Online casino game developers love a good theme, and St. Patrick’s Day slots are ripe for the picking.
Whether it’s leprechauns, pots of gold or shamrocks, the holiday is a natural fit for online slots.
Michigan’s online casinos feature several options for those looking to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with some Irish-themed spins.
Finn and the Swirly Spin
RTP: 96.62%
Available: Golden Nugget Casino MI, BetMGM Casino MI, Caesars Casino MI, DraftKings Casino MI, FanDuel Casino MI, BetRivers Casino MI
The name may remind you of your freshman year in high school, but it’s not that kind of swirly. No? Just me? OK.
Swirly, in this case, is referencing the pattern of the game screen. You’re still trying to match at least three symbols horizontally or vertically on the 5X5 grid to win. When those matches occur, the symbols explode and are replaced, giving you a chance to continue winning without spinning again.
Players can trigger bonus worlds for free spins. This is fun because of the free spins, of course, but also because you can send Finn flying through a vortex of clouds. A cloud swirly, if you will.
Turn on the sound, and you’re serenaded by Finn’s fife, which is reminiscent of all the most boring Shire scenes in a Lord of the Rings movie.
Road to Riches Race Day
RTP: 96.25%
Available: Golden Nugget, BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetRivers, WynnBet
This slot game is actually two games in one. As you play, you can rack up typical wins, but there’s also a horse race going on at the top of your screen.
Each time a horse of a different color shows up on your screen, that horse moves closer to the finish line. Last long enough to get a horse to the end, and you’ll win whatever cash prize they’re running toward.
Like Finn and his swirly spin, winning symbols in this game explode and are replaced, giving players a chance to win multiple times on a single spin. There are more than 4,000 ways to win by matching symbols across the board.
There’s also some upbeat Celtic music to fill your ears while you play.
(Just a warning: Playing this game on a computer was no issue, but when I tried to pull it up on mobile for a screenshot, it didn’t work on any of the apps.)
Shamrock Spin
RTP: 96%
Available: Golden Nugget, BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetRivers, WynnBet
Simplicity is the name of this game. Well, actually Shamrock Spin is the name, but, you get it.
This is a classic stepper slot game featuring three reels and a single payline.
It’s simple and to the point, and that includes the sounds. There are no fifes or computer-generated Celtic tunes, just a classic casino slot sound as it spins.
The BARs and 7s provide plenty of nostalgia, and the shamrock spin symbol serves as wild.
This is by far the most straightforward of St. Patrick’s Day slots.
Irish Magic
RTP: 94.81%
Available: Golden Nugget, BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings, PointsBet, BetRivers, WynnBet
This game is set in an enchanted forest, which is apparently where leprechauns live.
The leprechaun in this forest lives in a mushroom house, has boots full of gold coins and various gems, so those are among the symbols you’re looking to collect. Pots of gold serve as wilds.
Match three or more across the 10 paylines to win, and get a hat tip from the leprechaun, as well as some of his gold. Just kidding, it’s real money.
Players can also trigger a free bonus spin round with three or more leprechaun hats.
During the game, a tune one would expect to hear while walking into a mischievous leprechaun’s mushroom hut plays in the background.
