Gameplay Review: Irish Eyes

Ireland has captured the imagination of Great Britain since the age of Cromwell and his gang of roundheads, becoming a rich source of mystery, myth and legend in the process. In fact, there may not be any other country in the world that holds such a fantastical status, at least not in England. Leprechauns, pots of gold, four-leaved clovers… Irish culture is steeped in magic folklore that, more often than not, results in an excellent monetary fortune. It all sounds like suspiciously good material for an online slot, and there is therefore no wonder that Irish themed video slots dominate the market. Irish Eyes may just be the pick of the bunch… 

About Irish Eyes and its Bonus Features 

As you will be expecting, Irish Eyes looks to the Emerald Isle in inspiration for its backdrop, and it ends up with one of the nicest looking landscapes we have seen across the vast catalogue of Ireland themed slot games. Behind the 5 reels and 25 pay-lines slot gamblers will encounter a road surrounded by luscious rolling fields, with a rainbow just about perceptible at the end. What lies at the end of the rainbow? You will have to keep playing Irish Eyes in order to find that one out. The symbols you can expect to encounter include the high-paying card symbols, four-leaved clovers, rainbows, pots full to the brim with gold, an Irish lady and, of course, a leprechaun. 

This in itself is not too far off the wide variety of other Irish themed slot games, but things get a lot more different when you begin to explore all the bonus features associated with Irish Eyes. For instance, land the scatter symbol (an Irish lady) and you will be granted up to 12 free spin games, all with a wicked 3x multiplier. Furthermore, if you have the luck to encounter a leprechaun on the first and last reels you will be through to the Pick and Win round. There are a variety of prizes on offer here, including a win 100x the size of your initial wager.
