When you think of Christmas, what comes to mind? Irish mythical creature? Then the Leprechaun Carol slot is perfect for you.
At first glance, it looks like Pragmatic Play studios simply put a Christmas hat on the Leprechaun Song slot character and added some snow to create this Leprechaun Carol mobile slot.
And you wouldn’t be wrong. This is almost an exact copy of that game, in as much as it has 5 reels, 20 paylines, and has mega symbols, 3 free spins features, pick-me-game, and lots of random slot bonuses.
But, much like Ho Ho Tower slot and Hong Tower game, which look the same but have very subtle differences.
The true difference comes when you look at the paytable. Namely, they’ve double the amount you can win in some of the 5 of a kind wins – because Christmas phone slots are only good if they are generous.
The RTP of Leprechaun Carol is 96.53% – an improvement on Leprechaun Song which is 96.46%.
So why is Carol getting 4 stars where Song got 5 stars? Well, honestly, it’s because Carol won’t be for everyone, namely because it is so volatile.
The fun of the original was all those little to mid wins making you feel like singing and dancing, now a lot of the bigger wins are reserved for the free spin bonus games.
The thing is that we love the mechanics of this Leprechaun Carol online slot. You get random features with extra wilds and mega symbols, keeping you on the edge of your seat.
And then you have 3 great free spins features, all of which are equally good. Usually with multiple bonus free game options, one or the other is lame – like in Halloween slot for example.
But here any one that you get is fun to play and you feel like you could get major wins on any spins thanks to some huge features and multipliers.
An almost perfect Irish Christmas gem.

Wilds: The Rainbow symbol is the wild and can substitute any another symbol over any of the paylines. But it cannot replace the scatter.
Raining Wilds: On any spin, you can get a random number of rainbow wild symbols added to the screen - usually around 3 to 5.
Pick A Fiddle: Again, randomly after any spin you can pick a click me bonus where you pick from Fiddle to win cash prizes; from 2x to 10x your bet.
Giant Symbol: Another random bonus is when a giant symbol will cover a 3x3 space - in as much as they cover 3 whole reels.
Scatters and Free Spins: Three pots of gold scatter symbols on screen will win you one of three Leprechaun Carol free spin bonuses.
We really enjoyed this Leprechaun Carol slot on mobile, though if you liked the original Leprechaun Song this version might seem a little slower and less generous.
In fact, it's quite the opposite, with much bigger wins available, they are just a little harder to find.
Still, you can't deny the number; this real money slot pays out more and bigger amounts, so if you are chasing a big volatile Christmas mobile game with an Irish slot theme... then you have very specific tastes.
And you would have found your perfect holiday treat. So there's that too.
