St Patty's Gold (Mobilots) - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Yes, you’ve seen 5-reels before, but they’re normally in 3 rows, not 5. The unusual layout of St Patty’s Gold means features like Cascading Symbols after wins are particularly exciting, and mean extra chances to win the jackpot and trigger the bonus game. If you’ve played Mobilot's Wicked Reels slot, you know how fun this developer can be.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

OK, so you probably guessed what this slot was about the moment you saw the title. St Patty is a friendly nickname for St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and if there’s one thing we know about Irish-themed slots, they’re all about the gold and green.

That doesn’t mean that St Patty’s Gold is dull or hackneyed. It stands out from the moment you see the unusual 5x5 layout, a grid of symbols that doesn’t sit on any visible reels. It takes a moment to be sure you’re even looking at a slot. The imagery, on the other hand, is everything you’d expect from the Irish theme.

As well as the green background, you have a towering pint glass that you need to fill not with Guinness but gold pieces on one side and a set of symbols including rainbows, shamrocks and pots of gold. The merry lilt of a Celtic tune dances along in the background, adding life and energy to what’s actually quite a sedate colour scheme.

St Patty's Gold RTP and Variance

This Mobilots slot does have an official RTP, something that’s missing from others from the same developer. The 94.5% figure may seem very low, but bear in mind you’re playing with an unusual format that may vary even more than an ordinary slot. There’s also a lack of official variance information. The best way to get a feel for likely returns is to play the free demo here on Slots Temple, all of the fun but none of the risk.

How to Play St Patty’s Gold

Make a wish and cross the rainbow to find this treasure:

1. Mobilots free slots do tend to have a similar sort of layout, which does make them easier to navigate. Don’t let the unique giant glass put you off.
2. As always, the best way to familiarise yourself with the paytable and rules is to go to the menu, which you’ll find at the top left corner of the screen. 
3. If you’ve been playing for a while, this is also where you go to find your game history, handy when trying to work out your current win rate and if you’re sticking to your budget.
4. The menu also has buttons to mute and unmute the sound or return you to the Mobilots homepage. For everything else, you’ll have to return to the main screen.
5. Here you can modify the rest of your settings before you play, starting with your bet. Go to the button at the bottom left corner to open a little window with different coin size options.
6. This will change the total bet displayed at the bottom of the screen near your balance and win amounts. Watch all 3 to keep your responsible budgeting in place.
7. There is an option for Fast Play if you hit the lightning bolt button on the right, should you wish to speed gameplay up.
8. Autoplay is pretty basic (it’s behind the plus symbol, which is an unusual image for autoplay). You can set up to infinite automatic spins, but you can’t make sure it stops on your loss or single win limits. For that, you’ll have to keep spinning manually, using the big button. 

Bet & Win Sizes

Your coin size (and total bet) is either 0.10, 0.20, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00 or 5.00.

The lack of paylines also creates a strange looking paytable. It’s not about matching 3, 4 or 5 consecutive symbols, but 4 or more symbols that touch each other on any side. That means you have up to 14 combinations per symbol. The minimum and maximum values, assuming a minimum bet, are as follows:

J: 0.01 - 1.00

Q: 0.02 - 3.00

Pot of Jackpot Gold: 0.04 - 5.00

K: 0.05 - 30.00

A: 0.10 - 100.00

Hat - 0.50 - 500.00

Shamrock - 2.50 - 1000.00 

St Patty’s Gold Bonus Features

Cascading Symbols

After every win, your winning symbols will disappear and new ones will tumble into their place in a cascade that may or may not produce another successful combination with no extra spin.

Jackpot

Every time you find a winning 4 jackpot symbols, you’ll put money into the pot (or the Guinness glass). When the pot reaches 50.00, then not only do you win the jackpot, you also trigger a special bonus game.

Bonus Game

You’ll be presented with six pots of gold, each with a different value that’s higher than your bet amount, but hidden from view. You get to pick one of the pots and add its prize to your balance.

St Patty's Gold Review

Just having a slot that isn’t the standard 5x3 layout is refreshing, and the combination of no paylines and Cascading Symbols means it’s not unusual to hit several winning combinations in a row, just off of one spin. If you have enough patience, this means you should also be eventually able to reach the bonus round, as the meter doesn’t reset between spins. It more than makes up for the cliched aspects of the theme.
