St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated every year on 17th March, marks the death of Saint Patrick aka Maewyn Succat. Born in the 4th century Roman Britain, he is a historical figure idolized for being the greatest priest Ireland has ever seen with him being attributed to miraculous acts such as banishing snakes from the Island.
As we prepare to honor him with parties and a whole lot of green in a few days, Microgaming’s Partner studio Gameburger has already paid tribute by giving the acclaimed 9 Masks of Fire an Irish makeover to present 9 Pots of Gold. Given the success of the original slot as well as the vogue of Irish culture at this time of the year, this release is going to be a hit for sure!

Rules and Gameplay
As you can see from the table, the new 9 Pots of Gold is a complete clone of 9 masks of fire’s mechanism, with the only difference being a theme makeover. So instead of being on the lookout for African masks to trigger instant cash prizes ranging from 1-2000X, you will be on the hunt for pots of gold here.
You will also notice that some of the classic slot-inspired regular symbols such as bells & cherries have been replaced with St.Patrick’s Shamrocks, leprechaun hats, and Celtic harps. And that even the retained sevens have lost their blaze for a leaf green finish and a simple shamrock embellishment- just to emphasize the theme.

Bonus Round
A bonus wheel replaces the crisscrossed arrows on a bow for a scatter. Land it on reels 2, 3, & 4 and get to spin the actual bonus wheel for a chance to win 10-30 free spins that come with boosting multiplier of 2 to 3X. You can retrigger the same number of free spins by landing 3 scatters before the session ends.

Bottom Line
Despite being a copy, we don’t have any complaints whatsoever concerning this new addition to Gameburger Studios’ lineup of scintillating casino slot machines. In fact, we see it as a golden opportunity for all punters out there to test their luck with a top-notch slot mechanic on two disparate themes.
