The OCR review

Gameplay

Red Tiger have taken a very clichéd theme – leprechauns – and created a lively and fun online and mobile slots game that has a lot more going for it than players would expect. While the theme is very well known, the features make it a far more thrilling online slot than most other Irish luck/leprechaun games that just plug in a green background and mischievous little imp with some shamrocks and a glass of Guinness.

Gameplay is kept simple, the visuals are done to the usual high standards that Red Tiger is known for, but the little extras like golden symbols, expanding symbols, and Free Spins lucky wheel make this leprechaun game a lucky hit for players who happen to take it for a spin.

There are plenty of nods to the classic Luck of the Irish story. There is the little cottage in the emerald-green woods – it even has little lamps to light your way. There are plenty of shamrocks in the green grass. There is, obviously, the leprechaun himself, along with pipes and top hats and horseshoes. But Leprechaun’s Magic has something that makes it, well, magical. The design and gameplay seem to add something magical that makes Leprechaun’s Magic a joy to play. It’s smooth, it’s fun, and it’s a definite hit for the Online Casino Review team.

And it has an over 5,000x max win so whoever hits that pot of gold is going to feel very lucky indeed!

Symbols

Leprechaun’s Magic has all the usual Irish symbols that any online casino fan will expect. They are beautifully designed and do have a very interesting feature that will be explored a little later.

Symbols from lowest to highest paying: 10, J, Q (same value); K, A (same value); Pipe, Top Hat (same value); Horseshoe; Leprechaun.

The Pot of Gold is the Scatter that triggers Free Spins.

Graphics

Graphics are crisp and really well designed. While Red Tiger have not added anything unexpected to the leprechaun mix, they have spent time in designing beautiful imagery and crafting the symbols and backgrounds to be a beautiful rendition of the theme.

Sound

There is a theme appropriate soundtrack backing the online slots game. Strings and pipes are dominant but the music fits in superbly to give Leprechaun’s Magic a very serene and peaceful feel that makes spinning the reels a rather relaxing experience.

Bonuses and extras

The features are what make Leprechaun’s Luck a hit for the OCR team. While there are not a lot of bonuses, they are fun and do add to a sense of excitement when players are lucky enough to trigger them.

Free Spins are the main feature that players will be looking for, but the expanding symbols mechanic is a little extra bonus for hitting a win that could add up to big wins.

Gold Expanding Symbols

Players that hit a winning line will unlock an expanding Golden Symbol for the next round. If players land a winning combo of these Golden Symbols, they will expand to fill the reels and bring in some big wins.

These Golden Expanding Symbols will also remain locked in during the Free Spins rounds.

Magic Spins

Land 3x Pot of Gold Magic Spins symbols across the reels and trigger the Magic Spins Free Spins round. Each additional Pot of Gold Magic Spins symbol will award +4 Magic Spins to the total.

Landing the Magic Spins symbols will activate a Magic Wheel where players can spin to see how many Magic Spins they are awarded.

Players can win from 4 to 16 Free Spins.

Any Golden Expanding Symbols that land during Magic Spins will lock in place and can be seen on the bar above the reels. Landing expanding symbols during the Magic Spins round is where players will see their wins really starting to add up.

The OCR verdict

The OCR team see a lot of leprechaun slots in our travels through the online casino games world, and we do start feeling a little jaded (‘cos it’s green like jade!) when we come across another one.

BUT!

Leprechaun’s Magic has something magical about it. Is it the serene music? Is it the great graphics? Is it the interesting features? Whatever it is, Red Tiger have designed a brilliant online slots game that really had us captivated and playing for ages.

Highly recommended.
