3 Pots Riches: Hold and Win

3 Pots Riches: Hold and Win Overview

3 Pots Riches: Hold and Win is an Irish-luck slot from Playson, released on 5 July 2023. It plays on 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines, and its bonus is a hold-and-win round shaped by three pots above the reels. The RTP is 95.76%, the volatility is medium-high, the maximum win is 16,746x, stakes run from 0.20 to 100, and SlotCatalog lists a hit frequency of 15.76%.

Reels and Symbols

The reels sit in a wooden frame on a sunny green meadow. The leprechaun is the Wild and stands three symbols tall; our base-game screenshot shows him on reels 1 and 5 at the same time. The other premium symbols are a horseshoe, a harp, a pint of beer and a coin pouch, the low tier is the card royals, and a rainbow hat marked Scatter starts the free spins.

Payouts

According to the game’s published paytable, the leprechaun wild and the horseshoe pay the most, 15x the bet for five on a line, with 3x for four and 0.75x for three. The harp pays up to 10x, the beer pint up to 8x and the pouch up to 6x, and the card royals make up the low end.

The Three Pots

Three pots sit on top of the reels, and each one names the modifier it brings to the bonus round:

• Double – the green pot.
• Mystery – the red pot.
• Collect – the blue pot.

Coloured clover coins land on the reels in the matching colours, and a red clover coin was in view when one of our bonus rounds began. When a pot is in play it lights up and overflows with gold, so it is always clear which modifier is shaping the current round. The end of a bonus is marked by a shower of clover coins over the reels and a large Total Win banner.

The Jackpots

The four jackpots above the pots scale with the stake. At a bet of 1.00 they read Mini 15, Minor 50, Major 150 and Grand 5,000; at 100.00 the same panel shows 1,500, 5,000, 15,000 and 500,000. In multiples of the bet that is 15x, 50x, 150x and 5,000x.

Starting the Bonus

The published description gives two ways in. Six or more Bonus coins and clover coins together start the hold-and-win round, and any clover coin in view can also trigger it at random, bringing the feature of its matching pot with it. Bonus coins carry values from 1x to 12x the bet. Filling all 15 positions during the round awards the Grand jackpot.

Hold and Win

Coins with cash values start the bonus. In our round at a 100.00 bet, the trigger spin showed coins worth 300.00, 300.00 and 700.00 with a red clover coin beside them. The red Mystery pot was active, and the grid filled with coins worth 100 to 300 plus a Mini jackpot coin. The round closed with a total win of 3,300.00 – 33x the bet.

A Base-Game Win

Line wins are modest by comparison. At the same 100.00 bet, a leprechaun wild with a Scatter and a row of symbols paid 100.00 – 1x the stake.

Free Spins

Three Scatters in the base game award 8 free spins and a 2x bet prize, according to the game’s description. During the free spins the wilds carry x2 multipliers on the wins they complete, and the hold-and-win round can still be triggered from inside the feature.

The Extra Version

Playson also released 3 Pots Riches Extra: Hold and Win on the same theme, and all six of our partner casinos also list this original version.

Who It Is For

3 Pots Riches: Hold and Win suits players who like hold-and-win rounds with a twist. The three pots decide how each bonus plays out, and the Grand jackpot at 5,000x sits well within the 16,746x maximum.
