Leprechaun Song Review

Leprechaun Song is an Irish-themed slot created by Pragmatic Play and released in 2018. As soon as you open the slot, you will notice the detailed artwork and the vibrant color scheme. There is no lack of Irish-themed slots, but Pragmatic Play has invested time and effort to make this slot run smooth and be rewarding enough to make up for its repetitive theme. Whether it succeeds in that endeavor is what we’re going to be taking a look at, in this review.

Set on 5 reels and 20 pay lines you are instantly met with a stunning background and cartoonishly designed characters and symbols. The theme gives off a very positive vibe, with a green field and clear blue sky straight in view. Even though the overarching theme is very simple, everything is well put together and it makes the slot just work.

 

RTP and Variance

RTP

The main question is – is there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? We cannot answer this question truthfully unless we take a look at the RTP and volatility of the slot. Two extremely important variables that each player should be familiar with before stepping into a serious show-down with any slot game.

RTP stands for return-to-player and it determines how much money a slot game will return for each €100 wagered in the game. Leprechaun song has an RTP of 96.4% which means that it will return approximately €96 for each €100 wagered in the game. This is an average RTP for an online slot, but it doesn’t indicate that the game is average in terms of fun and gameplay.

 

Variance

Volatility on the other hand is medium, which means this game is moderately paced in terms of how often it rewards in-between spins. This means that you won’t have to wait long before you start seeing winning spins, but you won’t see them right away either.

With a minimum bet of €0.20, the game is relatively budget friendly, and it should cater to a beginner player base as well. The upper limit for wagering is €100 which is not too low, and not too high. The overall set-up makes the game feel like it’s more targeted towards a more laid-back audience.

 

Featured Symbols

The featured symbols in the game are what we should see in an Irish-themed game. All of the symbols are inspired by Irish folklore and are fitting for the theme of the game.

Graphics and Mobile Compatibility

When it comes to the graphics they are in line with the theme of the slot. All of the artwork is illustrated nicely and looks good on higher resolutions in HD. The visuals have a cartoonish feel to them, which makes the atmosphere of the game look a little bit more laid back, rather than serious.

This makes the game more casual looking, but this is the casino with most slot games today. The slot is fully mobile compatible. Because it runs on HTML5 it can run on any mobile device that has an internet connection.
