Clover Gold Slot Review
A leprechaun in a tall green hat holds up a four-leaf clover while a rainbow arcs over the reels, which is to say the scenery needs no introduction. The interesting part is that Clover Gold trusts this theme to carry almost nothing: the paytable is small, the line pays are modest, and nearly all the game’s real payout logic has been pushed onto a five-variant collect system running through every spin. It’s a build that bets everything on one mechanic, and for the most part the bet pays off.
It’s a Pragmatic Play build on a 5×4 grid with 20 paylines, running at 96.54% RTP with medium volatility and a 5,000x cap on wins. Stakes start at 0.20 and top out at 240 per spin. The studio has been round this meadow before in Rainbow Gold and 7 Clovers of Fortune, and the family resemblance is strong. Whether the collect features give this one its own edge is the question the reels have to answer.
Base Game & Features
Five reels, four rows, 20 fixed paylines. All symbols pay left to right on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel, only the highest win counts per line, and wins on multiple lines add together. Free spins and bonus wins are added to the payline win. It’s a conventional setup with no surprises in its wiring.
The wild substitutes for everything except the bonus, money and collect symbols, and lands on reels two to five. It’s a standard filler wild. The bonus symbol sits on reels two, three and four, and needs all three to land together to trigger the free spins round.
Bets are set through a menu that shows the line count and the total stake in both coins and cash, with separate controls for coins per line and coin value. There’s a choice of spin speeds, normal, quick and turbo, and autoplay can be stopped at any point. The space and enter keys start and stop a spin.
The paying symbols are the familiar cast: a leprechaun, a woman, a pint of beer and a mushroom at the top, with A, K, Q and J filling the lower rungs. The leprechaun leads the table at 12.5x the bet for a full line, while five of a kind on the royals returns 2.5x. All values are multiples of the total bet.
- Leprechaun: 1.25x for three, 3.75x for four, 12.5x for five
- Woman: 0.5x, 2.5x, 6.25x
- Beer: 0.5x, 1.5x, 5x
- Mushroom: 0.5x, 1.25x, 3.75x
- A and K: 0.25x, 1x, 2.5x
- Q and J: 0.25x, 0.75x, 2.5x
Money Collect Feature
This is where Clover Gold keeps its interest. Money symbols land on reels one to four and take a random value on every spin. If any money symbol is on screen when a collect symbol lands on reel five, one of five collect effects fires.
The possible money symbol values, as multiples of the total bet, are:
- 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 18x, 20x, 25x, 50x and 100x
- Collect: adds up and pays all money symbols on screen
- Extra Credit Collect: adds its own value to every money symbol first, then pays the total
- Multiplier Collect: multiplies all money symbol values by its own multiplier before paying
- Expanding Collect: every reel holding a money symbol fills entirely with new money symbols, then everything pays
- Respin Collect: locks all money and collect symbols in place and respins the rest, then pays the lot
The plain collect is the modest one. Extra Credit and Multiplier both scale what’s already there. Expanding and Respin are the pair that can turn a half-populated screen into a full one.
When Expanding Collect fires, it works vertically. Any reel that holds at least one money symbol fills that entire reel with money symbols, and every symbol added takes a fresh random value from the set before the whole screen pays out. A single money symbol on each of the four reels can become sixteen.
The Respin Collect is the patient cousin. Money symbols and collect symbols lock where they are, and every remaining cell spins again for a new result. Whatever lands joins what was already held, and the combined values pay at the end. The lock makes it the only collect variant that can grow the screen without needing new reel-fills to do it.
Extra Credit Collect is the additive one: the value printed on the collect symbol is added to every money symbol on screen before the sum pays. On a busy set of reels that stacks quickly, since the bonus applies per symbol rather than once. It’s the variant that rewards screens the other collectors would already have paid well.
Clover Gold Free Spins & Collect Trail
Landing three bonus symbols across reels two, three and four starts the round with eight free spins and pays 1x the total bet on top. Money symbols and all five collect features stay active throughout, and special reels are in play.
The round has a progressive element built on a trail. Every collect symbol of any type that lands gets added to it, and every fourth collect symbol retriggers the feature with eight more spins plus a rising multiplier on money symbol collections: x2 on the first retrigger, x3 on the second, x5 on the third. After the third retrigger, no more.
The retriggered spins play out after the current batch finishes, and the multiplier applies to those later spins. So the shape of the round is a build: early spins feed the trail, and the payoff arrives in extended batches where collect payouts run at two, three or five times face value. A full set of retriggers takes twelve collect symbols in total, which is what the trail is really counting.
The maximum win is limited to 5,000x the bet in both the base game and free spins. A free spins round that reaches the cap ends immediately, the win is awarded and all remaining free spins are forfeited.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.7/10
Playing Clover Gold is a steady game of waiting for reel five. The leprechaun grins through most of it, and the line wins that pay for his grin are small change; the reason to sit down at this machine at all is the money symbols, because a screen of them is one collect away from mattering, and which collect lands decides how much.
The strength is the free spins round, where the collect trail rewards persistence with a multiplier that keeps climbing and spins that keep arriving. The weakness is everything outside it: the base paytable is thin enough that a session without a decent collect feels like an interval.
This is a game for players who enjoy watching a system accumulate rather than chasing one big swing, and it isn’t for anyone who wants the reels themselves to do the paying. Medium volatility keeps the wait honest. The rainbow at the end of this one is worth the walk, provided you enjoy the walk itself.

The Respin Collect locks every money symbol and collect symbol on screen in place, then respins all remaining cells. Once the respin settles, the value of all money symbols present is added together and paid. -
