Play Emerald Isle for Free

Before beginning your exploration of the beautiful island, you need to select your stake. There are 20 paylines in this slot and these are fixed into position for every spin, giving you the maximum number of ways to win. You can alter your coin bet from €0.01 to €2.00 to give a minimum bet per spin of €0.20 and a maximum bet per spin of €40.00. This is a decent betting range so should suit all players, whatever their bankroll.

The theme transports players to the idyllic world of an Irish garden with birds singing in the background along with a peaceful tune, while a misty sunlit lake scene sits behind the reels. The symbols include a red-haired Irish woman, possibly a princess judging from the sparkling headdress, along with a rainbow symbol, a pot of gold coins, a smiling ginger-bearded leprechaun, and a bright green four-leaf clover.

The ginger-bearded leprechaun is the wild symbol in this game, awarding 6,000x your bet for 5 matching symbols and standing in for all the other symbols except the scattered rainbow to create more potential wins. The best regular symbol is the red-haired woman who pays 1500x your bet for 5 symbols, while the next symbols to watch for are the pot of gold coins and the four-leaf clover, which both pay 500x your bet for 5 matching symbols.

There are a few more wins waiting to be enjoyed from the lower-paying symbols, which are the high cards. The Ace and King both pay up to 150x your bet for 5 symbols, the Queen and Jack both pay up to 125x your bet for 5 symbols, while the 10 and 9 both pay 100x your bet for 5 matching symbols.

The rainbow symbol is the scatter and spinning 5 of these colourful icons anywhere on the reels together awards 100x your total bet. If you hit 3 or more rainbows appearing left to right you can trigger the free spins round. This means you get 10 free spins with tripled payouts.

This is a generous round which can be re-triggered for even more free spins. The multiplier award also means you have the chance to rack up some serious gold coin here if you manage to harness the luck of the Irish!

If the ginger-bearded leprechaun appears on reels 1 and 5 you launch the bonus game, which gives you the chance to win up to 500x your original bet! This fun game requires you open treasure chests to reveal the hidden prizes. If you find a matching amount in two of the wooden chests you win the amount displayed. Multipliers can also be revealed to increase your winnings.

Although this is a simple bonus game and the selections are all down to luck, you still have the chance to enjoy some big wins here if the Irish eyes are smiling on you.

Emerald Isle is a great slot machine for fans of Irish themes. The gentle atmospheric music plays in the background and each win is accompanied by an Irish jig. The loud jingles can actually be quite alarming as they interrupt the soft music and gentle birdsong quite dramatically, especially if you hit a ‘big win’ with the wild symbols!

The images in the game are evocative and colourful, while the wild leprechaun and scattered rainbow symbols arrive regularly to boost the payouts. The bonus game hit once during our session which provided us with some free spins along with a multiplier award, though we had to wait quite a while for this round to appear.

This slot is a fun Irish adventure with a pleasant theme, but there are not enough features here to entertain us for very long in the Emerald Isle.
