Game Overview
Has one of our favourite slot leprechauns decided to sober up, or does he need to refill his gold pot enough to pay a considerable bar bill after a lengthy session? I guess we’ll never know, but Tippy from Tippy Tavern is back collecting his coins in Tippy’s Golden Pot slot from Snowborn Games, a highly volatile 5-reel, 4-row, and 1,024 ways-to-win that has a potential win topping out at 10,000x the stake, and a 96% RTP.
So what fun and games can we expect from the mischievous Tippy this time? Well, there’s actually more packed into this slot than you might think at first glance. While there’s not a huge amount going on in the base game, there are randomly triggered wild transformations and the chance to win one of three jackpots, the biggest of which can grow to as much as 10,000x the stake. As for the main bonus game, this impressed me the most about Tippy’s Golden Pot, and that’s quite the feat as I’m not usually a fan of Hold & Win games. It has countless special symbols offering different modifiers, whether standard money symbols, collectors, payers, or multipliers. It’s also possible to unlock two additional rows, giving you more space to land those special symbols.
I might have spoiled this review a little bit, as it’s quite easy to determine my thoughts on this slot already. That said, I’ve been wrong more times than I can remember, so you might want to check out Tippy’s Golden Pot slot demo before taking my opinion as gospel.
Tippy’s Golden Pot Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Let’s be honest here for a minute, there are more Leprechaun/Irish-themed slots shoring up online casino lobbies than I’ve had hot dinners, and that’s quite a few, as I’m no longer the spring chicken I was 10 years ago. The thing is, not many of them are up to scratch, at least for me, though there are some exceptions. One that instantly pops into my head, but maybe not that of others, is the underrated Leprechaun’s Magic Power Reels from Max Win Gaming. It offers more winning potential than Tippy’s Golden Pot but doesn’t offer the same thrilling gameplay. I also have to give notable mentions to Blue Guru’s Leprechaun Heist and 4ThePlayer’s 3 Lucky Leprechauns, two other Leprechaun-themed slots that earned good ratings here at Demoslot.
You know what? It might be a premature stance, but I feel this title could stand up to any of those, so let’s get back on track by starting with the payouts offered on the reels of Tippy’s Golden Pot. Eight regular symbols can spin in during the base game, the most valuable being the Mushroom, which will reward 3x the stake win when landed in a full line of five. I’m not sure how Mushrooms, or indeed the Acorn symbol paying 2.5x for a complete line, are related to luck, but there you go. The Four-Leafed Clover (more like it!) is worth up to 2.2x, and the Butterfly (sigh) rewards a maximum of 2x. At their best, the bog standard Ace King, Queen, and Jack will deliver 1.2x, 1x, 0.8x, and 0.6x, respectively. There are also Wild symbols present on the reels, and these can take the place of any regular paying symbol whenever a winning combo is possible.
Real money players looking to get into the emerald isle action can start the lucky reels from a minimum of €0.10, with the max stake on the slot reaching €25. It could be argued the top end may not appeal to the very highest of rollers, but let’s face it, 99.99% of punters will find a suitable stake to play at within the allowed range.
Tippy’s Golden Pot Slot Base Game & Modifiers
Tippy’s Golden Pot is played over a 5×4 reel configuration with 1,024 active ways to win. There’s not much to explain with regard to forming wins across this format, as it’s as simple as lining up a minimum of 3 matching symbols on successive reels starting from the leftmost reel.
Tippy Spin
Randomly, there’s a chance of triggering a Tippy Spin that could convert symbols on the reels into wild symbols. This can happen on any spin, but only in the base game.
Tippy Pots
It’s impossible not to notice Tippy sitting beside the side of the reels, giving you a thumbs up as you spin the reels, which results in his pot filling up with gold. I’m glad he appreciates our help as he gets closer to clearing that aforementioned bar bill. However, the joke is on him, as the Tippy Pot feature gives us a chance to get our hands on those coins. Each time a wild symbol lands on the reels, one of the following three jackpots will increase by 0.5x:
- Minor: It starts at 10x the stake, can increase as high as 100x, and is increased by the Purple Wild Symbol.
- Major: It starts at 50x the stake, can increase as high as 500x, and is increased by the Green Wild Symbol.
