The Irish Luck Leprechauns genre is extremely popular, but we also know that a certain percentage of players love to hate it. For this crowd, Clover Gold by Pragmatic Play simply adds fuel to the fire, but there are several things that make this sequel worth a closer look. The rather generic theme isn’t one of them, but if you can stomach the packaging, there are sweet surprises underneath.
The bonus round multiplier/retrigger path is heavily inspired by Big Bass Bonanza, but the big difference is that you have 5 different collectible symbols in this version. One is a regular collectible symbol, while the other 4 contain win-increasing modifiers. All 5 are also active in the base game, giving you an enhanced Fishin’ Frenzy style experience.
Bonus Features at Clover Gold Slot
The premium symbols pay between 3.75 and 12.5 times your bet for 5 matches, and you also get Wild symbols that substitute for payout symbols to complete wins. Wilds can only appear on the 3 middle reels and have no value of their own. However, Wilds tend to land in stacks, which is always helpful.
The lucky 4-leaf clover is the money symbol and can only land on reels 1 through 4. However, you need a collect symbol on reel 5 to collect the money symbol values. There are 5 different collectible symbols, 4 of which have different enhancement features:
- Collect – is the regular collect symbol that simply collects all money symbol values.
- Extra Collect – adds its own value to all money symbols before they are collected.
- Multiplier Collect – boosts all money symbols with its multiplier before they are collected.
- Expanding Collect – every reel with a money symbol is filled with money symbols.
- Respins Collect – locks the current collect and money symbols in place, and a respin is then granted to hopefully bring you more money symbols to collect.
The bonus round is triggered when 3 bonus scatters appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, and this gives you 8 free spins. It plays out almost like the base game, but collection symbols are now collected in the path above the grid. For every 4th collectible symbol collected, you get +8 additional free spins, and the multiplier also increases to x2, x3 and then x5 for the third upgrade. After that you can’t upgrade anymore, and the multiplier only increases the money symbol collection wins.

This time you get a pretty good taste of the base game, and the bonus round is triggered at 2:38 in the 5-minute highlights video. The feature will play for the rest of the video, and you can see for yourself how far we’ve come on the upgrade path by clicking the play button below.
Rating Conclusion
Pragmatic Play (with Reel Kingdom) has had tremendous success with their Big Bass Bonanza series, so we understand the logic behind this release. We just wish the theme had been developed further, as it seems too superficial and generic. However, fans of the genre may not be too interested in such details, and you’ll get enough innovation in this installment to make it an attractive prospect.
We’re talking about the 4 modifier collector icons, of course, since they make the Fishin’ Frenzy inspired feature far more interesting than usual. We won’t be surprised if similar things are included in a future Big Bass release, and the bonus round in Clover Gold is very similar. Interestingly, the 5x top multiplier is only half that of Bonanza, but the 5,000x potential is more than doubled. It comes with a solid 1 in 941,619 probability, so overall this game is worth a try.
