The theme of Irish luck is, arguably, the most common amongst online slot games, meaning that any developer choosing to take on this concept for a slot title (and many still do) needs to bring something fresh and exciting to the table in order to ensure they stand out.At least, that’s the plan.However, not too long ago, Blueprint Gaming released Wish Upon a Leprechaun, a slot that, on the surface, suggests that Blueprint have gone the opposite way.
About the slot
As you delve deeper, there is nothing to change the assumption that Blueprint are essentially painting by numbers in terms of design here.Wish Upon a Leprechaun ticks every cliché quickly, this five reel, 20 payline slot that is playable from 20p to £500 a spin, there’s horse shoes, top hats, wishing wells, and more adorning the reels.However, the effort didn’t really go into the design here, it’s the features that ensure that Wish Upon a Leprechaun really stands out.
Gameplay
The Lucky Charm Bonus features, of which there are five, can trigger at any time during the base game and offer extra wilds and respins (Infectious wild feature) and colossal symbols (Colossal Spin feature) amongst others.Land the bonus symbol on the first, third, and fifth reel and you’ll trigger the Pots O’ Luck Bonus Feature, which, again, offers one of five options, you will pick a treasure chest when the feature is triggered to choose which one.The Nags T’Riches feature is a cash trail that can offer big wins, while the End O’ The Rainbow Free Spins feature offers an unlimited number of spins with a special scatter symbol.With three other features here as well, this slot that begins by appearing so average, turns out to be anything but!
