Irish Luck
Irish Luck is a charming Celtic-themed online slot that’s brought to you by the same company that made Fluffy Favourites – Eyecon. And, if there’s one thing that we’ve come to learn about Eyecon games is that they’re particularly appealing to budget-conscious players. In this instance, the maximum bet-per-spin is just £12.50, but this doesn’t mean that the potential prizes are below average. In fact, there’s an impressive 150 times your total stake up for grabs should you manage to spell out the word “IRISH” on the reels.
No Irish-themed online slot would be complete without a token leprechaun. So, if you’re a fan of this particular genre, you’ll be pleased to hear that Irish Luck not only features a little fellow in green, but it also uses the leprechaun as one of its scatter symbols, which means that it can potentially trigger one of the slot’s entertaining bonus games.
While we’re on the subject of bonus games, we can tell you that the Irish Luck online slot boasts two! The Prize Pick feature lets you win up to one hundred times your bet or ten free spins when you uncover a leprechaun or a fairy. The Match and Win feature can also be highly rewarding as it gives you a cash prize for finding matching clover leaves.
Design
Rolling hills stretch out behind the reels for as far as the eye can see, and fir trees and tree stumps add more pleasant shades of green to the view. In the foreground, you can see the start of a rainbow which stretches all the way over to the right-hand side, and just beneath it, there’s a big bronze pot filled with gold coins.
The paytable symbols are all inspired by Ireland and its folklore. They include a four-leaf clover, a castle, a rainbow, a money tree, a gold coin, a frothy pint of Irish stout, a toadstool, a pink-haired fairy, a grinning leprechaun, a pot of gold, a stone path, and the letters I, R, I, S, and H.
Irish Luck is a five-reel online slot that uses three rows of symbols, and there are twenty-five paylines in total. You can create winning combinations using three or more matching symbols provided that they appear from left-to-right on adjacent reels, starting with the first reel.
Although you’ll have better chances of winning prizes while playing Irish Luck if you enable all twenty-five paylines, the game’s settings allow you to set the number to anywhere between one and twenty-five.
At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see five small buttons that let you turn the music and sound effects on or off, change your stake size (N.B., to a bet-per-line value between £0.01 and £0.50), spin the reels, set up Auto-Play, or load the rules and paytable respectively.
Wild Symbol
The wild symbol in Eyecon’s Irish Luck online slot is one of the most well-known symbols of good luck – a four-leaf clover. It’s extremely handy as it can replace all symbols except the Fairy and the Leprechaun. The wild can only land on the second and fourth reels, and when it contributes towards a win, it doubles its value.
Scatter Symbol
Irish Luck comes with two scatter symbols which are the Fairy and the Leprechaun. Both of them can award scatter wins when they appear at least twice on the same spin. But, better still, each scatter symbol has the potential to trigger a bonus game (N.B., the Fairy can unlock the Match & Win Bonus while the Leprechaun can activate the Prize Pick feature).
Bonus Round
Irish Luck has no less than three special features, which makes the gameplay more exciting and the potential for winning prizes increased with every spin that you take.
Firstly, there’s the Word Combo feature, which rewards you with 3,000 coins when you spell out the word IRISH from left-to-right on active paylines.
Next, there’s the Match & Win Bonus, which is activated when three or more Fairy scatter symbols land anywhere in view. The aim is to pick clover leaves until you uncover a pair which completes the bonus and awards you a prize worth up to one hundred times your total bet.
The third special feature is the Prize Pick Bonus, which is triggered with three or more Leprechaun scatter symbols. To begin with, you gain between four and fifty times your stake for landing the scatter symbols. Afterwards, you go to a new game screen where you must pick from the selection of tree stumps to see if there’s a fairy or a leprechaun hiding inside. Fairies can award multipliers of up to 100 times your bet while leprechauns give you ten free spins with all prizes doubled.
Finally, you can choose to Gamble any win gained while playing the Irish Luck online slot in the hopes of doubling your prize.
