If it’s not dragons, it’s Vikings or an ancient Egyptian theme. Pragmatic Play’s Pot of Fortune takes you to the land of the Green Isle with beautiful leprechauns. At a glance, the slot appears underwhelming, but don’t let that deceive you.
At least for now until you’ve read our review of the slot game. With 5 reels, 20 paylines, and 4 rows it’s a simple affair. The RTP is 96% with bets from 20 cents to $240 per spin.
The jackpot is 5,000x your stake, so you’re looking at a slot with a jackpot of more than $1 million. Judging by the size of the jackpot we rate the slot a 9/10 in terms of volatility.
The game art is not as good as we would have liked but hey that’s Pragmatic Play for you. As we lift the hood of the slot it has a Free Spins feature and a Buy Option.
The audio track has that upbeat ring to it which is typical of the theme. The low-value symbols are card suites from 10 to Ace that pay as much as 5x the stake.
The premium symbol is the female leprechaun. The rest of the top-paying symbols are the boots, beer mug, hat, and pipe. The premium pays 125x your stake when 5 matching symbols land.
You need three or more matching symbols to land a cash prize. A variety of wilds such as the golden wild pot and the gold coin substitute symbols during winning combos.
Pragmatic Play did not include the average free spins trigger or your chances of winning the jackpot.
Features & Gameplay
Free Spins
Six or more golden pot scatters on the reels initiate 8 free spins. Note that the free spins feature does not offer any retriggers. Sadly both wilds don’t appear during the free spins. You’ll play with the symbols that triggered the bonus game.
Moreover, they become sticky gold coins that remain on the reels until the free spins feature ends.
Buy Option
If you don’t want to hang around for 6 or more scatters to pop. You can always buy your free spins for a fee of 80x your stake.

What We Like About Pot of Fortune
The slot doesn’t offer much as such it leaves you with the free spins feature. The sticky wilds stick to the reels until the bonus ends are a bonus.
Tips & Strategy
We played the slots for free on Pragmatic Play’s website which became a slog. The biggest payout we got in the base game was 10x when a few matching symbols pitched. Our average stake was $2 per spin.
Before we used the Auto Play feature we picked our betting range at $2 per spin. When playing volatile slots like this one that betting range usually works well for us.
Next up, we clicked the Auto Play feature and selected 50 free spins for a budget of $100. We didn’t win much so we decided to test the feature buy option.
We threw the kitchen sink at for the maximum wager of $240 per spin. The fee for 8 free spins cost is $19,200 and we won $22,200, therefore a profit of $3,000.
You can play the slot machine to win more money with a bonus as it boosts your budget. However, be careful because the game’s volatility isn’t always bonus-friendly. Unless, of course, you’re lucky.
Verdict: Pot of Fortune Slot
Pragmatic Play doesn’t cover itself in glory with the Pot of Fortune slot. It goes through the motions with a free spins feature that awards up to 8 free spins.
That’s pretty much the buck right there because there are no multiplier wins only wild combinations. We didn’t spend too much time with the game since our initial appraisal wasn’t a good one.
Why waste our time with a rather mediocre slot, right? We went full out at $240 testing the feature buy option with 8 free spins. We made a profit albeit it was $3,000 in dummy money.
The wins can be sublime but you need a bunch of high-value symbols for that. Even during the testing phase, we saw that the high-value symbols seldom land. As we conclude our review of the slot, we don’t think we’ll play it for real money.
It looks like Pragmatic Play was on their way to watch the Super Bowl when they designed it. Is there a slot machine that offers me better value for more or more fun to play?
Yes, D-Day from Nolimit City screams “PLAY ME” from the very first spin. It offers a life-changing jackpot of 55,555x the stake, and it has a truckload of special features.
