Luck O the Irish Megaways

It’s hard to say where the idiom “Luck of the Irish“ originates from, and what it actually means. At times and at different places, it can mean bad luck or extremely good luck, it can also mean that through sheer luck alone. Hard to say, which means that you can use it quite freely.

Whether you win or lose, you have the luck of the Irish! In many ways, it is even a positive outlook on a bad situation. Perfect for one more spin!

This slot uses the Megaways configuration, already tried and tested in some of the provider’s previous blockbuster offerings, which alone makes it stand out amongst other games with a similar theme.

There’s a lot more than that going on as well. You can find out more by reading the details below, or firing up the demo game and letting the spins roll.

Theme

The rainbows, golden pots, diamonds and all sorts of other riches, together with playing card ranks, form the backbone of the symbols and graphics in this game. There’s not much here in the way of animations or added entertainment, which fits the simple format of the game.

The audio effects and music add a little bit of excitement though, especially when you are about to take full advantage of the Megaways.

Betting Options and Functions

For the uninitiated, Megaways is a system that is wildly different from the traditional pay-lines. This system was originally developed by Big Time Gaming, and today it is licensed to dozens of other companies. When it comes to interface, the game offers all the usual options, including full mobile compatibility.

The way this works is, that all wins pay from adjacent positions. The number of possible combinations changes based on how many symbols show up on each reel. Instead of the normal reels where only the highest combination is paid…

…here each possible combination pays out. With over ten thousand possible combinations, even the smallest of basic prizes can reach completely new heights. Despite the multitude of ways to win, you can start with as small bet as 0.10 coins per spin.

Features

The game comes with a single feature: the fortune spins. This cannot be triggered during the base games. Instead, you start it by pressing the associated button. This takes you to a whole new set of reels, and a whole new set of games, so to speak.

What this means, is that instead of one set of reels you are playing at four simultaneous sets of reels. The return to player is also bumped up a bit, meaning that you can score more wins this way. Perfect if you want to play some high stakes games. All the special symbols are also transformed to give you an even bigger chance to land massive wins.

Our Take

Blueprint Gaming makes the most of the megaways here, though the theme itself ends up being a bit lackluster. It doesn’t exactly have the same attraction as, say Irish Eyes.

Nevertheless, for high stakes and high volatility, this game does offer quite a few chances for endless combinations of massive wins.

Try this one in demo mode to make sure it’s your cup of tea!
