This Irish Frenzy slot from Bluprint is yet another game that revolves around the luck of the Irish, and before we’ve even looked we’re expecting the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, lucky leprechauns, and lucky shamrocks. When we do look we find we’ve named half the symbols on the reels before we have even played.
Blueprint Gaming is a leading UK-based game studio and is part of the German Gauselmann Group. The iGaming developer has released some exciting and big named titles including the Deal or No Deal Megaways, Ted Jackpot King and the Diamond Mine trio, and is an established trusted brand within the industry.
The Irish Frenzy slot launched in 2019 and is a simply 5 reel, 10 pay line game with free spins, and a top payout of 5,000 coins. It’s a solid game and plays along with the traditional video slot format, but it’s a tired theme, available in so many other similar games.
Irish Frenzy was developed by an Australian developer called Reel Time Gaming, but the entire Frenzy series of slots is out on license from Blueprint Gaming currently so this is considered a Blueprint Gaming game. Blueprint are a UK based company that operate under the umbrella of German brand The Gauselmann Group.
Irish Frenzy hit the market on 15th April 2009.
Irish Frenzy works on RTP range, and that starts at 96.5%. The RTP range is a theoretical pay-out based on calculations and algorithms and don’t really reflect your casino play.
Irish Frenzy is a five-reel, 10 pay line game played across three rows, in traditional video slot, multi-line format. Your coin size played will be multiplied by the number of lines.
Irish Frenzy is based on traditional video slots and adventure slots, all based on cabinet games of the same format.
Irish Frenzy is playable on all devices, Android, iOS and others that use the Javascript or HMTL5 format.
Irish Frenzy is a medium to high variance game, which could mean some dry spells between wins, but some big wins too, especially if you’re a high roller! High variance games may not pay out so often but when they do they often give bigger rewards to players.
The minimum bet on Diamond Mine slot is 0.1 coins, the maximum 100 coins. The jackpot is 5,000 times your stake.
Free spins pretty much are the bonus round in Irish Frenzy, with no other bonus triggers, which may explain the high variance.
To trigger free spins you’re looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, as this acts as the Scatter symbol to secure you some free spins, and possibly free wins too. 3,4 or 5 scatters will score you 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. The Leprechaun comes into play here as he’s the wild card and could secure you wins of up to 500 times your stake.
It’s all pretty standard and if you’ve played any online slot before it’s all going to feel very average for the industry, especially as it’s the only bonus round on site.
The only thing that sets Irish Frenzy apart is a buy-in feature. Rather than wait to land the scatters for free spins you can buy in for 70 times your stake.
It’s a simple slot and a pretty decent take on what is, ultimately, a very old theme.
A standard slot game, Irish Frenzy is played over 5 reels and 10 pay lines. With spins from 0.1 to 100 coins it should appear to all kinds of casino players, both high and low rollers, but whichever you are, remember to play within your own limits, or there won’t be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, just a lot of rain.
It’s a decent remake of a classic game, and the free spins feature is exciting and pays generously and boasts a jackpot of 5,000x whatever the coin size you are playing.
Before we even explored the Irish Frenzy game, we had a fair idea of what to expect and for us, this theme has just been so overdone that it feels a little tired. The whole “Luck of the Irish” as a promotional tool for casinos is started to fade, the shamrocks a little tattered at the edges, and we honestly feel that there isn’t much more room for games with shamrocks and little leprechauns.
That said, these games are popular and as many say ‘if it ain’t broke, why fix it?’ so if you love traditional slots then this is a pretty good take on the theme making it a decent remake of an old classic.
The free spins feature is pretty decent and we like the buy-in function, even if it does come in a little steep at 70 coins, it’s just a shame that this is the only bonus round.
Overall we still think this will be a hit for players, Irish Frenzy is operated by Blueprint Gaming who are a trusted name in the iGaming world, and the game, while a little unoriginal is solid with decent sound effects, good gameplay and half-decent graphics too.
If you try it out, we hope you get the luck of the Irish with some big wins, look out for those ‘Pot of Gold’ Scatters and the ‘Leprechaun’ Wilds for the best wins along the way!
