Leprechaun Hills Demo: Stacked Respins and Rainbow Free Spins
Quickspin's Leprechaun Hills (March 2017) runs 40 lines on 5x4 reels, with a leprechaun, toadstools and a pint of stout among its symbols. Its 96.49% RTP splits into 37.31% base game, 28.32% Lucky Respins and 30.86% Rainbow Free Spins on the sheet, which puts volatility at 5 of 5. The current game's simulated top win is 1,159.5x the bet.
What triggers a Lucky Respin in Leprechaun Hills?
The help screen gives a single trigger, "Any win on a medium symbol", and promises that in the respin "the winning symbol will have massive stacks". It does not list which symbols are medium. Its example shows a win on leprechauns followed by a respin on reels stacked with leprechauns, so the leprechaun is one of them. How many respins follow is not stated.

One medium-symbol win, one respin on stacked reels
All 16 Lucky Respins in our log followed wins on the four pictures below the leprechaun (horseshoe, clover, toadstool, pint), while the 26 base wins on the card ranks A to 10 paid without one. The leprechaun itself never won in the base game of those 500 spins.
Every Lucky Respin in the log was a single respin: seven added a win, nine added nothing, and together they paid €97.10. The starting win stays paid either way. On spin 233 it was €0.80 from four short lines, the respin brought three Wilds to reel 2 and €74.50, and the spin finished on 94.12x the bet.
Only one respin came in the media session, ending on stacked leprechauns, and the frame does not show which win started it. Card ranks paid straight there too: two spins later, Wilds and Js paid €22.00 with no respin at all.
Seven free spins built around one mystery symbol
Three Bonus pots start 7 Rainbow Free Spins. Rainbow tiles are mystery symbols that turn into a medium symbol, and in our log and clip all the rainbows on a spin became the same one. The game sheet adds a 50% chance of "the best possible" symbol without saying best by what measure, and the help screen leaves that line out.
Pots never doubled up on a reel in our 500 base screens: two showed 72 times, three only 5. Each of those five rounds ran exactly 7 spins. Of the 35, 21 paid nothing, and the rainbows became leprechauns nine times. The rounds returned 1x, 164.75x, 11.75x, 74.75x and 15.12x the bet; the best rested on one free spin with 13 five-symbol lines, 130x on its own.
That round came on the 26th spin of the media session and paid €18.25, 9.1x the bet; four of its seven spins paid nothing.
€0.80 a spin and a win once in 10.6
Staked at €0.80, our 500 logged spins cost €400.00 and returned €390.60, or 97.7%.

- 9.4%of them paid something
- 164.75xbest spin, free spins round included
- 5free spins bonuses triggered
Only 47 spins paid, the lowest hit rate of any session on this site. The longest dry run, 35 spins from spin 15 to 49 and the longest on the site, came straight after a free spins round worth 1x, and the balance sank to its lowest, €4,915.30, on spin 125, a spin ahead of the best round.
Three hits of 50x and up brought €266.90, 68.3% of the return. As shares of the stake, free spins paid 53.5% (sheet: 30.86%), respins 24.3% (28.32%) and other base wins 19.9% (37.31%). Five bonuses are too small a sample to read much into that.
Sakura Fortune followed a month later with its own stacked respin
Sakura Fortune, out in April 2017 on the same 5x4 grid and 40 lines, also respins on stacks, though only when two full Princess Wild stacks land at once. Our session there hit on 16.4% of spins, with a longest dry run of 34.
On the same layout, Pied Piper walks one stacked Piper across the reels instead of restocking them, and hit on 15.6% of our spins.
Who can sit through 35 dry spins
Anyone who can take long silences. We saw one paid spin in ten and two thirds of the money in three hits. Quickspin publishes a single RTP model here, 96.49%, the same as the demo server's, and there is no buy or side bet to change it.

The stake question comes first, because it explains every multiple from our log.
Why was the session logged at €0.80 and not €1.00?
The demo server has no €1.00 stake, only €0.80 and €1.20 either side, and we took the lower one; the client opens at €2.00. Every multiple from our log is the euro amount divided by €0.80.
Does a Lucky Respin always add to the win that started it?
No. Nine of our 16 respins added nothing, though the starting win was still paid in full. The other seven paid €97.10 between them, €74.50 of it on spin 233 alone.
Is there a Wild, and what does it pay?
Yes, though Quickspin's page and sheet skip it. The red Wild tile on the help screen covers for every symbol bar the Bonus Scatter, and no pay of its own is listed. Wilds landed in respins and free spins too, three on reel 2 in the respin of spin 233.
Which top win applies today, 1,159.5x or 1,627x?
The demo server's 1,159.5x, the largest win in Quickspin's simulation of 1 billion spins of the current game. The 2017 game sheet printed 1,627x from a simulation of the same size at the same 96.49% RTP. Quickspin does not say what changed, and neither figure is a cap.
Did any rainbow round run longer than seven spins?
No. All five rounds in our log ran exactly seven, as did the one we filmed. The help screen gives 7 Rainbow Free Spins for 3 Bonus Scatters, mentions no retrigger, and keeps the scatters to the three middle reels.
