Celebrate St Paddy's Day With Our Top 5 Irish Slots

It’s that time of year of again, the streets are filling with happy laughing people wearing green from top to toe, the air is filled with the amusing yet off-key singing, the walls are covered in paper four leaf clovers… and someone has turned the beer green! It can only be Saint Paddy’s Day!

Initially, St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated with massive family and community feasts to celebrate Ireland’s foremost saint, Saint Pádraig. Besides its conversion to Christianity folklore also attributes the cleansing of Ireland of snakes to this beloved historical figure.

As his given name was Pádraig and not the British Patrick, the celebration is correctly called St Paddy’s Day – it is considered bad form to call it St Patty’s Day!

Saint Patrick, or rather St Paddy, is so deeply connected to the heart and soul of Ireland that the celebration of his life has become synonymous with celebrating Irish culture and family. In fact, the craziest and most emotive celebrations of St Paddy’s Day are seen outside of Ireland. If you visit Chicago Illinois on St Paddy’s Day you’ll see the Chicago River dyed green, while the White House fountain is given the same verdant treatment.

 Our 4 Leaf Clover of Leprechaun Slots

At the center of all Irish myths and celebrations you will always find the Leprechaun. He’s the trickster, the friend, a lover of all things Irish… and has a special insight into where and how you might lay your hands on a pot of gold! Or so he says, it could just be the green beer talking.

Here are four of the highest rated Leprechaun themed slots to entertain, and perhaps even enrich you, this St Paddy’s Day!

1. Finn and The Swirly Spin by NetEnt

Finn and the Swirly Spin is a fantastically original take on both the Irish and Leprechaun themes. It is a charming slot brimming with fantastic music, a lovable main character (the leprechaun Finn) and the amazing graphics and animations we’ve come to expect from a NetEnt slot.

The most obvious innovation is the fact that they turned the spinning slots reel concept on its head with symbols that follow an inward spiral rather than reels that spin top to bottom. Add cascading reels to this and the game seems wholly new and exciting just on these grounds.

Finn and the Swirly Spin also comes loaded with Wilds which are created by winning combinations, a free spins feature that progresses you towards unlocking a treasure chest plus four randomly activated bonus features! All of this in addition to an RTP of 96.68% and the chance at a €50,000 jackpot!

2. Rainbow Ryan by Yggdrasil

The antithesis of the super charming and relaxing Finn is the hard rocking Rainbow Ryan slot! Ryan, master of the electric ukulele, and keeper of the rainbow of riches, rocks out on a stage flanked by massive concert speakers while you spin the reels. The reels are filled with gold-laden hats, mugs of golden beer and gold Wild coins.

The leprechaun’s mystical guitar skills will come into play when he randomly uses them to trigger the Rainbow Reels feature which syncs several of the reels to set you up for a big win. In keeping with his love of rock n roll Ryan has also empowered the Amp symbols to award you with up to 20 free spins on any given game.

Far from relying on a quirky thematic twist to hold your attention Rainbow Ryan offers up a crazy 4096 ways to win across its 6 reels, and has a maximum jackpot of €519,922 up for grabs!

3. Leprechaun Hills by Quickspin

Quickspin is known for creating enjoyable and interesting casino games, Leprechaun Hills does not disappoint! Leprechaun Hills is unashamedly Irish, when the first thing you see is a stubby bearded leprechaun giving you a thumbs up next to a giant pot of gold you know exactly what to expect.

The reels of this St Paddy’s Day slot are filled with Lucky Horseshoes, Pots of Gold, 4 Leaf Clovers, mugs of Dark Ale and many more Irish themed items. In addition to its quirky graphics, this 5 Reel 40 payline slot also offers Wilds, a Lucky Respin feature and Free Spins (which are triggered by collecting 3 or more Rainbow symbols on the reels).

Leprechaun Hills is a medium variance slot machine with an RTP of 96.49%, and offers a maximum jackpot for €96.080 on any given spin!

4. Rainbrew by Just For The Win (JFTW)

With their Rainbrew slot Just for The Win (JFTW) have taken the Irish folklore surrounding leprechauns and their magic combined it with the Irish love of ale, and created their own mythology! Rainbrew would have you believe that leprechauns gain their magic from a magical brewery at the end of the rainbow – and we don’t see any reason to argue with them.

Rainbrew is a gorgeous online slot with a colourful game screen, unique yet recognisable symbols, and two special rows that pipe the magical Rainbrew onto the reels which deliver Wild bearing big wins! Each spin will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for the upper and lower Wild to connect and bless you that Irish luck we hear so much about.

These Wilds don’t only bring the odd win, they are also the mechanic used by Rainbrew to increase its already exciting 576 ways to win up to a mind-blowing 1125 ways to win! In addition to sporting massive ways to win Rainbrew also comes fitted with 4 bonus features, up to 10 free spins and a max jackpot win of €272,000!

Bonus Pick: In the same way that not everyone wants to celebrate St Paddy's Day with a green beer, preferring instead a nice dark pint of Guinness, we felt it was only right to throw in a little darker leprechaun slots entertainment to round off our selection!

5. Leprechaun Goes To Hell by Play’n GO

Leprechaun Goes To Hell sees Play'n GO's lovesick leprechaun fall in love with Evilene, a demonic temptress who he’ll do anything to impress including offering a €50,000 in-game jackpot, plus four progressive jackpots! The reels themselves are set against a burning landscape and come loaded with pots of melting gold, pitchforks, pentacles and the sultry temptress Evilene, who is always on hand to keep the loopy leprechaun working hard to serve her needs.

This hot slot offers a tempting RTP of 96.54%, a chance to win four progressive jackpots, up to 10 free spins, and Wilds which will complete winning paylines. Suddenly hell doesn’t sound so bad.
