Okay, I am not saying that Patrick the Leprechaun is actually St. Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland, but you get the connection, eh? Our Patrick lives on a lovely glade in the middle of the forest. Every day, he sits next to the wishing well, smoking his pipe.
If you are smart enough and manage to trick Patrick, he will grant you some of his gold coins. Also, you are free to make a wish at the wishing well. However, it will be entirely up to you whether your wish comes true or not.
The overall visual appearance of the Patrick’s Luck: Hold the Spin pokie is breathtaking. A wonderful glade surrounded by green trees, crystal-blue sky, and a rainbow on top of everything. While you play the game, you will enjoy the sounds of traditional Irish music.
Patrick appears as the top-paying regular symbol. On the reels, you will also find his pots of gold, beer mugs, pipes, as well as different fruit. Golden coins and golden clovers are Scatters that trigger the Bonus Game. As for the Wild, it substitutes for all regular symbols.
Patrick’s Luck: Hold the Spin slot comes with 3 reels and a 3-5-3 formation. You can benefit from 45 paylines. All you need to do is land 3 matching icons on a payline and you will win a payout. It’s as simple as that.
Before you start spinning the reels, set your bet somewhere between $0.20 and $100. Also, you can set the speed of your reels. When you get tired of hitting the Spin button, go to Autoplay and activate up to 250 automatic spins. The Gamzix title is of medium volatility and offers a 5,450x maximum payout. Patrick’s Luck: Hold the Spin RTP is 96.04%.
Everything in Patrick’s Luck: Hold the Spin pokie machine revolves around the Bonus Game. However, you can also win plenty while waiting for the Bonus Game to be triggered. Symbols tend to land in stacks, thus helping you form winning combos. You will appreciate this when you get Stacked Wilds on the middle reel.
Gold coins land only on reels 1 and 3, while the clover Scatter appears only on the central reel. When you get 2 gold coins and a clover on the grid at the same time, you trigger the Bonus Game, or the Hold the Spin feature.
All symbols are removed except for the triggering Scatters. Coins carry certain values that are added to the clover. After that, coins disappear, while the clover turns into a Sticky Symbol. The clover remains on the grid until the feature ends and collects all values from coins that appear.
You get 3 respins. Each time a new Scatter lands, the number of respins resets to 3. You can land up to 5 clovers on the middle reel. Each clover will collect values from every coin that appears and will remain on the grid until you use all of your response.
It took me around 200 spins to trigger the Bonus Game for the first time. Another 200 to trigger it again. I played 500 spins of the Patrick’s Luck: Hold the Spin pokie and I triggered the feature 3 times. Each time, I won a decent amount. The lowest I got was 45x, while the highest total win is 95x.
This feature is triggered randomly. Each time you land a coin or a clover, it adds gold to the pot on top of the reels. At a certain point, this can trigger the Bonus Game randomly. Unfortunately, I never managed to trigger the feature this way.
I have tested several Gamzix pokies until now and most of them come with the Hold the Spin Bonus Game, which is basically the Hold and Win feature.
When comparing the Patrick’s Luck: Hold the Spin pokie to, for example, Only Coins and Tiger Pot: Hold the Spin, the one including Patrick the Leprechaun is my favourite Gamzix title.
However, I need to repeat that, for an action junkie, a pokie machine needs to come with more extras.
Also, even though the Bonus Game was pretty generous to me, it took me so long to trigger the feature, which can be frustrating.
All in all, I rate Patrick’s Luck: Hold the Spin 8.0.
