Spoiler – there is no way to trick a video slot, but the guide does give you some useful tips on how to play slot to maximise your winnings and minimise your lossses.

• Castle of Fire (Pragmatic Play)

Pragmatic Play is arguably the leader in slot game developers and with Castle of Fire, they cement this position. The game has breathtaking visuals, with smooth gameplay and rewarding features.

Castle of Fire was a 6×3 reel grid layout with 729 ways to win on normal spins, but when Mystery Symbols added more symbols to the reels, the ways to win increased. The RTP is 96.01%, and the game volatility is high. Along with Scatter symbols that trigger Free Spins, Mystery Symbols offer big symbol combinations. The Free Spins feature can also be purchased at any time.

• Mystery Symbol: Mystery Symbols may appear on any of the reels, and they will appear at random. All Mystery Symbols on the screen will reveal themselves to show the same paying symbols (that excludes the Scatter symbols). A Mystery Symbol will also reveal either 1, 2, or 3 of the paying symbols, increasing the number of ways to win by adding more symbols to the screen.
• Free Spins: Every time 3 or more Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels, 12 free spins will be awarded. During the Free Spins round, all Mystery Symbols that land will become sticky and will lock into place until the Free Spins feature is over. At the end of each free spin, the Mystery Symbols will all reveal the same symbol, with each Mystery Symbol showing from 1 to 3 symbols. The Free Spins feature cannot be retriggered during the Free Spins round.
• Buy Free Spins: Players also have the option to purchase the Free Spins feature instead of waiting for 3 Scatter symbols to land naturally. The purchase price will be 100x the current total bet. After the purchase, the reels will spin and 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols will land, triggering the bonus feature.

Castle of Fire fits in perfectly with a large number of Pragmatic Play online slots. Gates of Olympus and Gates of Olympus 1000 because of their godly and magical theme. Then there is the Twilight Princess slot title, which gives you the opposite of the main female character on the Castle of Fire slot. One is firey and delicate and sweet, so take your pick. Actually, the difference between Castle of Fire and Twilight Princess reminds me of BetSoft’s Good Girl Bad Girl slot that includes good and evil all in one slot.

Spin Bet Combination Multipliers: Combination multipliers are awarded when 3 or more identical symbols land according to one of the 729 ways to win. Symbols must land from left to right on adjacent reels to unlock a payout multiplier. Depending on the symbol, different multipliers will be awarded. When the maximum of 6 matching symbols land (one of each of the 6 reels), the multiplier per symbol will be the following: Scatter Symbol (500x), female character (8x), tiger (6x), wolf (5x), crown (4x), ring/potion (3.5x), A/K (3x), Q/J/10 (2.5x).

• Keepers of the Secret (BGaming)

BGaming has released yet another magical and wonderful slot game with the name of Keepers of the Secret. The theme takes players into a lost and forgotten world to uncover the rewards that lay there.

Keepers of the Secret is a 5-reel slot with 3 rows in each reel. There are 20 fixed paylines on which symbol combinations are made. The game volatility is high and the theoretical RTP is 97.02%. To reach the staggering maximum payout multiplier of 10,000x, players have Wild Symbols, Scatter Symbols, Free Spins, and the Jaquar Feature to help them.

• Wild Symbol: A wild symbol is present on all the reels and may appear during any spin at random. When it lands, it serves as a substitution symbol for any of the regular paying symbols. Wilds are also present during the Free Spins feature where they will become sticky once they land, so they will remain in place until the feature is over.
• Jaguar Feature: Jaguar symbols will also land on the reels at random. The symbols send a Jaguar shooting across the screen. When a symbol is shot 3 times, it will turn into a Wild symbol. For every additional shot after that, the Wild’s multiplier will increase.
• Free Spins: Scatter symbols will randomly appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. When 3 Scatters appear, 12 free spins are awarded in a Free Spins Feature.

BGaming has come up with yet another excellent slot title that gives players a breath of fresh air. It is difficult to compare this game to alternatives, but if you like Keep of the Secret and its mystery theme, then you  may also like the following slots: Luck & Magic x99, Aztec Magic Megaways, Aztec Magic Bonanza, Lucky Lady’s Clover, or Lady Wolf Moon. You can test them out in demo mode at any online casino listed on our BGaming slots developer guide. You’ll also find a list of some of the brand’s most popular slot like Elvis Frog in Vegas and Miss Cherry Fruits!

Spin Bet Combination Multipliers: Symbol combination multipliers are awarded when 3 or more identical symbols land on one of the 20 fixed paylines. The maximum multiplier is awarded when 5 matching symbols land and the multiplier will be the following per symbol: Wild (50x), ring (37.5x), coin (25x), man symbol (12.5x), mask (5x), A/K/Q/J/10 (1.25x).

