Me foxies are certainly as excited as we are when there's an Irish slot around. The Emerald Isle is embroidered in folk tales of wealth and hidden pots of gold and leprechauns that can guide you to it over the rainbow. That's the premise of nearly all Irish-themed slots, and yet they're still fun. It's even more entertaining when a studio such as Microgaming joins in on the fun. It's now the legendary slot 9 Pots of Gold that takes the Irish theme a step further, introducing a new gameplay mechanic that's worth a true pot o' gold.
9 Pots of Gold is a 20-payline medium volatile slot. Me slick slot spinners will find the graphics and animations thrilling. We love that naughty leprechaun looking over the reels and the unique art direction that can lead to wins of 2,000x the stake.
Your goal is to follow the leprechaun over the rainbow and find the nine pots of gold. Do that, and you'll be over the moon in a retro-Irish online slot that turns backs the clock.
Microgaming has done a great job with the graphics and animations, so this is a pretty sharp looking slot. Kudos for the retro sound effects too.
The pot of gold symbol is the most significant, but it’s the mushroom wild that pays the most – 125x for five of a kind. Three sevens are next in line with 37.50x, followed by double green 7s, a single one, and a combination of all three. You’ll also see a harp, a BAR symbol, four-leaf clover, and a leprechaun hat.
In terms of art direction and symbols, the studio has ensured it’s an accurate representation of the Emerald Isle.
Read to get started, me foxies? Place a bet from 0.20 to 60.00 and hit the Spin button. Cross your fingers to land the sevens and wilds, but watch out for the pots of gold. This is a Scatter Pays slot that delivers excellent wins for 3-9 pot of gold scatters.
You can see the payouts in the left column. Three pay 1x, four pay 5x, while the maximum of nine anywhere on the reels pay a whopping 2,000x cash prize. We're not kidding! This can happen any time, so it's not part of a bonus or so.
Me slick slot spinnin’ players also have a free spins round to look forward to, triggered by three free spins scatters.
Before you enter the free spins bonus round, you get to spin a lucky wheel. It specifies the number of free games and the multiplier, which applies to all wins. For example, you can win ten free games with an x2 multiplier, or a maximum of 30 with all wins tripled.
When the bonus round begins, each win you score will be boosted by the multiplier. The gameplay is similar to the base game, and the Pot Of Gold feature is active too.
9 Pots of Gold has boldly gone where no Irish theme has dared to go before. It's a pretty minor tweak, but a significant one. We're talking about the Scatter Pays feature that has made it the favourite slot of hundreds of me slick Foxy fans. That, along with the medium variance, is the key to frequent and very solid wins, making it our favourite leprechaun-inspired slot game.
All me players looking for a new game based on the Emerald Isle are welcome to try it. It’s live for free and real money here at Foxy Bingo, so give it a spin and see what you can win!
