ABOUT

Irish Eyes is one of NextGen Gaming’s biggest success stories to-date, and despite the plethora of Irish-themed online slots that now exist, players frequently cite Irish Eyes as their favourite.

Many believe the green-eyed woman who plays the role of the scatter symbol to be Lady Luck, and she’s certainly turned many players’ fortunes around when she’s triggered the slot’s Free Games Feature. But, it’s the leprechaun symbol that’s really the star of the show as he can perform wild substitutions, unlock the Pick Me Bonus, and present you with a payout worth an astonishing ten thousand times your bet!

WHY WE LOVE IT

There’s something rather magical and almost romantic about the Emerald Isle, which is why so many of us love to play Irish-themed slots. Although the graphics in Irish Eyes aren’t as sharp and detailed as the game’s sequel (N.B., Irish Eyes 2), the game still manages to capture the imagination with its whimsical portrayal of leprechauns, shamrocks, rainbows, and pots of gold.

For an online slot that dates back to 2010, it’s surprising and welcoming to see two special features rather than just one. And, as it only takes two leprechauns to trigger the Pick Me Bonus, it shouldn’t take too long to coax the little man in green out of his hiding hole to let you put your hand in his pot of gold.

HOW TO PLAY IRISH EYES

• Click the +/- buttons next to Lines to choose how many paylines you wish to play with (N.B., you must choose an amount between 1 and 25).
• Choose your line bet from the following options: 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 1.00, 2.00 or 5.00.
• Click the Info button at the bottom-left of the game screen to view how much the symbols can pay out or to view the rules.
• Click Auto Spin to let the game automatically spin the reels 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250 or 500 times.

WILD SYMBOL

So, the Leprechaun who represents the wild symbol might look a tad mean-spirited, but this pint-sized fellow can lead you all the way to the end of the rainbow where he’s hidden his pot of gold. Depending on how many wild symbols are used in the winning combination, you can expect to be reeling off to the bank with between two and ten thousand times your total bet!

The Leprechaun can replace any symbol except the scatter. So, he can also create winning combos that feature other paytable symbols like the playing card symbols, the yellow brick road, and the pot of gold.

SCATTER SYMBOL

The name, Irish Eyes, comes from the green-eyed, red-haired beauty who acts as the game’s scatter symbol, and she awards scatter wins of up to one hundred times your bet when she lands two or more times from left-to-right across the screen.

FREE GAMES FEATURE

Three or more of the aforementioned scatter symbol invites you to play the Free Games Feature where you get twelve free spins with all prizes tripled. You can retrigger the feature with extra scatters, so with a bit of luck, those Irish Eyes will have you smiling all the way to the bank!.

PICK ME BONUS

Although the Leprechaun is the wild symbol, he also has the potential to initiate the Pick and Win Feature. This feature is just as easy as it sounds, and to unlock it, you simply need to get the Leprechaun anywhere on the first and second reel of the same spin. Pick one of the two leprechauns to pocket up to one hundred times your bet. And, if you’re particularly fortunate, the symbol that you select will award you a second pick.
