A huge rainbow arcs over green Irish hills and a thatched cottage, ending neatly inside the largest of four cauldrons above the reels. Off to the right, a ginger-bearded leprechaun hugs a pot of coins and beams at you. Clover Fortune wears its luck-of-the-Irish theme with total sincerity, and at the 5 FUN stake shown, those pots read 100, 250, 1000 and 2500.
Theme and Gameplay
A Pot of Gold brimming with coins is the richest symbol, followed by a golden Harp, a Horseshoe and a frothy Beer Mug. Ace through Ten complete the set in polished gold, with sprigs of shamrock tucked into each letter. Per way, five Pots return x6 the total bet, while five Tens give x1, so ways stacking across rows really do the work.
Slot Features
Each extra match on a reel multiplies your ways. Two on reel 1, one on reel 2 and two on reel 3 make 4 ways, for instance. The Leprechaun Wild turns up on reels 2 to 5 only, covering paying symbols but never Coins.
Six or more Coins anywhere begin Clover Respins, and any ways wins from that spin are paid too. The board clears around the locked Coins and you receive 3 respins, with only open cells spinning. New Coins lock and return the count to 3. Play ends when no respins remain or all 15 cells are full, then each Coin pays its value. Completing the board adds the GRAND, worth 500x your bet.
Three special Coins can switch on a pot for that round, whether from the trigger or by locking later, and each draws its value once. BOOST adds 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x the bet to every Coin. MIN COIN lifts every Coin to at least 3x, 5x, 8x or 10x. JACKPOT pays the MINI (20x), MINOR (50x) or MAJOR (200x) one time. Both Coin effects reach backwards to Coins already locked, with the minimum applied before the boost.
Buy Bonus starts the respins immediately with at least 6 Coins. One random pot costs 80x your bet, one to three random pots cost 90x, and all three cost 115x. A bought spin pays no ways wins, though a special Coin landing unprompted can give you more pots than you paid for.
RTP and Win Potential
Theoretical return stands at 96.00%, paired with a ceiling of 3,000x per round. A round reaching that amount stops there and pays it, and operators may apply their own lower limit. Each result stands alone, decided by chance, with no skill involved.
My Thoughts On This Slot
The pot system is the smartest thing here, because it gives a familiar coin-locking format some real decisions at the buy screen and surprises during play. Base game ways are modest by comparison, so much of the charm depends on reaching that bonus.