• Vault Cracker Megaways (Red Tiger Gaming)

Vault Cracker Megaways is more than just a slot game. It is an exciting story where players can join the vault robber world. This Megaways version is a follow-up to the Vault Cracker slot that Red Tiger released previously.

Vault Cracker Megaways is a 6-reel and 7-row video slot that features up to 117,649 ways to win. Symbols are different sizes, so every spin has unique ways to win. The game volatility is high, and the RTP is 95.68%. This slot is both highly rewarding and highly entertaining, with features like the Hold-up Artist, Heist Master, Rivalry, Cash Safe Symbols, and Cascading Reels.

• Cascading Reels: Every time that symbols form a winning combination, the winnings will be paid after which the symbols will disappear. This will make space for new symbols to drop in from above and new combinations to be made. The feature continues until there are no more winning combinations to be made.
• Cash Safes: Cash safes will appear on the reels containing random cash prizes. To claim these cash prizes, there also needs to be a Heist Master or a Hold-up Artist. There are 3 different color cash safes with red rewarding up to 5x, blue up to 15x, and yellow up to 30x.
• Hold-up Artist: The Hold-up Artist may land anywhere on the reels and when it does it will crack open all the safes to unlock the cash prizes.
• Heist Master: The Heist Master symbol can land anywhere during a regular spin. Once it lands, it will initiate a heist with more spins to land more cash safes. When a reel is filled with safes, it gets an additional multiplier.
• Rivalry Feature: During the heist that is initiated by the Heist Master, one Scarlet Rogue symbol may land on each of the reels. When the Scarlet symbol lands, it will trigger a rivalry wheel spin and when it lands on the Heist Master the heist will continue but when it lands on the Scarlet symbol she will steal all the money away.

Other Megaays slots by Red Tiger Gaming that were released recently (the latter part of 2023) include Nightmare Familay Megaways, Judgement Days Megaways, and Gem’s Inferno Megaways. Also, as safe cracking is a crime caper, you may like Bounty Raid 2 or the original Bounty Raid online slot. Bugsy’s Bar is another great slot, but not exactly in the same theme category, so to speak, but close enough. Its mafia-style gameplay may interest you – it is loosely based on Bugsy Malone, an old film and play popular back in the 70s.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Spin Bet Combination Multipliers: To secure a bet combination multiplier, matching symbols as per the paytable need to land on 3 or more reels going from left to right on adjacent reels. With different-size symbols, there are a total of 117,649 ways to win making it a Megaways slot game. When each of the 6 reels contains the same symbol, the multiplier for each of the symbols will be as follows: cash bag (5x), necklace (1.2x), piggybank (1x), gun (0.8x), A (0.6x), K/Q (0.5x), J/10 (0.4x).

They all pay when 3, 4, or 5 land on pay line beginning from reel 1.

• Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Play 3 (Blueprint Gaming)

The new online slot game Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Play 3 brings a fun Irish theme with pots of gold, rainbows, and leprechauns to the world of modern video slots. This 5-reel, 20-payline game blends classic symbols like four-leaf clovers with innovative features for both traditional and modern slot players.

• Money Spins: One exciting innovation is the Money Spins bonus round. This bonus game, triggered by special symbols, provides 3 free spins with the chance to collect coin prizes or four fixed jackpot amounts. Landing additional special symbols during the round re-triggers more free spins, allowing players to potentially win up to the 1,000x mega jackpot.
• Fortune Play: Another compelling feature is Fortune Play, which for a 10x stake activates four sets of reels with transferring mystery symbols between them. This adds volatility and opens up opportunities for bigger payouts.

While not overflowing with features, the graphics stay true to the lucky Irish theme and the 95% RTP and 50,000x max win give nice winning potential. Fans of Irish-themed slots should appreciate this solid new addition that merges a hint of nostalgia with some modern slot perks. The “Money Spins” bonus in particular provides the biggest promise for substantial payouts.

Blueprint Gaming and plenty of other software providers develop Irish themed online slots. Like book slots and Egyptian themed games, they are a dime a dozen because the themes are so popular. Therefore, rather than give you a selection of Irish-themed slots as an alternative. Check out the International Gaming Awards 2023 Game of the Year  in the Games Studio Category – Fishin’ Pots of Gold developed by Game Burger Studios. It derives from Irish themed slot titles like 9 Pots of Gold, and 9 Pots of Gold Megaways. If you are not a member of an online casino, then pick up a no deposit bonus and play with free spins or bonus money for free!

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Combinations pay from left to right with the first symbol always landing on reel 1, then the next symbols on consecutive reels. Therefore, a 3-symbols win will show the same symbol on reels 1-2-3. There are 9 regular symbols that pay when 3 to 5 land on a pay lines, and they pay the following amounts for 5-symbols combination wins: Pot of Gold (25x), Red Gem (20x), Blue Gem (15x), Green Gem (15x), A (10x), K (10x), Q (5x), J (5x), 10 (5x).
