St. Patrick's Pots Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

St. Patrick’s Pots is an Irish-themed Hold and Win slot from BGaming that follows a cheerful leprechaun to the end of the rainbow, where pots of gold, clovers and jackpot prizes take centre stage.

Rather than saving its lucky theme exclusively for St. Patrick’s Day, the game turns it into a colourful treasure hunt built around three progressive Feature Pots that can become increasingly valuable as you play.

The action takes place on a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win, while the headline attraction is the Hold and Win bonus. During regular play, Special Symbols can upgrade the Boost, Jackpot and Min. Coin Feature Pots or send players directly into the bonus with one or more of these mechanics active.

With an RTP reaching 97.75%, medium volatility, a 38.29% hit frequency and maximum potential of 3,000x the bet, St. Patrick’s Pots combines familiar Irish imagery with a progression system that gives the base game a purpose beyond simply waiting for the bonus.

Game Features

The Wild can appear on reels 2-5 and substitutes for regular symbols when this helps complete a winning combination.

Special Symbols

The main game can overlay regular symbols with one of three coloured Special Symbols:

• Purple – Boost
  Red – Jackpot
  Orange – Min. Coin

Landing one can either improve its corresponding Feature Pot or trigger the Hold and Win with that particular feature active. Multiple Special Symbols can activate together, meaning the bonus may begin with as many as all three features in play.

Importantly, simply landing a Special Symbol does not guarantee an upgrade or bonus trigger.

Progressive Feature Pots

The three Feature Pots retain progression for the selected bet level, giving St. Patrick’s Pots an additional collection element.

• Boost Pot: starts at x2 and can progress as high as x10.
• Jackpot Pot: controls four jackpots. Mini starts at 20x and can rise to 50x, while Minor begins at 80x and can reach 150x. Major and Grand remain fixed at 200x and 500x, respectively.
• Min. Coin Pot: starts at 3x and can rise to 10x, increasing the minimum Coin value that can appear during Hold and Win.

Changing the stake does not permanently erase your progress. Each bet level retains its own Feature Pot state, so returning to a previous bet restores the progression associated with it.

Hold and Win

The Hold and Win starts with 3 spins and uses Coin Symbols carrying values of 1x to 20x the bet. Coins lock into their positions for the remainder of the feature, and every newly landed Coin resets the counter to 3 spins.

The round ends when no spins remain, the grid has been completely filled with Coins, or the game’s maximum-win limit has been reached. At that point, the values of the collected Coins are added together and awarded. The real twist is that up to three upgraded mechanics can modify the Hold and Win.

Boost Feature

When Boost is active, Boost Symbols increase the Coin values in their row. The strength of the increase comes from the accumulated Boost Pot. For example, reaching x5 means the corresponding Boost Symbols apply a x5 value.

This gives progressing the Boost Pot a direct impact on the potential of the next Hold and Win round.

Jackpot Feature

Activating Jackpot introduces Mini, Minor, Major and Grand Jackpot Symbols, with individual progress bars tracking each prize.

The required collections are:

Jackpots aren’t necessarily one-and-done prizes. The same Jackpot can potentially be completed multiple times during a bonus, while it is also possible to collect several different jackpots before the round ends, subject to the overall maximum win.

Min. Coin Feature

The Min. Coin mechanic removes weaker Coin values from the possible outcomes. If the Feature Pot has progressed to 8x, for example, Coins below 8x cannot appear during that Hold and Win. The minimum can eventually reach 10x, substantially improving the value of every new Coin that lands.

Triple Feature Potential

The strongest setup occurs when Boost + Jackpot + Min. Coin are all active together. Instead of three completely separate bonuses, their effects work simultaneously: Coin values can receive Boost improvements, weaker Coins are excluded by Min. Coin, and Jackpot Symbols can work towards the four fixed/progressive prizes.

This interaction between the three Feature Pots is the central mechanic that gives St. Patrick’s Pots more depth than a standard Hold and Win slot.

Buy Bonus

Where the feature is permitted, several Buy Bonus configurations provide different levels of access:

• 1 Feature – starts Hold and Win with one random special feature.
• 1-3 Features – starts the bonus with up to three randomly selected features.
• 3 Features – guarantees all three special features.
• Chance x2 – increases the probability of Special Symbols appearing during regular spins.

Purchased bonuses use random Feature Pot levels, while buying a feature does not wipe the progression already accumulated in the main game.
