Land of Gold from Playtech: Slot Review - Welcome to the Emerald Isle

In the Land of Gold slot, we visit the Emerald Isle to seek as much fortune as possible! It is now your chance to win that mythical crock of gold at the end of the rainbow.

This game is a 5 reel slot game and is full of familiar Irish references such as harps, horseshoes, shamrocks and even a leprechaun is thrown in for good measure!

The leprechaun is significant in Ireland for bringing good luck and if you happen to come across him in the Land of Gold then you are in for a real treat!

Amazingly there are up to 576 ways to win in this game and there is great replay value to be had here as you can win unlimited free games the more you play.

Special Features

One of the standout features of this game is that it has 5 reels of varying sizes. For instance the first and third reels display 3 symbols while the second, third and fourth reels show 4 symbols. It’s a very unique way of playing a video game slot machine which makes it all the fun to dive in and give it a spin!

If you have the luck of the Irish and find three leprechauns in reels 2,3 and 4 then you will be granted unlimited free spins! Be sure to make them count!
Another fun feature of this game is called “Stacks of Luck” which offers random prizes dependent on the three middle reels displaying the same matching symbols.

There is also a very cool bonus side game called “Golden Coins” which can be activated when you find a toadstool symbol on the first and fifth reels. In this game, you have to make the leprechaun jump as high as possible in order to collect coins and prizes and you do this by using the toadstool as a launchpad! If the leprechaun hits a crow symbol then the bonus game will end so try to avoid that pesky crow if at all possible!

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The Land of Gold displays wonderfully with bright colours and snazzy animations and it is always good fun to see the leprechaun pop up on the symbols and give you a nice wink and a smile every now and then!

The graphics are crisp and I enjoyed clicking on the cute broken tree as a lever for starting and stopping the reels in the game. A nice touch that the game has, is that each gold coin has a 4 leafed clover displayed on its head. A clever nod to the Emerald Isle there!

The music is melodic and playful and makes you enjoy the game more as the reels line up and display all of the colourful symbols.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

If your luck is in and you manage to match some symbols on back-to-back reels then a multiplier is added to your “coin value”. The “coin value” option is located right beside the red “Info” toadstool and can be adjusted to values ranging from 0.01 all the way up to 2. These coin values are then multiplied by 40X when you place your bet. As with most games, winnings are based on how much time and money you invest in the game but there are some excellent prizes to be had here.

Free spins, bonus rounds and additional multipliers all help to increase the likelihood of a big win. Starting off on the lower scale, if you match even two Golden Harps or Horseshoes symbols then your return is 5X. Not too shabby at all! In comparison, if you were to match three Pot of Gold symbols then your return is 80X! Naturally, the more symbols you match the greater the payout. For instance, if you are fortunate enough to match five Pot of Golds then the return is an eye-popping 1500X!

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.
