Leprechaun Charms Rainbow Jackpot Slot Review

Back in 1989, a dude named P.J. O'Hare walked into his local in Carlingford, County Louth, claiming he'd found a tiny suit of clothes, 4 gold coins, and some bones 💀 on Slieve Foye mountain.

After O'Hare died, his mate picked up the tiny suit and spent 6 years lobbying the European Union to classify Carlingford's 236 remaining leprechauns as a protected species.

But the crazy part is that in 2009, the EU said yes (under the European Habitats Directive, no less). And just to restate the obvious: we’re talking about leprechauns. 🤯 As if we needed more reason to agree that the EU has lost it’s mind…

This is Leprechaun Charms Rainbow Jackpot slot, and it comes from Iron Dog. 🌈

Gameplay

This game is your standard Irish-themed thing. We have a little person dancing a jig on the 5x3 grid, there’s a pot of gold on a cloud, and you’ll see a rainbow growing over the reels. Lordy.

The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 95.06%, volatility is low/medium, and the max multiplier is 5,000x. The max win is $200,000, with bets ranging from $0.10 to $40. The grid has 20 paylines. Fiat currencies are accepted (minus the Japanese yen).

Five static jackpots sit to the left of the reels: Mini (10x), Minor (20x), Major (50x), Mega (100x), and Grand (5,000x).

Now we come to the low-paying symbols. The 9 and 10 are both paying 0.4x, 0.6x, and 1.2x for 3, 4, and 5-of-a-kind respectively. The J bumps to 0.5x, 0.8x, and 1.5x.

The Q and K are twins at 0.6x, 1x, and 1.8x. The A tops the low tier at 0.8x, 1.2x, and a whopping 2x for 5-of-a-kind. Yeah, I'm being sarcastic.

Four high-paying symbols (pink heart, gold crescent moon, rainbow, and four-leaf clover) all share the exact same payouts: 1.2x for 3-of-a-kind, 2.5x for 4-of-a-kind, and 25x for 5-of-a-kind.

The leprechaun is the only high-paying symbol that bothers to differentiate itself: 2x for 3-of-a-kind, 7.5x for 4-of-a-kind, and 30x for 5-of-a-kind.

The Wild symbol (a pot of gold - surprise!) lands on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, and replaces all non-special symbols.

The Scatter symbol (a green hat with clover) lands on reels 1, 3, and 5. Three of them trigger the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too)..

Lastly, there's the Collect symbol (a black cauldron) which grabs a random value when on the same reel as a Leprechaun symbol.

Features

LEPRECHAUN LEAP:

Every spin, the leprechaun hops above one of the middle 3 reels (reels 2, 3, or 4). If a Collect symbol lands on the same reel, the leprechaun awards a random cash prize between 1x and 9x.

HOLD AND WIN:

Three Scatter symbols trigger the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). (the studio calls it the "Golden Path"). You start with 3 re-spins, and based on the 1-in-126 hit rate, you'll be waiting a while between triggers.

Two types of symbols can land during re-spins: Special Gold Coins (values from 0.5x up to 9x) and Special Collectors. Any new symbol that lands locks in place and resets the re-spin counter back to 3.

The Special Collector is the main event here. When one lands, it grabs the total value of every coin on the board, wipes everything clean, resets your re-spins to 3, and (this is the important bit) advances the Clover Trail.

Clover Trail:

The Clover Trail has 7 positions sitting alongside the board, and each Special Collector moves you 1 to 3 steps along it.

When you complete the trail, you're awarded a jackpot in a fixed order: Mini (10x), Minor (20x), Major (50x), and Mega (100x).

After each jackpot is awarded, the trail resets. So you're completing the full 7-position trail 4 separate times to collect all 4 jackpots.

After each jackpot, that prize symbol can now also land on the board alongside Gold Coins and Collectors. So the longer you survive, the more symbol types are feeding into your total.

Once all 4 jackpots are collected, the trail shuts off. Collectors stop clearing the board but still collect values from everything in play. Filling every position on the board at this point awards the Grand jackpot of 5,000x.

Performance

I didn't encounter any problems while testing this game. Heavens to Betsy, or whatever else the Irish say.

Maximum Win

The max multiplier is 5,000x, which means you can scoop the max win of $200,000 at the $40 top bet. The minimum bet is $0.10.

Conclusion

The base game isn't doing the heavy lifting here. Payline wins max out at 30x for 5-of-a-kind leprechauns, and the Leprechaun Leap caps at 9x.
Everything meaningful comes from the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too).'s Clover Trail, where you're chasing all 4 jackpots and then praying you can fill the board for the 5,000x Grand.

And while you'll see the rainbow extending across the screen above the reels, I’ve gone through the information and the rules of the game with a fine-tooth comb, but it doesn't seem to serve any purpose. It seems to be purely a visual thing.

The Clover Trail is cool. Instead of just landing coins and hoping for the best, you're actually working toward something (even if "working" means staring at your screen willing a Special Collector to land).
The compounding is smart, too. Each collected jackpot adds a new prize symbol to the board, so your potential grows the deeper you get. Oh, and the 5,000x ceiling is respectable for a low/medium volatility slot.
