A leprechaun’s grin, a fiddle riff that loops every twelve seconds, and a 5×4 grid stacked beside not one but three Fortune Play reel sets glowing green to the right. Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Play 3 is the third entry in Blueprint Gaming’s long-running shamrock series, released in 2024, and it lifts the same Rainbow Riches-adjacent palette that has carried the franchise since the original Luck O’ The Irish landed in 2014.
Where the first two games leaned on a single bonus wheel and a coin-collection round respectively, this iteration packs in mystery symbols, four cashpots and the Fortune Play side-reels system that has become a Blueprint staple. Spinning a few rounds on the demo loaded below is the cleanest way to compare it to the older entries before any real-money commitment. See our wider Blueprint Gaming slot reviews for context on the studio’s catalogue.
The original 2014 Luck O’ The Irish was a 20-line slot built around a wheel-of-fortune bonus and a Big Bet ante feature. Luck O’ The Irish Go Wild followed with sticky wilds and an expanded multiplier ladder. Fortune Play 3 keeps the 5×4 layout and 20 fixed winlines that loyal players will recognise, then layers on the studio’s newer Fortune Play architecture: two extra reel sets that mirror the main grid, with mystery symbols rippling across all three when triggered. The result feels closer to a modern Megaways-era release than to either predecessor, while the audio and symbol set hold the line on the franchise’s familiar pub-quiz Irish theming.
The Luck O’ The Irish logo acts as the mystery symbol. When it appears, all logo positions transform into a single matching symbol drawn from the paytable, which can include premiums, royals or the special Money Spins triggers. Land three or more leprechauns, cashpots and coin symbols in any combination, and the Money Spins round activates: a hold-and-respin board where coin values stick and the four cashpot tiers sit waiting at the top.
Cashpot prizes are fixed multiples of the triggering bet, not progressive jackpots. MEGA pays 1,000x, MAJOR 100x, MINOR 25x and MINI 10x. At a £2 stake, those values translate to £2,000, £200, £50 and £20 respectively. The MEGA cashpot is the highest cashpot award, but it does not define the slot’s overall maximum. That still sits at £250,000 or 50,000x bet, whichever is reached first.
The defining feature of this third entry is the trio of stacked reel sets to the right of the main grid. Activate Fortune Play, and every spin runs simultaneously across all three sets at a per-set cost. Mystery symbols that land on the main grid are mirrored onto the side reels, so a single helpful logo drop can cascade into matching wins across all three sets at once.
The cabinet is a 5×4 grid carrying 20 fixed winlines. Matches resolve leftmost-first across adjacent reels starting at reel one. The stake control sits in the lower toolbar with a floor at the small end and a high-roller ceiling at the top. Activating Fortune Play multiplies the cost per spin by the number of side sets engaged, since each set is wagered independently.
A line pays when three or more matching icons land along it, and where two combinations share a single line only the larger of the two is awarded. Mystery symbols complete winning combinations by transforming into whichever icon gives the better outcome, which keeps the hit pattern feeling generous between bonus triggers.
Money Spins is the headline feature. Once triggered by three or more bonus symbols (any combination of leprechaun, cashpot or coin), the reels lock and the held-and-respin round begins. Three respins are awarded; every fresh bonus symbol resets the counter back to three. The round ends when respins run out or the entire grid is filled, paying every collected coin value plus any cashpot tier landed during the round.
3 sets of respins returned a total of $20 in this round.

The slot runs at a published 95% RTP, applied equally to standard play and Fortune Play. Volatility sits in the medium-to-high range, which shapes how wins distribute: base game pays lean on smaller, frequent winline hits driven by the mystery symbol, while the bigger wins cluster in the hold-and-respin Money Spins round. Payouts are capped at £250,000 or 50,000x the triggering bet, whichever comes first.
