A Leprechaun-themed game is yet another kind that I find incredibly hard to win on, no matter how many times I have tried playing it. That Leprechaun may be lucky for many other players, but it is nothing but bad luck for me. The only game that had managed to give me some nice occasional wins, but still lost on most other times, was and is 'Fairy Magic' from Playtech. I had a few 5-Scatters wins on that game alone, which other Fairy or Leprechaun themed game couldn't match. I don't think any of them could either. In fact, most of my best ever wins came from Playtech games, with only a few from other software providers.
The Leprechaun is the Wild symbol in Golden Shamrock, appearing only on reels 2,3 and 4. It substitutes for other symbols except the Scatter symbol, but doesn't pay anything for itself or double any wins with it. However, it expands into a Wild Reel in winning combinations, both in the base game and during the free spins. The Golden Clover is the Scatter symbol, which also doesn't pay anything for itself, but getting 3 or more of them triggers a Free Spins game. Pick 1 of the Scatter symbols to reveal the number of free spins and multiplier. Getting 2 or more Scatters during the free spins award more free spins or a multiplier. The maximum multiplier for the free spins is 5x. The Pot of Gold pays 4000, the Horseshoe pays 2000x, the Harp pays 1500x, the Hat pays 1000x, and the rest pay from 150x to 30x, all per line bet for 5 of each kind. The non-paying non-doubling Wild symbols and non-paying Scatter symbols make this a low paytable.
Golden Shamrock isn't a new game, and I've played it several times over the years, but never getting any win from it. All my plays have been losses, and all the payouts that I had gotten were nothing more than small and mediocre ones. In my last recent play, I managed to get 3 Free Spins games within that one session of play, but the wins were 28x, 8x and 1x my bet amount, in that order, despite getting more free spins and multipliers too. After getting such horribly low payouts from the free spins, I finally quit playing it, and probably for good. Golden Shamrock sucks for me.
