Gold Hit: O’Reilly’s Riches

We've been on a bit of an Irish-themed online slots drive here of late, and while it may feel like we're targeting Irish players, it's really just that there are so many Irish-themed online slot games. Gold Hit: O'Reilly's Riches slot is another that places a leprechaun front and centre as the main character. With a free spins feature plus cash symbols that get collected, you could just take a renewed liking to leprechauns.

When looking at the grid of Gold Hit: O'Reilly's Riches slot, you'll be a little perplexed at first. This is because the first 2 reels have 4 rows, the 3rd and 4th have 6 rows, and the 5th reel has 8 rows. Not very conventional, but it does lend itself to 4,608 paylines on which you can land 3, 4 and 5 of a kind winning combinations. As already discussed, the theme is 100% Irish with a jolly leprechaun, green rolling hills in the background and some stereotypical Irish music.

Ash gaming is the online casino games developer that created Gold Hit: O'Reilly's Riches and the studio has made the biggest possible reward as high as 2,500x your stake. This isn't the highest maximum reward of all our Foxy Games slots, but no one will be complaining if you actually achieve it. This is one of the more volatile slots online you can play here, so playing with a sensible strategy is always best.

We often feel like we repeat ourselves a lot when reviewing Irish-themed slot machines, mostly because the symbols are basically the same from slot to slot. In Gold Hit: O'Reilly's Riches, the higher-paying icons include a horse shot, a leprechaun's tobacco pipe, a sheep wearing shades, a ladybug perched upon a four-leaf clover and the pesky leprechaun himself. The symbols with lower values consist of playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.

There are a few extra symbols in Gold Hit: O'Reilly's Riches, starting with the wild. This symbol substitutes all others, much like a joker would playing cards. The only symbols it can't substitute are the bonus symbol, the gold coin and a standard four-leaf clover (no ladybug).

Coins with cash values will land in regular or bonus play. When you land one on a reel, it will remain in place for three spins. Landing another on the same reel resets the sticky aspect to 3 spins. Filling a reel with coins will see that combined cash value paid to you. If you have a clover coin in a reel stacked with coins, then you'll be randomly awarded one of the Mini, Minor, Major or Mega jackpots, with the Mega worth 500x your stake.

Landing 3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols will award you with 10, 12 or 15 free spins. During free spins, coins will lock in place for the full duration of spins, and when a reel gets filled with coins, you'll be able to spin a wheel to increase the value of the coins by up to 10x.

When you feel like you've seen the same thing far too many times, you can become quite resistant to it, but try to avoid this mental block when it comes to Gold Hit: O'Reilly's Riches. The theme might be stale, but the coins that fall really do bring added value, while the free spins only heighten the impact the coins bring.
