Slot Overview

The Blarney Stone is an Irish-themed online slot release from Pragmatic Play featuring a free spins bonus, a progressive jackpot round, and a standard max win of 12,000x. So, is it set to be all smiles on the Emerald Isle? Join us as we investigate this game further.

Gameplay & Bonus Features

Pragmatic Play’s The Blarney Stone is played over a 5-reel, 3-row interface with 25 fixed paylines active throughout. The RTP, due to the progressive jackpots’ contribution, is a little low at 94.50%, whilst players have the option to place real-money bets ranging from €0.25 up to €125.

The core mechanic revolves around two complementary symbol types that work together to deliver instant cash prizes. Money symbols appear across reels 1 through 4, while Collect symbols land exclusively on reel 5 to trigger the payouts.

Money Symbols

Every spin generates money symbols with random values pulled from a predetermined set. These values range from modest 1x and 2x multipliers up to substantial 35x total bet prizes, with key increments at 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 18x, 20x, 25x, and 30x your stake.

Some money symbols carry special jackpot designations instead of fixed values. These premium versions unlock access to the Jackpot Reveal Bonus Game when collected properly.

The magic happens when a Collect symbol hits reel 5 while one or more Money symbols occupy the screen. The collect symbol immediately gathers all visible money symbol values, adds them together, and pays out the combined total as an instant win.

Jackpot-designated money symbols follow different rules. When a Collect symbol appears alongside any Jackpot Money symbols, it triggers one Jackpot Reveal Bonus Game for each Jackpot symbol present. Multiple jackpot symbols result in sequential bonus rounds.

Jackpot Reveal Bonus Game

This picking-style bonus features four distinct jackpot tiers, each carrying fixed values based on your total bet. The Grand jackpot delivers 1000x your stake, while Large pays 200x, Medium offers 100x, and Small provides 50x your total bet.

The gameplay involves selecting symbols on screen to reveal hidden jackpot icons. Your goal is matching three identical jackpot symbols, which immediately awards the corresponding prize tier and concludes the bonus round.

Free Spins Feature

Landing three scatter symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 simultaneously triggers eight free spins. The money collect feature remains fully active throughout this bonus round, maintaining the same collection mechanics and payout potential.

Theme & Design

Visually, The Blarney Stone does little wrong, and as with most Pragmatic Play slots, the graphics are incredibly clear, and the winning animations are as smooth as silk. However, in a genre as oversaturated as the Irish slot niche, it does little to capture the imagination. In fairness though, it is still far more modern in design than other popular retro titles in the Irish genre, such as Rainbow Riches or Rainbow Riches Megaways, so it does have that going for it, at least.
