Wish Upon a Leprechaun Megaways

A trip to the Irish reels

Imagine spinning reels while a smiling leprechaun lounges right next to you, tipping his hat every now and then as a cheerful jig plays. That’s the vibe in Wish Upon a Leprechaun Megaways, a slot built firmly around all things Irish folklore — pots of gold, rainbows, and plenty of green. Developed by Blueprint Gaming, these folks have a soft spot for playful characters and lots of on-reel action (think of The Goonies or Mars Attacks). The visuals are bright and cartoonish, not overly slick, and the soundtrack leans into classic Irish pub energy. Released not too long after the original version of the game landed in 2017, this Megaways makeover doesn’t try to reinvent the slot’s world, but piles on features and ups the potential.

The nuts and bolts

At a glance, it’s a standard Megaways format — so expect 6 reels that each show between 2 and 7 symbols per spin. When luck’s on your side, that means up to 117,649 possible ways to win on a single spin. You set your bet between €0.10 and €10 per spin, which keeps things friendly to most bankrolls. There’s an autoplay option if you want the reels to just keep rolling (up to 100 spins), and you can slap on a loss limit for a bit of self-control. There’s no turbo mode, so don’t expect lightning-fast spins here.

RTP is pinned at 95.95%, which is just a shave under what you’d call industry average. Not a deal-breaker, but worth noting for those who like to squeeze out the most value. As for volatility, it sits right in the middle: moderate enough that you’ll see steady wins, but most of those wins are on the smaller side. Expect to see 5x wins pop up fairly often, while the bigger payouts do take a bit more patience. This isn’t the game that’s going to hand out monster prizes every few spins — but it does chip away, keeping the bankroll alive until something juicier lands.

What actually happens on the reels

Being Megaways, the layout is rarely the same twice. Each spin mixes things up by adding or removing symbols, keeping the game fresh but sometimes feeling a little chaotic. The highlight here are the modifiers that Blueprint loves to drop into their slots, and they can trigger randomly during any base spin.

You’ve got Guaranteed Megaways (which boosts your ways to win for a spin), Rainbow Respin (taking a losing spin and turning it into a winner), Lucky Streak (where you keep winning as long as new matches land), and Golden Clover (mystery symbols drop in and morph to match). Occasionally, these effects do make the reels hesitate for a second — especially with the Golden Clover animation — but it usually smooths out by the next spin. These features don’t show up constantly, but enough to keep things lively without feeling forced.

Free spins break things wide open

Landing three or more scatter symbols unlocks the free spins round. Before you get there, the game actually lets you gamble for a shot at more spins: it’s one of those prize ladder setups, where taking the risk could bump your total up or send you down by two spins. Brave it, or just collect what you’ve got — it’s on you.

Once the free spins are underway, things get interesting. The key draw is the unlimited win multiplier, which climbs up by one every time you score a win, with no ceiling in sight. Stack a few wins together, and those small base-game payouts can turn serious, fast. There’s no progressive jackpot here, but the potential max payout hits a pretty wild 50,000 times your stake if all the stars align. No sticky wilds, but the pace and that multiplier can really turn things around.

Symbols that matter

The Wish Upon a Leprechaun Megaways slot keeps the cast simple but fitting. The top-paying symbol is the actual game logo — line up six of those across the reels and you bag 50x your stake. Most of the big symbols are stuff straight out of Irish folklore: horseshoes, pipes, toadstools, and of course, pots of gold. The usual playing card values (10 to Ace) fill out the low end of the paytable.

Wilds do their usual job, swapping in for regular symbols to help finish winning combos, but don’t expect them to carry extra multipliers or fancy tricks. Scatters are what you’re looking for if you want to head into the free spins, and as in many Megaways slots, that’s where the real action kicks off.

How to spin your first game

If you’ve never loaded up the Wish Upon a Leprechaun Megaways slot, getting started is simple. Set your chosen stake using the betting controls beneath the reels — anywhere from a casual €0.10 right up to €10 per spin. The big spin button sits right in the middle, while autoplay is an option for those who want to let things run. The paytable’s tucked away in the menu, only a click or tap away, and is worth a quick look to get to grips with those modifiers and what the bonus symbols actually do.

First few spins tend to throw out lots of smaller wins, especially when the modifiers show up. Don’t get discouraged if the bigger features take a while — that’s just the rhythm here.

How it stacks up to other slots

If you’ve played Return of Kong Megaways or The Goonies, the Blueprint formula here will feel very familiar. It’s packed with random features and a high-energy bonus round, but it’s not as relentless or brutal as some those ultra-volatile Megaways slots. This one sits in that comfort zone where there are enough frequent low wins to keep the nerves steady. For anyone after bigger risks and faster action, something like Bonanza Megaways (with a steeper volatility and fewer modifiers) might scratch the itch instead. But for players who want some old-school slot charm mixed with modern mechanics, Wish Upon a Leprechaun Megaways gets the balance right.

A few more options

For those who love the Irish theme, both Rainbow Riches Megaways and Irish Frenzy may fit the bill. And if the Blueprint Gaming ‘modifier mayhem’ style appeals, definitely look up Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways or Genie Jackpots Megaways. Want to get a feel for Wish Upon a Leprechaun Megaways free play? There’s a demo mode floating around where you can test the game out with 1000 credits. Always a good idea if you’re new or just want to try before betting real cash.
