9 Pots of Gold Slot Review

9 Pots of Gold Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The 9 Pots of Gold slot is played across 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines. Winning combinations are created by landing 3 or more matching symbols on 1 of the paylines, on adjacent reels from left to right and beginning from the leftmost reel. In short, 9 Pots of Gold uses the classic video slot mechanism.

You can play 9 Pots of Gold from 20p to £240 a spin. You can change your stake using the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ symbols found on the menu under the reels. If you’re set on playing big, simply click the ‘Max Bet’ button. This ups your stake to £240, without having to click the ‘+’ symbol multiple times.

Players from outside the UK can activate the Autoplay function, which allows the game to play up to 1,000 spins on your behalf. You’ll be given the option to change your stake before the Autoplay spins begin. Non-UK players can also click the lightning button for faster spins.

9 Pots of Gold has an RTP of 96.24%, which is above the industry average. The game also has a medium volatility, which means you can expect small to medium sized wins quite frequently.

Theme – unlock the luck of the Irish

The 9 Pots of Gold slot has an obvious Irish luck theme. Originally released to mark St Patrick’s Day, the game’s green, shamrock-strewn background isn’t surprising. The gold and brown reels are reminiscent of an Irish pub, and the folk soundtrack gives a trad sesh feeling to the game too. To add even more merriness, a cheering sound plays when you land a winning combination. The whole bar’s backing you!

When it comes to symbols on the reels, expect more green. Lower paying symbols include green 4-leaf clovers, green leprechaun hats, green bars and golden harps. Green single 7s, double 7s and treble 7s make up the upper half of the paytable, and can be combined to make a winning combination. The highest paying symbol is the treble 7s, which pays 2.5, 16.25 or 37.5 x stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

The mushroom is the wild symbol which substitutes for all symbols bar the free spins and pot symbols. 3, 4 or 5 wilds on a payline will reward you with 6.25, 25 or 125 times your stake respectively.

9 Pots of Gold Mobile

Like all Games Global slots, 9 Pots of Gold has been created with HTML5 technology. This means it can be played with ease on mobiles, tablets, laptops and PCs. The game layout suits landscape mode, so don’t worry about firing it up on your iOS or Android devices.

9 Pots of Gold Bonus Features

9 Pots of Gold comes with 2 bonus features. Whilst this isn’t a huge amount, both are relatively rewarding. The Pots Pays feature gives you instant cash wins, and the free spins game gives you up to 30 initial free spins.

Pot Pays Feature

9 Pots of Gold comes with a Pot Pays feature, which gives you instant cash wins. The feature is triggered when 3 or more pot symbols appear anywhere on the reels. The more pots that land, the bigger your prize:

Free Spins Feature

The 9 Pots of Luck free spins feature is activated when three free spins symbols land on reels 2, 3 and 4. As well as a 1 x stake prize, you’ll also gain one spin of the Free Spin Wheel. All prizes on the wheel include a number of free spins and a multiplier. Here’s what you could win:

You can retrigger the free spins round by landing more free spins symbols on the reels. The number of free spins awarded on a retrigger is the equal to the number awarded on the initial trigger. For example, if you first receive 30 free spins and then retrigger the round, you’ll play with a total of 60 free spins.

The round can be retriggered countless times, and the Pots Pays symbols are still active too. However, if you win a Pots Pays cash prize during the free spin round, the multiplier from the free spins round does not apply.

9 Pots of Gold Summary – a simple yet entertaining Irish slot

The 9 Pots of Gold slot is a decent choice if you’re looking for a casual Irish themed slot without too much risk. Whilst the graphics could be more exciting, they’re charming enough and look good on both mobile and desktop.

The bonus features are rewarding, but if you like Games Global slots, there’s a good chance you’ve seen them before, as 9 Pots of Gold is a clone of 9 Masks of Fire. We wish the provider had added at least one unique twist, though there are still some big wins to be had.

The Pots Pays feature can give you 2,000 x stake wins, yet the most important symbol is the wild. A screen full of mushrooms will result in a 2,500 x stake win. If you do this in the Free Spins feature, you could win 7,500 x stake on each free spin (with the 3x multiplier).

With an RTP of 96.24% and a medium volatility, 9 Pots of Luck is worth trying out but it’s not thrilling in our opinion. If you like the classic style of the game, why not opt for Games Global’s 9 Blazing Diamonds WowPot slot instead? This comes with the same mechanisms. yet it boasts a progressive jackpot and 2,500 x your stake max wins.

Games Global/Gameburger Studios have since released a Megaways version, 9 Pots of Gold Megaways. It has more ways to win, 4,000 x bet Epic Strike jackpots and 5,000 x bet max wins.
