St. Patty's Gold Introduction
Find the legendary pot of gold at the end of the rainbow in this unusual green and gold Irish-themed game, one of hundreds of free online pokies available here.
The Luck of the Irish
You’ll immediately know where you are when you arrive at this 5-reel pokie, with its shamrocks and twinkly harp music in the background. Developed by Mobilots, it has everything you associate with the charm of the Emerald Isle - a leprechaun’s hat, rainbows and pots of gold. Named after the patron saint Patrick, who famously chased all the snakes out of Ireland and brought his homeland the luck it’s famous the world over for, this fun pokie has plenty to offer.
A Pokie with a Difference
This game is unlike most other online pokies, with a screen split into five reels which are individually animated on a background set with dark and light green chequers. The usual card symbols, Jack, Queen, King and Ace are here, but they are all in vibrant colours and when you spin four or more of the same symbol, they make a popping sound and move from the screen to a prize table on the right.
This instantly adds up how much you’ve won on each spin before being added to the total Win amount shown at the top of the screen. On the left of the reels is a pint glass filled with gold coins representing the Jackpot, and occasionally when you spin a winning combo, a big ‘Cheers’ flashes up on the screen. As you play, the glass fills with more coins, accumulating until it reaches $50, at which point it will pay out.
Gameplay
The display at the bottom of the screen is as simple as you can get, with a Balance display on the left, Bet display on the right and the settings button next to that. When you click on this, you can change your coin size and use Auto Play. Hit the spin button on the right to try and match four or more symbols as they tumble down the reels before jumping off to the right to let more symbols fall.
As you would expect, the card symbols are the lowest paying, with four Jacks giving you 0.1, four Queens paying 0.2, four Kings paying 0.5 and four Aces netting you 1 coin. These are followed by the leprechaun’s green hat, paying you 5 and the shamrock giving you 25 for four. The Rainbow acts as the Wild, replacing all other symbols to give you a great payout. The Jackpot is, of course, represented by a bulging pot of gold.
Conclusion
This unusual game, which can be played on mobile and tablet too, is a great addition to the world of online slots. There aren’t that many Irish-themed pokies out there, which makes this exciting and fun to play, as it has great graphics and nice touches which will make all types of players feel they have the luck of the Irish on their side.
