Leprechaun’s Vault

Leprechaun’s Vault takes us back to the Emerald Isle for some Irish folklore. The latest offering by Play’n GO explores yet another very often explored theme.

Leprechauns are renowned for rewarding pots of gold at the end of rainbows. While you won’t be asked to seek rainbows, there are a few riches in store for playings in this slot game.

To help you along the way, there is a free spins bonus round and multiplier wilds. The game comes with a touch of magic. It is set in a wooded area where cute characters roam freely. The game is well designed with bright colours that are eye-catching and simply memorable.

The story behind the slot game is equally as adorable. It follows the leprechaun called Larkin the Lucky, who is the holder of this treasure. That said, he is missing the keys to the vault. The fairies of the fen have nicked the keys, and it is now up to you to help him recoup the keys.

The game is built on 5 reels and 3rows and comes with 20 fixed paylines. It is a highly volatile slot game, with payouts happening when landing between three to five symbols of a kind on a payline

The lowest paying symbols are the card numbers, while the highest paying symbols include Larkin himself, the fairies, top hats and horseshoes. Landing five-of-a-kind low-paying symbols earn you between 1.25 and 2.5x your bet, while high-paying symbols pay out between 5 and 37.5x.

The multiplier wilds can also crop up on reels 2, 3 and 4 to help boost the winnings. The game’s payout percentage stands at 96.20%.

Leprechaun’s Vault jackpots

Although there is the potential to win 9,000x your bet, there are no Leprechaun’s Vault jackpots available in this game.

Leprechaun’s Vault free spins

The key symbol acts as the game scatter, which ultimately unlocks the free spins bonus round. Landing three of these keys on reels 1, 3 and 5 will activate the round. Before the free spins bonus round kicks off, a combination lock spins to release the number of free spins awarded. You can win up to a maximum of 24.

During this round, whenever a wild symbol land, it will stay in position for the remainder of the bonus round.

Wild symbols landing on reels 2, 3 or 4, come with a multiplier of 2x, 3x and 4x. Free spins cannot be retriggered.

Leprechaun’s Vault bonus features

While the free spins bonus round is the main attraction of this game, there is one additional bonus feature that makes this game interesting;

Wilds

Wilds substitute with other symbols to create more winning chances and combinations. In this game though, Wilds have a bigger and better function. To begin with, in the free spins bonus round, wilds come with multipliers attached.

They are also sticky helping generate more winning combinations for the remainder of the free spins bonus round.

Leprechaun’s Vault RTP

The payout percentage for Leprechaun’s Vault stands at an average of 96.20%, which makes it in line with other game releases by Play’n GO.

It is a highly volatile online slot game, so wins will be substantial on an infrequent basis.

Verdict

The new online slot game Leprechaun’s Vault is as traditional as they come. The often-explored and visited Irish folklore theme is one that has lured players over the years. If you are familiar with the famous Rainbow Riches slot series, you will know exactly what to expect.

This game has got a modern twist with graphics stunningly done. As fun as this game is, this game developer has somehow removed many in-game features. Though the multiplier wilds are a nice addition to the game and no one will deny this fact, there is not much else to write home about.

The game is highly volatile, so you can’t expect too many wins on a frequent basis. The sticky wild multipliers are what generate the most wins in this game, but even so, these are only possible during the free spins bonus round.

During the base game, there is not much else. All the fun builds up in the free spins bonus round. We would have loved a few more features, but this lack of features is something that is quite common with the latest Play’n GO offerings.

Overall, this online slot game has a good payout potential, but there is a lack of originality when it comes to themes. It could have definitely done with an extra feature or two to appeal to a wider audience. As it is now, it feels like this online slot game was rushed to be released.

We just hope you will manage to help Larkin to find the end of the rainbow. Who knows, the 9,000x your bet may be waiting for you there.
