Fateful Fortune Leprechaun review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

Top of the mornin' to ye! Are you ready to go in search of a lucky four-leaf clover? How about a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Made by Triple Cherry, this Irish-themed slot certainly delivers a fun and entertaining experience.

If you're familiar with Irish-themed games, there are no real surprises here. The background is very, very green, with plenty of four-leaf clovers and even a colorful rainbow to set the scene. The animations are limited, but the soundtrack sure makes up for that with one of the best, most danceable jigs we've ever heard. The theme music sounds like something straight out of a traditional Irish pub!

Gameplay

The gameplay here is about as simple as can be: Fateful Fortune Leprechaun has five reels and three rows, with a total of 25 paylines. Matching symbols pay on adjacent reels from left to right on one of those paylines. Look out for the golden four-leaf clover and the horseshoe, which pay the biggest wins, while you'll also get lucky if you land the beer mugs, the hat, or the pipe. The A, K, Q, J, and 10 symbols award smaller wins.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The cheerful little leprechaun acts as the Wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols except the Bonus icon. The Wild Boost symbol can appear to fill an entire reel, bringing with it a 3x Multiplier, while if it only fills two spots, the Multiplier is 2x.

If you get six or more of the special Direct Prize symbols on the grid at the same time, you'll open up the Link Bonus, where the aim is to fill the entire grid with symbols to win the Royal Bonus of 2,000x. There are also five other jackpot prizes up for grabs, ranging from 20x to 1,000x.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

The minimum stake amount is $/€/£0.30 per spin, which is a little higher than we're accustomed to seeing. The maximum stake is pretty low, at just $/€/£20, but with a max win of 2,000x your stake, you can still stand a chance to bag a decent payout.

Now onto the bad news. Fateful Fortune Leprechaun has a very low default Return to Player (RTP) percentage of just 88.11%. This is significantly below the slot game average of 96%. The slot's volatility is rated as 4/5, which puts it on the higher end of the spectrum, resulting in bigger wins, although they tend to be pretty spread out.

Conclusion

We have nothing against slots that look a little retro and that lack modern animations. We're also big fans of jackpot prizes, plus, who could say no to an Irish-themed game? But there's one big factor that really drags Fateful Fortune Leprechaun down, and that's the low RTP. And while we know that a high RTP doesn't necessarily translate into wins during any specific gaming session, it's hard for us to justify recommending a slot where the RTP is so far below average.
