Lucky’s Wild Pub 2 Slot Review
Two leprechauns raise their tankards at the bar, a barmaid works the taps, and three lidded pots hang over the reels waiting to be filled. This is the cosiest corner of Pragmatic Play‘s catalogue, and Lucky’s Wild Pub 2 spends that warmth on a shameless charm offensive. The strange part is how little the reels themselves pay for it.
Line wins here are pocket change: five of the best symbol returns twice the line stake, and everything below that pays less. What justifies the whole game is the Pot Respin, a single hold-and-win round whose three random modifiers can combine into something far bigger than its flat paytable suggests. If you play this one for the reels, you’ve come to the wrong pub.
The set-up is a 5×3 grid with 25 paylines, stakes from 0.25 to 250.00 per spin, and a 96.50% RTP at medium volatility. There’s no published maximum win figure for this one, which is worth knowing if you chase ceilings.
Base Game & Features
Wins pay left to right across the 25 fixed paylines, with only the highest combination per line counting. All 25 lines are active on every spin, so there’s no bet configuration to manage. Medium volatility keeps the base game ticking over without the long silences a high-variance title would impose.
Each spin does two jobs. It chases line wins through the regular symbols, and it hunts BONUS COIN symbols to feed the three pots above the reels. Coins with cash values attached land among the regular symbols, and MINI and MAJOR labelled coins appear too, which is where the feature’s bigger payouts enter the picture.
Wild Symbols
The wild lands only on reels two, three, four and five, and substitutes for every symbol except the BONUS COIN and MONEY symbols. That’s a decent slice of the grid, so wilds do regular work on line wins. Because the wild never appears on the first reel, every wild-assisted win still needs a matching symbol on reel one to complete the line.
Paytable
Pays below are multiples of the line stake. The Leprechaun is the only symbol that pays for two of a kind.
- Leprechaun: 0.08x for two, 0.2x for three, 0.6x for four, 2x for five
- Beer: 0.2x for three, 0.4x for four, 2x for five
- Woman, Harp, Coins/Pouch, A: 0.2x for three, 0.4x for four, 1.2x for five
- K, Q, J, 10: 0.08x for three, 0.2x for four, 0.6x for five
It’s a flat paytable. Five Leprechauns return twice the line stake, and the Beer matches that 2x at the top while skipping the two-of-a-kind tier entirely. The mid-tier four, all paying 1.2x for five, are indistinguishable from each other, and the four card royals are bunched just as tightly below them.
What that means in practice: three matching royals return 0.08x the line stake, and even five of them only pays 0.6x. Most line wins will be small change rather than meaningful hits, so the real money in this game sits in the Pot Respin feature rather than the reels.
Lucky’s Wild Pub 2 Bonus Features
Everything above the reels feeds one feature. BONUS COIN symbols in purple, red and green land on the grid and fill the ZONE, DOUBLIN’ and LIFE pots at the top of the screen. When the feature triggers, the coins you’ve collected decide which modifiers can join the round, so a full set of purple coins plays very differently from a round stocked with green ones.
How the Pot Respin Works
The round starts with three respins. Every MONEY symbol that lands locks in place and resets the respin count to three, and the round ends either when the respins run out or when the grid fills completely with MONEY symbols. Fill the grid and every locked coin pays.
MONEY symbols carry cash values, and MINI and MAJOR coins appear among them. On its own that’s a standard hold-and-win shape. What lifts it is that any combination of the three modifiers can attach to a round at random, and two of them change the arithmetic considerably.
Locked coins are the engine of the whole round. A coin that lands early keeps its value through every subsequent respin, so the grid becomes a running tally, and each new coin both adds its value and buys three more attempts to add another. That’s also why the grid-fill ending pays so well: a full board means fifteen locked coins accumulating at once.
The Three Modifiers
- Multiplier Zone (purple coin): the grid is divided into four zones, each carrying a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x or 100x. MONEY symbols landing in a zone pay their value multiplied by that zone’s multiplier.
- Doublin’ (red coin): the Pot Respin plays out on two 5×3 grids at the same time, doubling the board and the collection space.
- Life (green coin): adds one extra respin, up to a maximum of four, and the count resets every time a new MONEY symbol lands.
The Multiplier Zone is the one that matters. A 100x zone under a cluster of locked MONEY symbols is where this game’s biggest results live, and the Doublin’ modifier doubles the surface area that cluster can cover. Life is the quiet one, but four respins instead of three stretches a round meaningfully.
The modifiers can also combine. A round carrying both Multiplier Zone and Doublin’ runs two boards, each with its own set of four zones, so the same spin can drop coins onto different multipliers on each grid. Add Life on top and the respin budget grows while both boards fill, which is the round everything above the reels is pointing towards.
Bonus Buys
Two buy options sit under the reels, both multiples of the total bet.
- Buy Zone Pot: 100x total bet, instantly triggers the ZONE POT feature with a modifier combination that includes the Multiplier Zone.
- Buy X100 Zone Pot: 500x total bet, triggers the X100 ZONE POT with the Multiplier Zone guaranteed and one marked zone carrying a fixed 100x multiplier.
The cheaper buy guarantees the Multiplier Zone but not which multipliers land in it. The expensive one nails a 100x zone in place, which is the difference between buying a chance and buying the specific round this game is built around.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.2/10
Playing this is a long wait at a very pleasant bar. The reels themselves barely pay for a round of drinks, so what you’re really doing between features is collecting coins and enjoying the scenery. You’d choose it for that one round where the pots tip over, the board locks up and the modifiers stack.
When that round arrives with the Multiplier Zone and Doublin’ together, it’s genuinely tense, and the 100x zone gives this game a spike most medium-volatility slots never reach. The weakness is everything either side of it: the paytable is one of the flattest you’ll meet, and a solo Life round can feel like a lot of build for very little.
If you want regular free spins variety or a base game that pays its own way, look elsewhere. If you enjoy a collect-and-build slot with one big, variable payoff at the end of it, this lands on the strong side of middling and is well worth a few rounds.
