1st of the Irish Slot: Free Play & Review

One of the few Irish-themed slot machines where not everything in sight is green. While the game mechanics aren’t the brightest, the features and unusual layout will surely keep you busy enough when spinning.

The 6×5 grid features cluster wins. Winning combinations are done when at least 5 symbols are vertically or horizontally connected. Furthermore, the STICKY WILD (Shamrock) substitutes every other symbol in the game. Just over the spin button, players should notice the 5 symbol meters: RAINBOW, HAT, SHAMROCK, BEER, PIPE. In order to fill up one of the meters, players must achieve winning combinations with the respective featured symbol. Filling up a meter will award the special designated feature. It is possible to fill in more than one meter in one go. Features will be subsequently played in a certain order.

PIPE FEATURE

One symbol is released with multiplier. Multiplier sum is decided based on how many times the selected symbol appears. All multipliers are then combined.

BEER FEATURE

3×3 Beer symbols appear on the reels and will convert other symbols (except the WILD) into new identical symbols.

SHAMROCK FEATURE

4 Sticky Wilds which will remain for up to 3 winning combinations on the screen. Each winning combination will remove one life of the WILD.

HAT FEATURE

8 wilds are added in a random reel. As the hat goes up, it will leave behind 2 wilds while the other 6 remain hidden until a following winning cascade occurs.

FREE SPINS FEATURE

12 free spins are awarded. During the bonus, the HAT and RAINBOW meters will not reset. A new set of reels is being used while the multiplier increases by 1x for each time the meter fills up.
