Emerald Isle’s name refers to Ireland, an island that is often described as very green. That color is actually the one that is most often associated with the Irish people and their land, so you will see it both in symbols and in the beautiful background graphics.
Irish slot machines are not rare, so you might already know what kind of symbols will be used inside. If you’re thinking of treasures, leprechauns and rainbows, then you’re right, that’s exactly the kind of game that we have here.
The list is completed with the help of images with redhead girls, with clovers and a bunch of Celtic poker letters/numbers.
Developer
NextGen Gaming is now part of the NYX Group, and they seem to have picked up some speed in releasing new slot machines, since this move took place a couple of years ago. They’ve released multiple games in 2016 already, some of them with common themes, others offering a branded experience (King Kong and James Dean).
I’m usually a fan of the quality of the graphics in their slots, but they don’t always go all the way. Some of their slots are truly impressive though, and I would mention Great Wild Elk and Robin Hood Prince of Tweets in this category.
How To Play It
The only way to change the bet, is to simply modify the entire value, since you can’t deactivate certain lines or use fewer coins. You just take the bet from a minimum value of $0.40, to one that is as high as $40. The line bet would vary between $0.01 and $2.
I’ve mentioned it already, but this is not a game that will manage to impress anyone if you’re looking just at the choice of theme. The design does better though, and it partially makes up for the boring theme. The background image looks even better than the stuff shown on the reels.

Special Features
Leprechauns will be among the most useful symbols you will find in this game. At the same time, they will offer the top jackpot of the slot, they will act as substitutes, and they will be triggers for a very profitable bonus game.
The big prize that the Leprechaun offers will come from its own combinations, which have 1 to 5 symbols in them, arranged from the left. Payouts go from 2 to 6,000 coins.
If used as a wild, the Leprechaun will need to be in the position from where it can do some good, with the rest of the requirements for the combo in place as well. Wilds can’t replace scattered Rainbows.
As for the bonus game, to trigger it you will need the Leprechaun wild on the reels 1 & 5, simultaneously. Once inside, you will win a prize, and its value could reach 500x triggering bet.
With the Rainbow scatter, we have the second symbol that Emerald Isle will use to make itself more profitable for you. Both free spins and cash prizes will come from it, depending on the number of triggering symbols. 2+ gets you a prize, reaching 100x the bet. 3+ symbols give you 10 free spins, where prizes get tripled.
Maximum Payouts
The regular top jackpot will deliver you 6,000 coins, which means a value of up to $12,000. That’s in the base game though, with the free spins tripling wins, and going up to $36,000.
Summary
Emerald Isle has its good and its bad sides. It could’ve been a great choice if it didn’t have this Irish theme, which is available in many other games.
