8 Leprechauns - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Head to the foot of the gnarly old oak tree, where leprechauns play and treasure can be found. Click to play and prepare to go head to head with a variety of ‘little’ green men of all shapes and sizes. These are helpful characters, even though some of them look anything but, and can help you win a range of different prizes. They can also point you towards a range of different bonuses, including free spins, wilds and a bonus game.

8 Leprechauns Theme and Storyline

A suspenseful soundtrack makes it sound like the Pink Panther will pop his head out at any moment, but it is only leprechauns that will pop up and down in this game. There is no traditional reel rolling in this game. Instead, the leprechauns seem to temporarily hide behind the hedges and fences before popping up again in different positions. There is a range of different characters on show, from the sneaky-looking little leprechaun to the angry version and the beautiful red-headed lady leprechaun. One of the nicest things about this slot is the way the makers have worked hard to really show off the personalities of the different leprechauns. We particularly like the rotund one with the pot of sweet treats rather than gold and the weightlifter with muscles popping out more than the sun does on a rainy day when rainbows appear in the sky.

8 Leprechauns RTP and Variance

The theoretical return to player ratio of this game is 95.13 per cent. This is a little below the industry average, which sits at around 96 per cent. The makers state that the possibility of hitting the maximum win in the game is one in 80,055. The variance is unknown.

8 Leprechauns Review

We love the design of this game and, in particular, the attention to detail when it comes to coming up with the leprechaun characters and making them appear and disappear in the way that you would imagine these mysterious characters would. This all adds to the entertainment value of this slot, which has a quality feel that should appeal to general slots fans and lovers of the Irish theme alike. The RTP may be a little on the low side, but this should not stop you from trying out this game, especially if you choose to give it a go in free demo mode.
