Leprechaun Goes Egyptin Demo Mode

Discover Play'n Go's Leprechaun Goes Egypt online slot with its interesting storyline and outstanding features. This 5-reel, 3-line video slot takes you through the history of ancient Egypt and introduces you to its main characters. What's more, if you're lucky, you can hit the 2,500 coin jackpot.

There are a lot of ancient Egyptian-themed slots out there, and a good number of them include goblins - although combining them in one game is a first for me. The result is a quirky game that manages to be entertaining without going too far with the idea. There are two different bonus rounds, a free round and another where you have to guide the goblin through an Egyptian tomb (as you do...).

What I really appreciated about this game was the subtlety of the graphics and animations. Little touches like the golden mask growing a big red beard and the green paint on the sphinx keep you entertained as you play. Cleopatra is one of the bonus symbols and turns into an Irish girl (with a pint of Guinness) when you reach the Free Spins bonus feature. Even the playing card symbols feature the lucky shamrock. The sound, more Irish than Egyptian, plays a happy tune as you play.

The free spins bonus lets you choose between low and high variance, while the other bonus game is a pick-up-and-play game where you guide the Leprechaun through a tomb until he meets the mummy.

Like most Play N Go slots, this game has 15 paylines and you can choose how many lines you want to play. You can wager up to 5 coins on each line and choose the coin value between 1c and 25c. Assuming you stick to the 15 lines, this gives you a range of 15c to 18.75c per spin. A configurable autoplay mode is available as well as the standard 'play after you win' option.

The Sarcophagus Mask (Golden Mask) is the best of the standard symbols, worth 750 coins for 5 on a line and 250 coins for 4. Next are the Sphinx (500 coins for 5), the Mummy, and the Scarab. Playing card symbols is the smallest win.

All wins that include the Leprechaun are doubled. This character (with his cigar) is also wild and substitutes for all symbols except the bonus and scatter symbols. You'll win a generous 3,000 coins for every 5 Leprechauns on the line.

Cleopatra is the scatter symbol and also triggers the free spin bonus game. Get 5 of these symbols anywhere on the reels and you'll win 150 times your total bet. The final symbol is a pyramid, which triggers the tomb round when 3 of them appear on the reels but have no prize.

When you get the free spins, you have 3 options to choose from. Firstly, the Cleopatra Spins, which consist of 5 spins with a 6x multiplier. Next, the Leprechaun, which consists of 10 spins with a 3x multiplier, and finally the Mummy spins, 15 at 2x. During these spins, the leprechaun symbol always doubles the winnings, so you can get up to 12x if you're lucky.

The Tomb Bonus is essentially an entertaining pick-em game. You have to guide the Leprechaun through an Egyptian tomb. On the first level, you have to choose from 4 doors, which will reveal either a prize or a mummy. If you land on the mummy, it will chase you out of the tomb and the game ends, while the prizes increase with each level. You then have a choice of 3, then 2, and finally, you must 'defeat' the mummy. The highest prize is 500x the total amount of your turn.

This is an entertaining game, and I have to commend Play N Go for not overdoing it to the point of spoiling the idea. There are subtle jokes (the orange beard on the sarcophagus mask for example) and a light-hearted feel to this slot that is missing from many other games. The standard game offers double the wild to keep your interest, as well as animations. The main attraction is the free spins game. Over the very long term, your winnings should be the same whether you choose the low or high-variance options. I see the ability to choose the number/multiplier combination as a plus, as we all have different approaches and different-sized bankrolls. The tomb game is a nice touch, bringing the crossover theme to life.
