Grid / Reels / Paylines
The slot runs on a standard 5-reel, 3-row grid with 25 ways to win. Symbols pay from 3 or more matching instances, reading left to right. The Wild is a leprechaun that lands on reels 2-5 and substitutes for regular symbols in winning combos.
Stakes range from €0.20 to €12 per spin – a modest betting range suited to the Hold and Win-style design.

Bonus Coins / Pot Triggers
The core mechanic revolves around Bonus Coins – special symbols that carry random cash prizes but pay only during the bonus round. Each Bonus symbol can trigger one of three pot modifiers. Land 6 Bonus symbols and the round activates immediately.
Three pot types feed the feature: Blue Bonus symbols trigger the Collect pot, red symbols feed the Mystery pot, and violet symbols activate the Multi pot. Up to 3 modifiers can be active at once during a single bonus game.
Bonus Game / Respins
The bonus game starts with 3 respins. During the round, only Bonus symbols appear. Each new symbol sticks and resets the counter to 3, creating a streak mechanic. The three pot features apply modifiers to the grid:
- Multi Bonus – adds random multipliers (x2, x3, or x5) to empty cells, which apply to coin symbols.
- Collect Bonus – a cash collector symbol gathers all visible coin values when it lands.
- Mystery Bonus – Mystery symbols reveal jackpots or cash values up to 100x.
A Rainbow Coin can land during the bonus and activate an extra pot feature or upgrade an active one with an additional special symbol.
Super Bonus Game / Grid Expansion
The Super Coin triggers an enhanced bonus round that expands the grid to 5×5 by adding two extra rows. This opens more cells for Bonus symbols and dramatically increases payout potential. At the end of any bonus round, all Bonus symbol values are summed and paid out.
Jackpot Symbols / Prizes
Four jackpot tiers can land randomly during the bonus:
| Jackpot | Payout | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Mini Jackpot | 15x the bet | Lands randomly |
| Minor Jackpot | 30x the bet | Lands randomly |
| Major Jackpot | 100x the bet | Lands randomly |
| Grand Jackpot | 3,000x the bet | Fill 15 cells in Bonus or Super Bonus Game |
| Super Jackpot | 10,000x the bet | Fill all 25 cells in Super Bonus Game |
Bonus Buy Options
Players can skip the wait and jump straight to the feature:
| Feature | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Bonus Buy | 70x the stake | Trigger bonus with random pot features |
| Super Bonus Buy | 150x the stake | Guarantee the Super Bonus Game with grid expansion |
Bonus buys accelerate the action but raise risk immediately – high volatility means balances can drain fast when chasing features.
RTP / Volatility / Hit Rate
this slot carries a 95% RTP – below the industry standard and a noticeable friction point. The game is flagged as high volatility, meaning payouts cluster around bonus wins rather than frequent base-game returns. Hit frequency sits at 16.05%, so dry spells are normal. The max win of 15,000x the bet is strong, but high volatility ensures it lands rarely.
Theme / Design
The Irish theme is generic – green meadow, beer mugs, smoking pipes, leprechauns. Nothing original here. That said, 3 Oaks has executed the visuals cleanly. Graphics are sharp, animations polished, and the UI is responsive. The presentation won’t surprise, but it won’t offend either.
