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

Leprechaun Charms Slot Review

Some slots tell you everything you need to know with their name. Eye of Horus is inspired by Ancient Egypt. Leprechaun Charms takes place in the magical green lands of Irish folklore. It’s an example of how pretty a 5x4 slot can be and how a 40 paylines base game isn’t the end of your winning potential when there are both free spins and a hold and win feature up for grabs.

Soft Green Light

Do we really need to explain the theme of a slot called “Leprechaun Charms”? Is any part of Irish folklore more immediately recognisable than the leprechaun? We’ve seen this imagery in slots so many times. Lucky symbols and pots of gold are perfect for this kind of game. Like pretty much every Irish-themed video slot, we start in a world of soft green - in this case an idyllic-looking woodland dappled with sunlight.

A Little Irish Luck

Other than pots of gold and the colour green, what do you expect in an Irish-themed slot? Shamrocks or four-leaf clover? The Leprechaun Charm slot has those. A rainbow, like the mythical one with the pot of gold at its end? Absolutely. What’s strange is the complete lack of the leprechaun himself. We don’t even get to see his hat and pipe.

Whether you think this is a way to avoid being too stereotypical or it means that the Leprechaun Charms slot feels incomplete, the folksy melody and birdsong playing alongside make this gently Irish slot even more inviting.

Leprechaun Charms RTP and Variance

We gave a bit of a sigh when we saw the RTP of only 95.14% in the Leprechaun Charms slot. We’ve said repeatedly that we much prefer our modern slots to at least reach the 96% threshold. Yes, it’s only theoretical and that an average over millions of spins won’t necessarily be reflected in your session, but still.

What is more reassuring is the medium variance. This should appeal to the largest number of players. To get a real feel for likely returns, try demo play. Most casinos let you test new slots, or you can spin right here on Slots Temple.

How to Play Leprechaun Charms

There’s nothing here we haven’t seen in a 1X2gaming online slot before:

1. When you first load you’ll see the option to activate sound. If you change your mind later, there’s another speaker on the main screen.
2. It sits between the menu and the paytable. The menu include a more in-depth game guide, a settings page and your bet history (useful for responsible gaming).
3. In settings you can split sound effects and music or activate quick spin, display in coins or the help screen on loading or switch sides with your controls.
4. Back on the main screen, use the stack of coins to sustainably adjust your bet.
5. Next to bet is autoplay, with up to 99 automatic spins. Autoplay or not, you’ll still need to keep watch to avoid chasing losses.
6. Now spin, stick to your limits and have fun.
7. When the fun stops, stop.

How to Win at Leprechaun Charms

Leprechaun Charms is pretty similar to other slots, from its five-reel layout to the need to match winning symbols from left to right across its paylines. There are differences, like having four rows instead of the standard three, or that some symbols pay from just two matches, but your main aim is still to fill the 40 paylines with combinations of five to find the max win.

Top Symbols

Like many slots, the bottom of the paytable is full of generic card symbols. Themed symbols start to increase your payout potential. Heart, moon, rainbow and wild all apply a 600x win multiplier to your bet divided by number of lines. There’s a scatter symbol that doesn’t pay in its own right but does trigger one of the Leprechaun Charms bonus features, specifically free spins.

Bet Range

Start with a 0.10 minimum bet and increase it up to a 10.00 maximum. In demo mode this is virtual money.

Leprechaun Charms Bonuses

You’re not just confined to the base game in the Leprechaun Charms slot. There are two types of bonus round, one with free spins and one a hold and win type feature where you can collect jackpot prizes. Let our Leprechaun Charms slot review explain more:

Free Spins

Most slots with a free spins round use the scatter symbol to trigger it. Leprechaun Charms is no exception:

• 3 scatters = 10 free spins
• 4 scatters = 15 free spins
• 5 scatters = 25 free spins

There are 5, 10 or 15 extra free spins up for grabs if you manage to find more scatters while the round is underway.

Hold and Win

Finding six or more coins will earn you three free re-spins. This count can be reset if you find more. During the feature you can collect not just more prize coins but also the mini, minor, major or mega prize, with a win multiplier of up to 1000x your bet.

Max-win 2,500x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 95.14%

Leprechaun Charms Review - Our Verdict

Charm is the right way to describe this slot. The soft colours, the gentle music - there’s nothing garish or aggressive about it. Don’t that let you think it’s without substance, though, as those two bonus rounds show that the Leprechaun Charms slot is full of potential, giving you chances not just boost your total win but to have fun while you do it.