- Mega: It starts at 1,000x the stake, can increase as high as 10,000x and is increased by the Red Wild Symbol.
It’s possible to trigger the Tippy Pots Jackpot feature on any spin, as this happens randomly, and once it does, you’re guaranteed to win one of the above jackpots. The game itself is straightforward, as you just spin a wheel to determine which of the three you win. Once claimed, the winning jackpot resets back to its seed value for the next spin.
Tippy’s Golden Pot Slot Bonus Features
Unless you enjoy base game spins more than you should, your aim will be to land the three or more scatter symbols needed to trigger the main Tippy’s Golden Pot bonus game. It really should be, too, as this is an entertaining Hold and Win bonus game featuring a bunch of special symbols and modifiers. What I found cool was that before the bonus starts, you’re taken through what each of those symbols does and can click on each symbol individually. Other slots leave you scratching your head about what is going on until you delve through the game rules.
The number of triggering bonus scatter symbols will determine how many spins and symbols you start with.
- 3 Scatter Symbols: You start with 3 respins, no Stars, and 3 Coins with a random value of 1x – 9x.
- 4 Scatter Symbols: You start with 4 respins, 3 Stars, and 4 Coins with a random value of 1x – 9x.
- 5 Scatter Symbols: You start with 4 respins, 6 Stars, and 4 Coins with a random value of 1x – 9x.
Bonus Game
Aside from the Coin symbols you begin with, all other positions on the reels are blank, and the aim is to land new symbols to reset your respins and increase how much you win on each. The symbols that can land on the reels are the following:
- Coin Symbols: These are standard cash symbols offering values of 1x to 50x your bet.
- Star Symbols: Each time a Star lands, it is collected above the reels and once you break the 3 and 6 milestones, you receive an extra spin on each re-trigger and a Persistent Collector Chest, respectively.
- Diamond Symbol: You might have noticed two locked rows above the active reels, and one of these unlocks each time a Diamond symbol lands. With both additional rows unlocked, you’re now spinning on reels that are 6 rows high.
- Jug Symbol: A Jug Full of Beer will hold a value of 1x – 9x, which it also adds to all other symbol values.
- Barrel Symbol: Otherwise known as a Persistent Payer, the Barrel also holds a value of between 1x and 9x but adds that value to all other values after every spin.
- Pouch Symbol: Essentially a Collector Symbol, the Pouch holds 1x-9x and also collects the values of all other symbols.
- Chest Symbol: This is a Persistent Collector, which performs the same role as the above Collector symbol but on every spin.
- Tippy Symbol: The Tippy Symbol will hold a multiplier value of 2x – 9x, which it applies to all other values after each spin.
Tippy Gold
You’re in a good place if you manage to turn one of the symbols into a Tippy Gold symbol, as this is when the big multipliers come into play. When a Coin, Pouch, Jug, or Barrel symbol reaches 250x, they’re converted into a Tippy Gold symbol of the same value, while it’s possible to create a 2,500x Tippy Gold symbol if the Chest Symbol ever reaches that value. It’s also possible for the Tippy Gold symbols to get collected by the Chest or Pouch symbols on a re-spin.
Bonus Buy
For players lucky enough (or not, depending on how you look at it) to live in jurisdictions that allow the option to buy the free spins bonus, Tippy’s Golden Pot obliges by offering a guaranteed 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols for 40x, 80x, or 250x your spin bet, respectively.
Pros
- The main bonus game offers plenty of potential and a nice wedge of fun at the same time.
- Up to 10,000x in jackpot wins is a welcome addition to the base game.
Cons
- Lower maximum win and RTP than the original.
Tippy's Golden Pot Slot Review Final Thoughts
There’s no pleasing everyone, so I know some of you will disagree, but I think Tippy’s Golden Pot is a great little slot from Snowborn Games. I’ve come to that conclusion mainly because it’s obvious how much effort has gone into the developer’s latest title. The Hold & Win bonus game offers huge potential thanks to the many special symbols available, and that alone is so refreshing when other slots offer bog-standard Hold & Win games that do nothing but bore. The Tippy Jackpot Feature is a nice touch, too, as it rightly or wrongly persuades you to play longer to fill up the jackpots and potentially win up to 10,000x.
Good
