We’re extending the celebration of the St. Patrick’s Day holiday that is famous for shenanigans, with the new Irish-themed slot Rainbow Gold from Pragmatic Play. Players will find plenty of references to Celtic traditions, as well as one of the most well-known from Irish folklore, the leprechaun, in this 5×3 spinner set in the Emerald Isle.
The latest high volatility addition to the provider’s expansive collection takes players on an ethereal adventure where along with the mischievous little bearded men, they’ll find 10, J, Q, K and A card icons as low pays and mugs of frothy ale, wishing wells, horseshoes, green top hats, and four-leaf clovers as the higher value symbols.
Symbols pay from left to right across the video slot‘s 25 paylines, where five matching low paying symbols pay 1.25-2.5 times the stake and five identical higher value symbols are worth 4x to 20x the player’s bet. The game’s wild symbol, meanwhile, can land on all reels and substitutes for all symbols with the exception of the leprechaun. Helping to build more winning combinations, wilds are worth up to 25x the bet for landing five-of-a-kind.
Top Tracker:
Situated along the top of the main game’s five reels is the Top Tracker, which displays five random prizes and moves one reel to the left one each spin, revealing a new prize as the leftmost prize drops off. Prizes include:
- Direct Money – players are awarded cash worth 2x to 100x the stake.
- All in View – awards every prize value currently displayed on the top tracker.
- Super Extra Spins – triggers the extra spins bonus game.
Players will need the leprechaun symbol to win these prizes. Appearing on any reel, when the leprechaun symbol hits, whichever prize is above him is unlocked.
Super Spins round:
When the leprechaun triggers the Super Spins round from the Top Tracker, the bonus round is played on as many as four 3×5 sized matrices, with the number of the latter in play on a spin determined by the number displayed on the Extra Spins symbol.
Still available in the Super Spins bonus round, the Top Tracker can be won in the same way, by landing a leprechaun symbol, only with prizes worth more than those offered in the base game.
