There’s a distinctly Irish feel about Golden Shamrock, one of Net Entertainment‘s recent online slot releases which combines some fantastic Net Ent graphics with a touch of Irish mysticism. As you might expect, leprechauns feature highly in this attractive-looking game but that’s not the only good thing about it.

Golden Shamrock’s reels are contained within the twisting branches of a huge tree and in the background there’s a blue sky and clouds hovering over green fields.  Bags of gold labelled Q, K and A are the lowest value symbols and then we have an accordion, a couple of pints of beer, a large pipe, a leprechauns hat, a harp, a golden horseshoe and a pot of gold.

The wild symbol is one of our ginger-haired leprechauns and the scatter symbol is the golden shamrock – this is the key to the bonus game.

Bonus Features

Expanding Wild

If you are lucky enough to land the leprechaun symbol on reels two, three or four and it contributes to a winning payline, the symbol will expand to cover all the symbols on that reel.  This is good news and it means the chances of creating more winning combinations are greatly increased.

Free Spins

The free spins round is the main bonus game and you get to trigger it by landing three of the golden shamrock scatter symbols anywhere on the reels in standard gameplay.

The three symbols will be lit up and you must now pick one which will reveal the number of free spins and the multiplier which will apply to the bonus round.  Click ‘Start Free Spins’ to get the round underway and watch the prizes hopefully roll in; if you land two golden shamrocks on any spin you’ll get to pick again for some more free spins – check it out in the video below.

Verdict

The attention to detail by Net Ent is always impressive and the graphics in Golden Shamrock are lovely; it’s a cheery little game with a fairly standard bonus game but the animations and Irish background music will keep you coming back for more.
