Patricks Day Chase N Win Slot Review
The forest closes in from the first frame: a huge dark trunk crowding the left edge, ferns and teal foliage swallowing the corners, pale motes of light drifting through the green like fireflies. Patricks Day Chase N Win plants its gold-trimmed reels inside that scene, clover vines creeping round the frame until the woodland seems to grow over the machine. It wagers everything on one idea: that three reels and five lines are enough, so long as a single scatter can turn a two-second spin into a climb.
Spinomenal keep it compact: a 3×3 grid, five fixed paylines, an RTP of 93.61% and mid to high volatility, with the free spins round topping out at a 5,000x multiplier of the total bet. Sister titles in the studio’s large catalogue include 1 Reel Santa and Book Of SpinOWeen, both cut from similarly trim cloth. Whether the pot at the end is worth the walk through the woods is what the rest of this comes down to.
A Small Grid, Five Lines and a Steep Paytable
It’s a 3×3 grid on five fixed lines, so every spin is quick and every win needs three matching symbols left to right. Only the highest win on each line is paid, and wins are multiplied by the bet per line. Payouts are calculated against the original total bet, and a malfunction voids all pays.
Getting around is simple enough:
- Spin with the button or the space bar
- Adjust the bet per line with the + and – buttons
- Turbo Mode, toggled by the rabbit button, shortens each round
- Auto play runs continuous spins at the chosen bet and stops on PAUSE
Both the + and – buttons and the help settings lock during free spins, and the bet can’t be changed mid-round. Auto play can also be configured to run with Turbo Mode switched on, for the shortest possible game rounds. Small grid, small talk: this is a game that gets to the point.
Symbols pay as multiples of the total bet when three land on a line:
- Horseshoe: 2,400x the total bet
- Pot of Gold: 1,200x
- Barrel: 800x
- A, K, Q and J: 400x each
- 10: 200x
That top rung is steep for a three-reel game. Land three horseshoes and you’re looking at 2,400x your total stake from a single line, which is serious money on a grid this size. The drop to the royals is equally sharp, at 400x, and the 10 trails behind them again at 200x, so most of the paytable’s value sits in its top two symbols. Winning combinations and payouts can all be checked in the paytable at any point between spins.
There’s no wild in this game. The Chase! scatter is the only special symbol on the reels, and it pays x1 the total bet wherever it lands. Everything else flows from what that scatter does next.
The Chase! Scatter and Re-Spins
Every time a Chase! scatter lands, it lights up the reel it sits on. The rules for the ladder are straightforward:
- One or two lit reels after a spin trigger a single re-spin
- Lit reels stay lit through consecutive re-spins
- Three lit reels trigger 10 free spins
- The Chase! scatter pays x1 the total bet when it lands
It’s a simple climb: light a reel, get a re-spin, hope the next scatter lands somewhere new. Light all three and you’re through to the free spins. The mechanic does a tidy job of building tension on a grid where a spin takes two seconds, because each re-spin sits one symbol away from either igniting the bonus or resetting to darkness.
Free Spins: Chase’N’Win
Three lit reels award 10 free spins, played at the same bet per line as the triggering round. The bonus has its own scatter, the Chase’N’Win symbol, and it does two jobs:
- Each Chase’N’Win scatter that lands fills the next cell in the multiplier bar surrounding the reels
- Any Chase! scatter that lands awards five additional free spins
The multiplier bar is the whole bonus. It starts at x2 and climbs cell by cell to a maximum of x5,000, and when the free spins end, you’re paid the multiplier on the last filled cell times your total bet. Line wins still land along the way, but the bar is what you came for.
That structure makes every scatter meaningful in two directions at once: a Chase’N’Win symbol pushes the ladder up, while a Chase! symbol buys five more chances to push it further. The retrigger is generous by design, because more spins is the only way to climb. A round that keeps feeding itself scatters can walk the bar a long way from its x2 start, and the payout at the end reflects wherever the last cell filled happened to land.
Buy Feature
There’s a Buy Feature for players who’d rather skip the ladder-building. Clicking the button opens a window where you can set the bet for the free spins round, and the buy price is set according to that bet. Pay it and the bonus triggers immediately, with the bet per line carried over exactly as it would be from a triggered round.
Given that the bonus pays out a single multiplier times the total bet, buying in is a straight bet on how far up the bar your scatters can carry you. Nothing about the mechanics changes; it just removes the wait. There’s no separate price tier or variant round to weigh up, because there’s only one bonus to buy.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 6.4/10
Playing it is mostly waiting for the woods to light up. Spins take two seconds, the paytable below its top two symbols rarely matters, and the real game is the ladder: reel by reel, re-spin by re-spin, always one scatter away from the free spins. That slow build is the one reason somebody picks this over a busier Irish slot.
The multiplier bar is the best thing here, because it turns every bonus scatter into visible progress up a ladder that ends at x5,000, and the retrigger feeds the climb rather than padding it out. The price of admission is the problem: 93.61% RTP sits well below the market standard, and on mid to high volatility that shortfall bites with every empty spin.
It suits players who enjoy one long build towards a single payout at the end. Anyone after a grid stuffed with modifiers will find this forest very quiet. For the patient type, the pot at the end of the path is real enough.
