Slot machine details and review Irish Weekend Bonus Buy
Irish Weekend Bonus Buy is an online slot you will play thanks to Evoplay, its developer. The design and action of this online slot machine will both make an impression, as we see the Irish influence in its design and in the presence of a leprechaun that seems to be fishing next to the reels. Itβs the game area and the way it plays out that is most interesting, though, since this slot offers 5 reels of 4 symbols each, and then allows you to get prizes or the bonus feature through a special Magic Catcher collection mechanic.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A slot machine with low to medium volatility.Wins are fairly frequent and sometimes even a higher win. The game has a more balanced course without major fluctuations, suitable for players who want more frequent wins but also the chance to win more. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
The influence on Irish Weekend Bonus Buy is clearly coming from Irish stories of the leprechaun, a character thatβs hiding a pot of gold in the spot where the rainbow ends. In this case, weβre looking at this character whoβs on a fishing trip. The reels look like theyβre part of a waterfall, and a special frame will move around on the reels, occupying 1 to 20 positions. The symbols that land within are collected, and the icons shown there include fish with bigger prizes or themed symbols with lower returns.
Irish Weekend Bonus Buy theme and symbols
This is no typical slot, and you can even see this in the reduced volatility (low to medium level) thatβs mentioned for it. It pays very well at its best, with rewards of up to 3,120x the roundβs stake being mentioned. It also has an OK RTP of 95.98%, which is about as good as you can expect from most slots right now. The way to play this game is mostly with the help of the Magic Catcher, which is a framed area that occupies 1, 2, 4, 5, or 20 positions. The symbols found within the frame will pay. Youβre not guaranteed to get symbols in those frames, since blank positions are often present in the game area.

Bonus symbol
The Bonus symbol is marked as such, and its image is that of a Pot of Gold. It can appear during paid spins.
Wheel of Fortune
If a bonus symbol appears in a Magic Catcher frame, it will trigger the Wheel of Fortune, and you get one spin. The spin of the Wheel can deliver access to 10-20 free spins or the Ultra Spin Bonus.
Fish symbols
You can get four types of fish symbols in the game area, and each one comes with a different range of prizes. The lowest paying ones pay 1x to 3x, while the best one (the golden fish) pays 20x to 70x or one of the three fixed jackpots (Mini, Mega, or Super).
Fishpots
The Gold Fish symbol is the one that can bring you one of the fixed jackpots, which they call Fishpots. The Mini Fishpot is worth 100x the stake, the Mega Fishpot is at 750x, while the Super Fishpot pays 3,000x the stake. You can claim one of these prizes when the Gold Fish symbol that carries it appears in a position thatβs within the Magic Catcherβs frame.
Ultra Spin Bonus
Triggered via the Wheel of Fortune, the Ultra Spin Bonus is going to give you only one round, but it can be a powerful one. Here, the Magic Catcher occupies the entire game area, so all symbols that land will pay. You can get only Fish symbols or blank positions for this one round.
Free Spins
As for the free spins feature, itβs the usual one, with rounds you donβt pay for, which are played at the value of the triggering roundβs bet. You get either 10, 15, or 20 free spins. In this mode, only Fish symbols can appear. The difference from the Ultra Spin Bonus is that the Magic Catcher is not fixed and can occupy anywhere from 2 to 20 positions.
Bonus Buy
You can also trigger the main feature by paying an extra fee. You have the option of paying 26x the stake for the Ultra Spin Bonus, or you can pay 25x, 37x, or 49x, and get either 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively.

Our rating of the game
Irish Weekend Bonus Buy
Donβt let that Irish theme or the presence of fish with prizes fool you. This is no ordinary slot machine, and so it can be an excellent option for a player who wants a casual experience and something unique at the same time. The use of the Magic Catcher frame to deliver prizes works well enough, especially if we go by the good potential of the slotβs prizes or the reduced volatility that youβre likely to experience.

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
Uses a Magic Catcher frame to collect prizes, so it doesnβt need any regular combinations to form.
It has the Fish symbols, which can be collected, and will pay excellent prizes even during paid spins.
The free spins feature is there to deliver bigger prizes, if youβre lucky enough to trigger it.
As an alternative, the Ultra Spin Bonus gives you a single round, but itβs guaranteed to pay.
The RTP looks OK at 95.98%, a level most would consider fair.
Itβs a low to medium volatility online slot, so it shouldnβt deplete your budget too quickly.
Wins of up to 3,120x the stake are always great to have as a target, especially when volatility is low.
Cons
Itβs a common theme that youβre looking at, revolving around Irish leprechauns and fishing.
You donβt get symbols in all positions, so the game area can feel a bit empty for the most part.
Individual paying symbols offer very little, up to 0.5x, so itβs the fish symbols that can make this game profitable.
