Introduction to Lots O' Little Leprechauns
Lots O' Little Leprechauns is a casino slot from Blue Ring Studios. The company has mostly produced classic-looking 5x3 slots with paylines, such as the feline detective adventure Agent Whiskers, but is this time presenting a 5-reel slot with a varying number of rows and 2,000 ways to win. The theme of leprechauns is, however, not as innovative. These green little figures show up as the Wild Symbol, but also to the side of the reels, giving you more perks in the Lucky Spots Bonus features, the more you spin the reels.

The game is seen from a leprechaun’s view. We’re looking at some four-leaf clovers that seem to be as big as trees. In front are 5 black reels, and to the right of them is a pot of gold coins. To the left is the game’s logo, and beneath stand leprechauns in big green hats. The game is accompanied by cheerful, fast-paced violin music. To make a win, you need to land 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the first reel to the left. The game is available on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Lots O' Little Leprechauns are 10, J, Q, K, and A. They pay 0.25x the bet for wins of 5 symbols. The higher-paying symbols are mushrooms, pipes, boots, money bags, and horseshoes. They will give you between 0.6x and 0.75x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The Wild Symbol is a leprechaun that substitutes for all symbols except the Coin and Arrow Symbols.

What features are available in the slot Lots O' Little Leprechauns?
The features are Wild Symbol, Lucky Spots Bonuses, Lucky Spots Feature, and Lucky Wheel Feature.
Wild Symbol
Leprechaun symbols act as Wild symbols, and they can replace other symbols to help create winning combinations. They only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, and substitute for all other symbols except Coin and Arrow symbols.
Lucky Spots Bonuses
The middle positions on reels 2, 3, and 4 are called Lucky Spots. When a Wild symbol lands on a Lucky Spot, it triggers a random bonus. Multiple Lucky Spot bonuses can happen on a single spin. Some bonus types are locked from the start, and you can unlock them as you play.
A counter at the top right of the screen decreases by 1 with each spin. When it reaches 0, a new bonus type is unlocked. If more bonuses remain to unlock, the counter resets to a new value. If all bonus types have been unlocked, the counter disappears.
The Lucky Spot bonuses are:
- A multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x is applied to all wins from the triggered Lucky Spot. Available from the first spin.
- Transforming every position on the reel with the triggered Lucky Spot into Wild symbols. Available from the first spin.
- Adding 3–5 extra Wild symbols to random positions on reels 2–4. If a new Wild lands on a Lucky Spot, it triggers another Lucky Spot bonus. This unlocks on spin 10.
- Adding additional symbols or Wilds to random positions. Non-Wild symbols added match existing winning combinations. Extra Wilds landing on Lucky Spots trigger more bonuses. Unlocks on spin 30.
- Transforming lower-paying symbols into higher-paying symbols. Unlocks on spin 70.
- Randomly awarding three of the above bonuses at once, including multipliers. Unlocks on spin 150.
Lucky Spots Feature
The Lucky Spots Feature can be triggered when a Coin symbol lands on a reel. You start the feature with 10 Free Spins and 3 Lucky Spots. Lucky Spots are placed randomly before the first spin, and only Coin symbols or empty positions appear on the reels. Each Coin symbol that lands shows a random multiplier of 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x, or 10x. Coin symbols that land during the feature are held until the end.
If all positions are filled with held Coin symbols, the feature ends immediately, and a 1,000x prize is awarded. When a Coin symbol lands on a Lucky Spot, one of the following bonuses is applied:
- Apply a 2x, 3x, or 5x multiplier to the triggering Coin and 2–4 other random Coin symbols.
- Add the triggering Coin’s multiplier to all other held Coin symbols, and vice versa.
- Award 3 additional spins.
- Add 3–5 Coin symbols to random empty positions.
- Transform 2 empty positions into Lucky Spots.
Lucky Wheel Feature
The Lucky Wheel Feature is triggered when Arrow symbols land in the middle positions of reel 1 and reel 5. Spin the Lucky Wheel to win a prize between 2x and 1,000x your bet.
Final Thoughts on Lots O' Little Leprechauns
Lots O’ Little Leprechuans promises a pot of gold, but we feel that the game handed us a slightly damp four-leaf clover instead. The game tries to look lively, with its busy Lucky Spots, bouncing leprechauns, and frantic violin music, but the overall experience feels more cluttered than charming. The graphics aren’t impressive either. On the good side, there are many bonuses that can help you score wins in the Lucky Spots Bonuses, but the fact that they need to be unlocked by countless spins makes them less attractive.
The payouts rarely feel rewarding, especially given the high volatility and modest max win of 3,000x the bet. Even when the Lucky Spots or Wheel features appear, they often tease excitement but fail to deliver anything memorable. It’s the kind of slot where you’re constantly almost entertained, but not quite.
Leprechauns, clovers, and pots of gold have been done countless times before, and here they don’t bring anything new to the party. The only cool detail is the size of the enormous tree-looking clovers.
Lots O' Little Leprechauns from Blue Ring Studios feels like a slot with big ambitions and fairly small results.
