The Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins demo is the free, no-signup version of Blueprint Gaming’s June 2015 release — a ten-line Irish board whose distinguishing idea is that you can buy into a separate reel-set mode. It runs 95.05% RTP in standard play and 95.32% in Fortune Spins, with a 50,000× ceiling capped at £250,000. Both of those numbers need unpicking, and neither is quite what it looks like.

Play the Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins demo free
The Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins demo runs the real game on play money: the same ten both-way lines, the same Fortune Spins mode, the same leprechaun. No download, no account, no deposit.
Demo it specifically to try Fortune Spins mode without paying for it. In real money that mode starts at £2 a go — twenty times the standard 10p spin — and the demo is the only place you can find out whether it suits you before committing to that price.
This demo is part of our Blueprint Gaming demo collection.
Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins slot at a glance
How the game plays
The base game is a plain five reels by three rows with ten paylines that pay both ways — left to right and right to left. Both-way paying on ten lines is effectively twenty chances, and it is the one genuinely generous thing about the base board.
Fortune Spins is the separate mode. You pay a larger stake and play on multiple reel sets at once, which is where the game’s name and its reputation come from.
Two modes, two prices, two RTPs. Everything about this game follows from that.
The story behind the game
Blueprint’s Irish-themed catalogue is one of the deepest in the UK market, and Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins arrived on 30 June 2015 as the one that added a paid secondary mode.
It is a decade old now, and it shows in the numbers rather than the artwork: a sub-96% return in both modes, and a maximum-win structure that was designed around land-based cash caps rather than online multipliers. Blueprint has since released a Fortune Spins 2 and several Megaways editions.
Symbols and paytable
A conventional Irish ladder, with both-way paying doing more work than any single symbol.
| Paylines | 10, paying both ways — left to right and right to left. |
|---|---|
| Standard stake | From 10p to £100 a spin. |
| Fortune Spins stake | From £2 to £500 — a different game economically, not just mechanically. |
| Fortune Spins mode | Play across multiple reel sets simultaneously. The mode the game is named after. |
| Standard RTP | 95.05%. |
| Fortune Spins RTP | 95.32% — 0.27 points higher for a twenty-fold minimum stake increase. |
| Maximum win | 50,000× stake. |
| Cash cap | £250,000, which binds before the multiplier does at any stake above £5. |
No cascades, no ways-to-win, no Megaways engine. This is a 2015 board with a paid mode attached.
Bonus features and free spins
Both-way paylines
The ten lines pay from the left and from the right, which effectively doubles the chances of any given line connecting. It is the base game’s best quality and the reason it does not feel as thin as its age suggests.
Fortune Spins mode
A separate, paid mode where you play across multiple reel sets at once. It lifts the RTP to 95.32% from 95.05% — but the entry price starts at £2 against a 10p standard spin.
Two RTPs, player-chosen
Unusual: on most games the casino picks the build and you cannot change it. Here the player moves the figure. It is just not a very good deal — 0.27 percentage points for twenty times the minimum stake.
The £250,000 cash cap
The 50,000× headline only holds at stakes of £5 or below. At the £100 standard maximum your real ceiling is 2,500×; in Fortune Spins at £500 it is 500×. The cap, not the multiplier, is the binding constraint.
No modern mechanics
No cascades, no multiplier ladder, no Megaways. The game is exactly what it was in 2015, and that is worth knowing before comparing it to anything recent.
- Both-way paylines are genuinely generous on a ten-line board and keep the base game livelier than its age would suggest.
- The Fortune Spins mode is a real structural idea rather than a reskin — multiple reel sets at once is not something most 2015 slots attempted.
- You can move the RTP yourself, which is rare. On almost every other slot the figure is chosen for you.
- A 10p standard entry keeps the base game accessible.
- No jackpot taking a slice out of the return on the standard edition.
- 95.05% standard is well below the modern average — nearly a point and a half below a typical 96.5% game.
- The Fortune Spins RTP of 95.32% is still below average, so the paid mode does not rescue the figure; it just makes it slightly less bad at twenty times the price.
- The £250,000 cash cap makes the 50,000× headline unreachable at any stake above £5, and absurd at the £500 Fortune Spins maximum.
