It’s available on desktop and mobile devices from 20p to £240 per spin. 9 Pots of Gold has an RTP of 96.24%, slightly higher than the industry average of 96%. It has medium volatility, so expect small to medium wins to appear more frequently.
9 Pots of Gold Features
9 Pots of Gold includes Pot Pays, Wild Symbols and a Free Spins bonus round.
Wild Symbols
The Mushroom symbol is the Wild symbol and substitutes all symbols except the scatter and pot symbols. The Wild can also land as a stacked symbol, increasing the chances of hitting multiple paylines in a single spin.
Pot Pays Feature
The Pot Pays feature awards instant cash prizes. It triggers when 3 or more Pot symbols land on a single spin. The more pots, the bigger the prize:
3 Pots – 1x the bet
4 Pots – 5x the bet.
5 Pots – 15x the bet
6 Pots – 40x the bet.
7 Pots – 100x the bet.
8 Pots – 500x the bet.
9 Pots – 1,000x the bet
The Pot Pays is active during the base game and free spins, delivering plenty of chances to score big wins.
Free Spins
The free spins trigger when a scatter lands on reels 2, 3 and 4. Along with a 1x multiplier, you get a spin on the Free Spins Wheel. Prizes on the wheel include a set of free spins plus a multiplier:
10 free spins with a 2x multiplier
12 free spins with a 2x multiplier
15 free spins with a 2x multiplier
20 free spins with a 2x multiplier
25 free spins with a 3x multiplier
30 free spins with a 3x multiplier
The free spins round can be retriggered with more scatters. The number of free spins on a retrigger equals the number awarded on the initial trigger. For instance, when the free spins are triggered for the first time, and 10 free spins are awarded, a retrigger would award 10 free spins.
Conclusion
9 Pots of Gold is an excellent slot with a typical Irish theme and a range of features to enhance the gameplay and the prize pot.
The Pot Pays feature can award up to 2,000x the bet, but the wild is the most lucrative symbol. A grid full of Wilds awards 2,500x the bet. With medium volatility and medium variance, 9 Pots of Gold is a slot worth a spin or two. Although it’s not altogether groundbreaking, it packs a punch.
