Play Shamrock 'n' Roll for Free

According to Irish folklore, there is nothing more lucky than finding a leprechaun. Fortunately for you spinners, there are plenty of leprechauns to be found as you turn the 5 reels of Shamrock 'n' Roll. In fact, this could be your lucky day, because you will also find a couple of other lucky charms such as a four-leaved clover and an upside down horseshoe. There is also a glowing Irish harp and a very generous looking pot of gold too – just to give you an idea of what you could win.

Graphics-wise, this slot machine presents a vast spectrum of colours with a background which shows verdant green grass, deep blue skies and a dazzling rainbow. The reel symbols themselves are sharply rendered to present the images in the utmost clarity and there is an extra bit of sparkle thanks to some gold-plated card icons. Even the game's backing music is bright and vibrant with its traditional Irish folk instruments.

With 25 paylines available to play with, Shamrock 'n' Roll offers every opportunity for some winning spins. The downside of this is that the overall payout schedule is somewhat less generous than other Nektan software games; the maximum jackpot that any spinner can win is therefore limited to 1,000 coins when the maximum line bet of 1 coin is placed as a wager.

That top win will be awarded when players line up five matching “Shamrock 'n' Roll” logos on an active payline. The next most valuable icon is the pot of gold symbol, which will offer no more than 500 coins followed by the harp, five of which are worth 400 coins. The four-leaf clover will pay up to 250 while five horseshoes make for 150 coins. The golden playing card symbols – 10, J, Q, K and A – award less lucrative wins, albeit on a more frequent basis. Such low valued wins range from as high as 125 coins to 80 coins for five matching symbols.

Leprechauns are known for their trickery, so keep an eye out for the little scamp as you spin the reels of this slot machine. That said, this little fella might just lead you to your very own pot of gold since he will replace other game symbols to fill in winning lines. In fact, this wild leprechaun symbol can be very useful for players who just need that one missing link between an unfruitful spin and a golden jackpot win.

Like many other Nektan games, there isn't much in the way of special bonus elements to Shamrock 'n' roll. But, as always, there is a chance for punters to enjoy some free spins. Simply find three of the game's scatter icons to begin your stake-free betting action.

This slot machine may lack any big bonus appeal, but it does have one big draw – the fact that it is finely tuned to be played on mobile devices. As you will find out, the game is not like most other online slots because as well as being bereft of bonuses, it also lacks a control panel. Instead, you will have you tap and roll your fingers to choose your wagers in the “Stake & Lines” menu before you hit the spin button – represented by a circular arrow icon.

With this in mind, there perhaps isn't any need for narrative gimmicks or bonus action. Because, in reality this game is meant to provide a quick fix for spinners who are always on the move. As such, you can dip in and out of the action as and when you please without getting bogged down in superfluous side games.

Just like the little leprechauns of this game, Shamrock 'n' Roll is meant to be played on little screens. Therefore it has left out all of the extra gameplay elements that you might find on other slot machines in the genre like Leprechauns Luck. Instead, the focus is solely of making sure that punters can enjoy a visually awesome game with smooth and easy fingertip spinning action.
