Most cascading slots remove the winners and keep the rest. Lucky Clover Riches, an Irish pub slot PG Soft released in June 2023, does the opposite: the winning symbols stay, everything else is swept off the board, and new symbols fall into the gaps until the winning group stops growing. On one of my spins a group of kings ended up covering two thirds of the grid. In 100 demo spins at 12.00 the best result was 240.00, a group of kings with a gold clover worth x5.

A thin session
The balance ended at 99,715.60: 915.60 back on 1,200.00. Only 28 spins paid. Seven spins paid 30.00 or more, the largest on spins 62, 18 and 35, and they made 825.00 together; the other twenty-one added 90.60. Between spin 69 and spin 75 nothing paid, and from 81 to 92 only one spin did.

Pay by count, not by line
The grid is six columns by five rows, and a win needs at least eight copies of one symbol, wherever they sit. The paytable is a long list of counts, from 8 up to all 30 positions. Below is a selection; at my bet one point was 0.60.
| Symbol | 8 | 12 | 15-17 | 20-24 | 30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Irish girl | 100 | 500 | 1,500 | 3,500 | 100,000 |
| Golden harp | 50 | 250 | 800 | 1,500 | 20,000 |
| Mandolin | 35 | 100 | 600 | 1,200 | 10,000 |
| Beer and bottle | 20 | 80 | 500 | 1,000 | 5,000 |
| Green beer | 15 | 60 | 250 | 800 | 2,500 |
| A | 10 | 50 | 150 | 400 | 800 |
| K | 5 | 25 | 80 | 300 | 600 |
| Q, J, 10 | 1 to 4 | 10 to 20 | 40 to 60 | 100 to 200 | 400 to 500 |
The jumps are large at the top of the table and modest for cards. Eight kings pay 3.00, a quarter of the bet; twenty kings pay 180.00, sixty times as much. Farmstead Fortune from 2026 also pays by group size, on a 5x5 field where a Mini Bonus fills the board with a single symbol.
How a group grows
When a spin has a winning group, every symbol in it is turned into the highest-paying symbol among the winners, and every symbol that is not part of a win explodes. The emptied cells refill. If the new symbols add to the group or create a new one, another round follows; when nothing more is added, the game pays once, for the final size of each group.
Spin 18 shows it well. The first refill brought a group of kings across most of the grid, with a few mandolins, queens and beer glasses in the holes.
Those holes were swept away again and again, and more kings dropped in each time. The group finished with at least twenty kings, which pays 300 points, 180.00.
Gold clovers
A gold four-leaf clover can land in any spin and stays on the grid until the spin ends. Then each clover turns into one of two things: a multiplier from x2 to x20 for the spin's win, or a Level-up, which upgrades every symbol on the board to the next higher-paying one.
On spin 62 a clover sat in the second row of reel two with a group of kings around it. The group was worth 48.00, about sixteen kings, and the clover revealed x5.
48.00 × 5 = 240.00, twenty stakes. I did not see a Level-up in my session.
Three gold clovers on every bonus spin
A trio of pot-of-gold scatters is worth 15 free spins; every extra pot adds two. Every free spin gets three gold clovers at the top of the reels, and they take effect at the end of that spin as multipliers or Level-ups. The round can retrigger. This feature stayed out of reach during my session, and the details above are taken from the paytable.
