How to play 9 Pots of Gold

Four things decide every spin: the lines, the Wild, the pots and the Free Spins coins. Here they are in the order you'll meet them.

01The reels and the lines

The game runs on 5 reels of 3 symbols with 20 fixed paylines. Line symbols are the lucky sevens, the top hat, the harp, the four-leaf clover and the BAR. Matching symbols pay from the leftmost reel along an active line; three in a row is the minimum.

02The toadstool Wild

The red spotted toadstool is the Wild. It stands in for any line symbol to complete a win and is also the most valuable line symbol on its own. It does not replace the pots or the Free Spins symbols.

03Pots of gold — the game's namesake

The pots of gold are scatters. They ignore the lines and count anywhere on the 15 positions. The prize ladder next to the reels shows what they pay:

04Free Spins coins and the wheel

The green Free Spins symbols appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. One on each of those reels starts the feature: a rainbow wheel spins and picks 10 to 30 free games with a 2× or 3× multiplier on line wins. All the details are on the free games page.

05A first session in the demo

  1. Open the review page and press play — it's play money.
  2. Keep an eye on the ladder on the left: every pot moves it up.
  3. Count the Free Spins coins on the middle three reels — two is a near miss.
  4. In the free games, compare line wins with pot prizes: only line wins are multiplied.
