The Rainbow Symbol can substitute for all other symbols, except the Scatter one. Being such a positive and cheerful symbol, it lands on all reels.
A yellow, shiny pot of gold with a Christmassy decoration represents the Scatter Symbol – joy (and gold) to the world. This precious symbol lands on reels 1, 3, and 5 and can trigger the Bonus Game.
How to Win
The leprechauns wanted to give you the best Christmas present, so they equipped this slot with 2 astonishing features:
The Random Spin Features
In the season of giving, the Leprechaun Carol slot game offers you four possible random features:
- The Raining Wilds – more like Snowing Wilds, right? In this round a random number of Wild Symbols are added to the screen in arbitrary positions during the spin.
- Pick a fiddle – after the spin is over, 5 icy, white and red fiddles adorned with playful snowflakes appear on the screen. Pick one and reveal a cash prize!
- Giant Symbol – during the spin a huge symbol formed by a 3×3 grid of the same symbol appears anywhere on the screen. Ho ho ho, surprise, surprise!
- Scatter Nudge – this feature is a sneaky Leprechaun shortcut to the Bonus Game. They created this track through the Scatter Realm so that you can have more chances to win! This feature can be triggered randomly when 2 things happen at the same time: (1) there are 2 Scatter Symbols on reels 1 and 3 and (2) another Gold Pot Symbol is just above or below the first symbol or the last one on reel 5. When the Leprechaun-guide feels that a Scatter Symbol is so close to landing, he hit the screen, making it shake so that the wanted symbol drops. They are 100% fairies, so leprechauns do have their own special kind of magic.
The Random Bonus Game
The star of this slot game is the Bonus Game. It can be activated by landing 3 Gold Pot Symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5. One of the following 3 Bonus Games will be triggered:
1. The Free Spins Picker
Sparkling snowflakes will glide across the screen, leaving behind a meadow covered with frosty snow and a bunch of mushrooms, of all shapes and sizes.
The Free Spins Picker starts with 20 free spins and a 3x multiplier by default. Before the round starts, the game will request you to pick mushrooms to reveal more prizes until you find a Collect (or better yet poisonous) funguses. So, choose slyly. You can win up to 3 types of prizes:
- Free Spins – the toadstools that award you with free spins are called Spinny Mushrooms for obvious reasons. This kind of prize offers you more free spins that are added to the default ones.
- Multiplier – some mushrooms will reveal a multiplier that will be added to the existing one. The Leprechaun knows them as the Multiplier Fungus.
- Symbols turning into Wilds – it unveils a certain symbol that will play the part of the Wild Symbol, having the possibility to replace any other symbol during the Free Spins Picker round. These Wild Truffles are pretty rare, but so worth it.
The Collect mushroom puts an end to this Prizes Parade – when you reveal it, you can no longer select a mushroom. The Free Spins round begins with the total amount of prizes won. If you’ve been good this year, Santa’s bag will bring you all those prizes.
2. Coin Collector
This feature starts with 15 Free Spins and a 4x multiplier. In this round, all Gold Pot Symbols are replaced with a glistening Coin Symbol, with a snowflake in the middle.
The Leprechauns added a progressive feature in this round, so that you can hit big. To play this feature you must collect points to advance through the 2 consecutive levels. You collect points by landing as many Coin Symbol as you can. Each Coin Symbol awards you 1 point and, if you accumulate 5 points, 5 additional free spins and a 1x increase in the multiplier are awarded. The maximum value of the multiplier is 6x. If you collect another 5 points, more free spins are awarded, but the multiplier stays the same.
3. Giant Symbols
This round awards you 3 Free Spins with an enormous symbol on the reels. At the beginning of each spin, the Leprechaun that guides you starts singing the “And a happy New Year!” tune on his trumpet. 9 double music notes fly from the musical instrument to the reels and land on them, as a group. A huge symbol is formed in the place where they landed. A different Giant Symbol will appear at each free spin.
Graphics
The first screen offers you an amazing view of the Leprechauns’ Homeland. Small dwellings covered with white, fluffy snow can be seen on both sides of the reels. Your guide is sitting on the left corner of the reels, waiting for you to land those big winnings. A million snowflakes swing delicately from the cloudless sky and land on top of the reels.
Santa Clause added some Christmassy notes to the Irish music that dominated the Land of the Leprechaun. That’s why you’ll listen to a combination of carols-like-sounds and Irish-tones. He did a pretty good job if you ask us.
Activate any feature and the “We wish you a Merry Christmas!” song can be heard during the round. You can actually feel the magic of Christmas, right?
Conclusion
Leprechaun Carol is a wintry and festive video slot game that can award you with sweet presents worth 6,000 times your stake. Spin the reels until you trigger all features and stay close to your Leprechaun guide, he’ll help you hit all the big winnings.
