Play’n GO’s Leprechaun’s Diamond Dig explores the usual Irish theme from a mining angle. Instead of a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, the focus here is on diamonds that can be swept up by moving minecarts. The result is a slot that mixes regular paylines with collection features. It is one of those slot games where the entertainment comes just as much from the features as it does from line wins.
The setting trades rolling green hills for a forest gorge, with wooden tracks stretching above the reels. Two minecarts sit on the tracks, waiting to spring into action, and when they do the animation ties them neatly into the flow of the game. On the reels, the higher-value icons stay close to the mining idea: a lantern, pickaxe, leprechaun’s hat, and cart wheel. The leprechaun himself acts as the scatter, and playing card symbols add the familiar low-paying filler. What stands out most are the diamond bonus symbols, since they not only create line wins but also hold prize values that can later be collected through the cart features.
All payouts are shown as multipliers of the total bet.
Symbol | 2 of a Kind | 3 of a Kind | 4 of a Kind | 5 of a Kind |
Leprechaun Hat | 1x | 5x | 20x | 200x |
Lantern | - | 4x | 15x | 100x |
Pickaxe | - | 3x | 10x | 50x |
Wheel | - | 3x | 10x | 50x |
A, K, Q, J, 10 | - | 1x | 3x | 10x |
Two carts sit above the reels. At random, the leprechaun can appear and make them “lucky,” which sets up the diamond collection features.
When only one cart is active above a reel, it collects all the diamonds sitting below on that reel.
When both carts stop above the same reel, the Mega Blast feature kicks in. This gathers every diamond on the grid at once, which can create a big payout swing, especially when multipliers come into play.
Three or more scatters trigger 10 free spins. Both minecarts are always active during this round, so blasts can happen on any spin. The scatter payouts still apply, with four or five scatters adding a cash prize on top of the spins.
During free spins, clover symbols can land anywhere on the reels. Whenever three are collected, the Mega Blast multiplier steps up and extra spins are added:
The multiplier applies to diamond collections during Mega Blasts, so building it up is the key to the game’s bigger wins. Additionally, the system also extends the round, though there is a cap of 30 spins in total and a maximum multiplier of x25.
The slot is played on 5 reels with 12 fixed paylines. Regular line wins pay from left to right, starting from the first reel, while scatter wins count from anywhere. Diamond symbols are handled differently: their prize values, ranging from 1x to 50x the bet, are only activated when collected by the minecarts. These symbols can create line wins and pay out as well. The largest potential win in the game is 3,000x the total bet, achievable when Mega Blast collects diamonds under a boosted multiplier during free spins.
While many games in this genre lean heavily on wilds and scatter-based free spins, Leprechaun’s Diamond Dig feels more interactive thanks to the minecarts. Watching them sweep up diamonds adds movement and anticipation, especially when they line up for a Mega Blast. The base game is fairly modest, but once free spins land, the clovers and multipliers make the bonus round feel more layered and rewarding. It suits players who like watching a feature build up over time, rather than relying on one-off hits. The 3,000x maximum payout is in line with Play’n GO’s balanced approach, giving decent potential without drifting into extremes.
Overall, it is a polished release with a light-hearted theme, clear visuals, and a set of features that tie neatly into the mining concept.
