A red-haired woman holds a pint of stout. A leprechaun nurses his own from a bar stool beside the reels. Fiddle and tin whistle fill the pub before the first spin resolves. Lucky’s Wild Pub 2 slot from Pragmatic Play opens with more character than most Irish-themed titles bother with, and the traditional folk soundtrack running underneath gives the game an atmosphere that Pragmatic’s more feature-dense releases rarely attempt. The sequel raises the original Lucky’s Wild Pub max win from 10,000x to 15,000x, introduces a guaranteed x100 zone buy at 500x, and keeps the three-modifier Pot Respin system that defined its predecessor.
Three colour-coded bonus coins land during regular play. Purple coins fill the Zone pot, red coins fill the Doublin’ pot, and green coins fill the Life pot. Each time a coin is collected, the corresponding pot can randomly trigger the Pot Respin feature. One, two, or all three modifiers can activate on the same trigger, and the combination is determined randomly at the point of activation.
When triggered, regular symbols clear and only Money symbols and blanks remain on the reel strips. The round opens with 3 respins. Money symbols carry random values from 0.6x to 30x the total bet, or one of three fixed jackpots at Mini (10x), Minor (20x), or Major (150x). Every Money symbol that lands resets the respin count to 3. All Money symbols stay locked in place until the round ends. When respins expire, all values on the grid are summed and paid. Filling every position awards the Grand jackpot at 5,000x on top of the collected total.
The Zone modifier divides the grid into four sections. Each section receives a random multiplier between 2x and 100x. When a zone fills completely with Money symbols during the Pot Respin, every value in that section is multiplied by the assigned multiplier before the final sum. Partial fills pay base values without the zone boost.
The Doublin’ modifier expands the playing field to two 5×3 grids. Bonus coins present at the time of triggering convert to Money symbols, and the respin plays across both grids simultaneously. The doubled surface area creates more landing positions and a higher ceiling for the round’s total.
The Life modifier extends the starting respin count from 3 to 4. Every Money symbol hit resets the count back to 4 instead of 3, giving the round more breathing room to sustain the collection sequence.
Two purchase routes are available. The Zone Pot at 100x guarantees the Multiplier Zone modifier and may randomly include Doublin’ and Life alongside it. The x100 Zone Pot at 500x follows the same structure but guarantees that at least one of the four zones carries a x100 multiplier, directly raising the feature’s ceiling. RTP is 96.50% for both, matching the game’s default configuration.
Twenty-five lines run on a five-reel layout with three rows. Stakes sit between 0.25 and 250 per spin. Matching symbols must appear on consecutive reels from the left, with each line paying its best result multiplied by the per-line bet. Wilds show on reels 2 through 5 and stand in for everything except Bonus Coins and Money symbols. Pragmatic Play rates the volatility at 5 out of 5, and the 15,000x maximum win applies across all play modes.
Pay amounts below assume a 1.00 bet (0.04 per line on 25 lines). Every figure adjusts in step with your stake.
| Symbol | 5 | 4 | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leprechaun | 2.00 | 0.60 | 0.20 |
| Woman | 2.00 | 0.60 | 0.20 |
| Pint | 1.20 | 0.40 | 0.20 |
| Harp | 1.20 | 0.40 | 0.20 |
| Pot of Gold | 1.20 | 0.40 | 0.20 |
| A | 1.20 | 0.40 | 0.20 |
| K / Q / J / 10 | 0.60 | 0.20 | 0.08 |
The Leprechaun and Woman share the top position at 2.00 for five on a line. Below them, four mid-tier symbols pay identically at 1.20, and the card royals cluster at 0.60. The paytable is deliberately flat. Regular payline wins maintain the balance between Pot Respin triggers, but the real return sits inside the feature, where Money symbol values and zone multipliers operate on a different scale.
The predecessor set a framework with three modifiers and a pot collection system. Lucky’s Wild Pub 2 builds incrementally on that foundation, raising the ceiling to 15,000x, adding a guaranteed x100 zone at 500x, and wrapping the whole thing in art direction that makes the pub setting feel lived in. The Pot Respin carries the game, and when the zone multipliers connect with a full section of Money symbols, the returns shift dramatically. At 3.5 out of 5, the rating reflects a sequel that refines without reinventing. The pub atmosphere is the bonus.
The opening screen sets a tone that the gameplay sustains. A dimly lit pub interior with dark wood panelling, brass fixtures, and two characters with enough personality to carry the scene. The folk soundtrack runs continuously without looping aggressively enough to wear out during extended sessions. For a Pragmatic Play title, the atmosphere leans more traditional than the provider’s usual output, closer to a Barcrest design philosophy than to the neon and feature-saturated approach Pragmatic typically favours.
Our review session produced frequent small wins during regular play across the 25 paylines. The flat paytable limits the excitement of individual line hits, but the hit rate kept the balance from dropping between bonus triggers. When we bought the Zone Pot at 100x, the grid changed. The respin phase replaced the standard layout with blanks and Money symbols, and the transition from the relatively approachable regular game to the modifier-driven respin was abrupt. The system carries depth, but the first purchased round required close attention to follow where value was accumulating.
The 100x purchase returned 558x. The Zone modifier was guaranteed by the buy, and Doublin’ and Life both triggered on top, splitting the action across two 5×3 grids with a respin count of 4. The Bonus Total came in at $238.80 and $319.40 across the two grids, with Mini and Minor pot hits landing in the right-hand section and a spread of coin values filling enough positions on both sides to push well past the buy-in. The zone multipliers only apply when a section fills completely, so partial fills contribute base values without the boost. Rounds can just as easily close quietly when the assigned multipliers are modest or the Money symbols cluster in the wrong zones. This one broke the right way.
The original Lucky’s Wild Pub maxed out at 10,000x. This sequel raises that to 15,000x and introduces the 500x buy with a guaranteed x100 zone, which gives the top end more room. The underlying three-pot system carries over largely unchanged.
Lucky’s Wild Pub 2 plays like a game designed for longer sessions at lower stakes, where the Pot Respin arrives occasionally and fills the gaps between base game hits. When it delivers, this sequel has the headroom to make it count.
The bonus activates with all three modifiers in play: 4 respins, 4 multiplier zones and a second reel set.
Mini and Minor pots are revealed while coin values fill positions across both sections.
