Luck O' The Irish Fortune Spins Slot – Free Demo

Provider: Blueprint Gaming
Without buying a single Fortune Spins round, I took this Blueprint Gaming slot through 450 base-game spins at 2.00, and Red Rubies turned up in the four biggest hits. The balance still never rose past its 1,000.00 start and closed on 597.80.

Ten fixed lines that pay from both ends

Luck O' The Irish Fortune Spins is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 10 paylines. All 10 lines are fixed, and wins pay both ways for 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels. It is wagerable from between 0.10 to 100 and the RTP rests at 95.05%. I played 450 spins at a 2.00 stake from a starting balance of 1,000.00 and finished on 597.80. It also carries the optional Fortune Spins mode. The Fortune Spins bet has its own range, from 2 to 500.

Red Rubies did the heavy lifting

Glancing at the paytable I discover no wild. There are no scatters, multipliers or free spins in the base game either. The unique Mystery symbol solely surfaces in Fortune Spins. Don't anticipate much from the low A, K, Q, J and 10 card symbols, because it is the high-payers you're aiming to land, and these are depicted by Green Emeralds, Blue Sapphires, Red Rubies and the Pot O' Gold itself. With the line bet a tenth of the stake, 5 Red Rubies pay 40x the stake and 5 Blue Sapphires or 5 Green Emeralds pay 30x. The Pot O' Gold is the highest ranking chap. It awards 500 times your line bet for 5 on a payline. My biggest win came from 5 Red Rubies plus 3 more on a second line, paying 92.00 at the 2.00 stake, or 46x.

Why I left the Fortune Spins button alone

The namesake of this slot is the Fortune Spins mode. To access it you will need to use the Fortune Spins button, and purchasing it will give you 4 spins on 4 reel sets played in succession at the price of 20x your stake. Blueprint Gaming's other Luck O' The Irish games include Luck O' The Irish Fortune Spins 2 and Luck O' the Irish Megaways.

Here the Mystery symbol is added to all 4 reel sets and, moreover, it reveals the same symbol in all its positions and transfers from one reel set to the next. Transferred Mystery symbols can build up by the fourth reel set, but I did not buy Fortune Spins, so everything in my session came from the base game.

A balance that never saw 1,000.00 again

I truly have plenty to grumble about, and though the base game does tend to become a touch monotonous at moments, the Fortune Spins mode is meant to compensate for it. Over my 450 spins the base game returned 497.80 from 900.00 wagered, a session return of 55.3%, and the balance never climbed above the 1,000.00 it started at.

It's not a slot I picture myself returning to frequently, particularly with the abundance of choices on the digital racks.

Minty’s Expert Conclusion: Only 80 of my 450 spins paid, 13 of them less than the 2.00 stake, and the longest run without a win lasted 25 spins. It's a volatile slot, however, so don't be astonished if it devours your balance like a gull gobbling a frankfurter.
