Imagine a world where leprechauns are taking over. In the world of slots that’s already hppening and with St Patrick’s Day on the horizon, we’re seeing leprechauns galore. NetEnt has decided to bring their prize ‘chaun’ to the fight with its Finn & The Swirly Spin slot, to compete against Barcrest’s classic Rainbow Riches. This promises to be an epic clash.

The True Leprechaun Champion

Barcrest really set the scene with its Rainbow Riches slot, the ultimate in Irish themed gaming. A fun leprechaun guide, the Road to Riches Bonus, the Wishing Well Bonus and the Pots of Gold bonus give us plenty of opportunities to find the legendary treasure at the end of the rainbow. But, in its quest to give its fans jackpots of their own, NetEnt isn’t going to settle for second place.
Is that why the Swedish slots impressarios created Finn & The Swirly Spin, a unique slot that’s played on a five by five grid? Straight away this is something different, as the reels spin, symbols create wins and then disappear from the reels to reveal more symbols. We even get Finn the Leprechaun joining us as the slot mascot from the side of the screen. And three bonus features? No, NetEnt gives us four random bonuses during the base game and a series of progressive free spins which unlock extra rewards and spins as we progress.

Earning On The Emerald Isle

Even Blueprint gets in on the action with its Wish Upon A Leprechaun slot. A Pots O’ Luck Bonus which activates five bonuses and the Lucky Charm Bonus that sets off another five, definitely make it a top contender. But NetEnt backs up its bonuses with great visuals and animations to boot. Which means Barcrest’s original Irish friend finally has a real run for its money.
