Play Paddy's Pub for Free

Saint Patrick’s Day is approaching, and what better place to celebrate it than Paddy’s Pub? The reels are cleverly set within the high windows of this very honourable establishment, with golden and green decorations all around them. The 3D graphics that the Booming Games developers have used with Paddy’s Pub are surprisingly convincing, giving the whole experience a nice realistic touch.

Many Irish slot games have a bit of a cartoonish atmosphere, with leprechauns jumping over rainbows and chasing after pots of gold. Paddy’s Pub tones down the Irish stereotypes a little bit, which is something we really appreciated. Fans of the genre will still find plenty of familiar all over the game screen, though.

Paddy’s Pub only has 3 reels and 5 paylines, with a betting range starting at 0.05 credits per spin. You can go up to 100 credits in total, which is comfortable enough to accommodate most players out there. Pick a wager and spin the reels when you are ready to go, or use the autoplay game mode to keep the game going. Paddy’s Pub also features a handy turbo mode, which lets you keep on playing turn by turn, but simply speeds up the game altogether.

The rather low variance of the game lets you grab some small cash prizes frequently. The paytable itself is made up of violins, people celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day, the mandatory leprechauns and other elements, with a top reward of only x40. You will need to rely on the bonus features quite heavily in order to score the most interesting rewards that the game has to offer.

The last 3 symbols of Paddy’s Pub behave differently from the rest. Three scattered pints of ale around the reels can award 10 free spins and 25 times your wager at the same time, for example. The wilds take the shape of luck four-leaf clovers, ready to replace the other icons on the reels. A combination of 3 wilds also triggers an extra cash prize of x100.

The pot of gold is the most original bonus symbol of Paddy’s Pub. Whenever you find one on the reels, the symbols will rotate around it by 90 degrees, clockwise. This will reshuffle the entire reel set, giving you a chance to score many more new winning combinations. The outcome is totally random, but triggering this bonus feature is always quite exciting.

If you enjoy Irish-themed slot games, then you have plenty of titles that you can choose from. Games like Irish Gold by Play’n Go or Irish Eyes from NextGen offer a large variety of rules and hidden bonuses, all with a very similar theme. And these are only two obvious names from a very large family of slot games. Paddy’s Lucky Mine by Cayetano sounds quite similar to Paddy’s Pub at first, but offers a very different gameplay, if you check. With 20 paylines and up to 15 free spins available, Paddy’s Lucky Mine could be considered a slightly easier alternative to Paddy’s Pub – without that fun rotating bonus, however.

Paddy’s Pub ended up being more dynamic and fun than we were expecting at first. The small reel set does restrict your options quite a bit, but triggering one of the bonus features of the game proved relatively easy right from the beginning. This makes Paddy’s Pub an unpredictable and fun slot game for all players. Take advantage of the large betting range and place as many credits as you can on the reels. This will turn even the most common winning combinations into real gold mines. Also, keep in mind that the rotating bonus can be a lot of fun, but it does not guarantee a cash prize at all. The free spins, however, can prove more generous in the long term.
