About the Game

Dublin Up Pots O’ Gold Doublemax™ is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot with 25 paylines. Three or more matching symbols appearing on a payline, starting with the leftmost reel on consecutive reels, award a payout. The game features three regular high-paying symbols, represented by classic Irish characters and icons, and four low-paying symbols, represented by royal card symbols. Pot of Gold symbols, containing the cash value or name of a prize pot, also pay out when visible when linked to the leftmost reel. There’s a Wild symbol that appears in both the base game and free spins and substitutes for all regular symbols. There’s also a Bonus symbol that awards free spins when three or more appear visible in the base game only.

Game Rules

Pop and Drop Cascade Feature

Dublin Up Pots O’ Gold Doublemax™ features cascading wins.

Winning symbols are removed from the reels, and the resulting voids are filled with new symbols from above. During each cascade, one or two Wild symbols are added to the vacated positions before the symbols from above fall.

Multipliers

Each cascade doubles the total multiplier. The multiplier resets to x1 after any losing spin or cascade in the main game. During free spins, the multiplier does not reset until the end of the free spins feature. The multiplier can be x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32, x64, x128, x256, x512, x1024, x2048, x4096, x8192, x16384, x32768, or x65536.

Pot Prizes

Dublin Up Pots O’ Gold Doublemax™ features gold pot prizes. Instead of payline payouts, these pots are paid in visible range when they appear on three or more consecutive reels linked to the leftmost reel.

The total value of all pots linked to the leftmost reel is paid at the end of any cascade sequence, is not removed to create the next cascade, and is not multiplied by the DoubleMax multiplier. Wild symbols can bridge the gap to a pot symbol on the next reel to the right, but do not award a payout and do so only at the end of a cascade sequence.

Pot prizes on the first four reels can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times the base bet. Prize pots may appear on the 5th reel. These are MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, MAXI or GRAND, which reward 5, 10, 25, 100 or 1000 times the base bet, respectively.

Fairy Modifier Feature

The Fairy Reel Modifier Bonus is randomly activated after a spin in the main game. The fairy casts a spell on one or more symbols on the reels, removing them from the reels. This initiates a cascade that leads to a win.

Free Spins Bonus

When 3 bonus symbols appear within sight in the main game, 7 free spins are awarded. 4 bonus symbols within sight award 10 free spins. Landing 5 bonus symbols within sight awards 13 free spins. During the Free Spins feature, the multiplier starts at 1x. The multiplier continues to increase during the Free Spins bonus and does not reset until all free spins have been used. Free spins are played with the same bet as the activating spin. Free spins cannot be retriggered.

Free Spins Gamble

The Free Spins Gamble feature is activated when 3 or 4 bonus symbols appear in view or cascade within view during the base game. The player is given the choice between receiving the current free spins or gamble for a larger number in “all-or-nothing” mode. Selecting a gamble causes the indicator to spin. It can point to either green or red. Green is a win and advances the player to the next level of free spins. Red is a loss and ends the game round without free spins. A maximum of 2 gambles can be placed when starting with 3 bonus symbols in view. A maximum of 1 gamble is allowed when starting with 4 bonus symbols in view. The gamble ends when the top level is reached, the player collects the winnings, or a loss occurs.
