Drive to Fishguard, catch the ferry to Dublin and you’ll find yourself in the Republic of Ireland where you can avail yourself of Guinness and Celtic music until the cows come home; alternatively, stay at home and fire up this Irish-themed online from Nextgen Gaming for a similar experience. It’s called Emerald Isle and it comes with two separate bonus features.

Emerald Isle is a five reel slot with three rows and twenty fixed paylines; the gold-rimmed reels are extremely ornate, accessorised with pink flowers and they sit against a backdrop of a lake, trees and of course a hazy blue sky.

There are three high value symbols comprising the red-haired girl, the pot of gold and the four leaf clover; 9, 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.

The leprechaun is the wild and he’ll replace all others except the rainbow scatter symbol which is the key to the main feature.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three or more of the rainbow symbols consecutively from left to right; you will now receive ten free spins with all wins subject to a 3x multiplier (as you can see from the video above).

Landing three more rainbows during this round will retrigger the spins.

Leprechaun Bonus

Trigger this by landing the leprechaun wild symbol on reels one and five in the same spin. This is a picking round where you have to select treasure chests to find two matching amounts. You may be lucky enough to find a multiplier of up to 500x your total bet.

Gamble Feature

Each win can be gambled by using the hearts/clubs button on the right hand side; you now have the opportunity to double or quadruple that win by guessing the colour or suit of the next card draw.

Verdict

Emerald Isle is a perfectly playable addition to the growing number of Irish-themed slots available and the free spins have the potential for some big wins if you can trigger them. It comes with an RTP of 96.59%.
