Leprechaun Links Slot Review

Leprechaun Links Slot, Details & Wager Limits

The action in the Leprechaun Links slot plays out on 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 fixed paylines. To form a winning combination, land 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds from left to right on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel.

Bet levels here range from between 20p and £20 per spin. Paytable payouts are displayed as cash amounts relative to your current bet size. You will also see an AutoPlay function and Quick Spin modes in some countries (not in the UK from October 2021).

The Leprechaun Links RTP is 96.2% which is slightly better than average. The hit frequency rate is 29.63% which means over a quarter of spins will result in a winning combination. The volatility is very high. So too is the potential maximum win of 25,000 x your total stake.

Theme – Audio and Design features – enter a magical forest

With an Irish luck theme, an enchanted woodland, complete with obligatory rainbow forms the backdrop to the action in the Leprechaun Links slot.

The visuals here are impressively done. There’s a Celtic tinge to the rather jaunty soundtrack which fits the theme nicely. This is a well-constructed slot as far as sound and imagery are concerned.

On the reels, you’ll find playing card suit symbols alongside pipes, tankards of ale, musical instruments, pouches full of coins and a pocket watch. This rather elegant timepiece is the best standard symbol, paying 7.5 x your total stake if you land 5 of them across a payline.

The cheeky leprechaun is the game’s wild. This symbol can replace everything apart from the coin and scatter symbols when it makes up part of a winning combination. The wild also pays 2.5, 5 or 25 x your total stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 on a payline. Also appearing on the reels are coins which can trigger the Link&Win feature if you land 6 or more on the same spin. The 4-leaf clover is the scatter symbol. Find 3 of these to trigger the free spins.

Finally, Leprechaun Links has been fully optimised for play on desktops, tablets and mobiles. The classy design and volatile features work well even if you’re using a small-screen device.

Leprechaun Links Bonus Features

With 3 bonus features, there’s plenty going on in Leprechaun Links. Highlights include super stacked symbols, free spins with a 2x multiplier and the Link&Win bonus where bumper jackpot prizes are up for grabs if the coins fall nicely.

Power Stacks feature

On each spin, 1 symbol is chosen at random. This symbol will spin in Super Stacked formation. You can see which symbol has been chosen in the meter alongside the reels. Any symbol apart from the wild and scatter can benefit from the Power Stack treatment. This is known as the Power Stacks feature and can be found in other Games Global titles like Game of Thrones: Power Stacks.

Link&Win feature

The Link&Win feature is triggered by landing 6 or more coin symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. The triggering coins lock in position and 3 respins are awarded. If a new coin lands on a respin, it too locks in place and the coins re-spins reset to 3.

The feature continues until you run out of respins or you’ve filled the whole of the reels with coins and scooped the Diamond Jackpot. The standard coins come with cash values attached. These can be worth 1 and 15 x your total stake in the base game. Trigger in the Free Spins feature and all the awards benefit from a 2x multiplier and are doubled to between 2 and 30 x stake.

Look out too for bronze, silver and gold coins. These award an associated fixed jackpot prize:

When you’ve used up all your respins, the value of all the coins, including any jackpots, is added together to give you an overall prize.

Free Spins feature

Land 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the same spin and you’ll receive an award of 1, 10 or 100 x your total stake. You’ll also trigger the game’s Free Spins feature. On offer here are 15 free spins, complete with a 2x multiplier which doubles all the payouts. Also boosting your winning chances here are stacked wilds.

You can trigger the Link&Win feature from the free spins too. As mentioned above, the prizes on offer are doubled courtesy of the 2x multiplier.

Leprechaun Links Review Summary – a decent take on a popular theme

Games with the Irish luck theme are often very simple. In the Leprechaun Links slot, that’s the case for both design and gameplay. This is a bit more sophisticated visually and there’s plenty more going on when it comes to bonus features.

The Free Spins feature is a good one thanks to the stacked wilds and 2x multiplier. However, it’s the Link&Win feature where the bigger wins will come from, especially if you trigger from the free spins (due to the double jackpots).

This is far more volatile than you might expect from a slot with this theme too. Put all that together and in Leprechaun Links, you have a playable take on this classic slot theme. Other Irish luck slots which are recommended include Barcrest’s Rainbow Riches Megaways (12,500 x stake) and Playtech’s Gaelic Luck which offers a 97.06% RTP rate and 100,000 x stake wins on each free spin.