- No published hit frequency from any source.
- A decade-old board with no cascades or modern multiplier mechanics, competing against games that have both.
How Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins compares
Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins against the other Blueprint boards we have reviewed.
| Game | Released | Lines / ways | Max win | RTP | Cash cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins | 2015 | 10 both-way | 50,000× | 95.05 / 95.32 | £250,000 |
| Mighty Griffin Megaways | 2019 | 117,649 | 50,000× | 95.46 | £250,000 |
| King Kong Cash | 2016 | 20 lines | 1,000× | 95.79 | — |
| Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Fish | 2023 | 10 lines | 10,000× | 95 / 93 / 92 | — |
| Crabbin’ For Christmas | 2022 | 10 lines | 2,500× | 95 / 93 / 92 | — |
Two of Blueprint’s 50,000× headlines in this table share the same £250,000 cash cap. It is a house structure rather than a quirk of one game, and it is worth recognising wherever you see that number on a Blueprint title.
Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins RTP, volatility and max win
Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins is published at more than one RTP. This is not the usual story of a casino choosing a build. Here the player moves the RTP by choosing how to bet: standard play returns 95.05%, and entering Fortune Spins mode lifts it to 95.32%. The catch is that Fortune Spins costs between £2 and £500 a go, against 10p for a standard spin. You are buying 0.27 percentage points at twenty times the entry price.
| 95.32% | With the Fortune Spins mode selected. |
|---|---|
| 95.05% | Standard play — the figure most sessions actually run at. |
Standard play returns 95.05%. Selecting Fortune Spins mode lifts it to 95.32%. Both sit below the modern average of roughly 96.5%, so there is no configuration of this game that returns what a typical new release does.
The interesting part is that the choice is yours rather than the casino’s, which is genuinely unusual. The uninteresting part is what the choice costs: a standard spin starts at 10p, Fortune Spins at £2. You are paying a twenty-fold minimum stake increase to gain 0.27 percentage points.
Bets, bankroll and session planning
Standard play runs from 10p to £100 a spin. Fortune Spins runs from £2 to £500.
The cash cap makes the top of both bands self-defeating if the maximum win is what you are playing for. At £500 a spin the £250,000 ceiling is 500× your stake — one hundredth of the advertised figure.
Playing on mobile
A ten-line, five-by-three board is trivial to fit on a phone, and this one is fine. Fortune Spins mode is the harder case, since it shows multiple reel sets at once, and on a small screen those sets become genuinely cramped. It works, but it is the one part of the game that is clearly happier on a desktop.
Five things to know before you spin
- Try Fortune Spins in the demo before you ever pay for it. It starts at £2 against a 10p standard spin, and what you are buying is the format rather than the 0.27 points of RTP.
- Keep the stake at £5 or under for the headline win. The £250,000 cash cap means 50,000× is unreachable above that. At the £500 Fortune Spins maximum it works out at 500×.
- Know that both RTPs are below average. 95.05% standard and 95.32% in Fortune Spins. There is no configuration of this game that returns what a typical new release does.
- Use the both-way paylines properly. All ten pay from the left and the right, which is the base game’s single best quality and the reason it holds up at all.
- Set expectations by its age. This is a 2015 board — no cascades, no multiplier ladder, no Megaways engine. Compare it to its contemporaries, not to this year’s releases.

Our verdict on Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins
A real idea, a below-average return, and a ceiling you cannot reach
Giving the player a lever on the RTP is rare and worth acknowledging, and both-way paylines keep the base board from feeling as dated as it is. Fortune Spins mode was a genuinely ambitious thing to attempt in 2015.
But the numbers do not hold up. Standard play returns 95.05% and the paid mode gets you to 95.32% — still below average — for a minimum stake twenty times higher. And the 50,000× headline is bounded by a £250,000 cash cap that puts it out of reach at any stake above £5, which at the mode’s own £500 maximum reduces the real ceiling to 500×.
Worth a demo session for the Fortune Spins novelty. For real money, Blueprint’s own Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Fish gives you a 10,000× ceiling with no cash cap at a comparable return.
