St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is considered as the harbinger of luck. Therefore online casino players celebrate St Patrick’s Day in March with enthusiasm. Irish themed slots with leprechauns and lucky charms start drawing heavy traffic. This article reviews some of the older ones that have retained their popularity.

The favourite at Playtech online casinos is titled Plenty O’ Riches. The introductory clip shows a leprechaun making a wish in a well and gold coins spurt out. And this is exactly what the slot game provides through three lucrative bonus games. Three leprechaun symbols appearing in reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger 12 free spins. Bronze, silver and gold coins are added to the reels and these award bonus prizes. The Wishing Well bonus is triggered when three wishing wells appear scattered on the reels. Each well awards more bonus credits than you hoped for. The End of the Rainbow bonus is triggered by crocks of gold. You can choose up to six pots and each will award bonuses increasing in value. However if you draw a collect sign then the bonus game will end.

Irish Eyes is the most popular Irish themed slot game at Microgaming online casinos. The leprechaun is the wild symbol and figuratively and literally showers gold. This is because the symbol starts paying out even when it appears on the left most reel. Five leprechauns in an active payline award a jackpot payout of 10,000 coins. The Irish girl is the scatter symbol. The other Irish symbols are rainbow, pot of gold and four leaf clover. Three Irish girl symbols trigger 12 free spins in which all payouts are tripled. The free spins can be retriggered. When the leprechaun appears in the same spin on reels 1 and 5, you get to pick one of them for bonus credits.

Lucky Last is the Irish themed slot game from the software provider Realtime Gaming. It also has symbols from Irish folklore such as the leprechaun, his pipe, his boots, rainbow, pot of gold, toadstool and horseshoe. The gold coin is the wild symbol, which appears stacked on reels 1 and 5 and doubles payouts. The gold coin symbol also triggers the Lucky Last Feature. You are awarded 7 free spins. The payouts are tripled in the first six spins and are doubled in the seventh spin. If you are lucky the feature will get retriggered. Lucky Last offers the two randomly triggered progressive jackpots prevalent in the latest Realtime Gaming slots.
