Jolly is a key characteristic of an Irish slot, and jolly is something 7 Clovers of Fortune lathers on in abundance. Largely through the vibrant soundtrack, which made it almost impossible to avoid daydreaming about consuming Guinness in a charming Irish pub in the charming Irish countryside while the locals dance, sing, and be merry. As well as upbeat music, the visuals have a sunny, rainbowed Celtic slot upbeatness to them, too. Generic as all heck, but upbeat.
7 Clovers of Fortune’s gaming grid contains 6 reels, holding 5 rows each. However the rightmost reel contains prize values rather than regular symbols. In addition, prizes land on the top and bottom positions of the third reel. This unusual 5-5-3-5-5 setup provides 1,875 ways to win. Before contemplating winning, how about picking a stake of 25 c to $/€250, and whether or not to take advantage of the bonus buy. 7 Clovers of Fortune has the highest RTP of the 3 Connect & Collect slots we’ve reviewed at 96.47%, paired with a highly volatile math model.
Nine through Ace card ranks make their way onto the hierarchy of symbols as the low pays and are joined by mushrooms, mugs of beer, horseshoes, and leprechauns. Winning combinations made from 5 matching symbols pay 0.4x to 0.8x for the lows and 1x to 4x for the picture symbols. Wild symbols appear on reels 2 to 4, substituting for anything except scatters and Connect & Collect symbols.
Connect & Collect symbols appear on any non-special position on reels 1 to 5. Occasionally, they can have a cash value of 0.4x to 50x the bet. Connect & Collect symbols landing from left to right from the leftmost reel, connected horizontally or vertically, awards their displayed cash values or reaching the chain of symbols to one of the special positions on reel 3 or 6, awards the prize from the reached special position. During the base game and in free spins, the special positions on reel 3 and reel 6 may contain the following symbols:
- Respins – only appears on reel 3’s special positions. When reached, 5 respins are triggered. During respins, all Connect & Collect symbols from the triggering spin remain locked in place, and all other positions on reels 1 to 5 respin. Any Connect & Collect symbols that hit on a respin remain in place until there are no more respins left. After the respins, the game awards any connections.
- Money Value – when reached by a connection chain, a prize value of 2x to 160x the stake is awarded.
- Add Wilds – when reached by a connection chain, wild symbols are added to random positions on reels 2 to 5.
- Free Spins – when reached by a connection chain after any other awards are paid out, 7, 10, 15, 20, or 25 free spins are awarded, as well as a 2x the bet cash prize.
- Minor, Major and Grand Awards – when reached by a connection chain, the Minor, Major, or Grand award pays 20x, 100x, or 4,000x the bet, respectively.
Free Spins
The pot of gold scatter symbol appears on all reels. The free spins round is triggered by reaching a free spins symbol with Connect & Collects or landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols to win 7, 10, or 15 free spins, respectively. The total number of free spins awarded by either method is added together if applicable. The Connect & Collect feature is available in free spins and acts the same way as in the base game. When a connection chain reaches free spins symbols, additional free spins are awarded equal to the number on the symbol reached.
