Irish-themed slots cover a large proportion of games within the iGaming market, particularly the traditional Leprechaun and the enchanted forest scene. In Thunderkick’s latest masterpiece, we’re drinking our way through the pub’s beer supply and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.
Paddy’s Pool Party from Reflex Gaming is a recently-reviewed slot that springs to mind for its unusual take on the traditional Leprechaun theme. Alternatively, you may find the traditional Irish slots more to your liking, some of which include 3 Lucky Leprechauns and Irish Crown.

Base Game & Features
The Golden Pot & Pints is a highly volatile 7×7 Video Slot with a Cluster Pays mechanic and a variation of bet sizes between £.€0.10 and £.€100 per spin. Other statistics include an overall RTP of 94.08% and a max win cap of 10,000x your bet.
Wins are constructed when 5 or more matching symbols land adjacent to each other, either Horizontally or Vertically. Paytable symbols include 3 High and Low-paying symbols, each generating payouts between 0.2x and 100x your bet.
When a winning cluster is identified, it is removed and replaced with new symbols via an Avalanche Feature. This enables additional clusters to be created in a single spin.
Wild Multiplier
Each winning cluster generates a Wild symbol within it, triggering a random Multiplier between x2 and x100. In the base game, all Multipliers involved in a win are added and applied to all cluster wins during that spin. This process repeats with each new win in subsequent avalanches.
Bet+ & Bonus Buy
- Bonus Boost: Each spin is 2 times more likely to trigger Free Spins (1.5x your bet)
- Bonus Boost Plus: Each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger Free Spins (2.5x your bet)
- Wild Mode: Guarantees a win with a Wild symbol and triples your chances of triggering Free Spins (3.5x your bet)

- Free Spins: 100x your bet
Free Spins
Landing 3 Scatter symbols anywhere in the base game triggers the Free Spins mode, awarding 10 Free Spins. Each additional Scatter after the 3rd awards a further +2 Free Spins.
During this round, a Global Multiplier, starting at x1, is applied to all winning clusters throughout the feature. Before payouts are awarded, the Multipliers from winning Wilds are added to the Global Multiplier. This persists throughout the Free Spins round without resetting.
Landing 2 Scatters during this time awards an additional +3 Free Spins, with each extra Scatter awarding a further +2 Free Spins.
Our Verdict
There are many positive aspects to The Golden Pot & Pints, starting with the charming design and theme. The Irish theme is held in high regard across many slots, but it can sometimes feel a little repetitive. In The Golden Pot & Pints, the charming pub scene delivers a fresh and unique twist against the traditional Leprechaun/Forest scene.
Thunderkick instantly wins points for utilising the Cluster Pays mechanic, whereby wins are more consistent than in a regular Pay Lines slot. However, due to the nature of the Cluster Pays mechanic, wins are more rewarding as the number of symbols needed to secure a winning combination is higher.
Upon first look, the Wild Multiplier feature throws off Jammin’ Jars vibes, where Multipliers accumulate on Wild symbols and apply to all wins they are a part of. The only difference here is that they do not require a Jar to kick things off, but rather a regular cluster win.
In Free Spins, the Wild Multipliers are added to the Global Multiplier which is persistent for the entire feature. If a winning cluster is created, the Global Multiplier is automatically applied, regardless of whether there is an active Wild Multiplier or not. This allows bigger wins to accumulate over time – the bigger the Global Multiplier, the more rewarding the win.
