How to cite

Slot Summary

Chase the Rainbow to open the free spins round, and 1st of the Irish shifts from cascading Cluster Pays into a collection-driven bonus. Red Rake Gaming gives its leprechaun theme a mechanical purpose through 5 separate meters, each tied to a different reel effect. Sticky Wilds, reel-filling Wilds, collected-symbol awards, and a Free Spins Multiplier make the meters the game's real identity.
MechanicsCascades fill meters that release distinct features

How It Plays

Cluster Pays replaces fixed-line evaluation, and each winning group clears through Cascading action. New symbols then enter, allowing another cluster to form within the same sequence.

Collected symbols feed 5 separate meters. Their effects differ, so the useful target changes according to which meter is closest to completion during the current play.

Theme & Atmosphere

Irish, Leprechaun, Clover, Lucky, and Rainbow themes are treated as working parts of the design, not merely as decorative shorthand.

Alcohol imagery supplies another collection symbol, while the Rainbow has the clearest mechanical role because it connects the base game to Free Spins and their multiplier.

Features & Win Potential

Symbols collection drives the main feature cycle, with completed meters producing effects such as Sticky Wilds or a reel filled with Wild symbols.

The Cascading and Cluster Pays combination lets a single initial result continue producing symbol drops, giving the collection meters repeated opportunities to advance.

Bonus & Free Spins

Rainbow collections open Free Spins, where the Free Spins Multiplier applies to wins rather than serving as a one-time entry award.

The bonus keeps the cascading Cluster Pays format while making Rainbow collection more consequential, since its effect multiplies qualifying wins throughout the round.

How long could a bankroll last on 1st of the Irish? We simulate thousands of sessions from this game's published RTP and volatility — the long-run math, not a prediction of your next spin.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.40%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (500×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
