Golden Leprechaun Megaways Demo & review

Golden Leprechaun Megaways hands its best moments to a leprechaun who can appear on any spin and offer three mushrooms, each hiding a different feature. Red Tiger released it in September 2019 as a six-reel Megaways game, with Lucky Spins in which you choose one of those features to run for the whole round. It suits players who prefer random features in the base game to a bonus they can buy.

How Golden Leprechaun Megaways works

Every spin, each of the six reels lands a different number of symbols, up to seven, and the ways to win are those heights multiplied together. Seven on every reel gives the maximum, 117,649 ways. In our session every win also ran on as a chain reaction, with the winning symbols cleared and replaced.

The rosette stands apart from the rest. It also pays for two of a kind, and its six-of-a-kind prize is more than six times the clover's, so a rosette line is the one base win that matters on its own.

How the Lucky Leprechaun works

The Lucky Leprechaun may trigger at any time and offers a pick of three mushrooms. Each one hides a feature:

Wild Stacks carries the top end, because its multipliers multiply each other on a win. Two three-high wild reels on one way make 9x, the example the rules give. By the same rule, two seven-high wild reels would make 49x.

Lucky Spins: how they trigger

Three or more Lucky Spins scatters start the free spins, and every extra scatter adds spins. Before the first spin you choose one of the three Leprechaun features, and it stays active for the whole round, while the Leprechaun himself stays away. Three more scatters inside the round add five spins, plus five for each one beyond three, and a retrigger keeps the feature you chose. Neither the help screens we captured nor Red Tiger's page gives the starting number of spins.

By the rules, Wild Stacks is the choice with the most upside, since it is the only feature that multiplies. Lucky Ways, which guarantees a win, is the steadier pick.

RTP, volatility and max win

The game's screens state no RTP, so the figure is Red Tiger's own: 95.72%, and Red Tiger's hit frequency sits in the table above. Casinos can run other versions. Red Tiger shows volatility only as a gauge with no word attached, and review sites rate the game High.

The top payout on Red Tiger's page is 10,479x the bet, which the intro screen rounds to over 10,000x. There is no buy, so the way there runs through the Leprechaun or Lucky Spins.

Our Golden Leprechaun Megaways demo test

Wins came often and stayed small. More than a third of our spins paid, all through chain reactions, and the best of them reached $4.30. The Leprechaun appeared once, on spin 80, and his pick paid $0.80. Lucky Spins, Wild Stacks and Random Wilds stayed out of sight, so the features that carry this game are described from the rules. A cold run like this shows how the base game feels between features and nothing about the RTP.

Is Golden Leprechaun Megaways worth playing?

For a player who enjoys random features in the base game, it can be; for a bonus chaser, other Megaways games offer more. The Leprechaun gives any spin a chance at a guaranteed win or a multiplying wild reel. Choosing the Lucky Spins feature yourself is a nice touch. Without a buy and with a modest RTP, though, the wait for Wild Stacks is the whole game.

Pick The Dog House Megaways if you want multiplying wilds, a choice of two free spins modes and a buy. Pick Golden Leprechaun Megaways for random features that can fire in the base game.

In the demo, keep an eye on the reel heights. A Wild Stacks multiplier equals its reel's height, so the tallest reels are where that feature is worth most.
