About 7 Clovers of Fortune
7 Clovers of Fortune was released on 14 October 2024 as an exclusive and on 24 October in wide distribution, according to SlotCatalog. Our entry said 7 March 2024: the date has been corrected. The game came out of a collaboration between Pragmatic Play and the American studio Wild Streak Gaming, and reuses the classic Irish imagery — clovers, pots of gold, leprechauns.
Its geometry deserves a pause, because our database described it wrongly. This is not a 5×3 with 20 lines but a 6×5 with uneven reels. Reels 1, 2, 4 and 5 carry five symbols; the third carries only three, its top and bottom positions being reserved for prize displays; the sixth takes no part in combinations and serves purely as a value column. The result is a 5-5-3-5-5 sequence, meaning 1,875 ways to win rather than 20 lines.
The central mechanic is called Connect & Collect. Special symbols link up across the grid and, depending on the chain formed, trigger a reward: sticky respins, extra wilds, cash collect symbols, free spins or a jackpot.
Three fixed jackpots circulate, expressed as multiples of the stake: Minor at 20x, Major at 100x and Grand at 4,000x. They are obtained by gathering adjacent Connect & Collect symbols. These are fixed amounts, not progressive pots fed by players.
Those figures have to be set against the ceiling, because the ratio is remarkable. The game's maximum win is 4,454x, and the Grand jackpot is worth 4,000x: the best named prize therefore represents close to 90% of the theoretical maximum. On most fixed-jackpot machines that ratio sits around a third. Here, landing the Grand is very nearly landing the ceiling.
The free spins open in two ways. Three or more pot-of-gold scatters give a session of 10 to 20 spins. Connect & Collect can grant them too, on a scale of 7, 10, 15, 20 or 25 spins. During the session, extra wilds and collect symbols are added to the grid.
The reference RTP is 96.47%, meaning €3.53 of theoretical margin per €100 staked. That is slightly under the 96.50% carried by the vast majority of the studio's catalogue. SlotCatalog flags the existence of lowered versions, invisible on screen as everywhere else at Pragmatic Play.
On rhythm, the hit rate reaches 29.23%, roughly one paying spin every 3.42. The bonus is a good deal rarer: SlotCatalog measures a natural trigger every 134.33 spins.
Stakes run from €0.25 to €250 per spin — our entry listed €125, a corrected value. The 4,454x ceiling represents €1,113.50 at the minimum stake and €1,113,500 at the maximum, with a probability SlotCatalog estimates at 1 in 36,363,636 spins. That ceiling places the title below 86.4% of the 634 Pragmatic Play games listed at BetsRank, whose median sits at 10,000x.
Finally, a bonus buy at 100x the stake is available, meaning €25 at the minimum stake. It is banned in the United Kingdom, where the Gambling Commission classes feature buys among loss accelerators.
