Shamrock Miner

The Shamrock Miner online slot by Play'n Go is based on the familiar Irish/Luck theme. This has proven very popular with players over the years, which is probably why the developer has made so little effort with the visuals, combining all the familiar elements of the theme into one five-reel game.

Where Play'n Go has decided to do things a little differently is in the bonus Free Spins round, where expanding reels see the number of paylines increase from 12 to 47. There is also a Cash Collect feature to add to the thrills and boost the win potential of this medium to high volatility game.

The paytable has the usual 10 to A card Ranks as the low pays, and four shiny gems as the premiums. Wins are formed by landing three or more matching symbols across a payline, starting at the leftmost reel. And the betting range starts at 0.12 and goes up to 60.00 per spin. The line bet, from which wins are calculated, is your chosen bet divided by 12. 

The Wild stands in for regular symbols to help form winning combos. But it also has other functions in both the base game and the Free Spins, which you can read about below.

Cash symbols can land and be collected in both the base game and Free Spins. The Scatter is sticks of dynamite and awards 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins when 3, 4, or 5 of them are in sight anywhere on the grid.

As well as standing in for regular symbols, whenever a Wild lands, all the Cash symbols in view are collected and awarded to the player. The total amount can also be boosted by a Cash Multiplier active, which can reach 10 x in the base game.

In the Free Spins, Wilds have even more functions than in the base game. Whenever one lands, it's added to a meter above the grid, and four Wild collected adds ten Free Spins to the remaining total. And that's not all! A Wild landing will also add one more row to the reels up to a maximum of seven, increasing the total number of active paylines by 5 with each row, and increases the win multiplier up to 30 x.

The expanding grid, Cash collection feature, and an over-achieving Wild, make this a highly entertaining slot game. But digging for pay dirt comes with its own risks, so always set a loss limit before playing, and never risk money you can’t afford to lose. Good Luck!
