This slot’s paytable is split into two sets of symbols that all follow the Irish theme. The lower-value symbols are all Irish imagery. The BAR symbol and shamrock pay 1x your bet for five on a payline, the leprechaun hat pays 2x, and the harp pays 3.25x.
The higher value symbols are lucky 7s. Any combination of non-matching 7s pays 3.25x your bet for five on a payline; the single seven pays 7.5x, the double seven pays 20x, and the triple seven pays 37.5x.
The wild will substitute for all symbols except the scatter to help you complete winning combos. Landing five wild symbols on a payline will pay you 125x your bet.
Winning in 9 Pots of Gold is based on matching symbols across the game’s 20 fixed paylines. Paylines are pre-determined patterns on the reels, and a win is achieved when or more identical symbols land on adjacent reels from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.
9 Pots of Gold has two powerful bonus features that both pack plenty of winning potential. You can score big with free spins and scatter pays.
When you land three or more scatters on the three middle reels, a bonus wheel will appear.
You must spin this wheel to get 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, or 30 free spins. During free spins, a 2x multiplier will apply to all wins, except if you got 25 or 30 free spins, in which case, a 3x multiplier will apply.
The special Pot scatter symbol might not trigger free spins, but it comes with its own winning bonus.
Landing 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 pot scatters on the same spin will award you 1x, 5x, 15x, 40x, 100x, 500x, or 2,000x your bet, respectively. Any Pot Pays wins that you get during free spins will not have a multiplier applied to them.
The biggest prize you can claim from a single spin is worth up to 2,000 your bet. You can reach this by landing 9 Pot scatters on the same spin.
The Return to Player (RTP) rate for 9 Pots of Gold is 96.24%, which is the average amount the game is expected to pay back to players over time. The game has medium volatility, offering a balance between frequent smaller wins and the potential for larger payouts.
The visual design of 9 Pots of Gold is bright and cheerful, with a distinctly Irish theme. The reels are set against a vibrant green background, and the symbols are colourful and detailed. The upbeat soundtrack complements the theme, creating an enjoyable and festive atmosphere.
Playing a free demo of a slot you want to try lets you enjoy all the features, mechanics, and gameplay without any of the financial risks. This is because demos come with a bottomless supply of free credits, so you can spin endlessly without worrying about your bankroll.
9 Masks of Fire was one of the earliest slots to popularize the scatter pays feature, and it took the industry by storm with its fiery African tribal theme. Feel the Beat with Hyper Strike, a disco-inspired slot with a bright, flashy theme and impressive winning potential. Fire Strike 2 turns up the winning heat with special Firestrike symbols that can get you cash prizes and a huge jackpot.
9 Pots of Gold might be a copy of 9 Masks of Fire, but it stands apart well enough so that players who prefer the Irish theme feel like they have a unique game on their hands. The Pot Pays feature is the star of the show because it can instantly deliver the slot’s top prize, but I was still excited to trigger free spins to see if I could hit the magical combo of 30 free spins with a 3x multiplier.
