irish Luck Slot

Irish Luck Slot Facts

Irish Luck is a five-reel and three-row online and mobile slot game from Playtech with an Irish theme of course. There are plenty of those about, but this game tops the popularity lists in this genre. Welcome to our review!

This medium variance game has thirty pay lines and an RTP of 95%.

The max win is an eye-popping 20,000x your bet. That’s what makes it such a draw I guess. Features include a Bonus Game, Free Spins, Multipliers, Scatters and Wilds and you’ll see plenty of Irish symbols (leprechauns, pots of gold, harps, Celtic designs and clovers). This slot was launched in August 2009 and remains very popular with players.

Intro

If you can’t resist kissing the Blarney Stone or looking for Leprechauns around every blade of grass, or maybe you just can’t resist a pint of the black stuff- then you are probably a fan of Irish-themed slot games like this one.

It has to be admitted there are a few to choose from out there but to make sure that you’re only getting the best of what’s on offer we’ve had a snoop at Playtech’s Irish Luck slot to make sure it’s up to scratch.

So first up, as a slot connoisseur, you’ll know that Playtech are some of the biggest players out there when it comes to creating high-quality games like the Top Gun slot game, but has their classic Irish slot game kept up with the cool kids on the block? Was this the real craic, or was it just a load of Blarney?!

It’s time to head for the green hills of Ireland.

Look and Feel

The game is set in a perfect world of Irish Luck. The sun is shining, the grass is green and Irish Eyes are smiling- and yours could be too if your luck is in.

Not only are the reels set in Ireland’s lush landscape but there are rainbows on top of the reels to help guide you to where that fabled gold lies.

On each side of the reels, the design highlights the games’ thirty pay-lines on offer. Despite the hoard of icons and colours on display, the reels are easy to read and make for a visually appealing game. Even if this isn’t the most modern-looking of games, it does have a classic look that has aged pretty well.

The sounds are perky Irish electronic sounds with the occasional chuckle from a friendly Leprechaun to keep us in the mood.

Irish Luck Game Play

The high-value icons of play are a silver Celtic Claddagh ring and a golden lucky horseshoe, a silver Celtic badge and an Irish Harp (or Cláirseach if you know your terminology), and the mandatory clovers.

The lower value icons of play are the Ace through 9 of the card deck with the higher cards being marginally more valuable – all jazzed up in curling Celtic green script.

Irish Wilds

The game’s Wild is what this game is ALL about. The icon for the Wild is the coy-faced and red-haired Irish lass with the smiling eyes: you’ll see them moving from time to time. She’s the Queen at the centre of this Irish game.

The Wild redhead substitutes for all icons except the Scatter and better still, she can become stacked to make some profitable winning combos if your luck is in.

When this Irish lass is part of a winning combo she comes bringing gifts in the form of doubling your payout.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter is a pile of golden Leprechaun’s coins.

For those slot players who like to play at a steady pace, this is – after all – the quiet and calm rural Ireland that we’re in, then there’s an Auto-start function (not available in the UK). Just hit the button to get the reels moving, kick back and enjoy the Irish scenery.

Pots of Irish Luck and Gold! The Bonus

Irish Luck’s bonus game is activated with 3 Scatters on the reels. Once you’ve triggered the bonus game you will get eight free spins.

What’s more, before those reels have even started moving, you will access a quick picking game to help make those free spins as profitable as possible – you might even get your hands on that pile of gold at the end of the rainbow!

You will head into a new screen with a perfect blue sky and a green field full of sparkling gold. There are five pots of Leprechaun’s gold to choose from, and each one contains a different gift in the form of a multiplier or even additional free spins. Pick two of these and see what extra luck you will bring to your eight free spins- it can be a nifty treasure trove.

Rainbow Reveal

As you pick, a rainbow pops out of the pot to reveal your bonus. Once you’ve picked your two gifts, the contents of the other three pots is revealed.

What is particularly great about the bonus game in the Irish Luck slot is that if you manage to pick the right combo of golden pots, you can give yourself a decent boost with up to thirty-three free spins on offer.

Extra spins aside; there is also the chance for you to head up to a 15x multiplier as well. And because our friends at Playtech were feeling generous, this feature can be re-triggered. You just need to land more Golden Scatters.

Conclusion

In the slot world, there is a long list of Irish-themed games on offer, but many of them are pretty mediocre. Playtech’s Irish Luck is a game that isn’t all bells and whistles but it is graphically easy on the eye: a solid slot game that can hold its head up high.

The bonus game has been designed to be easy to trigger and, better still to re-trigger. With all of those freebie spins, this is a game that can head onto some nice runs. Irish eyes could be smiling at you!

Remember, this is a high-variance game, it´s similar to the Penguin Vacation slot (in gameplay at least). So plan your budget carefully to see you through any dry periods.

This is one of Playtech´s most popular slots after their Great Blue slot and their other games such as their Age of the Gods slots. Sometimes the simple things are the best- this is just a well-designed 30 pay-line 5 reel slot with a decent free spins bonus that you can re-trigger.
