Wish Upon a Leprechaun Megaways Slot – Free Demo

The ways meter says 3,600

Wish Upon a Leprechaun Megaways handed me three free spins rounds in 400 spins, and those rounds carried 62% of everything the session won. My own 400 spins on this one took a balance of 1,000.00 down to 929.70. Safari Gold Megaways and Legacy of Ra Megaways are two more Megaways builds of Blueprint Gaming's own. Across my 400 spins the balance peaked at 1,038.60 and sank as low as 864.60. The 95.5% RTP encountered here is not the poorest I've seen. Fifty of the winning spins returned less than the stake. It is assuredly not deemed generous by today's benchmarks, though.

Rainbows and green Irish slopes make the backdrop, with the game's leprechaun overseeing the reel set. I played all 400 spins at a stake of 1.00. The ways meter above it declares 3,600 Megaways on an average spin.

A rainbow logo that pays from two

The payouts are shown in cash at a basis the help pages never declare. The pay tiers are restricted, the value of the symbols even more so, and there's no clear boundary between low-value and premium symbols. The highest tier printed anywhere on the page is six matching symbols. They all appear to blend into one undifferentiated heap.

The standard symbols, which are 11 in total, descend from the rainbow logo down through the wishing well, the green top hat and the horseshoe to the card ranks A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9. A and K carry the same printed values, and J, 10 and 9 share theirs. The rainbow logo is the only one that pays from 2 identical symbols. Its tiers run 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Everything else requires 3, and the wild stands in for every symbol except two, the pot of gold and the gold clover.

Pot of gold, cascade, multiplier up one

The free spins game is a bit convoluted to describe, so bear with me; it's not the first time I observe cascading multiplier mechanics in a slot. My first round came on spin 161 and paid 5.6 times the stake. But this one is marginally distinct in its approach. The second arrived 25 spins later and paid 24 times the stake. Players need to land 3 or more pot of gold scatters anywhere on the reels, to permit entrance to the free spins mode.

Every cascade inside the round bears a multiplier. The three rounds I opened paid 204.60 between them. That multiplier rises by one with every cascade that ensues, and the progression can be viewed above the reels. The third of mine came 55 spins after the second, on spin 241.

At the conclusion of the free spins, a retrigger may be granted, adding 5 further spins. The one retrigger of my 400 spins fell in that spin 241 round.

Our Minty Verdict: Three rounds put 204.60 credits on the board and the other 397 spins put 125.10 on it, which is the whole personality of the game in two figures. Everything outside the feature is a holding pattern with a leprechaun on it.

What 175 times the stake actually cost

Having played 400 spins and landed 3 bonuses I achieved a retriggered round that eventually payed 175 times the stake. Outside the feature the best single spin of the session paid 13 times the stake. So extracting anything respectable out of this game is difficult: the 400 spins gave back 82.4% of what I wagered, with 86 paying spins and a poorest dry stretch of 21 in a row. That stretch ended on spin 393, seven spins from the end of the session.

This is probably not a slot that will frequently go near its 50,000x max win, and the 400 spins I played never came within sight of it.
