Feel the luck of the Irish with Armadillo Studios Shamrock Surprise

Armadillo Studios is celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day in style with the launch of its latest release, Shamrock Surprise. Prepare to be captivated by enchanting Irish Folklore and embark on a quest to uncover treasure hidden across this special slot game by our mischievous Leprechaun.
Step into a world of luck and adventure with our 6×4, low-mid volatility slot that keeps the excitement alive with every spin. Seek out the legendary Leprechaun and his elusive pot of gold alongside the Irish Harp – iconic symbols of rich Irish heritage.
The real magic begins when fortune smiles upon you. Trigger Shamrock Surprise Multipliers by landing any of the three high symbols (Leprechaun, Pot of Gold, and Irish Harp) in a stack of three full adjacent columns to receive a winning spin. When triggered, high symbols create a random multiplier for the current win, depending on the number of full stacks that land during the feature.
Boost your balance by toggling the Fortune Bet option, which grants higher multipliers: 3 Full Stacks 3x-6x, 4 Full Stacks 3x-7x, 5 Full Stacks 3x-8x, 6 Full Stacks 3x-9x.
Feeling lucky? Land three or more special Leprechaun Hats to trigger the Free Spins mode. Multipliers are persistent and don’t reset until free spins end, with the potential for greater wins as the reels keep spinning.
But that’s not all. Land four or more Link Bonus Coins anywhere on the reels to unlock a cascade of rewards, from random credits on the coins to making them change colour and reveal corresponding prize pot wins: Maroon Coin 1-10x, Purple Coin 20x, Turquoise Coin 50x and Orange Coin 100x. There is also a chance to fill the screen and claim a 1000x bonus.
Armadillo Studios has released a series of hit titles including Alice’s Mad Fortune, Book of Armadillo, Franksylvania, Tiki Time Exotic Wilds, Fairy Fantasy Exotic Wilds, and many more.
David Stoveld, COO of Armadillo Studios, said: “Shamrock Surprise embodies the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, offering an immersive experience filled with Irish charm and excitement. We’re proud to release this game with its captivating features and big win potential. May the luck of the Irish be with you!”
