Gold Trio: Leprechaun’s Luck Race Bonanza takes us to a well-maintained horse race track. We’re looking at one of the track’s curves, with the reels covering part of it in the middle of the screen. To the right of the reels stands a green-dressed leprechaun on the grass in the middle of the track. To the left is a display of the bonus prizes with the Grand 1,000x prize at the top. To make a win, you need to land 3 or more matching symbols on one of the 30 paylines going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel to the left, and the game is available on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Gold Trio: Leprechaun's Luck Race Bonanza are J, Q, K, and A. They pay between 1.25x and 2x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols are horseshoes, beer pints, binoculars, helmets, and leprechauns. They will give you between 2.5x and 6x the bet for wins containing 5 symbols. The Wild Symbol substitutes all symbols except the Coin Symbols.

What features are available in the slot Gold Trio: Leprechaun's Luck Race Bonanza?
The features are Wild Symbol, Coloured Coin Symbols, Leprechaun Feature, Gold Trio Respins Feature, and Feature Buy.
Wild Symbol
The blue ribbon is the Wild Symbol. It can replace all other symbols in making wins in paylines, but it can’t substitute the Coin Symbols.
Coloured Coin Symbols
There are three coloured coin symbols in the game: Blue Coin, Red Coin, and Green Coin. Any combination of one, two, or all three coloured coins landing in the main game can increase the level of their matching pot and may randomly trigger the Gold Trio Respins feature. The pots are three horse jockeys at the top of the reels, and the larger they grow, the higher the chance of triggering respins.
Multiple coloured coins can land on the reels at the same time, but only one coloured coin can appear on each reel.
Leprechaun Feature
On any spin in the main game, the Leprechaun can randomly add wild symbols or coloured coins to the reels. During the Gold Trio Respins feature, the Leprechaun may randomly upgrade a cash coin by turning it into a higher-value cash coin, a Mystery Prize Coin, or an active coloured coin.
Gold Trio Respins Feature
When any coloured coin lands on the reels in the main game, the Gold Trio Respins feature can randomly trigger. The coin or coins that triggered the feature will lock in place, but only one coin of each colour is carried over.
Only cash coins, Mystery Prize Coins, and coloured coins can land on the reels in this feature. Coloured coins that did not trigger the feature can appear and activate additional pots.
Gold Trio Respins begin with 3 respins, and 5 coins on the reels, and each unlocked position on the reels spins independently. At the start of the feature, each triggering coloured coin activates its special ability. The Blue Coin expands the reels by one row, up to a maximum of 8 rows, and then turns into a cash coin. The Red Coin doubles the value of all coins on the reels on that spin and then turns into a cash coin. The Green Coin gains a value equal to the total value of all coins locked on the reels on the same spin it lands.
After every respin, if one or more new coin symbols land, they lock in place, and the respin count resets to 3. Coloured coins activate their abilities whenever they land, and multiple coloured coins and Mystery Prize Coins can appear at the same time. The regular coins are worth between 0.25x and 5x, while the Mystery Prize Coins carry prizes of Mini (10x), Minor (20x), and Major (50x).
The feature ends when the respins reach 0 or the reels are completely filled with coins. If the grid is filled, the Grand prize of 1,000x the bet is awarded.
Feature Buy
You can use the Buy Feature to trigger the Gold Trio Respins feature instantly. The cost is 50x the bet.
Final Thoughts on Gold Trio: Leprechaun's Luck Race Bonanza
After hanging out at the race track with this leprechaun for quite a while, we have to say it feels like we have done this before. Gold Trio: Leprechaun's Luck Race Bonanza looks new on the surface, but once the reels start spinning, the mask slips pretty quickly. If you’ve already played Gold Trio: Leprechaun's Luck, you’ll feel right at home here, and not necessarily in a good way. The features, mechanics, and even the pacing are copy-pasted, only now the leprechaun has swapped his rainbow for a racetrack.
The Gold Trio Respins feature can still deliver some tense moments, especially when multiple coloured coins decide to cooperate. The problem is that we’ve seen this exact dance before, step for step, right down to the coin values and pot mechanics. The max win of 1,380x the bet isn’t exactly breathtaking, especially given the high volatility.
Gold Trio: Leprechaun's Luck Race Bonanza from Playtech feels like a rerun you didn’t ask for. It’s the same tricks and the same result in a game that wasn’t even that exciting from the start.
