Paddy’s Pool Party Slot Review
Paddy is throwing the ultimate pool party ahead of the most fun-filled celebration of the year in Reflex Gaming’s latest release, Paddy’s Pool Party!
Welcome to Paddy’s Pool Party, a game full of colourful Wilds, inflatable symbols, and high-energy features. Float your troubles away as you drift across the pool in your inflatable, sipping delicious beverages and basking in the sun.
Irish-themed slots, particularly those featuring Leprechauns, are by far one of the most prominent themes in the iGaming market. Software providers like Pragmatic Play, Light & Wonder, and 4ThePlayer have all maintained the traditional Leprechaun theme, but games like Paddy’s Pool Party breathe new life into the classic genre.
More often than not, we find ourselves in the realm of the Leprechaun, trying to find our way over the rainbow and into the juicy Gold pot at the end. With warmer weather on the horizon, it’s a welcoming change of pace from chasing rainbows.

Base Game & Features
Paddy’s Pool Party is a 5-reel Video Slot with a 3-5-5-5-3 reel formation. Wins occur when 3 or more matching symbols land from left to right across a maximum of 3,087 ways to win. This game is labelled a Mid-High Volatility rating with an overall RTP of 94% and a max win cap of 5,463x your bet.
The game has a total of 12 High and Low-paying symbols, including Wilds. Winning combinations award payouts between 0.1x and 1.2x for Low-paying symbols and 0.4x and 10x for High-paying symbols. Wilds substitute for all symbols except Clover, Collect, and Prize symbols.
Prize Collect
In the base game, special Cash and Jackpot Coins can appear on the reels, revealing a value from a predefined set. When at least 1 Collect symbol hits on reels 1 or 5, all visible Cash Coins are collected and applied to your overall win.
When a Jackpot Coin is collected, a single spin on the Jackpot Reel is triggered. The reel will spin through all available Jackpot Prizes until it stops. Whichever Jackpot it stops on is instantly awarded.
- Cash Coins: Reveal a value between 1x and 10x your bet
- Jackpot Coins: Award the Mini (10x), Minor (25x), Major (100x), or Mega (500x) Jackpot
In addition, certain Coins can award the Free Spins round, where 7 Free Spins are automatically awarded. If a Collect symbol lands on both reels 1 and 5, all Cash and Jackpot Coins are collected twice.
Clover Respins
Landing Clover symbols on reel 5 in the base game will add either +1, +2, or +3 to the Clover Respins Meter. Furthermore, all Cash Coins collected are also added to the same meter. When the meter reaches the displayed target, the Clover Respins Feature is awarded.
During this feature, all reels without a Cash Coin will spin. If a new coin lands, it will remain in its position until the end of the feature. The round ends when all Respins are used or if the entire grid is filled with Coins. The total value of all Cash Coins is added together and applied.
Golden Bet & Bonus Buy
- Golden Bet: When active, the number of Coins needed to fill the Clover Meter is reduced (1.25x your bet)
- 7 Free Spins: 100x your bet
- 14 Free Spins: 250x your bet
- 21 Free Spins: 500x your bet
Free Spins
For every Scatter symbol that is collected, 7 Free Spins are awarded, up to a maximum of 42 Free Spins in total.
During this round, Collect symbols on reels 1 and 5 will slide down to the bottom reel position. After each Coin Collect function, the Golden Spins counter increases.
When a Coin Collect occurs, each coin position will spin for the number of times displayed on the counter. Each Golden Spin will land 1 Cash Coin per spin. Lastly, Cash Coins will reveal between 1x and 500x your bet.
Our Verdict
Paddy’s Pool Party is a feel-good slot with many elements of gameplay that will appeal to a wide audience. The Clover Respins and Prize Collect features make for a nice change from the DoubleMax mechanic, which Reflex Gaming has overused in many of their new releases.
We also appreciate the change of scenery from the traditional Leprechaun genre. It’s not every day you see a Leprechaun bathing on an inflatable, in nothing but his trunks, but we’re all for it. What’s great is that Reflex Gaming hasn’t stripped the theme entirely of its Irish roots, with beer and mushroom symbols on the reels and a rainbow in the backdrop.
During the Prize Collect feature, there is an opportunity to win 1 of 4 Jackpot Prizes. The values of each Jackpot Prize are slightly lower than we’re used to, but it gives you a sense of security in that you’re more likely to see a higher Jackpot Prize come in.
In Free Spins, Collect symbols will drop to the bottom reel position and make their way back through to the top if you fail to achieve Cash Coin symbols. This enables players more opportunities to land Cash Coins and tally up those Golden Spins.
