You’ve got to love the tongue in cheek manner in which online casino software companies can just about tackle anything without offending anyone. OK, let’s be realistic, there are probably some folk out there who have taken offence to a game or two but on the whole this doesn’t occur. With Spud O’Reilly’s Crops of Gold Online Video Pokies, Playtech have taken on the Irish with tasteful comical effect. Yes, the game’s theme is clichéd but that doesn’t prevent it from being fun. Every Irish stereotype you can imagine has been incorporated into this video pokies game. There’s a burly farmer who sports a classic and comical plumber’s crack during the Sheep Shearing Bonus. He’s joined by an Irish mammy, a tractor, Guinness beer, horseshoes and four leaf clovers.
Because Spud O’Reilly’s Crop of Gold Online Video Pokies is a Playtech product, you would need to play it in a casino that is stocked by Playtech. With this in mind I’d like to suggest playing it at Grand Reef Casino, a popular choice for Australian players and a casino that’s willing to give its new players up to AU$ 5000 in bonus cash!
Grand Reef has divided this behemoth bonus into 5 smaller ones. Now I need to make mention that because this is a casino bonus it will inevitably come with wagering requirements, meaning that the amount you receive will have to be played a certain number of times. There is no exact science to beating this. However, what I always do when dealing with a bonus is I make a big deposit in order to get a big amount back. Then I bet big to hopefully strike a massive win. You will need a big win if you’re going to chip away at those wagering requirements. Sometimes it works and sometimes it fails. Online casino bonuses are truly hit and miss offers. If you’re lucky they can yield winnings, and they do allow you more leigh way in terms of playing but quite frankly, if you’re uncertain, then take up the first part of the bonus, see how that goes and then make a call.
Spud O’Reilly’s Crop of Gold Online Pokies offers 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines of fun, entertainment and great possible wins. As the farmer, Spud O’Reilly is the Wild symbol and will replace everything else except for the Scatter and Bonus symbol. Landing 5 Spud’s on an active payline will award you with a 10 000 coins jackpot while the game’s two bonus games are sure to bring about even more fun and winning possibilities.
The Sheep Shearing Bonus game is entered into once you land three or more sheep Bonus symbols on an active payline. Unlike a Scatter symbol, you cannot profit from this symbol if it lands anywhere on the reels. It has to land on an active payline. In other words, you need 3 in a row starting on reel 1 and following consecutively. Right, that was overkill in terms of explaining! Once within the bonus game you’ll need to pick a sheep for Spud to shave down to reveal a cash prize. You’ll be able to shear more sheep if more bonus symbols activate this feature. What I really like about the Sheep Shearing Bonus is the fact that it can also be activated in the Free Spins feature.
That famous Irish symbol of luck, the four leaf clover, is this online video pokies Scatter symbol and will grant you a rite of passage into the Free Spin feature when three or more appear on the reels. You’ll be rewarded with 10 free spins and a 2x multiplier to boost all successful spins, and as I have already mentioned, you can also activate the Sheep Shearing Bonus feature which can only mean that more cash skips your way!
