Leprechaun Tales Slots
It looks like Genesis Gaming is hoping to bring you the luck of the Irish with Leprechaun Tales, one of their more basic video slots, but an entertaining 5 reels all the same. Despite the fact that Ireland and its notorious good luck is a popular theme for slot machines, this is the first game of this type that we’ve come across from the brand. In some respects, that makes it extra special as there are few others to the label’s name. Yet, at the same time, you have a standard setup to interact with, which takes away from the impact of the game.
Speaking of setup, this is one of Genesis Gaming’s smaller real cash slots, with only 25 winlines to its name, though that does mean you can decrease them at will. Usually they opt for ways to play, which while freeing, also means you’re restricted in your customization of the game. That issue doesn’t apply here, which some of you will readily welcome with open arms. Due to the depth of the aesthetics and the level of specials delivered inside the gameplay, we’d say a smaller set of paylines suits this slot down to the ground. It’s tiny in size, like a Leprechaun.
Little Green Men
What would an Ireland inspired slot be without images of little green men – it would be nowhere, that’s what. Sometimes moving away from stereotyping is good for a game, but when the title itself sets a certain picture, you can’t very well introduce a luminous pink interface to engage with. That being said, Genesis could have gone more flashy with the execution of this one, as it’s a bit weak willed, something the Irish aren’t known for.
You’re presented with a sea of green and gold, with most of the symbols of a card value, while the remaining appear to be (drunken) men. As you’d expect, gold is also found upon the reels, though it isn’t as abundant as you might have thought – the premise being that perhaps you have to work for it? Whatever the reason for dialling back the gold icons on the matrix, we’re liking the move.
First They Made the Wheel
Okay, so leprechauns didn’t invent the wheel, but the ones in Leprechaun Tales sort of created the wheel you’ll see during the bonus rounds, so our joke sort of counts. Just a little. In all seriousness though, the fact that the special feature isn’t your expected ‘here’s 5 spins off you go’, shows that while Genesis may not have jazzed up the interface, they have their gameplay. Don’t get us wrong, there are still free games to be had here, but you interact more in order to get them.
Users will be shown a wheel, of which there are many segments; your job is to spin it and wait until the arrow lands on one of the wedges, which then triggers your reward. Like we’ve already said, you’re going to get spins here, but the number has greatly increased, up to as many as 30, and you can get as much as a x5 multiplier thrown in. Though, as you’ve probably gathered, the higher the number of rounds, the higher the multiplier, and so low level wins will leave you wanting. In terms on minimum and maximum bet levels, you’re looking at 0.25 and 250.00 here.
Different Shade of Green
Green color palettes must be in your blood, for you can also experience all the joys of this Irish slot (minus the Irish theme) when you try out Reptile Riches. As this is a title from Genesis, you’ll be getting an exact match in gameplay, controls and so on, making this the ultimate home from home gaming experience.
We get that you may want to try other titles, but sometimes sticking with what you love is what makes gaming so much fun. And don’t we all have a favorite theme or dynamic that we search out when we try new games? We know that we do.
Turning Green
Leprechaun Tales is a middling slot machine that has a low impact 3x5 grid, but with a more enticing bonus round when compared with other Genesis activities. We wouldn’t say you’ll be jumping for joy every time you play, but you’ll definitely enjoy what’s on offer, and can win a substantial amount of money back. Just remember though – you can turn green if you play for too long, such is the influence of those pesky leprechauns.
