Leprechaun Links Slot Review 2021

Let’s hope the luck of the Irish is with us as we try getting our hands on the Gold in Leprechaun Links by Microgaming partner, Slingshot Studios!

Slot games such as Banana Odyssey and Zombie Hoard are only a couple of titles Slingshot Studios has in their portfolio, with plenty of room for more. Leprechaun Links is definitely a welcome addition to Slingshot Studios growing collection.

Has Leprechaun Links got what it takes to reach the top of the rainbow?

Lets play and find out!

Leprechaun Links Theme

First impressions of Leprechaun Links are good, we are instantly drawn to the backdrop which depicts an enchanted forest with magical scenery, this certainly makes sense considering Leprechauns are known in Irish Folklore as solitary Fairies.

There is something truly magical about Irish music and Leprechaun Links gives us just that, the Irish music played throughout is cheerful and pleasant with an overcast of birds singing that ties in well with the overall theme.

Looking past the busy background and jolly sound effects the overall layout of Leprechaun Links is simple, its not overwhelming with detail which we can appreciate however, Leprechaun Links may be more appealing to players who have an eye for classic and retro slot games.

Slingshot Studios has won us over with its great visuals and chirpy sound effects, but how will the rest of Leprechaun Links play out?

Leprechuan Links Betting and Symbols

Leprechaun Links has a selection of Betting options for you to choose from. For players who lean towards a lower stake the minimum bet available is £0.20 per spin, and for those who prefer a higher stake the maximum bet available is £20 per spin. The maximum bet may seem on the lower side to other slot games we’ve seen before but there is still alot of potential to be had.

As we turn towards symbols, the highest regular paying symbol is the Pocket Watch, closely followed by the Bag of Cash, the Beer Jug, the Horseshoe and the Pipe. Lower paying symbols are Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs.

Special Symbols fall to the Wild and Scatter symbols and Wilds substitute for all symbols except Scatter symbols.

Leprechaun Links Base Game and Features

Leprechaun Links is a 5 reel slot with 40 fixed paylines. To form a win you will need to land 3 or more of the same symbols from left to right, starting form the left-most reel.

We’ve seen the Irish theme many times before in other slot games, so what makes Leprechuan Links different than the competion in terms of the base game?

Although Leprechaun Links is simple in terms of gameplay it does however offer two exciting features, making Leprechaun Links all that more enticing!

Power Stacks Feature

Situated on the left hand side of the screen you will see a symbol surrounded by fairy dust, this is the Power Stacks Feature.

During gameplay, the chosen symbol will become Super Stacked for that spin and can land on any of the 5 reels. With each spin you can be awarded a different super stacked symbol or it may remain the same. All symbols except Scatters and Wilds can be Power Stacked.

This feature is also active during Free Spins, we’ll definitely drink to that!

The Power Stacks feature certainly adds character to what would have been an otherwise simple gameplay, giving us the potential to hit some magical big wins.

Link&Win Feature

Another eye-catching feature has been thrown into the mix in Leprechaun Links, this time giving players a chance to land cash prizes.

Situated above the Power Stacks feature are Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond amounts, these can land at any time during the Link&Win feature.

To trigger the Link&Win feature you will need to land 6 or more coin symbols, once triggered 3 free re-spins will be awarded.

If you trigger this feature during the Base Game, then you can be awarded coin values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 12x & 15x, but these values are doubled in Free Spins

Triggering coin symbols will be held in place whilst all other empty positions will re-spin, all other coin symbols that land are then held and the re-spins are set back to 3.

The Link&Win feature will come to an end when all re-spins are complete or the Diamond cash prize has be won. This feature can be triggered in the base game and Free Spins.

• Diamond
  • Base Game – 2,500x
  • Free Spins – 5,000x
• Gold
  • Base Game – 500x
  • Free Spins – 1,000x
• Silver
  • Base Game – 100x
  • Free Spins – 200x
• Bronze
  • Base Game – 20x
  • Free Spins – 40x

If you are one of the lucky ones and you manage to fill all the reels with coin symbols, you will instantly be awarded the Diamond cash prize!

Leprechaun Links Free Spins

Leprechaun Links offers players the opportunity to win some Free Spins, to do this you will need to land 3 Scatter symbols upon the reels. Once activated, you will be awarded a very generous 15 Free Spins.

Both the Power Stacks and Link&Win Features can be triggered during Free Spins and all wins are multiplied by x2.

Wild symbols become stacked in Free Spins and Wilds can substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations apart from Scatter and Coin symbols.

Once Free Spins are complete, normal gameplay will resume.

Leprechaun Links Our Verdict

Looks can certainly be deceiving in Leprechaun Links and once you get past the classic nature of the theme you will really enjoy what it has to offer.

Leprechaun Links took us by suprise with its Power Stacks and Link&Win features making the possibilities endless for those big wins, that being said these are features we have come across before in other slot games, so Leprechaun Links although unique in some ways is still generic in others.

Statistically, Leprechaun Links has an above average RTP of 96.20% and a substantial maximum win capacity of 25,000x, this can be seen as quite appealing to players who are looking for a slot game that has the potential to pay.

All in all, your opinion on Leprechaun Links will depend entirely on what style of game you prefer. If you’re the type of person who prefers a more up to date slots dynamic with overwhelming graphics and features then Leprechaun Links may not be the right fit for you.
