Shamrock Winnings - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Shamrock Winnings is an innovatively designed online slot, based on a 3x3 grid. This game features a very simple to understand mechanic, with a straightforward match 3 format.

Each game round revolves around 9 individual pennants being revealed, with monetary amounts emblazoned on each. Simply reveal 3 identical amounts to win the amount displayed on these pennants. Each round comes with a multiplier of between 1x and 10x, which will be applied to any winning combinations.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Though the graphics in Shamrock Winnings are cartoon styled, they are very high quality, with the Irish folklore being as strong as the name would suggest.

While the themes here would probably not pass muster for anyone who was lucky enough to hail from the emerald isle, the leprechaun, cottages, rainbow and obligatory pot of gold are definitely rendered in an affectionate manner.

When pennants are unfurled, the animation is smooth, with the pennants fluttering subtly in the wind. Winning graphics are displayed clearly on the screen, making it explicit when a winning round has been played.

In keeping with the gentle rural nature of the design of Shamrock Winnings, the soundtrack is gentle and folksy, with a lilting fiddle being played over guitar and bodhran. This rather classy soundtrack is annoyingly drowned out by the sound effects, including a rather grating winning melody which is definitely more country and western than Irish Jig. A nicer option would have been to allow control over sound effects and music independently.

Shamrock Winnings RTP and Variance

There is no long term average RTP data available for Shamrock Winnings. This title has high volatility, which makes for very large potential jackpots, although players must be prepared to wait patiently for these as they do not come around very often.

 
How to Play Shamrock Winnings

If you are on the game rules screen, you can get back to the bet slider by clicking the coin stack button at the top of the right hand menu. The top win available is displayed above the bet slider, this changes as the ticket cost is selected.

5. To play each round you can either select each of the 9 individual pennants in turn, revealing the values on each. If three values match, you win the amount displayed on the matching pennants. If you would rather each round took place more rapidly, clicking the play button a second time reveals all values simultaneously.
6. Once all pennants have been revealed, the multiplier for the round is displayed at the top right hand side of the screen.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Bet sizes in Shamrock Winnings range from 0.10 to 10.00.

Rather than utilising traditional online slot game mechanics, Shamrock Winnings works in a similar manner to a scratchcard. The size of the bet is referred to as the 'ticket cost' in Shamrock Winnings, which affects in turn the size of the winnings available.

The maximum win for each ticket size is 10,000x the ticket price, meaning that with a ticket price of 0.10, the top win possible is 1,000.00.

If your ticket prize is set for the maximum of 10.00, the maximum win is an astonishing 100,000.00.

Shamrock Winnings Bonus Features

Shamrock Winnings Review - Our Verdict

This is a different styled online slot from the standard slot, which attempts to mimic the games you would play in a casino. Instead, Shamrock Winnings plays similarly to a scratchcard, where you uncover all 9 values, winning any amount which comes up 3 times.

This will gain some fans, but gameplay is exceptionally samey, and the lack of bonus features does not set this up to be a game which people will want to return to repeatedly.
