Lucky Gold Pot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Will you experience some Irish luck as you explore the lush hills of the Emerald Isle in the search for pots of gold? Will the lucky charms on the reels help you in your search for treasure or will a lack of leprechaun luck stand in your way? You can choose to up your chances of hitting the free spins bonus or wait to see whether the bonus games, multipliers and wilds arrive by themselves to help you on your treasure hunt.

Lucky Gold Pot theme and storyline

As the name might suggest, this is an Irish-themed slot with the idea that you are on the hunt for the legendary pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The reels are set in a lush green forest with animated leaves falling to the ground and sunlight attempting to push through the branches above. The golden symbols on the reels and the title of the slot shine against the background, making you feel that there is real promise contained within them. 

The Irish jig music adds to the atmosphere and is exactly what you would expect from this type of slot, just as the symbols are pretty formulaic when it comes to most Irish-themed slots. The only real difference is that you get a lady leprechaun in this game, who is a little easier on the eye than many of the little green fellows that normally take up space on the reels.

Lucky Gold Pot RTP and variance

The maker of the game gives this two stars for variance, which we think indicates a low to medium volatility slot if one star means the least volatile. The theoretical return to player ratio of 95.92 per cent is pretty much on the money when it comes to the industry average.

How to play Lucky Gold Pot

If you have played other Stakelogic free online slots, you may recognise some of the controls and settings; however, if you have never seen the likes of Stakelogic's Lucky Mushrooms slot, don’t worry. Here is what you need to know:

1. Get started with this choice of free play slots by setting your chosen bet. Click the casino chip and a range of betting options will open. Simply pick the amount you want to stake. You will notice that there is a max bet button and a super stake option. 
2. You will find tabs next to the spin button to choose to play in fast play or autoplay modes. 
3. Click the speaker button to turn the sounds on or off. 
4. The paytable and game rules can be found by hitting the three-bar menu button. This is found at the top of the screen if you are playing on a mobile device.

Lucky Gold Pot bet sizes & paytable wins

Standard bets in this game range from 0.20 to 20.00 per spin. You can also raise the chances of bagging a feature win by choosing the super stake option. This effectively doubles your bet and is designed to reward you with an increased chance of hitting a bonus. 

In super stake mode, the bets range from 0.40 to 40.00 per spin. You can also instantly choose to play with the super stake by hitting the logo button beneath the spin tab. This will add extra scatters to the reels, which should mean a greater chance of hitting the free spins bonus. Stakelogic says that playing in super stake mode should mean you hit the free spins feature an average of once for every 39 spins. Of course, figures such as this can only give you an idea of what can happen. You can never guarantee anything with an online slot, as a range of other factors come into play. 

This game has a relatively narrow betting range, even in super stake mode, and the maximum bet is certainly not going to satisfy high rollers.

The wins on offer are displayed in the paytable according to how much you have chosen to bet. Wins are paid out for two to five of the higher-paying symbols and for three or more lower-paying symbols. The top prizes on offer for five-of-a-kind combinations of the most valuable icons are as follows:

• Wild = 9,000
• Pot of gold scatter = 8,000
• Four-leaf clover and leprechaun hat = 750

There are also horseshoes paying up to 400, pipes with a top win of 250, beer tankards offering up to 250, and nine to ace playing card symbols delivering 100 to 125.

Max-win 24,000x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 94.03%

Wild

The lady leprechaun is the wild of the game and can substitute for any other icons except the scatters. If she forms part of the win, you will receive a double prize.

Lucky Gold Pot review: our verdict

This is an incredibly good-looking slot with lush graphics and lots of attention to detail. The theme is strong and always proves popular, and the gameplay isn’t a bad match in terms of quality. There are some nice touches, such as multiplied wins during the bonus games, and who doesn’t like a game where the free spins can be retriggered? The downside is the betting range and low maximum bet, which will limit the game’s appeal for many players.
