When Play’n GO decided to reskin a fishing slot into something more… emerald-toned, Leprechaun’s Diamond Dig was born. It swaps sea spray for shamrocks and hooks for pickaxes but keeps the core mechanic of collecting special symbols mid-spin. A few minecarts roll in, free spins pile up, and multipliers sneak their way into the mix. It’s part of the wider family of online slot games that borrow liberally from each other, but there's a reason that works. If you're poking around online casino lobbies looking for familiar-yet-tweaked mechanics, this one checks a few boxes.
The title may say “diamond dig,” but there’s nothing particularly gritty going on here. The mine is clean, the leprechaun is smiling, and the background waterfall never misses a beat. The design stays in familiar Irish territory (hats, clovers, green hues) and doesn’t deviate too far from expectations. It’s a leprechaun slot, and it knows it.
The paytable is a mix of playing card symbols and mining-themed icons, topped off with the grinning face of the slot’s leading leprechaun. Here's how the symbols stack up.
Symbol | Payouts 3, 4, and 5 of a kind |
10 | 2x, 6x, 20x |
J | 2x, 6x, 20x |
Q | 2x, 6x, 20x |
K | 2x, 6x, 20x |
A | 2x, 6x, 20x |
Lantern | 8x, 30x, 200x |
Pickaxe | 6x, 20x, 100x |
Wheel | 6x, 20x, 100x |
Hat | 10x, 40x, 400x |
Leprechaun | 40x, 200x (4x, 5x only) |
Above the reels sit two minecarts. On any spin, one or both of them can potentially become “lucky” if a leprechaun pops out. When this happens, the carts can collect Diamond symbols. If one minecart is active, it collects from the reel below. If both are stacked above the same reel, they trigger the Mega Blast, scooping up every Diamond on the board.
Three or more Scatter symbols unlock 10 free spins. During these spins, both minecarts remain on every turn, giving you a higher chance to trigger either Reel Blast or Mega Blast. Diamond collections continue here, but now there's a twist: Lucky Clover symbols can drop in and get added to a multiplier meter. Reach certain milestones on that meter and your future Mega Blasts get a boost, 2x, 5x, 10x, or 25x multipliers can apply depending on how many clovers you’ve potentially hoarded.
Leprechaun’s Diamond Dig runs on a 5x4 grid and has 12 fixed paylines that pay left to right. Potential wins are formed in the usual way: match at least three symbols from the first reel onward. The Diamond symbols don’t pay in the standard way but have standalone values that are only collected if a minecart feature kicks in.
If themed reskins and symbol collection mechanics are your kind of thing, here are a few other online slots that might sound familiar:
Play’n GO hasn’t reinvented the wheel here, more like painted it green and handed it a shovel. The game functions as intended, the theme’s inoffensive, and the bonus mechanics will be familiar to anyone who’s taken a few spins on similar slot games. It leans a bit hard on old tricks, but it does so with polish. If it were a dish, it wouldn’t be haute cuisine, but the portions are generous enough for a second helping.
