Le Prechaun

How to Play

Coin Tiers

The header above the reels shows the four Coin tiers a Rainbow can reveal, Bronze at 0.2x to 4x, Silver at 5x to 10x, Gold at 20x to 50x, and Diamond at 100x to 500x, and a Position Multiplier on a Coin’s square multiplies the Coin once it is revealed. A win needs at least 5 of the same symbol, joined side to side or top to bottom.

The tiers are not smooth ranges. A Bronze Coin shows 0.2x, 0.4x, 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x, and a Silver one 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, or 10x. Gold is 20x, 30x, 40x, or 50x, and Diamond offers only 100x, 150x, 250x, or 500x. Both RainbowRide settings and Shamrock ‘N’ Roll raise every Coin to at least 1x, so the Bronze values under 1x drop out there.

Clover Multipliers

Marks reach further than the Coins. A mark under a Clover multiplies the Clover’s own figure once it is revealed, and a mark under a Bag of Gold or Pot of Gold multiplies it once it has gathered its total, so a Diamond Coin that already shows 100x to 500x can meet one mark on the Coin’s square and another on the Bag or Pot that gathers it.

Clovers change Coins instead of paying on their own. A Green Clover multiplies the Coins, Bags, and Pots on the squares around it by x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, or x20, and a Gold Clover applies the same range to every one on the board. A Clover with nothing beside it waits until there is something on the board to multiply. FS shields, Rainbows, and Epic Rainbows never land together, so a spin that triggers a bonus can’t also open its Golden Squares.

Slot RTP

Le Prechaun’s bet starts at €0.05 and stops at €50. The RTP is 96.28%. Every buy price is a multiple of whichever bet is chosen, so a bigger bet makes the whole menu more expensive.

Paytable

The 10, J, Q, K, and A pay alike at every cluster size, and the Wild has no row of its own.

Detailed Review

Smokey in a Green Hat

The Position Multiplier is the reason to play Le Prechaun, because it gives the Wild a second job that outlasts its own win and, in the bonuses, outlasts the spin. Earlier Le games built on the Rainbow rely on its Coins and the multipliers and collectors that follow, so a big result depends on how many Golden Squares are open when a Rainbow arrives; in this game, a square a Wild has won on more than once already has a doubled mark before any Coin is revealed, and a Coin opened on that square takes it on.

The multiplying rule is what separates the idea from a simple sticky multiplier. Marks multiply each other within a cluster, and they multiply the Rainbow’s prizes on their squares as well, so in Arc Adventure or Clover the Top, where every mark survives to the last spin, the board slowly turns into a map of where Wilds have been and where the bar has dropped its marks. The Lucky Charm Bar feeds the same engine, placing marks at its first two levels before Level 3 turns every later spin into a Rainbow spin. The bonuses are built on the tension of a mark climbing while the bar edges toward its next level, and a bonus that never fills the bar’s first level leaves most of that unused.

The weigh-up is mostly about regular play. Outside the bonuses, each mark disappears when the spin ends, so the new rule reaches no further than the cascades and Coins of that same spin, and a Coin pays nothing without a Rainbow to reveal it. The top hat needs 14 or more copies for its 200x, and the 10 to A pay 0.2x for five, so the cluster table exists to feed Wilds and Golden Squares rather than to decide the game by itself. The 15,000x cap is open in every mode, including regular play, and Shamrock ‘N’ Roll, which starts where the other two bonuses hope to finish, only comes from five scatters.

This review ends on a slot whose best idea is still growing. A few bonuses in free play explain it faster than the rules do, because the marks show exactly where the multipliers are building. If the series continues after this one, Position Multipliers look like the rule worth keeping.
