The sheer number of slot games with an Irish theme is testimony to the enduring love designers have with the Emerald Isle.
Slots O’ Gold is a Blueprint slot that leans heavily on the franchise. Does this game join the hallowed ranks of slots that deserve a place on the the great Irish shelf or does this slot leave me feeling a little green around the gills?
This is no bright flashy number like the D J Wild slot. Instead we are in a tempting journey to the land of Leprechauns.
Slots O’ Gold has our attention from the outset; this game has a progressive jackpot, the more you play the bigger the pot. Now you’re listening!

Graphics
The game looks pretty good. The graphics are crisp and full of bright colours and you see exactly what you expect to see in Ireland spinning some reels – a lush green scene, a forested glade with a sparkly pot of magical gold around the frame of the reels and a rainbow beaming over the reels.
This game has “Feel Good” written all over it.
The background sound is fun too with a jaunty Irish-themed jig to help take you on your way. If it starts to get a bit much, you can always turn the volume down!
Slots O’ Game Play
Slots O’ Gold is a three-row, five-reels and 10 pay-lines slot from Blueprint and distributed by NextGen – the people behind Double Play Superbet – a game where you can win left to right and right to left.
The game’s icons are those symbols beloved of Irish game designers everywhere: a crock of Leprechaun’s magical gold, a Leprechaun’s green buckled hat, the national symbol of Ireland – the Celtic Harp, a pint of stout (you fill in the brand name!), a golden lucky horseshoe, toadstools (homes for the fairy folk perhaps), a Leprechaun’s pipe and a four leaf clover for luck.
Wild Ireland
Slots O’ Gold’s Wild is a friendly looking Leprechaun in full green who brings his smiling face to reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for all other symbols.
Each time the Wild lands on the middle three reels, he freezes the reel during a free spin and this can repeat if you can snare another Wild to help make more winning combos.
Ideally you have three Wild-ready reels frozen with Wilds; this is pretty tasty when it happens causing our green friend to leap across the reels to show his appreciation and generosity.
Look out for the Pots
Keep your eyes open for the Rainbow Gold icons that crop up randomly over the reels. When they land they become stacked and then transform into one of the icons randomly to help your potential winnings.
For the laid back slot player, Slot O Gold has an Auto-play function if you want to watch the reels roll by (this is not available in all jurisdictions).
Tey and land five of the special Jackpot King icons on each of the five reels on a pay-line as this nets you a decent haul.
Conclusion
After an enjoyable visit to Slots O’ Gold I can happily say it wins my accolades in the ”I’ll be back again” stakes. It is a worthy addition to the Irish genre of slots with the neat re-spin feature and that a tempting progressive jackpot.
