St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 is the perfect excuse to try your luck on Irish-themed sweepstakes casino slots!
These games are hits throughout the year, but they really shine around St. Paddy’s Day, giving you the chance to win in both Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins – the latter redeemable for real cash prizes.
We’ve rounded up the best slots and the best sweepstakes casinos to play them at, so read on for our top picks!
The Golden Pot & Pints by Thunderkick
We have to start with The Golden Pot & Pints – a simple yet endlessly fun slot, available at Pulsz.
The 7×7 grid is set in a cosy Irish pub, and the goal here is to land clusters of 5 or more matching symbols. The excitement ramps up when each cluster generates a Wild Multiplier ranging from 2x to 100x, and Wilds on the board also make new clusters more likely, creating thrilling chain reactions thanks to the slot’s tumbling mechanic.
Landing 3 Bonus Bells triggers the free spins, where every Wild Multiplier adds to a global multiplier that builds throughout the round. Easy to pick up and hard to put down, this slot is as fun to play as it is rewarding.
Clover Charm by Playson
One feature that tends to go hand-in-hand with Irish-themed slots is jackpots, and you’ll find a four-tier jackpot in Clover Charm, along with an unusually small 3×3 grid. This is a little different from a standard slot, as the aim of the base game is to simply land three symbols across the middle row, triggering the Hold & Win bonus round.
Then you’ll be looking to land as many Clover Money symbols as possible – or maybe a special jackpot symbol – before your 3 spin-streak runs out. Maybe land a Boost symbol to gather/double all the values on the grid too! SC spins start from as low as 0.2 SC here, and you’ll find the game, and its sequel (4 Supercharged Clovers: Hold and Win), at McLuck.
Shake Shake Leprechaun by RubyPlay
This is the Irish-themed version of RubyPlay’s Shake Shake games, with a 5×3 board and 50 paylines. Along with the standard symbols, the Rush Fever symbol allows you to win prizes at any point in a scatter manner, and the Shake the Rainbow feature will randomly come into play from time to time – just shake your phone (or tap the button) to activate it, with coins dropping down from the rainbow and onto the grid!
Rainbow Rush by Slotmill
Rainbow Rush is one of the newest games on this list, straight out of Slotmill’s famous studios. There’s a glowing sheen to the visuals, and the gameplay revolves around the Rainbow Wilds, which come in three types: Standard, Expanding, and Golden Expanding.
The Standard Rainbow Wild is self-explanatory, whereas the Expanding version stretches downwards (as far as it can) and the Golden Expanding stretches both upwards and downwards (covering the whole reel), assisting with wins over the 20 paylines. The cute leprechaun shouts out encouragement now and then, and Rainbow Rush is just a super fun package overall.
Lucky Penny by 3 Oaks Gaming
This is one of the SweepsKings team’s favorite slots. It’s actually pretty similar to the famous Gates of Olympus game, but we’re now playing in a shimmering forest setting with a leprechaun throwing multipliers onto the grid from time to time.
These multis can boost the scatter wins by as much as 1,000x, and there’s something about this game that feels really generous – we’ve had some massive wins on it. There’s also a sequel, Lucky Penny 2, but it’s largely the same.
Paddy’s Payouts: Race for Riches by Gaming Corps
Here’s another brand new title, this time from Gaming Corps. There’s a 5×3 grid, tiered jackpot, and 20 paylines – so far, so normal. But in the bonus round, this slot borrows a mechanic from the Huff N’ Puff series.
Now, instead of building up straw, wood, and brick houses, you’ll be adding green, bronze, silver, and gold borders. And at the end of the round, the leprechaun character rides by on his hobby horse, awarding multiplier and jackpot rosettes depending on how well you’ve done. It’s a lot of fun – it’s just a shame the max win is only 1,000x.
Lucky Rainbow Rush by Papaya Gaming
Not to be confused with Rainbow Rush above, Lucky Rainbow Rush is an all ways pays slot – in fact, on the 6×4 grid there are 4,096 ways to win! The Rainbow Clover is the highest-paying symbol, but you’ll also be hoping to land the Magnet Collect symbol during the first bonus round, which gathers all money symbols on the screen, essentially doubling your win.
There’s a second bonus round as well, and you get to choose which one to play, adding a nice element of player control. In this second round, the Leprechaun’s Hat lands as a Multiplier Wild to boost your wins. Deciding which bonus path to take becomes part of the strategy!
Visually, Lucky Rainbow Rush is bursting with color and animation too – it’s almost psychedelic at times.
Paddy Star: Smash and Win by Playson
This game certainly wins the award for funkiest soundtrack in this list. As for the gameplay, you’re aiming to line up 3 or more symbols across 15 paylines, but you’ll also find the titular Paddy Star Wild showing up in the centre of the grid for the Smash and Win, unlocking any Coins or Jackpot values to flow into your wallet.
This can also trigger the bonus game, where Paddy Star stays sticky for the duration of the free spins, again unlocking any other Coins or Jackpots you’re lucky enough to land. The nudge feature also improves your chance of Paddy landing every once in a while. SC spins start from as low as 0.2 SC here, so it suits all wallets.
Closing Thoughts
With all these Irish-themed slots and St. Paddy’s Day promos across sweepstakes and social casinos, there are plenty of ways to chase some St. Patrick’s Day luck this year.
From tumbling clusters and Wild Multipliers, to sticky bonus features and progressive jackpots, these games make it easy to have fun while aiming for big wins in both GC and SC.
