Just for the Win, in partnership with Microgaming, have released a new Irish themed slot called Emerald Gold. Features include free spins, scatters with instant cash prizes, wilds and a top prize worth x25,000 your wager.There are an abundance of Irish themed slots, but this one delivers larger prizes than most and has an RTP of 96.12%

Slot details

Compatible to play across all devices, Emerald Gold is a high variance slot with 5 reels and 40 paylines, and wagering starts from 10p up to £20 per spin.The game takes place in a valley shrouded in mist, with symbols including glasses of beer, rings, clovers, lucky horseshoes, single, double and treble bars and blue lucky 7’s. The latter will pay out x30 your wager for landing 5 on a payline.The wild symbol is the gold W and can substitute all others barring the 4 leaf clover scatter and the gold top hat bonus symbol.

Gameplay

Landing 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 scatter symbols awards you with x1, x5, x15, x25, x5, x100, x250 or x2,500 your wager respectively. If you are lucky enough to land 12 scatter symbols, you will receive a whopping x25,000 your wager.The bonus round comes into play when you land 3 of the gold top hats on the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th reels. You will receive 3 respins which reset each time you land a scatter on the reels. The scatters will be collected and tallied up at the end of the bonus round and paid out accordingly.

Verdict

I think this slot is better than some of the others of the same genre, due to the maximum payout of x25,000 your wager. The top prize is sure to attract players to give it a spin or two.
