Shamrockers Slot Review

Pick up your fiddle and rock out with some leprechauns

An ever popular casino slot theme, the IGT Shamrockers slot brings you lucky leprechauns ready to bring some high paying thrills.

The full name of this game is Shamrockers Eire to Rock, and it offers you a different take on the little lucky leprechauns you’ll see in other video slots; such as their MegaJackpots Isle O’Plenty or the Microgaming Lucky Leprechaun slot.

Instead of pots of gold, colourful rainbows and luscious green pastures, here you’ve got tickets to be front and centre of the greatest Irish rock band of the lot.

Bono eat your heart out as the Shamrockers are here to rock your world on each and every spin.

Well in theory anyway, let’s dig in to make sure this band is legit.

5 Reels, 20 paylines and Dynamic Stacks

Open up this Shamrockers video slot and you’re greeted with 20 paylines set over 5×3 reels, and a whole cast of band members offering up their different skills (or in this case different win values).

You’ve got the fiddler as the lower paying top symbol, followed by the drummer lady leprechaun, the lead guitarist and the highest paying symbol of the lot, can you guess? That’s right the ginger haired lead singer of course, the face of any band.

These are all mixed in with the lower paying A, K, Q, J, and 10 symbols, and the green clover wild, which substitutes for all of the other symbols apart from the special bonus symbol.

But that’s not all.

The Shamrockers’ Dynamic stacks for bigger wins

If you are familiar with online slot games like Sherlock Holmes The Hunt for Blackwood, or the Grand Monarch slot, you’ll be familiar with the idea of stacked symbols and stacked wilds.

Here, though IGT have decided to change it up a little: on every spin one of the symbols will be randomly chosen to be stacked, and it could be a different symbol each time.

The hope, of course, is to get a full set of 5 reels completely filled with the same symbol, and some big rocking wins.

Yet, as always, it’s in the free spin games where you’ll find the the biggest wins of the game.

4 free spins offers more than you think

Finding three ticket bonus symbols, on the three centre reels, will reward you with access to the Shamrockers slot free spins bonus feature.

Here you sit in your front row seats, waiting to see if this show will rock your socks off as promised. Initially you get four free spins, which might not sound a lot but they are easily re-triggered – probably around 50% of the time.

These are no ordinary free spins though as each spin gives you a different stack of the high paying symbols as follows:

• Spin 1: The fiddler is stacked across all reels
• Spin2 : The drummer is stacked across all reels
• Spin 3: The guitarist is stacked across all reels
• Spin 4: The lead singer is stacked across all reels

During the Shamrockers free spins you might notice another certain golden VIP ticket with “Encore” written on it.

For the first three spins it acts as another wild symbol, for the fourth however, if it lands on the fifth reel, it will reward you with 4 more free spins and the show will go on.

A free spins feature that can reward you with up to 925x your total bet, but one that will, on average, actually come closer to 10 – 40x.

We have hit a little over 200x times our bet once, so it is possible – that the thing about high volatility slot machines, they can bring big thrills or bring your casino balance crashing down to earth.

Patience and a decent budget

The Shamrockers slot game provides plenty of action throughout the base game and the free spins.

The betting range is a decent 0.20 per spin ranging up to a whopping 400 per spin –  perfect for casual gamblers, or those who like their high limit slots.

But our advise with this high variance game is that you should budget wisely, as the free spins can take a little while to hit and the fact that they are hit or miss can be disheartening if you bet too high too quickly.

So in order to have a prolonged gaming session use a variety of slots strategies and bet carefully would be our advice.

Play the Shamrockers mobile slot or online slot?

Personally we like the ability to play a slot we like on the go from our smartphones. The Shamrockers mobile slot offers you the chance to do that and gives you front row seats to this Irish rock slot.

Graphics, animations and sounds provides you with a unique take on the theme, without a pot of gold in sight, but with plenty of opportunity to win.

With a return to player rate of 92.1% up to 96.2% it can provide you with some frequent rewards, but as we mentioned, be careful with this ricky Shamrockers slot – it’s a little like playing Prowling Panther in that respect.

But if you like your real money slots with an Irish theme, stacked symbols, free spins and the ability to win big then the Shamrockers online slot or on mobile is worth a spin.
