Five pots of gold sit behind the Gold Pots Bonus in Irish Luck, and two of them get opened: the round starts at 8 free games with a x2 multiplier, and the picks can take it as far as 33 games and x15. The red-haired Wild substitutes for everything but the Scatter and doubles the line wins it joins…

A red-haired Wild on thirty lines
Playtech has been very busy pumping out slot after slot. It's nearly to the stage where it's becoming tough to keep up. I played 460 spins of Irish Luck at 0.05 a line, a 1.50 stake, and the balance went from 1,000.00 to 580.45.
Irish Luck is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 30 pay lines. Wins pay left to right only, and only the highest win on each line counts. I'd reckon it's somewhere around 4 out of 6 on the volatility scale. The balance never rose above the 1,000.00 it started with, and my biggest single win was 27.00, 18 times the stake, on spin 411.
Irish Luck arrives with 6 low-value symbols, 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, as well as 5 premiums. K and A share one set of pays, and Q, J and 10 share another. These are depicted by Claddagh rings, horseshoes, shamrocks, harps and Celtic knots, and the highest paying is the wild symbol, a red-haired woman. It pays 10,000 times the line bet for 5 across a complete pay line. It also substitutes for every symbol except the Scatter and doubles wins.
Eight free games at x2, then two pots from five
The Gold Pots Bonus is triggered by three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. The Scatter also pays on its own, and the paytable lists a pay for as few as two.
Gold Pots Bonus - 8 free games at x2 are awarded on arrival. In my session it came once, on spin 6, and the pots took those 8 free games to 16. Then a group of 5 pots of gold are displayed, and you choose 2 to uncover additional free games and multipliers, up to 33 free games and x15. Three Scatters during the free games add 15 more at the same multiplier as the spin that landed them, and the rules set no limit on how many times that can happen.
Minty’s Closing Thought: The one bonus I drew turned 8 free games into 16 and paid 4.80, 2% of the 270.45 I won in total, so the rest came from base game line wins at a 1.50 stake. What the pots can hold between 16 games and the cap of 33 at x15 is something a longer session would have to show.
One Gold Pots round in 460 spins
Most base game spins are made up of dead spins. Of my 460 spins, 128 paid something, 77 of them less than the 1.50 stake, and the longest run without a win lasted 12 spins. In my session, the Gold Pots Bonus returned only 2% of everything won. That round did not retrigger and paid 4.80, which is 3.2 times the stake.
There is a top line pay of 10,000 times the line bet in this slot, but my experience with the Irish Luck slot has been rather underwhelming.
