Fishin’ Pots of Gold

Love Irish themed slots but also adore fishing themed slots? Can't make up your mind which one to choose? Thankfully your dilemma is over with Fishin' Pots of Gold, the online slot title from Gameburger. Taking two of the most popular genres and piling them together in a bizarre mash-up, Fishin' Pots of Gold gives you the chance to see the little people's prowess in the water. And the end of the rainbow takes you below the surface where you could win a pot of gold that's worth up to x5000.

If the idea of leprechauns and fishing sounds a little strange, you wouldn't be wrong. And this slot has shades of many that have gone before, such as Fishin' Frenzy and 9 Pots of Gold from Microgaming. The similarity with the latter is especially striking, but part of the reason for that is because Gameburger is one of Microgaming's partners. Pairing up in 2019, Gameburger is one of the independent studios that produce exclusive content for Microgaming, and it looks as if they're not averse to taking heavy inspiration from some of their partner's previous slots! 

The watery reels are set up as a 5x3 grid which includes ten paylines at the start, although this can increase when the free spins bonus is activated (more about that below). The min bet is 0.10, and the max bet is a relatively modest 40.00. There is also a medium degree of volatility, suggesting that this slot may suit the casual players rather than the big money hunters.

Although the idea of an Irish themed fishing game may sound like an unusual concept, it’s been executed beautifully. With a hint of lush green land above the surface, it’s just as visually arresting under the water with a rainbow arching in from above and an iridescent glow lighting up the shoals of fish and river bed. 

In the paytable, the low pays are made up of the standard playing card symbols. Next comes a variety of fish, wellies, tackle, floats and flies. A complete set of five could net you as much as x200.

As a fishing-themed slot, one of the main goals is to collect fish, and each of them has a value attached. When you land fish symbols together with the Lucky Lad Flynn leprechaun Collect symbol, you'll be awarded all of the fish values on the board. 

Lucky Lad Flynn is also a wild, so he substitutes for any of the low or high regular pays as well as sweeping up the fish cash. 

There is also the possibility of landing prize pot symbols of Mini (x15), Minor (x50), Major (x500) and Mega (x500). Flynn will collect and payout these in the same way when he appears. 

But the cash payouts aren't all down to Lucky Lad Flynn; if you land three or more scatters, you'll unlock the free spins bonus. The number of scatters you land determines what you'll receive, but there's potential for 10-20 free spins. 

During the free spins round, the reels expand, and the number of active paylines doubles to 20. Every time Lucky Lad Flynn lands, you'll collect him in an accumulation trail that's similar to another fishing-themed slot, Big Bass Bonanza. For every three Flynns collected, you'll receive an additional five free spins, but the win multiplier will also increase by initially x2, then x3, x5 and x10. Scatters don't feature during the free spins round, so landing multiple leprechauns is the only way to retrigger the feature. 

Once you’ve played the free spins bonus once, you’ll be eligible to play it again at any time using the Bonus Buy. You can purchase 10, 15 or 20 free spins for the prize of x50, x100 or x150. 

There’s the chance to win some great cash prizes in Fishin’ Pots of Gold from Gameburger. Although leprechauns and fishing may seem like an odd couple at first, the more you play this game, the more you’ll start to realise that it’s a genius idea!
