Irish Slots

Why these games look so similar

Look through this page and the games quickly start to blend together. You will see the same colours, the same symbols and very similar gameplay. Irish Crown uses mystery symbols and a collection feature on a standard five by three grid. Lucky's Wild Pub relies on a Hold and Win bonus. 7 Clovers of Fortune uses a Cash Collect system on a slightly larger board. Emerald King throws in a bonus wheel, and Clover Treasure scales things down to a three by three grid. The differences are just small changes to a very familiar routine.

Slots O' Gold is the one real exception. Blueprint gave this game a Win Both Ways mechanic, transforming symbols and a massive 50,000x maximum win limit. That is the highest on this page by a long way. Even so, it still looks exactly like every other Irish game when you look at the cover image.

This theme is everywhere because it works. Green and gold games with the word lucky in the title always do well, especially around March. The studios making these slots are not trying to win awards for original art. They are just competing to offer different jackpot setups and bonus rates. If you enjoy this type of game, you just need to pick the math model you like best. If you do not, you will probably feel like you are playing the exact same slot over and over.
