Green Leprechaun - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you go down to the woods today you may find the five reels and 50 paylines of Green Leprechaun, an exciting Irish-themed slot from AllWaySpin. Things really get going in the free games round, where the bottom half of the paytable disappears and leaves you only with the high-paying symbols.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Is there any creature in Irish mythology more iconic than the leprechaun? These mischievous little fairies are well known for their green hats, bushy beards and tendency to hoard pots of gold. It’s no wonder they’re so popular on the reels, from the ever popular Rainbow Riches Megaways to this exciting new slot, Green Leprechaun.

Here you have all the imagery you’d expect from an Irish themed slot - the leprechaun and his toadstool home in the background, symbols on the reels including his pipe, hat and shoe as well as that infamous pot of treasure and the ever lucky horseshoe. It’s beautifully drawn, with the graphics bright and sparkling in 3D detail and the colours vivid. The leprechaun himself is almost alive, dancing from side to side under a gleaming sunbeam.

Green Leprechaun RTP and Variance

The 95.58% RTP of Green Leprechaun is, admittedly, slightly lower than the 96% average we normally look for in a modern slot. It’s not a big gap, though, and there are no guarantees in this kind of game. You could see some big swings. Medium volatility means Green Leprechaun is fairly balanced in terms of risk and reward.

How to Play Green Leprechaun

Follow the rainbow and here’s what you’ll find:

1. There’s a Menu button, a little brown knot in the bark of a tree with three lines on it. The Menu in question includes “Paytable”, “Sound”, “Get Started” and “Game History”.
2. In the paytable you’ll find a list of every symbol and its respective value, plus a description of the bonus round. 
3. Sound is just a mute/unmute button. You can switch it on or off rather than changing the volume.
4. “Get Started” will change the screen so that every button lights up with a label to explain its purpose, giving you even more guidance to how it works.
5. Once you’re back on the main screen, look at the other brown button, the one on the right of the screen with what looks like a fast-forward sign. This is Turbo, able to reduce animations and increase the speed of spins.
6. Moving towards the centre of the screen, there’s a very large button with a lucky four-leaf clover on it. Ignore that for now and look at the smaller green button on its left. It’s marked with a dollar sign and will open the bet adjustor, where you can choose a preferred bet level or buy a free game.
7. On the right of the centre Spin button is another small green control, this time with the symbol for autoplay. Click it and you’ll be given the option of ten, 25, 50 or 100 automatic spins, or use triggering free games as a stopping point. You can also stop it by pressing the autoplay button again, but you can’t set any win or loss limits.
8. Now you’re ready to spin, either through autoplay or by just pressing the big Spin button once. You can see your current balance and bet in tiny numbers at the bottom left of the screen, so keep an eye on them to make sure you’re staying in budget. It may be a good idea to set a session length limit as well, just to make sure playing stays fun.

Bet & Win Sizes

The bet range starts at a 0.3 minimum and can increase up to a 30.00 maximum.

You win by matching three, four or five symbols consecutively from left to right across a payline. The paytable shows the respective values of each combination as follows:

9, 10, J, Q, K - 10, 30, 50

Horseshoe, Pipe, Hat, Pot of Gold, Shoe - 50, 100, 200

As you can see, there’s not a huge amount of variation between the different symbols. In addition, the Scatter can also pay in its own right as well as triggering free spins:

Leprechaun Scatter - 2, 5, 10

Green Leprechaun Free Games

There is a free spins bonus round in Green Leprechaun, which is always good. You trigger it by finding three or more Scatters or through a one-off purchase.

One Scatter = 10 Free Games
Two Scatters = 15 Free Games
Three Scatters = 20 Free Games

In addition to this, the Free Games round comes with an exciting extra feature. During free games, all the low-paying card symbols will disappear from the reels. You’ll be playing with only the higher paying themed symbols. That means any payline you find has more potential for larger rewards.

Green Leprechaun Review

One of the biggest strengths of this slot is its graphics. Green Leprechaun is colourful and vivid, creating a magical atmosphere that makes you want to visit this mythical setting. The actual base game is pretty simple - you’re not going to see a lot of variety in size of wins when ten symbols only have two values between them - but if you’re lucky enough to trigger the free games round, then that dramatically increases your chances. It’s certainly enough to make you want to try some more AllWaySpin slots online.
