It’s probably no coincidence that all 4ThePlayer releases come with a number at the start of the title, as this is a “sneaky” way to rank high on slots sorted alphabetically. 3 Lucky Leprechauns is no exception in that regard, and it takes you into a colorful fantasy world where Leprechauns enjoy their carefree life at the end of the rainbow. You get to choose 1 of 3 of them for the wild symbol, including a female, which is somewhat unusual.
It makes no difference for the gameplay though, which is centered around the Leprechaun Trail seen on the left-hand side. The bottom comes with lower cash prizes, and the higher you climb the better stuff is awarded. In the middle you get a different number of Win Spins, and above that you get a different number of prize picks. Climb to the top to crack the5,000x potential, and enjoy the mood-lifting atmosphere 4ThePlayer has come up with in 3 Lucky Leprechauns.
The premium symbols pay between 8 and 30x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and you canchoose between 3 different leprechaun charactersfor theWild symbol. It makes no difference except visually, as all 3 characters act like regular wilds stepping in for pay symbols to help complete wins.
TheLeprechaun Trailseen on the left is activated when you land at least3 bonus symbolsin view, and you start out at the bottom of the trail from 3 bonus symbols. Landing4 triggering bonus symbolsstarts you out atlevel 7, while5 triggering bonus symbolsstarts you out atlevel 12counting from the bottom up.
A random pick is made per level, and this will either land you on an upward pointing level-up arrow, or on the level’s prize. The feature ends when you land on a prize at any given level, and here is an overview of what you stand to win:
You can choose to take a cash prize instead if you win Win Spins or Picks, and this cash prize is equal to the average win from either of the features. The prizes in thePick Gamevaried between 75 and 400 x the stake in our test session, but the paytable says prizes between 5 and 2,000x are possible from this feature.
Finally, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can take advantage of theBonus Buy menu. It comes with 3 options, and you can pay35x your staketo get 3 to 5 triggering scatters for the Trail feature. You can also pay75x your staketo get 4 to 15 Win Spins, and330x your staketo win 1 to 5 picks for the cash prize pick feature.
You get to see a smaller win before we purchase the Leprechaun Trail at 0:21 into the 6-minute highlights video. We buy the Win Spins feature right after, and it landed us several decent wins. Finally, we purchase the Pick A Win feature at 4:45 into the video, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.
We like that 4ThePlayers has taken the time and effort to build a convincing magical Leprechaun world for this game, complete with the choice of 3 different specimens to choose from. You truly feel like you’re entering into a world where anything is possible, and the Leprechaun Trail is somewhat innovative as well. The higher you climb, the better prizes or features you will get, and each trigger will raise your pulse a few notches.
This is not least the case if you get more than the minimum of 3 triggering bonus symbols, and climbing all the way to the top cracks the5,000x potentialthere and then. The Win Spins feature turned out to be quite lucrative for us, and we came out of it with a decent profit. It was easy to be charmed by the jolly vibe of 3 Lucky Leprechauns, and this release has the potential to climb the popularity chart of this crowded genre.
