Inks & Pints by Peter & Sons brings together an Irish pub, a tattoo parlour and tattooed leprechaun Finn Clovercoil. Its five-reel, three-row game pays along ten fixed lines in both directions. Expanding Wilds can hold a reel in place for a respin, while two different Scatter symbols lead to a wheel or Free Spins.
Quick take: Sticky Wild reels keep the line game moving, with a climbing prize wheel offering a different kind of bonus.
Theme and Gameplay
The pub-and-tattoo setting gives the two Scatter symbols fitting names: Get Inked and Hit the Jar. Recognizing which one has landed helps separate the wheel chase from the Free Spins chase without treating every special symbol as the same target.
Ordinary results need attention at both ends of the reels because the fixed lines pay in both directions. The main interruption comes from Wilds on the middle three reels. A Wild expands to cover its reel, locks in place and triggers a respin. Additional expanding Wilds can join during that feature, changing the support available for the next line result.
Slot Features
Three Get Inked Scatters on the middle reels trigger the four-level Bonus Wheel. Prize multipliers accumulate as the wheel runs. An UP result advances play to an inner level, while END concludes the feature with a final prize. Moving inward is therefore a possible upgrade, rather than an automatic journey through every level.
Three Hit the Jar Scatters award 7, 9, 12, 15 or 20 Free Spins. Here, expanding Wilds can appear on all five reels and stay locked throughout the feature. A reel secured early can keep helping the spins still to come, giving the round a different starting point as more Wilds arrive.
The wheel and Free Spins also have separate purchase options where offered. They lead to distinct experiences: one follows accumulated prizes and wheel outcomes, while the other keeps the focus on lines and held Wild reels.
Feature focus: During Free Spins, watch how many reels have become locked Wilds; an early arrival can support several later results.
RTP and Win Potential
The maximum win is 10,000x the stake. The wheel builds its award through accumulated prize multipliers, while Free Spins depend on the line results formed around the held Wilds. A longer starting award gives those Wilds more turns in which to contribute, without guaranteeing a larger payout.
My Thoughts On This Slot
The contrast between the two bonuses works well. The wheel supplies a clear advance-or-finish moment, while Free Spins develop through changes to the reel set. That gives the game variety without making the ordinary five-reel layout difficult to recognize.
Its strongest fit is someone who enjoys sticky Wild progression but also wants a separate prize feature to anticipate. Readers who prefer one central bonus may find the two Scatter routes divide their attention, especially when the expanding-Wild respins already provide plenty to watch.
Final Take: Inks & Pints pairs lasting Wild reels with a wheel whose next step is never automatic.
