Leprechaun Goes Wild is a new very high volatile slot game from Play’n Go.
For this game Play’n Go took some ideas from Dead or Alive by NetEnt, because the free spins feature is almost the same as that game. But of course there are differences and the game does feel different.
Leprechaun Goes Wild uses 20 lines on 5 reels, each 4 symbols high. The game uses a classic Irish theme with leprechauns, four leave clovers and other Irish symbols. All symbols, except wild and scatter symbols, may appear stacked on all reels.
There are also two different wild symbols. The leprechaun is a normal wild symbol. The four leave clover is a wild symbol, but also counts as the scatter symbol.
Luck of the Irish Feature
If you get 2 scatter/wild symbols you will trigger this feature. You will be awarded one of two bonuses:
- 1 random wild symbol is added to each reel, so 5 in total
- 1 scatter symbol is added to the reels, triggering the free spins feature
Free Spins Feature
Getting 3 scatter/wild symbols at the same time, or triggering the third scatter during the Luck of the Irish Feature will trigger the free spins feature.
You will spin a wheel and this will award 7, 9, 11 or 13 free spins at random.
During free spins all wild symbols become sticky wild symbols and will stay on the reels until the end of the feature.
Getting at least 1 sticky wild symbol on each reel will award another wheel and awards 3, 5, 7 or 9 more free spins. Of course all wild symbols will still stay sticky.
The feature can only be retriggered this one time.
Verdict
Leprechaun Goes Wild is a very cool game, but also very high volatile. The theme has been done over and over, so that’s not really something that is original.
But the gameplay is a lot of fun. Those scatter/wild symbols that will trigger either 5 random wild symbols or the free spins feature is really a nice bonus. And appears to happen pretty often. But most of the time it will award you those 5 random wild symbols. Triggering the free spins feature seems a lot harder.
Which makes sense, because this is the feature that can reward massive wins. If you know Dead or Alive, you know why. Getting 5 wild symbols on an active payline and still having spins to go, this will keep adding big win onto big win.
I like this game a lot. But it is a though game, so be aware that this might not be for all players.
