9 Pots of Gold is the third release from Gameburger Studios, who are partners of leading software provider Microgaming. The previous release from this partnership saw 9 Masks of Fire come to the fore, so this is very much a case of Gameburger Studios wanting to build on the success of that slot online.
Of course, if there’s one surefire way to keep things moving in the right direction, it’s to use a classic theme. And do they come any better or more jovial than when a slot takes inspiration from the Emerald Isle and leprechauns? It’s a theme which has been worked many times before, so to keep things interesting, Gameburger Studios bring their main character to life by naming him Lucky Lad Flynn.
In the 9 of collection, the colour scheme has been crucial for Gameburger Studios. In 9 Masks of Fire, it was red and gold. And, as you will expect, the colours featuring in 9 Pots of Gold are green and gold.
The game itself, as it appears from the outside looking in, is pretty standard, with twenty paylines spread across five reels. Players can spin said five reels from just 0.20, which makes 9 Pots of Gold an accessible title. And the upper betting limit of 60.00 per round is high enough to attract others.
9 Pots of Gold is a traditional slot game with an Irish theme in every sense of the word, and tradition carries through into the design and, more importantly, the symbols that appear on the reels. Yes, people will know what to expect, but if there weren’t shamrocks, leprechaun hats and the like appearing as symbols, would it really be an authentic experience?
And, in keeping with tradition, there is a wild icon in 9 Pots of Gold, and it’s represented by a toadstool. The wild has the ability to substitute for every symbol in the game, apart from the scatter and the pot. It can also pay players directly with a line of five, returning 125x the bet.
There are a couple of features in 9 Pots of Gold, and things get underway with free spins, which are accessible when a player has three or more scatters in view. There are up to thirty free spins up for grabs, with the number a player will have to spin through determined by the free spin wheel. Multipliers will also come into play and can be worth up to 3x.
There are instant potential cash prizes up for grabs in the second feature called Pot Pays. Three or more pot icons will return a return of up to 2,000x the stake. It's a nice additional feature to have because it pays players immediately.
Yes, we know there are tons of slots out there with an Irish theme, but Gameburger Studios enjoyed a lot of success with 9 Masks of Fire, and this is the follow-up, so it’s more than worth a look. And, there’s not just one fun feature to enjoy, but two, with the latter paying out up to 2,000x the bet.
