9 Pots of Gold Pokie

The reviewed online casino game is played on 5 reels and 20 fixed lines so all players need to do is to place a bet. The bet settings are adjustable within a very broad range starting from NZ$0.01 and up to NZ$12 per line. This range makes the pokie acceptable and interesting to play for everyone including players on a budget as well as high rollers ready to wager up to NZ$240 per spin. In online casinos supporting bitcoin as a payment option bets may be placed in bitcoin. There are eight non-feature icons, wilds, scatters, free spin symbols and rainbows. Non-feature icons are Bars, Clovers, Leprechaun’s Hats, Irish Harps, Lucky Sevens, Double Sevens and Triple Sevens. These symbols pay from left to right starting from the leftmost reel when there are 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on any line. They award between x5 and x750 a line bet or up to NZ$9,000 at the maximum bet. Although this is a 5-reel pokie, it pays like a 3-reel pokie in some cases: any mixed three 7s on a line (e.g. 7, 77 and 777) award x10 and x65 a line bet or up to NZ$780. Amanita mushrooms may be deadly in real life but they are rather useful and bona fide things in the land of Leprechaun. Amanitas are wilds in this game. Wild symbols substitute for any non-feature symbol when they land in a line combination but they never do this for scatters or free spin symbols. Wild symbols also pay a really massive award: landing 3, 4 or 5 Wilds on any of 20 available paylines adds x125, x500 or even x2,500 to the balance. In money terms, this is between NZ$1,500 and NZ$30,000 at the maximum stake. Famous pots full of gold coins found at the end of the rainbow are scatters. They may pop up on any reel during the base game and in a free spins mode. Their paytable makes them the best paying symbols in the game. Probably, this is why the scatter paytable is constantly on display on the left side of the reels. Landing 3 to 9 Pots on the reels awards x1 to x2,000 a total bet or up to NZ$480,000 if the bet is set at the maximum value and the slot machine is played for real money. This nearly half a million dollar award makes the pokie one of the hottest games to play in online casinos accepting players from New Zealand. The pokie is equipped with a free spin bonus yet it is not triggered by scatters as it is in many other video pokies. There is a special trigger and for a good reason. It is a little green wheel of fortune decorated with gold coins with a clover leaf. It appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only and when there are 3 Wheels they pay x1 the total bet and award one spin of the Wheel. This spin reveals the number of free spins to play and a win multiplier.

Having landed three Wheels, a player is granted one wheel spin. The Wheel has 10 wedges, each offering a certain number of free spins and a win multiplier. The weakest offer is 10 free spins with a x2 win multiplier, the best option is 30 free spins with a x3 win multiplier. A multiplier won on the bonus wheel is effective in every free spin and applies to all line wins obtained during free spins. It means that the best payout of non-feature symbols during free spins may amount to x2,250 a line bet and Wilds may award up to x7,500 a line bet. The win multiplier does not though apply to scatter awards. There is an extra bonus: the Free Spins feature is retriggerable. To play extra free spins, a player needs to land at least 3 green Wheels on reels 3, 4 and 5 during free spins. If this happens, the game awards the same number of FS as in the initial round.
