Wazdan Launches Larry the Leprechaun Online Slot

iGamers look forward to lucrative liaison with Larry the Leprechaun Slot.

Wazdan Gaming is one of those smaller independent gambling software studios that I have really come to admire. They’ve risen from the doldrums of one of the world’s most competitive industries, making a name for themselves not by gregarious marketing tactics, but by delivering an ultimately entertaining product of superior quality; one that’s easily capable of rivaling the world’s largest leading digital slot machine creators.

The European firm has announced the release of its latest creation, Larry the Leprechaun Online Slot. Yes, I know what you’re thinking – it’s an unseasonable launch. We expect Irish / leprechaun themed slot machines to launch just before spring, when St. Patrick’s Day is approaching. But Wazdan is of the opinion that the “luck of the Irish” should be enjoyed all year round.

Larry the Leprechaun made its way into Wazdan casinos at the tail-end of June 2019, and is now available at LeoVegas Mobile and other online casino powered by the digital gaming brand. It’s got a unique reel set that spans 4×4 reels, where wins are based upon the appearance of 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels, rather than traditional left-to-right paylines.

Wazdan Head of Sales, Andrzej Hyla, comments:

“Larry the Leprechaun is one of many games recently released by Wazdan and one which we are extremely proud of. Bundled into this enchanted slot game are first-class graphics, rich player experiences and the full force of our Unique Wazdan Features. We anticipate Larry the Leprechaun to quickly establish itself as a favourite amongst players and operators alike.”

Larry the Leprechaun Slot Review

Larry is a leisurely leprechaun who resides in the lush wooded terrain of Ireland, presiding over the reels in his very own slot machine where players hope to unlock the wealth of his pot of gold. Not just a pot of gold, but an entire trove of gleaming treasures.

The game’s icons include an assemblage of the usual Irish-themed symbols. His lucky hat, pipe and tankard of ale, valuable coins and bags of mysterious value make up the high-paying variety, with playing card values on the low side.

There are no paylines in this games. Winning combinations are paid when any matching symbols appears in at any 8 or more positions on a single spin. Think of it as all symbols paying like scatters. Any position will do! When wilds appear, they take the place of any symbol necessary to trigger the highest paying win possible.

whenever enough symbols appear to strike a winning combination, all of those symbols are held in place for one free respin before the win is paid out. If more matching symbols and/or wilds appear, it increases the value of the payout.

Larry the Leprechaun Bonus Features

There are two types of coins – gold and silver – plus a magic sack bonus symbol, therefore three ways to trigger a bonus in this online slot machine. Coins and sacks are collected in three smaller grids off to the right and left of the reels. Each time a coins lands in a position on the main reels, it fills that position within its respective matrix table – kind of like marking a bingo card. With magic sacks, it’s the quantity that matters, not the position. Once a matrix is full, the corresponding bonus can be triggered.

Leprechaun’s Bonus Spins: When enough gold coins are collected in its matrix table, it activates the ability to trigger free spins. Once active, the player must spin 5+ gold coins onto the reels at once. Doing so awards 16 Leprechaun’s Bonus Spins, but they’re not free spins. Each bonus spin costs one stake.

All wilds that appear during the bonus hold in place for the rest of the bonus spins. Standard and wild symbols do not combine for wins during these spins. The pay table pays out at the end of the bonus according to the number of wilds on the reels; up to 2,500x the stake for all 16.

Magic Sack Bonus: To the left of the reels is a Magic Sack matrix that can hold up to 8 sacks. Once filled, landing 1 more magic sack bonus symbol triggers this feature. Like the Leprechaun’s Bonus Spins, these do cost one stake per spin, and do not award prizes for standard symbol+wild combinations, instead holding all wilds that appear in place. This time, one low-paying symbol is chosen per spin to transform into magic sacks, which become wilds. A collective payout based on the number of wilds is paid at the end.

Free Spins Bonus: When the matrix table fills with silver coins, the player is capable of triggering 16 free spins the next time 5+ silver coins land on the reels. These are traditional free spins, paying out all winnings collectively when the bonus is over.
