Emerald Isle Slot Details for Online Pokies Fans

The fact that the north Atlantic island of Ireland is sometimes referred to as the Emerald Isle is owed to its picturesque landscape deep green hues, perpetually soaked in sparkling rain drops. The Ireland and its culture are so often the subject of casino slots is because of an ancient myth referring to the luck of the Irish.

The Emerald Isle online video slot brings both of these elements together over five reels and 40 paylines. In 2016, the Emerald Isle received a considerable makeover, which primarily involved enhancing its graphics and animations but also influenced the slot’s game play.

The visuals of this new version of the Emerald Isle slot are much more vivid than those of its predecessors – more like a Pixar film and less like a vintage Disney cartoon. But all the original symbols, related to Irish luck and tradition, remain in play. Some of these Emerald Isle symbols include a red-bearded leprechaun, a four-leaf clover, a pot of gold, a rainbow, and a red-haired Irish maiden who looks an awful lot like a young Nicole Kidman.

Meanwhile, the reels are set against the backdrop of a tranquil lake, complete with weeping willows and water lilies. The Emerald Isle soundtrack is gentle and non-intrusive, with the occasional chirping of birds, and becomes a little livelier when winning combinations are landed.

A Note on Emerald Isle Wager Limits

Note that all 40 Emerald Isle paylines must be enabled on this new version of the slot, which is why the betting range has also changed from 0.01-5.00 credits to 0.01-2.00 credits.

That Leprechaun Sure is Wild

Fittingly, the cheerful top-hat-sporting leprechaun is the Emerald Isle wild symbol and, as such, can replace any other symbol except the scatter, to complete winning lines.

The Emerald Isle wild leprechaun is also the slot’s most intrinsically valuable symbol as it pays out the 6000-coin jackpot for five of a kind on the same payline.

And that’s not the only trick the Emerald Isle leprechaun has up his sleeve…

The Leprechaun Unlocks the Bonus Round

Emerald Isle players who have the good fortune of landing leprechauns on Reels 1 and 5 simultaneously will be granted access to the game’s Treasure Chest Instant Win Bonus.

When this happens, Emerald Isle players will be taken to a new screen displaying several rows of treasure chests. Players must select one of the chests to reveal a mystery cash prize of between five and 100 times the total base game wager.

In addition, a 5x total bet multiplier may also be added to the amount contained in the treasure chest.

Scattered Wins Lie over Rainbow

Another special symbol to look out for in the Emerald Isle slot is the rainbow, which acts as the scatter in this game. This means that it pays out for two or more symbols landing anywhere on the reels.

Moreover, like scatters in many slots, the Emerald Isle rainbow scatter symbol also unlocks free spins…

The Free Game Rainbow Feature

When three or more rainbow scatter symbols appear anywhere on the Emerald Isle reels, players are awarded up 10 free spins. The added bonus is that Emerald Isle free spins wins come with a 3x multiplier.

The Irish Maiden Helps to Increase Wins

A final special feature in the Emerald Isle online video slot is the gamble option. Here, the Irish maiden allows players to double or even quadruple their winnings by correctly guessing the colour and suit of a mystery playing card.
