4 Pots Riches

4 Pots Riches Slot Review

In 4 Pots Riches, the reels are the least important thing on the screen. The real game sits on a wooden shelf above them, where three clover-stamped cauldrons in purple, blue and red wait to be filled, in a sunlit Irish meadow with a glass bowl of gold glowing at its centre. That’s an arguable way to build a slot, and Playson commits to it fully here: the paylines are an afterthought, and the pots are the point.

It runs on a 5×3 grid with 25 fixed paylines, and wins are capped at 15,000x the base game bet. That’s a serious ceiling for a coin-collecting build. Players who enjoyed the mix-and-match rounds of 3 Pots Riches Extra will recognise the bones, as will anyone who has spun Golden Penny x1000: Super Wheel or Coin Strike Hold and Win. The gold is there for the patient.

Base Game & Features

The base game is a classic Irish affair: rolling green hills, glossy cartoon brightness, and leprechaun gold everywhere you look. Under the decorative canopy, the reels spin on a straightforward 5×3 grid. Paylines pay for consecutive symbols from left to right, and only the highest combination per line counts.

The pays themselves are modest. The top of the paytable belongs to the Beer Mug and the Money Bag, and their values are multiples of the total bet, not the line bet:

• Beer Mug – 0.4x for three, 1.5x for four, 6x for five
• Money Bag – 0.3x for three, 1x for four, 4x for five

Wild symbols appear on the reels. They’re a familiar inclusion, though there’s no substitution rule to quote, so treat them as a helping hand rather than a documented mechanic.

The real business happens on the shelf. Those three cauldrons, labelled MULTI, COLLECT and MYSTERY in shamrock-green and gold, aren’t decoration. They’re the pots the whole game is named for, and they fill with Clover Coins as you play.

Each pot collects Clover Coins of its own colour: violet, blue or red. Any of the three may trigger the Bonus Game, at which point the activated pot starts landing more Coins until the six-symbol limit is reached.

That limit counts every Super Wheel Symbol, Clover, Jackpot or regular Coin on the reels. It’s a collection mechanic with a hard stop, and it gives every spin a small piece of forward motion.

4 Pots Riches Bonus Rounds

4 Pots Riches carries six distinct features, and each one hangs off the pots above the reels. Here’s what does what:

• Bonus Game – triggered by any violet, blue or red Clover Coin
• Multi Feature – violet Clover Coins during the Bonus Game
• Mystery Feature – red Clover Coins during the Bonus Game
• Golden Pot Feature – one of the pot features in the bonus rounds
• Mega Bonus Game – a special Clover symbol in the main game only
• Super Wheel Feature – activates whenever the Bonus or Mega Bonus Game is triggered

The Bonus Game

The Bonus Game is the heart of 4 Pots Riches. Any violet, blue or red Clover Coin may set it off, activating the corresponding pot above the reels. That pot keeps landing Coins of its colour until the six-symbol limit is reached, and wins during the round come from the Coins themselves rather than the paylines.

The Multi Feature

Inside the Bonus Game, the violet pot brings the Multi Feature. Each violet Clover Coin that appears places x2, x3 and x5 multipliers on three empty cells. When there are no empty cells left, multipliers land on cells that already hold them, and the values are summed.

A full board with stacked multipliers is where the big totals start. That’s the mechanic doing the heaviest lifting towards the win cap.

The Mystery Feature

The red pot handles the Mystery Feature. Every red coin that lands during it turns over a prize: either one of the Mini, Minor or Major Jackpots, or a cash drop worth 20x, 25x, 35x, 40x, 45x, 50x or 75x the total bet. It’s a simple reveal, but the range is wide enough that every red coin carries a real question with it.

The Golden Pot Feature

The Golden Pot completes the set, running as one of the pot features inside the bonus rounds. Its reward keeps itself until it fires, so the reveal is all part of the fun.

The Mega Bonus Game

A special Clover symbol lands only in the main game and may trigger the Mega Bonus Game, a tougher version that runs with random Pot Features and pays only within it. The Super Wheel Feature sits alongside both rounds, activating whenever either is triggered. Fill all 25 cells in a bonus round and the corresponding Jackpot is yours.

Jackpots and the Win Cap

The jackpot ladder is fixed as a multiple of the total bet:

• MEGA – 10,000x
• GRAND – 3,000x
• MAJOR – 100x
• MINOR – 30x
• MINI – 15x

Above all of it sits the hard cap: the maximum reward in any round is limited to 15,000x the base game bet, and a round that reaches it ends on the spot with the reward paid. A bonus purchase control sits alongside the reels, though no price is shown for it.

There’s no RTP figure for this one, and no volatility rating either. The return was calculated across ten billion simulated rounds, but the number itself stays private.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7/10

A session here is pot-watching, and if that sounds dull, it isn’t. The reels spin, the Beer Mugs pay their modest way, and the meadow quietly does its job while your eye keeps drifting to the shelf, because every Clover Coin nudges something closer to paying off. That build is the single reason to sit down at this game.

The bonus structure is the best thing in it. Which pot fires changes what the round is, the multipliers genuinely stack into something, and the 15,000x cap is high enough that the top of the build means it. The weakness is everything below the shelf: a 6x top line pay leaves the reels counting time between bonuses, and the missing RTP and volatility figures leave you betting on faith.

It’s for collectors, then: players who liked the three-pot original and enjoy watching gold accumulate more than chasing line hits. Anyone shopping by the numbers should keep walking. For the patient, the meadow’s green and the pots are empty and waiting.
