Lucky Penny is an old Irish custom when people were buying and selling farm animals. The seller would give the buyer some money for good luck. Usually, it was a penny. So, don’t start worrying when the leprechaun starts flipping his penny. It is not the same as with Harvey Dent in Batman.
The leprechaun will stand next to the reels and flip his coin. From time to time, he will throw coins on the reels. In the meanwhile, you will be situated in a gorgeous forest with golden fairies and lots of greenery.
Apart from keeping you company while you play the Lucky Penny pokie, the leprechaun also acts as a Scatter that triggers free spins. On the reels, you will come across familiar Irish symbols, such as lucky horseshoe, beer mug, pipe, and a bag the leprechaun uses for carrying shoes.
Low-paying icons are represented by precious gemstones. The Wild is there to substitute for all symbols but the Scatter and the multiplier symbols. Leprechaun adds multiplier symbols to the reels by throwing pennies.
You do not have to be an expert to learn how to play Lucky Penny slot. The 3 Oaks Gaming title is played on a 6×5 grid and pays anywhere. This means that you need to land at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid to get a payout.
Betting starts at $0.20. The maximum bet per spin is $25. If you hold the Spin button, you will activate the Turbo Spin option. You can also set the speed of the reels by clicking on the fast forward icon. If you get tired of hitting the Spin button, just click on Autoplay and let the machine do all the work.
According to the legend, it is not easy to discover a leprechaun. Once you find him and catch him, the creature is obliged to take you to his pot of gold. Unfortunately, the leprechaun from the Lucky Penny pokie will not deliver you his gold.
On the other hand, he will surprise you with various features, such as collapsing symbols, multiplier symbols, and free spins.
Each time you land a win, the winning symbols will disappear and new icons will come on the reels to help you land a new winning combo. This feature is active both in the base game and during free spins. Collapsing symbols are actually cascading reels, so there is nothing new here.
From time to time, both in the base game and during free spins, your leprechaun friend will toss a penny in the air. Sometimes, the penny will return to his hand. On other occasions, the penny will fall on the reels and turn random symbols into multiplier symbols.
The multiplier symbols can range from 2x to 1,000x. Each time the cascade ends, if you have a win, all the multipliers on the reels will activate and boost your win. I had plenty of luck with the multiplier symbols in the base game. Usually, the total multiplier was around 15x, which is not that bad.
When you land 4, 5, or 6 Scatters on the reels, you trigger 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. During the feature, you get 5 additional free spins for each 3+ Scatters. Each time you land a multiplier symbol and it results in a win, the multiplier is added to the total multiplier.
So, all multipliers you collect are combined and then they boost every winning spin. The biggest total multiplier I managed to collect was around 50x. I triggered free spins several times and each time my total win was 60x or more. However, I never landed the top 1,000x multiplier. It seems too hard.
For a price of 100x the bet, you can buy regular free spins. If you pay 500x the bet, you will get free spins with multiplier symbols going from 10x to 1,000x. In reality, it makes little difference whether you paid 100x or 500x. You rarely get your money back, and that’s why I do not like the Buy feature.
I am always happy to go on an adventure to the Emerald Isle and look for leprechauns and their pots of gold. I love Irish-themed pokies. Lucky Penny slot looks and sounds amazing. I love the fact that there is a leprechaun with you all the time. It reminds me of the fact that there could be multipliers on every spin.
Even so, do not trust his smiling face too much. As you probably know, leprechauns are not fond of sharing their gold. That’s probably why I never landed the 1,000x multiplier symbol. Not even the one carrying a 100x multiplier.
On the other hand, free spins triggered often and delivered decent payouts. All in all, Lucky Penny pokie is far from bad. I rate it 7.8.
